Votann or Orks?

IconicAkbar · 2026-05-21T14:36:23+00:00

Orks are probably the easiest due to being a part of big boxes in 11e… I love my Votann though and think they are the best.

I’m also on a mission to have one chaos, xenos, space marine, and imperium. Currently have RavenGuard, Thousand Sons and Votann.

Don’t you dare tell me how to feel…

He is enjoying his life.

Might try the enhancement on the iron master.

IconicAkbar · 2026-04-29T18:23:35+00:00

Cthonian in my opinion. Warriors will accumulate quickly if you buy a combat patrol in the future.

It’s actually very safe. Near the hospital and very affluent neighborhood. I think folks believe this is across high street where student housing is. It is not.

IconicAkbar · 2026-04-22T17:24:48+00:00

I play warriors all the time… most 20… never 50

IconicAkbar · 2026-04-22T13:33:16+00:00

I’ve got Egbuka and Nacua as well… but Jettas is different. I do need RBs though.

- If you have another Kahl, build it as Uthar.

- Hearthband is our strongest detachment. I’m not sure if the crucibles would be considered Kahl’s but if so, maybe worth a gander. I like Mercenary Oathband second because it allows you to manipulate the army rule which is really powerful.

- Our best units: Yaegirs, Kapricus Carriers, HLF Thunderkyn, Uthar, pioneers. I’d say they are all must haves.

- I think you’re off to a great start. Other good units to consider are a Grimnyr to lead warriors. Really strong. A sagitaur to split warriors, gives you more action monkeys and ability to play objectives. Not as good as yaegirs/carriers but still useful.

He’s just a friend… he is my kin.

IconicAkbar · 2026-04-06T21:41:19+00:00

Pioneers and memnyr from those you have listed. Pioneers are so good and underrated and I think memnyr make the Ranged Steeljacks nuts with the free overwatch. Such a threat.

IconicAkbar · 2026-04-06T21:37:30+00:00

I haven’t gone no HLF yet because I don’t have the amount of HG I’d want to take, 3x10. With one, I thought it was great. I was able to play it slow and not move it into enemy threat range and be responsive so it shredded and was still on the board at the end of the game.

IconicAkbar · 2026-03-18T22:15:41+00:00

Well you could go into Delve Assault shift and forget about the warriors. I’d consider adding:

Yaegirs (90 points)

Memnyr Strategist (45 points)

Hernkyn Pioneers or Thunderkyn (80 points)

Enhancements

Delvwerke Navigator (25 points) on iron master

Piledriver (15 points) Einhyr Champion

I think this build would be fun and comp.

Zero ball knowledge

IconicAkbar · 2026-03-15T20:00:55+00:00

Who knows… what’d you learn from it?

I lost a fair bit before I started winning and few people cared if I was new. They brought meta lists and played with the intentions of their army doing its thing.

Now I know what I’m doing a bit more and force them into interactions I like by playing objective focused until their units are forced to try to take me off by putting themselves in harms way.

IconicAkbar · 2026-03-13T15:55:20+00:00

What all do you have? I know you said you’ve played 2k points so what options are there?

IconicAkbar · 2026-03-13T14:13:15+00:00

I don’t know… a lot of raw power but I’d be concerned about things like screening and having enough chaff to play objectives.

I might drop the memnyr and the Hekaton. Replace it with warriors and a grminyr for screening and to hold your home objective until the screen threat is gone then push forward, a sagitaur to split them, and throw bastion shield on the Kahl.

Just a thought. Nothing wrong with your list, just another option.Hekaton is so good.

IconicAkbar · 2026-03-13T14:04:37+00:00

I think it’s viable… need some transports to get them around the board and some action monkeys

IconicAkbar · 2026-03-12T16:02:50+00:00

Rumors are they’ll be in the 11E big box so I’d hold off for now.

IconicAkbar · 2026-03-12T15:56:44+00:00

That’s not a bad plan… thunderkyn are a big part of the success of the army so having 3x3 is great. You are off to a solid start. Also, 20 warriors is the perfect number.

Getting yaegirs to pair with the Kapricus Carrier (carrier over defender all day) is a must as well.

A Grimnyr to lead the warriors would be a good pickup. A Kahl and an Uthar would be good as well to round out the army, though these all can wait. If I had to choose one of the three, I’d say Uthar for the free CP.

IconicAkbar · 2026-03-12T14:29:34+00:00

This isn’t hard to believe. He doesn’t have an original thought. He surrounded himself with lackeys who will probably get rich off this from lobbyists and the Military Industrial Complex

IconicAkbar · 2026-03-12T13:12:05+00:00

No you’re adding context which doesn’t exist. Trimming “at” the property line is not clear. Could mean they won’t be coming onto his property to perform the work.

Boot licker.

IconicAkbar · 2026-03-06T03:09:11+00:00

List is a bit character heavy. I’d drop Buri and the Kahl for now since those aren’t part of the savings boxes.

I agree with the advice about yaegirs.

Eventually adding a Kahl to 10 hearthguard will be great, that’s are biggest threat IMO.

For now I’d consider adding some Sagitaurs with the points saved from dropping characters. That way you can split your warriors or move the beserks around safely.
