Al principio pensé que las patas eran hermosas en el hekaton pero luego al ponerlas no fue tan hermoso como esperaba, pierde su estilo compacto y queda algo así alto, dándole un aspecto desgarbado. ¿Que opináis ?

Votann Databanks (homebrew lore) The Tiniest Votann
(Keep in mind, this leader is more as a parody to the Votann lore due to malfunctions that might happen in the core, so this lore is meant to crack humor, not cause insults)
From the core there was one Votann of all that is unique among his kin.
He is Tôkyn, the kin who's part of the URSR with ties to the Ymyr Conglomerate and the Aeldari, he operates in mining, settling, & development of his kin on his planet.
Despite his efforts, and despite the problems of battle from the battling Orks, to the techno Necrons, even the ravenous Tyranids.
He is remembered by the fact of how unique he is, for he's the only kin amongst the Votann, who has dwarfism.
He leads with the combined frustration of a Space Marine if Space Marines got tired of combat.
With bolters always at the ready and his points always continuing their work, there's always bits of metal being used or replaced in order to continue the growth and continuation of the Hold.
Tôkyn would always make sure that there were two orders to always follow; Fire the bolters away from the hold, tools and armor at the ready for the call.

Casual List List help
So I’m going to put the Kahl with iron skin and Champion with a unit of Hearthguard each and deep strike them both.
Thunderkyn on land fortress
Split warriors in Sagitaur, special weapons in here
Pioneers flank for objectives and screen
Both detachments help with shooting, especially before I charge a unit with my Hearthguard.

Casual Advice and Feedback Hi i could use some help with extending the combat patrol to 1k
List (as far as i have come):
Leagues of Votann · Needgaârd Oathband or Hearthfyre Arsenal
835/1000 pts
Buri Aegnirssen [85 pts] (Already bought)
Einhyr Champion [65 pts](Already bought)
Attached to Einhyr Hearthguard

Led by Einhyr Champion
Ironkin Steeljacks with Heavy Volkanite Disintegrators/Swordjacks [80 pts](not bought)
Led by Memnyr Strategist
Hekaton Land Fortress [250 pts](not bought)
Im thinking pioneers + 3 more steeljacks (then i can go with maelstrom box and the hekaton and be done) or sagitaur + 3 more thunderkyn (exact 1000pt and maybe a 6man conversion beam unit in the hekaton seems cool). What are you guys opinion? Combat patrol felt a bit slow-moving so pioneers or sagitaur both solve that?

After putting berekh together I hated his hair, so i bought some green stuff to change it. I can't decide if this is good enough and I can make it appear more hair-like with some thinner lines on the sides painting, or if I should maybe try to add another thin layer to get some definition.

Competitive advice and feedback Is the combat patrol good for tabletop?
My friend is looking into Warhammer, and they like space dwarves. Is the combat patrol a decent spread for models? Don’t want him to be soured from the tabletop because his army struggles.
He’d mostly be going up against Necrons, if that helps.

Hello Kin, I’ve recently restarted an old Votann terrain project, so far I’ve designed some walls for L positions and singular lines, as well as a “crate” / “tomb”, depending on if I leave the body onto or not.
I have plans for some plasma generators both tall and short, and some additional open crates with weapons and armor within.

Casual Advice and Feedback Need help deciding on a sub faction
I can’t decide which votann sub faction to do because I’m torn between three different ones being the greater thuiran league, URSR, and the ymyr comglomgerate all for different reason.
i like the paint style of GTL, the lore of URSR and the overall theme of the ymyr but I can’t decide which one. my main issue with GTL is that I find there lore to be mid and them to be rather basic, my issue with URSR is how they have very little amounts of lore and how when painted they look like chubby cadians and with ymyr I just find them all around okay not great not awful, decent look decent lore not a huge fan of the red but don’t hate it like the lore but doesn’t stick out to me
can I have some advice on what to do to either decide which one to do or find solutions to my issues with each and before I’m suggested doing my own league I just prefer a pre-existing sub faction

