What are the best units in the Leagues of Votann?\u00a0Which are the ones that are going to give the most cane at the gaming tables?\u00a0Why are they more decisive compared to others?\u00a0It is true that there are not many, but among all of them there are some that stand out much more.\n\n\n

<\/span>The best leagues of votann units<\/span><\/h2>\n\nThey have barely been released and many players are already theorizing about their potential. Those who have used alternatives have demonstrated the full power of these space dwarves, and in our miniature painting service<\/a> we have already proven it with the latest orders.\n\nMeet the best units of the Votann Leagues<\/strong>\u00a0whether you are going to collect them or if you are going to face them.\n\n\n

<\/span>Hearthkyn Warriors<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
\"hearthkyn<\/figure>\n\nThe only Line Troops option, so you're always going to see a minimum of these on any army list.\u00a0Heartkyn Warriors are the backbone of any Leagues of Votann army<\/strong>\u00a0, offering fire support and making sure the objective markers are theirs.\n\nTo do this they have the Assured Target trait.\u00a0Its basic ranged weapons are more than decent,\u00a0being able to include a more than obligatory Magna-rail rifle to give the unit versatility<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0If you add the option of adding a doctor that allows you to ignore the first damage taken, they become a very reliable troop to gain victory points.\n\nThey combine very well with the Eye of the Ancients rule<\/strong>\u00a0, since even though their weapons do not have a great penetration factor, they do provide a lot of shot saturation.\u00a0Their only weakness is that they don't have great armor, so low FP burst shots do a lot of damage to them as well.\n\n\n

<\/span>Chthonian Beserkers<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
\"Chthonian<\/figure>\n\nAnother of the best units in the Leagues of Votann are the Chthonian Beserkers.\u00a0These peculiar mining dwarves are quite aesthetically different from other miniatures, reminding us of the classic dwarf matadors.\u00a0And, as you can imagine, their purpose is similar: load and paste, even dead<\/strong>\u00a0.\n\nThey have options for multi-wound weapons as well as combat saturation, depending on what you are going to do with them.\u00a0In any case,\u00a0they have a stratagem that allows them to repeat to hit<\/strong>\u00a0, and if you do the Kronus beams they become real meat grinders.\n\nThey don't have great armor, but they do ignore wounds on 5+.\u00a0But you have a chance to make them Ymir's league, as it grants them an invulnerable saving throw.\u00a0Despite this, they\u00a0can still hit if they die before fighting<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0So you can throw them at the hardest thing that the rival has, which is going to crunch it no matter what.\n\n\n

<\/span>Hernkyn Pioneers<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
\"Hernkyn<\/figure>\n\nIn general, Votann units do not stand out for their movement.\u00a0The Hernkyn Pioneers quickly make up for this, plus the odd gimmick that enhances it.\u00a0And, as if that weren't enough,\u00a0they also have an objective lock<\/strong>\u00a0, being another of those key units focused on the control of objective markers.\n\nThey're fairly cheap, make good saturation shots to pair with Eye of the Ancients, and have fly, ensuring great mobility across the battlefield.\u00a0Added to their previous exploration movement,\u00a0you will be able to place them wherever you want and stalk all of your opponent's units<\/strong>\u00a0.\n\nIt is true that they falter in melee, and that the size of their bases does not help to hide them well.\u00a0In any case, it is an easy way to make that,\u00a0with his death, some of the opponent's units remain marked with the tokens<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0A couple of Hernkyn Pioneers units you will always see on almost any list.\n\n\n

<\/span>Sagittarius<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
\"sagittarius\"<\/figure>\n\nThe second Quick Attack option in\u00a0the Leagues of Votann army book\u00a0is the Sagitaur transport.\u00a0Agile and well-equipped, it's not particularly durable, but it's\u00a0used by many players to transport and protect some of their most valuable units<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0For example, the Chthonian Beserkers.\n\nHis shot is average, highlighting the main weapon more focused on being a support anti-tank.\u00a0Now,\u00a0what is most interesting is that the Sagitaur can go in units of two<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0With a limited transport capacity of 5 models per model, it has a rule that forces larger units to split up if they want to start the battle on board.\n\nThe idea is to use it\u00a0to split the mandatory minimum units of 10 Heartkyn Warriors, or a large unit of 10 Chthonian Beserkers can split in two<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Embarking or not depending on the opponent gives you a little more versatility in the lists, being one of the best units in the Votann Leagues to be able to adapt to the opponent.\n\n\n

<\/span>Hekaton Land Fortress<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
\"Hekaton<\/figure>\n\nOther Votann Leagues transportation and vehicle available.\u00a0The Hekaton Land Fortress is a mobile stronghold, packed with high-quality weaponry and potentially the centerpiece of many armies.\u00a0He has a lot of 2 damage shots, which added to his main weaponry, will take full advantage of using the Eye of the Ancients rule<\/strong>\u00a0.\n\nThe heavy magna-rail cannon stands out, with a single shot but with a scary profile:\u00a0strength 14, FP -4 and Damage 2D3+6<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Being magna-rail, if a 6 is rolled to wound, the damage is dealt.\u00a0A great synergy that it has to give it versatility is\u00a0to get that 6 directly with Uthar the Destined<\/strong>\u00a0, depending on whether you're shooting something big or a herd.\n\nIt is quite robust, with a large amount of wounds, very good resistance and armor saves.\u00a0But, also,\u00a0if you play certain leagues, you can raise the resistance to 9 and even have a 4+ invulnerable save<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Due to its combination of attack and defense, it is one of the best units in the Votann Leagues.\n\n\n

