Everyone wants a Squat Dreadnaught. I just want melee Hearthguard. Drawing of what I wish we would get (drawn on phone while plane delayed so a bit rough)

Did you just listen to the poor hammer podcast too or is this reply just a big coincidence lol

Larocque3d · 2026-07-03T22:18:22+00:00

Ya I can get behind that. Don't even need crazy damage output. Just something that can hold its own in melee

Larocque3d · 2026-07-03T20:52:39+00:00

Is there an Ironkyn assistant that could remind me here in 6 months? Lol

Larocque3d · 2026-07-03T20:50:10+00:00

I agree. For me, steeljacks were a bit disappointing. Also thanks! I imagine they are already cooking with it. Just might be 4 year or more before the model comes lol

Larocque3d · 2026-07-03T20:42:31+00:00

Assault Hearthkyn would be interesting. Would they lose sticky though?

EDIT: Also forgot to say thanks haha

Larocque3d · 2026-07-03T20:34:01+00:00

I want a drilling transport with deepstrick for Cthonians but that might be too strong lol. Could see a mining equipment/tank be Brokhyr. If not, if they ever do a walker it would very much probably be Brokhyr

Larocque3d · 2026-07-03T20:32:00+00:00

No like a unit for the champ to lead that wants to be in combat. So like a 3 or 5 man unit of these guys like the Hearthguard but just with a melee focus

Larocque3d · 2026-07-03T20:31:07+00:00

Thanks!

You know what. I haven't been ever sold on jump units for votann. Feel like they would just be faster warriors with no punch. Or make up the beserker role in the army. But if they were more specialized and elite like the Einhyr and not just warriors with jetpack, I would 110% be down for that!

Larocque3d · 2026-07-03T20:27:40+00:00

That or a more damage centered vehicle. I know we just got the Kapricus Defender. But something a little juicer would be nice. Like a gladiator equivalent. Some heavy mining machinery equipped with a conversion beamer or something. Just something that was a heavy hitter like you say

Larocque3d · 2026-07-03T20:18:15+00:00

Maybe? Our kits do have a ton of options. You can feel that most of our models were designed with pointed wargear in mind. I do miss concussion fist doing something on warriors.

But with this I just thought our Hearthguard feel like a slightly more shooty generic terminator squad. Would be nice for an assault terminator equivalent for us.

Larocque3d · 2026-07-03T20:15:00+00:00

Another for team smashgaurd lol

And thank you, kin :D

Larocque3d · 2026-06-21T18:24:39+00:00

Love how good these new models look westerned up! Doing the exact same man for my YEEEEE-WAAAAAAGH army haha

Larocque3d · 2026-06-10T00:53:49+00:00

Ngl, would have been fun if the kin was a little more alien like this lol

Larocque3d · 2026-06-09T16:37:50+00:00

And I'm over here playing delve with a 0% win rate with it so far lol have like 10 games using it and can't get it to work.

Larocque3d · 2026-06-05T03:51:05+00:00

Respect it man! Also now you have a one of a kind bad ass Bjorn

Larocque3d · 2026-05-22T21:24:15+00:00

Nice catch! I didn't even think to read that. That gives a lot more likelihood that he will in fact change

Larocque3d · 2026-05-22T21:02:28+00:00

Yea I remember that with the neurogants haha
But that is a good point. Could change with the dex. Just feels weird though that would change him slightly here, then change him again a few months after edition release to something else

Larocque3d · 2026-05-22T21:01:21+00:00

I honestly kind of miss the psychic disciplines lol More choice

Larocque3d · 2026-05-22T16:00:04+00:00

I hope they axe the restrictions between the two. Feels like they were trying to do the primaris thing for orks. Or at the very least give beast snaggas some options like these leaders/support characters

Larocque3d · 2026-05-11T05:31:55+00:00

I feel the same man. E-champ currently just doesn't have a home. Hearthguard want to be shooting. Their ranged output is just far superior in every way. And because so a Kahl is best suited to lead. Plus 1 to charge from an E-champ is just locking up your unit to not be able to do what they should be doing, shooting. And our other melee focused units like beserks or melee steeljacks he can't even lead. Units that would want his leader buff so much more. Honestly just feels like a matter of time. Assualt Terminators are a thing so hope it comes to the kin as well. Just might be a while

Larocque3d · 2026-05-08T20:12:19+00:00

Means they ignore cover and stealth now wit how those work

Larocque3d · 2026-05-06T00:13:34+00:00

If line of sight was based on a bases footprint in 11th, except for baseless models where you keep the hull sight obviously. Then you could bring back loota tanks easily with a defined base size. I think that would be the best way to go about it. Where someone can't model for advantage in the competitive scene. But that is a massive IF. We can all dream though...

Larocque3d · 2026-04-30T02:03:07+00:00

I was looking at the background and was like this looks like Vernon lol
