Leagues of Votann are going to wreck your face.
Leagues of Votann are right here and we’re getting an opportunity to have a look at the e book. And… oh buddy! This is a robust e book. In truth, I’d go as far as to say it’s damaged. This is a codex poised to take over the meta, even with a comparatively small variety of items. Let’s check out why.
Judgement Time
Let’s speak about Judgment of the Ancestors. Seriously this seems to be like probably the most highly effective army-wide guidelines I’ve ever seen. I imply having the ability to make successfully your entire military auto wound on a 4+ to hit is… insane! It’s not even that arduous to offer your enemies tokens. If the enemy is taking part in the sport in any respect, killing items, taking actions or holding targets, they’re getting tokens. Pretty a lot the one manner enemy items aren’t getting tokens is that if they’re dropping so badly they’ll’t have an effect on the result.
Oh however wait. Even if that was the case, then your Kahls can nonetheless give out tokens. And you may give them out to any enemy in LoS. Madness. Sure you doubtless received’t have a ton of Kahls. But you may nonetheless push it giving like 5 items tokens a flip, on prime of the whole lot else. The easy truth is, it’s too simple at hand out Judgement Tokens proper now.
Then There’s the Combos
Of course the rule doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Judgment of the Ancestors has bought sturdy combos. With Ancestral Judgement, one other army-wide rule, you robotically get to depend as having an additional token. So now you solely should get two tokens onto the enemy to get the complete 4+ auto wound (heck only a 5+ auto wound is tremendous spicy).
Heck for a CP you need to use a Kahl to simply give an enemy unit 2 tokens, which to your military now counts as three. That’s a 4+ auto wound on successfully any unit in LoS to a Kahl. With the choice to offer out tokens, and many methods for enemies to get tokens you’ll be benefiting from them a ton. Sure, you doubtless can’t give the entire enemy military two tokens. But you may give key items two (which depend as 3 for you). All this implies if you must focus fireplace a bit, one thing you already wish to do – your military can successfully skip rolling to-wound. This is fairly loopy!

Hey let’s not neglect that Judgment of the Ancestors isn’t the one highly effective army-wide rule they’ve. Void Armour can also be an excellent sturdy rule. This outshines Armour of Contempt even. While it has one comparable half, it one-ups the Marine rule by additionally stopping your enemy from re-rolling wounds and harm rolls. And once more, this can be a rule the entire military will get. This is simply one other tremendous sturdy rule, serving to to make the entire military extra survivable.
At Least It Won’t Be For Long
That’s simply two fundamental guidelines, and so they alone appear to make this military completely overpowered. These are completely bonkers guidelines. Combined with some actually sturdy items and much more nice guidelines it will make Leagues of Votann an actual terror on the tabletop. I battle to consider a military that had such an clearly highly effective set of army-wide guidelines. The key right here is that it removes a ton of randomness for you. Your weapons and harm output are going to be tremendous dependable.
On the opposite hand, your enemies are going to be much less so, with out getting as many re-rolls. I assume the one comfort is that they doubtless received’t be this good for lengthy. GW is just about going to should take some motion to rein them in. So get in these victories whilst you can!
