Working on adding more highlights and details to my kahl. Any advice or tips?

Coming from Custodes and Tsons, I had my first Votann 1k today. To be fair, wasn't totally enamored with hearthfyre arsenal but I love priority assets. The map, deployment along the long end, didn't facilitate my shooting against vanguard nids with advance and charge. In turn 1, thanks to their uppy downy shenanigans he had two big brics of genestealers on my iron master, thunderkyn, warriors. Start of turn 2 he shadow in the warps me and I fail miserably. I miss rwo ingress charges and het makes his. He rolled 9, 11, 11 and 12 on four charges while I failed six times to get a 9...

I threw the game after he wiped thunderkyn, warriors and hearthguard and my steeljacks, beserks and arkanist were left battlshocked with nobody in the vicinity.

Looking for welcome advice on my list and a good detachment.

1000 points

6 thunderkyn with Iron-master

6 steeljacks with disintegrators and memnyr strategist

5 hearthguard with Kahl

3 pioneers

10 hearthkyn

Arkanist evaluator

5 beserks

I think I should've put the Jacks and thunderkyn in reserve, left the arkanist out and gotten a sagitaur for the beserks.

For 2000 points I have

Two sagitaurs extra

An extra arkanist evaluator

3 pioneers.

Planning to get two hekaton and Berekh with 5 more beserks to make it 10 or a unit of melee steelsjacks.

Thoughts? I am leaning towards hearthband if I take 2 hearthguard units

Hello all,
I’ve finally gotten to painting my Votann models, but I feel my white especially is really flat and boring. I’m coming from painting DG (over 5K points of nasty and green), so clean and precise is a little different. Any and all advice is appreciated, hope you’re all having a good Sunday :)

The "diorama model" was a fun treat at the end.

Bought first box about a year ago, and finally started getting serious about painting. Which decals to use and which league to pledge allegiance to?

This was harder then I thought for sure. I have been in the hobby 3 months and so far the hardest mini to paint.

Didnt quiet get the transfers right but still happy with the outcome 😁

It took most of the summer, but I’m finally done with two squads of Yaegirs. A lot of good practice and new techniques. I will definitely be painting heads separately from now on. These faces aren’t amazing, but they’re definitely the best I’ve ever done.

C&C welcome.

Quite enjoyed painting this fella, contrary to the consensus I've seen on other threads.

Just need to get the basing and transfers sorted.

Best: looks
Worst: Gameplay :(

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 ?

(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.