<\/span>Einhyr Champion<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
\"Einhyr<\/figure>\n\nWhen you see this armored dwarf running towards your front line, don't laugh.\u00a0Champion Einhyr could be considered one of the toughest characters in the game<\/strong>\u00a0, with enviable stamina and insane melee punch.\u00a0And it is that despite not giving many synergies to other units, one of them ensures that you will burst anything from the opponent.\n\nThe Einhyr Champion has\u00a0toughness 5, wounds 5, save 2+\/4+, -1 to damage, and -1 to melee wounds<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0The massive hammer it carries ensures you do 1D3+3 damage to anything it hooks at close range.\u00a0And if you already make it from the Kronus Hegemony subfaction, plus the Warlord trait and massive relic hammer that can deal fatalities, there's nothing stopping it.\n\nPerhaps his movement can allow the opponent to dodge his charge distances, especially if you don't put him on a transport.\u00a0But nothing is further from the truth:\u00a0with the accelerated keyword you gain access to a stratagem that allows you to add 12\u201d to your movement<\/strong>\u00a0From him.\u00a0There will be nothing that can get away from him if you have command points.\n\n\n

<\/span>Uthar the Fate<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n
\"Uthar<\/figure>\n\nLastly, the only named character is another of the best units in the Leagues of Votann.\u00a0Uthar the Fate is expensive in points, plus he forces you to play a certain faction, but he's worth it for everything he does.\u00a0Because, as the Great Kh\u00e2l that he is, he brings rerolls to most units around him<\/strong>\u00a0.\n\nIt does not hit anything bad in combat, in addition to having a good defensive profile.\u00a0Now, you are going to want it to go putting trial markers left and right.\u00a0Thanks to its own rule and a warlord trait, you will be able to put two each turn<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0This makes him a fantastic support character for a good bunch of Leagues of Votann units.\n\nBut the other ability that Uthar the Fate likes so much is his Ancient Fortune.\u00a0Allows a unit within 6\" to change, once per turn, a roll result to an automatic 6<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0This means, for example, that a Magna-rail weapon will always be able to split the damage it deals.\n\n\n

<\/span>Leagues of Votann TOP Units Summary<\/span><\/h2>\n\nIn short, the best units in the Votann Leagues offer a very good profile, coupled with\u00a0a set of rules that makes them almost mandatory options in any list<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0This does not mean that the other units are worse, but these will be seen a lot more in competitive and less in casual games.\n\n\n

They have barely come out and many players are already theorizing about their potential. Those who have used alternatives have shown the full power of these space dwarves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet the best units of the Votann Leagues<\/strong> whether you are going to collect them or if you are going to face them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"hearthkyn<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

His shot is average, highlighting the main weapon more focused on being a support anti-tank. Now, what is most interesting is that the Sagitaur can go in units of two<\/strong> . With a limited transport capacity of 5 models per model, it has a rule that forces larger units to split up if they want to start the battle on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea is to use it to split the mandatory minimum units of 10 Heartkyn Warriors, or a large unit of 10 Chthonian Beserkers can split in two<\/strong> . Embarking or not depending on the opponent gives you a little more versatility in the lists, being one of the best units in the Votann Leagues to be able to adapt to the opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hekaton<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Other Votann Leagues transportation and vehicle available. The Hekaton Land Fortress is a mobile stronghold, packed with high-quality weaponry and potentially the centerpiece of many armies. He has a lot of 2 damage shots, which added to his main weaponry, will take full advantage of using the Eye of the Ancients rule<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heavy magna-rail cannon stands out, with a single shot but with a scary profile: strength 14, FP -4 and Damage 2D3+6<\/strong> . Being magna-rail, if a 6 is rolled to wound, the damage is dealt. A great synergy that it has to give it versatility is to get that 6 directly with Uthar the Destined<\/strong> , depending on whether you're shooting something big or a herd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is quite robust, with a large amount of wounds, very good resistance and armor saves. But, also, if you play certain leagues, you can raise the resistance to 9 and even have a 4+ invulnerable save<\/strong> . Due to its combination of attack and defense, it is one of the best units in the Votann Leagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Einhyr Champion has toughness 5, wounds 5, save 2+\/4+, -1 to damage, and -1 to melee wounds<\/strong> . The massive hammer it carries ensures you do 1D3+3 damage to anything it hooks at close range. And if you already make it from the Kronus Hegemony subfaction, plus the Warlord trait and massive relic hammer that can deal fatalities, there's nothing stopping it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps his movement can allow the opponent to dodge his charge distances, especially if you don't put him on a transport. But nothing is further from the truth: with the accelerated keyword you gain access to a stratagem that allows you to add 12\u201d to your movement<\/strong> From him. There will be nothing that can get away from him if you have command points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It does not hit anything bad in combat, in addition to having a good defensive profile. Now, you are going to want it to go putting trial markers left and right. Thanks to its own rule and a warlord trait, you will be able to put two each turn<\/strong> . This makes him a fantastic support character for a good bunch of Leagues of Votann units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the other ability that Uthar the Fate likes so much is his Ancient Fortune. Allows a unit within 6\" to change, once per turn, a roll result to an automatic 6<\/strong> . This means, for example, that a Magna-rail weapon will always be able to split the damage it deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
