So you’ve been taking a look at beginning a Leagues of Votann military and need a Combat Patrol field — however the place do you go from there?

Earlier this week Games Workshop introduced that the Leagues of Votann are heading to Pre-order this weekend. We already did a breakdown of the Combat Patrol field however the place do you construct out from there? That’s what we’re going to speak about in the present day. And if you wish to comply with together with the factors or plan your personal military then you can begin right here.

In typical style we’re go shoot for 2000 level military listing for the Leagues of Votann. We’ll depart a bit of additional wiggle room for among the wargear as properly. Now to kick issues off we’re going to start out with that Combat Patrol field that’s on the best way.

Leagues of Votann Combat Patrol Box

• Ûthar the Destined – 160 factors
• 10x Hearthkyn Warriors – 120 factors + wargear
• 3x Hernkyn Pioneers – 105 factors + wargear
• 5x Cthonian Beserks – 150 factors + wargear

Total: 535 + wargear

Right off the bat we’ve obtained a stable core and a bit greater than 1 / 4 of the factors spoken for. The first main query we have now to ask is that if this field is price selecting up a second one. I lean in the direction of “yes” for 2 causes. 1) you’ll get a second mannequin which you could construct right into a Kâhl (which you’ll completely need) and a couple of) you’ll now have the choice to run maxed-size squads of the opposite items within the boxed set.

• Kâhl 80 factors + wargear
• 10x Hearthkyn Warriors – 120 factors + wargear
• 3x Hernkyn Pioneers – 105 factors + wargear
• 5x Cthonian Beserks – 150 factors + wargear

Total: 455 + wargear

With this second field that places us proper at 990 + wargear. We’re already midway performed with our 2k listing! But now we’ve obtained a glorious core to construct out from. We’ve obtained a variety of Troop our bodies from the Hearthkyn, we’ve obtained some sooner components with the Pioneers, and we’ve obtained a loopy melee unit with the Beserks. Oh and we’ve obtained two HQ choices.

There’s yet one more factor we have to snag and that’s one other unit of Troops — sadly we solely have one choices in order that’s one other 120 factors + warger for a 3rd unit of Hearthkyn Warriors. Now we have to add some enjoyable taste to this military.

Yep. We’re going straight to the battlewagon that’s the Hekaton Land Fortress. It’s 300 factors + wargear nevertheless it lets you transport your items round. Good factor you’ve obtained an apparent payload of Beserks that want a carry. We’re mainly 3/4 of the best way performed on factors now, too with our new whole as much as 1410 + wargear. What so as to add subsequent?

I believe you’ve obtained choices as we are able to go together with the specialised choices now. Einhyr Hearthguard or Thunderkyn are each stable choices and which ever you select will assist outline your military transferring ahead. I believe that the military can actually department a few methods from this level. Do you double down on the Hearthguard? Then perhaps you choose up an Einhyr Champ to roll with them. Or do you go together with the Thunderkyn through which case you fit in an Iron-master.

You might additionally choose to skip the character and simply go for extra fashions with the items. Whichever you select, I do suppose having a Grimnyr round for some psychic powers is a good suggestion. You’re going to need to have the ability to not less than play in that section of the sport.

I believe it is a actually robust name and truthfully, I’m unsure how I’d wish to actually mix-max every part at this level. Without having seen any actual video games or match knowledge on the military we’re all entering into based mostly on the Dataslates right here. That stated, if we’re beginning a brand new military I’d wish to maintain my choices open. I additionally am not the kind of one that solely collects the “power units” and that’s it. So, if this was my military, I’d cut up the distinction and get one unit of every the Hearthguard (225 factors + wargear) and Thunderkyn (120 factors + wargear). And so far as character assist I’d go together with the Grminyr (90 factors).

This brings our whole to 1845 factors + wargear. I believe that is the extra properly rounded model and provide the probability to really use these items earlier than you determine to play with different choices. Or earlier than you choose to comply with a selected playstyle for the military. You can all the time go all-in with the opposite path later.

Even inside this construct you’ve obtained choices on the way you wish to divvy stuff up relying on what detachments you need. You may mix squads as wanted in case you have slot restrictions you must meet. Whatever you select I believe it is a good begin for a Leagues of Votann Army and provides you plenty of methods to develop your assortment as you get extra expertise with a model new military. If you discover a specific unit works or playstyle matches, I’d encourage you to lean into that. Play what you want and what you take pleasure in doing — don’t play one thing you don’t take pleasure in as that’s a certain hearth means get burned out.
