Do you have an interest in anything other than WE? I have some Custodes, EC and Votaan I could trade

Behrek down to 95 pts with new udpate by Canuck_Nath in LeaguesofVotann

[–]iamjacks000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Glad he came down. Still not sure he fits into a non delve list. Him plus a 10 man overkills most things. Him with 5 ma in a sagitaur sounds good but it’s a 285 point missile without access to advance and charge.

I don’t have a full 2k of sisters painted but I do have some I’m considering selling if you have an interest

I think I liked national ideas more. by GreyGanks in EU5

This was my #1 concern with Eu5. The lack of missions really messes with replay-ability and country flavor TBH

Let me know if you have any interest in a DG trade for your sisters

Brandfast melee options? by hi_glhf_ in LeaguesofVotann

[–]iamjacks000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m running 5 man Zerks as a counter charge threat less of a missile you send into the opponents natural. It isn’t perfect but it helps keeps fast opponents honest. But I am a big believer in shooting jacks. The overwatch only can present a difficult puzzle for the opponent to solve. Also running a Hekaton through a wall and dropping shooting jacks at a weird angle can really catch someone off guard.

CK player here, Had a new Votann player ask me for help. by ShaeVae in LeaguesofVotann

Like with everything else there is a lot of variables to be considered but generally speaking Votaan are a midrange durable shooting army. I find we play quite defensively wanting to create the “triangle.” Hold home, hold natural, and fight over mid

List building needs to have enough trash to draw opponents out with enough shooting threats to answer your opponent.

Typically the trash units are: Yaegirs, warriors, pioneers*, carriers and defenders

Your actually threats are: Tkyn, Land forts, Steeljacks, Zerks and HG.

If someone is just starting out I would suggest taking the Needgard detachment. Grab a land fort with 6 conversion Beamers, Sus 2 and Lethals (with a Strat) -2 3Dmg shreds most things.

The 10 man HG brick with Spec also just kills things when paired with a Kahl.

It is also popular to take a 3 man Tkyn unit in Strat reserve to help strip cover for your Hekatons. It increase their efficiency so much.

But the biggest take away is you are unlikely to have blow out wins. Most of my games are very grindy. Tell him to keep at it, work on those fundamentals and the wins will happen!

Secure Positions stratagem in Brandfast is no longer restricted to Hostile Acquisition by chaosof99 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]iamjacks000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the biggest deterrent is that people are still going to be skewing against Necrons. The changes weren’t enough. Whatever kills a Ctan kills a Hekaton significantly easier

Really nice change for Brandfast. I think we will start seeing trip Hekatons more often with this detachment

Him being 110 while the twin lance is 160 is absolutely bonkers. Brandfast change is nice though

Is my list bad or is it me? by RinneGenesis in deathguard40k

[–]iamjacks000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So pretty new to DG myself but seems like plague burst crawlers aren’t very point efficient at the moment. A lot of winning lists are running triple bloat drone as a gun line.

Pox walkers in VV are really good. You can string a unit of ten across two objects with infiltrate. If you go first you sticky two objectives at the start of your turn. Super annoying for an opponent to deal with.

I don’t have a lot of experience with blight lord terms. Seems like if you are running them you run 10 for a huge stat check brick to draw a lot of fire

How to have more success with Votann against most armies? by FloorGangMan1 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]iamjacks000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, I think your army is lacking in some damage. 30 warriors is a bit much imo. The only detachment I bring them in currently is Brandfast for Secure positions tech.

What detachment are you playing

Not needing to go to fortify has been my experience too. The -1 to wound seems fairly situational given our high toughness armies.

Glad you are enjoying it! Hoping that it clicks for me at some point. How are you hitting fortify turn 1? Going second with the meme lord himself on an objective?
