LEAGUES OF VOTANN - Not Bad, Good Size | 40k Codex Review

Website/links: https://ttpfieldmanual.captivate.fm

Joshy and Jonny talk Leagues of Votann, delving deep into the potential yields of this codex.

The Leagues of Votann are a relatively recent addition to the Warhammer 40,000 modern tabletop era. A sci-fi equivalent of fantasy dwarves, the Kin are based in the mineral-rich galactic core. They play semi-elite, with a wide set of tools to help control objectives across the battlefield.

From atomic-age influenced Hearthkyn Warriors to the strange and unusual technologies of Brokhyr's and the Science Guild, we cover all datasheets and detachments at length. As well, we offer our own personal lists were we start an army today.

How do you enjoy the Leagues of Votann?

TTP Field Manual is brought to you by Joshy and Jonny, best friends and gaming enthusiasts from their local group, Trust the Process Hobbies. Die-hard fans of tabletop gaming, we use this podcast as a platform to share our passionate (and somewhat humorous) ramblings in and around the hobby (though we cannot shut up about Warhammer).

By day, Joshy is a therapist; by night, he's an RPG aficionado who grew up on (not-so) Final Fantasies and crafting his own Dungeons & Dragons worlds. Jonny, a technician, spends his downtime conquering more video games than Joshy can keep track of.

Josh loves sci-fantasy, and so is quite at home with Warhammer! He plays Necrons, Adepta Sororitas, and Aeldari. His playstyle is reserved and cagey, preferring to outmaneuver his opponents before delivering the killing blow. His painting approach is a blend of fast painting styles and technical effects. He's the resident lore expert and wishes he could apply his encyclopaedic brain to other areas of life.

Jonny is a big fan of magic in his games and putting together vicious combos. He's the de facto Champion of Chaos when it comes to Warhammer, playing Chaos Knights, Thousand Sons, and Chaos Space Marines. He loves synergistic army lists and is always putting together new ideas. His painting approach is classic 'Eavy Metal.