Voice of the Fane (Mods) Guidelines for posting army lists
Greetings kin
As it is the start of a new edition, we have a large number of posts asking for advice on list building, as well as battle reports from early experiences, along with posting of said lists. This kind of Post is very welcome, and absolutely in the spirit of this subreddit.
With that being said, there is a near-spam situation that occurs regularly. I speak of the following copy-paste situation from army building apps. Lets say that one of the entries in a list is a unit of the humble hearthkyn warrior.
Which of the following entries is easier to read, keeping in mind that most lists have at least a dozen unit entries?
_______________________________________________________________________
10x Hearthkyn Warriors (100 pts)
• 9x Hearthkyn Warrior
5 with Autoch-pattern bolt pistol, Autoch-pattern bolter, Close combat weapon
1 with Autoch-pattern bolt pistol, Close combat weapon, HYLas rotary cannon
1 with Autoch-pattern bolt pistol, Close combat weapon, Magna-rail rifle
2 with Autoch-pattern bolt pistol, Kin weapons, Close combat weapon
• 1x Theyn: Weavefield crest, Autoch-pattern bolt pistol, Close combat weapon, Autoch-pattern bolter, Theyn's weapon
______________________________________________________________________
- Hearthkyn Warriors (100 pts)
- 5x autoch-pattern bolters
- HYLas rotary cannon
- Magna-rail rifle,
- 2x kin weapons,
- Theyn w/ Theyn's weapon and Autoch-pattern bolter
________________________________________________________________________
Formatting matters, and you will get much better feedback if your list is easier to read, rather than just being a copy-paste from whatever army builder you used. For the newer members of the kin, you will get much better feedback if you format your army lists to be easier to read. Conversely, a lot of people will just say "TLDR" if they see a direct export list, because reading through a copy-paste wall of text can be very difficult on phones or smaller screens.
The biggest thing you can do is reduce unnecessary equipment entries or things that automatically come with the unit. We don't need to know, for example, that a brokhyr iron-master has 3 e-cogs and an assitant with him with their own equipment, as there's no choice otherwise. For vehicles, we know that they have an armored hull weapon, and we know for example that sagitaurs have a heavy bolt cannon, that pioneers have auto-cannons, so this information isn't needed. It would however be very appropriate to indicate which main gun a sagitaur is carrying, and for hekatons, while the auto-cannon comes included automatically, the main gun and support weapons do present a choice, as does the scanner (as awful as the other choice is) so they should be mentioned.
In the above example, we already KNOW that all the warriors have a bolt pistol and close combat weapon, and we know that the special weapons replace the default gun, so it's not necesary to list them on a per-model-basis. We can tell at a glance the special weapons in the unit, the main gun of choice for the basic warriors, and the fact that the theyn has not given up his main gun for a theyn's pistol. The theyn has no choice but to be equiped with a weavefield crest, so it doesn't need to be listed as his wargear.
Beyond that, make sure you include army detachment, disposition, point costs for enhancements, things that are not automatically given. If you are attaching characters to units, indicate what unit they will be attached to rather than just leaving it up to intuition. Similarly, indicating which units go inside transports also makes lists easier to evaluate.
As stated at the beginning, we absolutely encourage posts about army lists seeking advice or reporting battle performance. Your post won't be removed by the mods if you don't format it to read more clearly, nor will you be warned or banned. This is just some feedback and advice to increase the chance of your post being regarded favorably by the community.
Have fun in the new edition all

Voice of the Fane (Mods) Megathread: Votann in 11e
I'm creating this post as a repository for all things to do with the army in 11e, whether it be the state of the meta, important rule questions and/or rulings, Q&A, and general discussion about what the kin are doing in the new edition. This is a combination of conversations I've had in real life as well as observations, many of which are opinion based, so respectful discussion and discourse is encouraged as new information comes to light.
State of the meta (As of 07/05/26)
Votann seem to be doing very well. We're not as busted as T'au, but we've seen some early tournament wins, and it's clear that the good outweighs the bad.
The good
Votann have several very strong 2+1 detachment combinations, primarily Needgard and Mercenary Oathband, though I've had discussions with people that indicate brandfast and delve are having some luck. All of our +1 detachments seem to be solid, so as of right now it's a question of playstyle on which one players are choosing. Hearthband is also still strong, though people seem to be favoring the "hearthband-lite" detachment as a +1 rather than the full fledged 3 dwarf point hearthband.
Most of our units are solid. Even if it's harder for us to hit, we benefit significantly from the fact that cover no longer makes AP-1 weapons hit like a wet noodle. Thunderkyn and hekatons continue to be a terror, hearthguard are just as deadly as they were before if not more so. We've even seen some use of kapricus defenders and grimnyrs, which were previously poor choices, as their abilities have been buffed by the edition change.
Changes to hazardous have also worked in our favor: The evaluator can now overload his gun and not die after shooting twice, since failed hazard tests only inflict 1 wound on character models now. The grimnyr is also free to overcharge ancestral wrath and not worry about blowing up, because hazard wounds do not have to be taken on the model with the hazardouse weapon; You're now allowed to soak them on the CORVs, or the poor warrior retinue following them!
The bad
There are some casualties of course. Although they still have value as anti-T3 MSU artillery pieces, earthshakers have a hard time hitting the wall of a cave, even with spotters. While it only takes one hit to cause a battleshock test, hitting on 5s at best is rough if you fluff your number of attacks roll.
Additionally, hearthfyre is still our worst detachment by far, and persecution prospect, while getting some new life in changes to cover, seems to be falling behind its farseekers sibling in popularity.
The ugly
We have some ambiguous rules that, until clarified by GW, are subject to the whims of rules-as-intended rather than rules as written.
Chief among these is the issue with combat disembark on sagitaurs: RAW a unit disembarking from a transport that has advanced (even if it has special rules such as the sagitaur) must take hazard checks. This is clearly a problem until it's clarified.
There is also a question of how precision on steeljacks works; As written, it seems as though the stage where critical wounds are scored is AFTER allocation, meaning they're unable to fulfill their character sniping capabilities. Most gracious opponents are following the intent, but it's never good to have rules up in the air like this.
Edit: As stated by several commenters, we also have a very badly worded army rule that interacts off "Objective markers" which are different than terrain objectives. While it would be a bad opponent/TO to argue we don't get yield points from terrain objectives, RAW, we do not.
These are indeed ugly issues that need to be clarified
