After almost a year of playing Kill Team I have decided to finally dip my toes into Warhammer proper and build an army based on my favorite KT (the Yaegirs) - Votann!

To that end, I’m hoping to start with a 1K army and play some casual matches while I learn and get my butt kicked a bunch. I’m also hoping that, since I already have my Yaegirs painted and themed - and would like my Votann army to be around that same theme too (gold, white, black touches, kroxigor scale blue, etc…), I wanted to incorporate my Yaegirs into that list.

With all that in mind, this is my very first attempt at a list. I would love any and all recommendations, criticism, and advice, I have no ego in this and have no idea what I’m doing. If anything your advice will help me not spend my money foolishly if I invest in the wrong stuff. With that in mind, my goal was to try not to buy a single vehicle centerpiece (the Land Raider, which I would get if I went to 2k points but at 1K think it’s too much) that would be an easy target and instead give me some more models with more toys to play with and, most importantly to me, this list at least on paper feels defensive and reactive, which is how I like to play the Yaegirs in Kill Team. But I’m willing and happy to learn if I’m wrong and need to pivot.

I believe this clocks in right at 995 points.

For as much as I’m not a huge fan of the Word Bearers, I absolutely LOVE the Gal Vorbak. So when I got my hands on Murderwing I already knew what I wanted them to be.

The goal was to make them look rusty, old, and imbued with Warp Fire. I’m still in my first year of painting and I know I have a long ways to go, but I’m extremely happy with how they turned out, especially with all the magnetization (my Chaos Lord has every loadout, my Champion has a power weapon he can swap to, and my Sky Seer has a plasma rifle too).

After hitting a wall painting my Celestian Insidiants (I’ll get to them… some day…) and taking like 2ish months off painting altogether, it felt good to finish a project again. I hope you enjoy!
