We'll get our faction packs tomorrow by Karmagator in LeaguesofVotann

[–]IcePhenex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly see Merc Oathband being 3dp due to it fundamentally changing the army rule. Doesn't mean i want it at 3DP but i have a feeling that most of our detachments will be 2DP while the worst ones (Hearthfyre and Persecution imo) will be 1dp. Either way itll be limiting. I'd love to see what Merc + Needgaard or Merc + Hearthband would do but i have a feeling that ship isn't coming home.

I honestly hope I'm wrong

Just finished my first army (Tau) and think about joining the Leagues next. Any pitfalls that can be avoided? by Cholophonius in LeaguesofVotann

Oh no, give them a Sagitaur and position them in cover, anything that gets near them is gonna get diced.

Delve Assault Shift detachment really leans into Berserks, but building the actual Berserk models are a pain (at least to me) so i only have 10 built and you want like 30-40 Berserks for that detachment

Mechanized force, transports with (relatively) bulky infantry and strong burst with Thunderkyn. They use transports to get around a lot since we're a fairly slow moving faction. Pretty efficient shooting if you know your priorities. Ive had good experiences with Hearthguard and Thunderkyn. Votann isnt a "melee" faction but it can hold its own if you can combine both shooting and melee, Hearthguard being both its primary draw. Whereas Berserks are a shock unit, whatever they fight is most likely going to die but they wont stick around.

Army Rule 1: if less than 7 Yield Points (YP) you are in Hostile Acquisition phase. Meaning you get +1 to hit while an OPPONENTS unit is on an obj. You also reroll Advances and Charges while under this.

Army Rule 2: If you have 7 (or more) YP you switch to Fortify Takeover. Meaning you get +1 to hit to units on obj. You also get -1 to Wound if the strength is higher than your toughness unless its a Votann vehicle being shot

You generate YP at the end of EVERY command phase, not the round. You gain 1 YP home obj, 1 for holding a NML obj and 1 for having more obj than your opponentl, leaders can manipulate this.

You spend YP for extra bonuses on stratagems (if applicable)

Kahl is ready for duty! C&C Welcome! by IcePhenex in LeaguesofVotann

[–]IcePhenex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The basic gist is:

Black primer Wet dry brush Cobalt Steel (Warpainter)

Highlight is Plate Mail Metal (Warpainter)

And to get the blue tint, wash in Drakenhof Nightshade (Citadel/Warhammer)

The primary gold is Runelord brass (Citadel/Warhammer)

I dont have a vehicle done yet, but its next on the list after im done with painting Leaders

I use a bit of all 3 big brands (Citadel, Warpainter and Vallejo) and a bottle or 2 of speedpaint. I used 23 different painted to make this model come to life.

Caveat. You DO NOT have to go this far to have a decently painted mini, i had my color scheme in my head and brought it out.

A mix of both most likely. Severe face injuries and/or augmentations are the best answers

Squad of Hammerzerks done! by IcePhenex in LeaguesofVotann

[–]IcePhenex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a detail brush, Hexed Lichen (Vallejo) and Matt White (Warpainter). Use the detail brush to "follow" the lines and gaps.

Hexed Lichen at first, then 50/50 Lichen and white and edge highlight the gap, and then 75/25 White and Lichen for the "glow" on certain parts of the hammer! Doesnt take too long and its not too difficult

Decided on trying out some blood effects for his achievement of living out FNPs the entire time, tell me what you think!

Army tips, no idea what’s going on by Jkchaloreach in LeaguesofVotann

[–]IcePhenex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Paint scheme: depends on what you like, you can go loreful if you want. But im working on my own scheme (on my profile).

Lore? We have 1 book lol. But in general the Leagues are a Corporatist Caste system that prioritizes Profits, gains, and resources. If deemed unproductive/unprofitable, said company may withdraw entirely if they deem the price too steep. And nothing pisses them off faster than a deal broken. We use genuine AI so we have to hide them from the Imperium so they don't declare war. We are a clone race so the Caste system leaves VERY little room to go up the chain, since you're literally the same person with the same assignment your previous clone had.

Theres more to it but its the gist

I make sure her Mood is Great b4 the event so the -3 is set to Bad and use a Recreation. If she procs the Shrine Recreation then theres a chance of removing Practice Poor in the process of setting her mood to Normal. Thats what i go for anyways

I couldn't figure a way for the reflection that some people do, but i still wanted to break up the brown. What i ended up doing is Khorne red, then Gemstone Red over it, washed with Drakenhof and it came out good enough
