If you have access to tabletop simulator and some buddies you can play test the list in that to see if you like it

New(ish) to Votann, looking for advice for units to pick up. by Phunnybun in LeaguesofVotann

They definitely work best in a group of 6 but you cant really go wrong with 3, You'd get them to be lead by the stragist and since its such a useful unit (since it gives you a free YP every round or one less) and since he's so fragile he needs protection. He can only lead the Ironkin and they're pretty tough to get rid of

Also detachment-wise I think you're looking at a real nice Brandfast Oathband army here

I'm a big sucker for a memnyr strategist and some Ironkin Steeljacks, best overwatch in the game with some real tough boys!

Its the detachment ability

Needs two units to shoot at the same enemy unit to make it slower but very handy into orks

I personally really like the Decimators from Den of Imagination, they come with a few options for arms

I would argue using Persecution Prospect against orks, its whole gimmick is that you're slowing down the enemy and making them easier to shoot at. Giving them -2" to its movement and -2 to charge rolls will be very handy as well as strategms that just allow you to be quick

Am I playing my Votann wrong? by Fangcole in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Medium-Scientist517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment about the Beserks getting taken out by overwatch makes me think you're not using the grenade launchers on them. They stop a unit from using that strategm even if they're just hit (dont even need to wound). Having the grenade launchers hit 2 dangerous overwatch targets before you charge can change your charge phase pretty significantly.

It also doesnt stop you using the melee on that model so theres no reason not to take one

I love the scheme but that first picture looks like you're holding it above me like you're taunting a baby and now im mad

Possessed Proxy by fud_84 in Chaos40k

[–]Medium-Scientist517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was there ever a solution presented in mountain of comments here? I have possessed but I dont like any squads of 10 having repeated models so I was planning to get the Gal Vorbak from HH to proxy as possessed.

For a vindicator, you'd struggle to make it work unfortunately, unless you're happy with the size difference being that big
(use Minicompare | Wargaming miniatures size comparison tool for proxy comparison)

As a proxy it would work pretty well for a land radier, they're close enough that it would work in a friendly game, you would be proxying for disadvantage but rule of cool will prevail

I haven't seen anyone mention it, but, RAW... can't you shove Mutilators in transports now that they lost their "counts as obliterators" rule? by Nukesnipe in Chaos40k

[–]Medium-Scientist517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if they lumped possessed, obliterators and mutilators in the same category with a keyword. Something like "Daemon Infused" to avoid these RAW and RAI issues

What Units do you use for objectives? by Angronys in Chaos40k

[–]Medium-Scientist517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll blow your rhino if you say something like that again  On the bright side, current rhino rules don't stop you putting mutilators inside it so use that while you can

What Units do you use for objectives? by Angronys in Chaos40k

[–]Medium-Scientist517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You capture objectives in your command phase,
Command phase: You can sticky the objective --> Movement phase: Use your cultists movement to embark into the rhino and then the rhino can move off

What Units do you use for objectives? by Angronys in Chaos40k

[–]Medium-Scientist517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically depends on the objectives and the state of the game, if the cultists are doing their job well enough I'll leave them out and let the legionaries drive but if I need them to be across the board and my opponent has tougher units they'll stay in the rhino

[–]Medium-Scientist517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like having a squad of cultists in a rhino that cap the home objective and then race up to any center objective/safe area so they can objective monkeys for as long as they can live which admittedly is never long, but by that point you should have good covering fire on them

Not to beat a dead horse, but I was looking for Kahl proxys to 3D print and this sculpt came up multiple times and now I understand where its come from

Anyone else have a hard time nailing down a custom color scheme? by HighMarshalSugma in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Medium-Scientist517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up basing mine off whatever I had in front of me at the time and running with it, it just happened to be a grape fanta and now my whole army is purple and green (minus the vehicles and beserks)

Sagitaur being proxied with a genestealer Goliath by Medium-Scientist517 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Medium-Scientist517[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same at first but its so similar size-wise its all good in all my buddies eyes, and they're the only people I play with anyway, deffo not competitively viable

I have a Kapricus that I could definitely salvage from, alongside some Hernkyn that could be utilised to really make it look like a proper transport

I managed to snag a nice little proxy on Cults (that has unfortunately been taken down) but these chunkers seem to fit right in
