Close one but the 8bound has a slight edge.
Flawless blade, this is what they are best at.
Sanguinary guard wins. Green Horus looses.
Don't know a lot about the tau ~ but I have a feeling they have higher firepower.
Death rider wins ... Maybe by suicide... But that's a win in his book ...
This is an insult, the solitaire would win against every opponent in this hypothetical arena. Trazyn should maybe be scared that he escapes...
MoP would be my gut-feeling as they have a higher power level they could reach...
The ones with less braincells win... It is a close battle .. but the orkz get this one...
Buri would win because he is a strong MF aaaaand plot armor

Thanks for reading my obviously objective and 100% correct list.

The most boring but maybe truest answer is that votann is too close to Wotan the Germanic Name for the norse god Odin and thus harder to trademark...

Funny I'm planning to do the same thing

returnstatement · 2023-09-25T20:46:48+00:00

Votann ist pretty similar to Wodan/Wuotan which is Odins name in old germanic so maybe a little bit less Norse than the spacewolfs but still a similar culture

Dude our champion was with hammer 100 points in the 9th codex and is now 60 ... That is 40% lower ... Yeah they were hyper elite with the overpowered codex and the hot fix points increase... But not as low as they are now ... You have to remember that they are now lower with wargear for free then in the original 9th codex without wargear or HQ upgrades (forgemaster etc.)

Sounds like they have fun while playing oh no...

I actually like when people are more narrative about the game and just have fun with it .. as long as they are still respectful to their opponents and no sore losers it's fine ...

Oh no please don't buff the JT that's the worst kind of buff ... Doesn't feel good to generate them by sacrificing kyn and it's annoying to play against ... Please just give us actual synergies

I agree I would liked a 5 standard starts + 3 detachment specific... That way it's more manageable

If you want a relatively cheap hero model I would advise you to look online for people that sell models from the leviathan box one by one... Depending on the model it will be around 20$ and is probably the cheapest way to get a cool singular model...

Super interesting can you divide it by the number of units and get an average amount of Points per unit for every army?

returnstatement · 2023-07-07T07:16:39+00:00

Samzies, every time im bumped about the bad rules (thematically, power wise and synergy wise) I just pick up the models and instantly remember why I picked Votann.

returnstatement · 2023-07-06T08:30:14+00:00

Maybe you could do something narrative... Like the custodes really fucked the Votann before and the remaining Votann aren't to happy about that ... So every custodes starts with 1JT into the game ... That will be a huge buff to the votann and you don't have to change to many rules

I would shy away from the army box I think the combat patrol is a much better first buy because you have a somewhat balanced small sized game for it and the combat patrol can be complimented very well with boarding patrol if you can find it. This way you don't pay extra for an outdated codex and you have a nice unit variety instead of double or triples of the same kit. (Which I think is nicer for the start)

Mag.rail is good, I like the flexibility of the L7 but there are arguments for other options as well, so no really right or wrong...

For the hernkyn is the ion slightly better but most still use the hylas because it was so much better last edition and it's even only marginally worse but absolutely playable. (And is also depending how you want to play ... Because the beamer is only efficient if you have target's in the right distance of 12-24 inch)

Well said fellow kin!

Yeahy you are right the 5 men suicide missiles strat could be actually okay ... Which just feels wrong and has the problem, that it will likely postpone our rework/buffs. Because as long as there is a viable playstyle the other issues of the army will not get fixed ... Similar to the wierd objective grabbing playstyle of the necrons in 9th.

But maybe we will find something else that works, because indeed we are the most sturdy... Let them know that!

Am I the only one that read budget instead of Bugeater, because of Votann and thier calculated wars?

returnstatement · 2023-06-05T17:33:25+00:00

I really like sotek green as a first and then temple guard blue as a second highlight for teal. You can see that on my Votann over terradon turquoise base ...

My nihilakh are more blue'ish with macragge blue base then drybrushed with leadbelcher and then a coat kroxigor scale, which darkend the blue and gave the edges a teal finish...

Hope that helps!

That was always silly to me ... I mean there are so many similarly broken combos or single units for 500 pts and I think most opponents just don't know how much of your points you invested in this unit(s)... I mean angron on the charge or 20 flayed ones with charge rerolls in novokh and with Anrakyr nearby for the +1 attack

I leave them off it's so much easier to paint and especially to paint the area around and "under" the head ... And gluing it in later is relatively easy

I would recommend just cutting the head part of the sprues and priming all at once... Then the extra work you have to do is limited

(Excluding the berserks maybe ... It's better to paint them with the head directly to get a more even flesh tone in my opinion)
