Maritn Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I'll have my first game Vs Votann soon and haven't played for quite some time. Anything I should watch out for? What are their weaknesses? From looking at a... ehm... digital Codex it looks like they don't have much close combat units and focus on shooting. Also, a lot of their units seem to be ignoring cover, and the rest invulnerable saves... So which vow to pick? Is always -1 AP in close combat the best one?

BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 They are weak in melee overall so that’s how you beat them. Use terrain to hide your units from their firepower and focus on killing their jet bike units.

Maritn Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 Is a big block of 20 crusaders buffed by transhuman physiology and 5+++ a good idea, or is their shooting too good for a unit that is hard to hide? We're playing on a table similar to the GW layouts. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/06/29/metawatch-warhammer-40000-building-beautiful-balanced-battlefields-for-grand-tournament-play/?utm_source=CUSTOMERS&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=GW_27th_August_Metawatch_GER_&utm_content=&utm_term=&m_i=mIE4pLaQnvnS04CkxIvZ2lgAJL8V%2BLfIy4LrGGff8%2Bi7v04CK7l4WhkibRf6pdcT_OksZVOaDOjl%2BMxRLLtD4J4EFjylYnymm0 Also, how viable is a foot slogging army? I have no Vanguard Vets, my only mobile units are outriders and Bolter Inceptors. I could teleport in Termies with 2+ charge litany, but they can be screened.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I think the 20 man blob can work if they are buffed as you describe. The GW layout provides lots of line of sight blocking terrain.

Medjugorje Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 pcs is too slow and therefore exactly the unit what LoV WANT to play against. You need FAST units which can moveblock. Land Speeders, Impulsors with cheap units inside and you need Infiltrators against his bikes.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) 20 man PCS fully buffed with take most of there shooting to drop which allows other units to get into position.

Maritn Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 Thanks for you replies. I actually played the 20 man PCS this weekend and it went really well. He made a mistake and did not screen his Land Fortress, so I was able to knock it out in CC with the PCS and 5 Hammernators turn 2 (also I was lucky for having second turn, so he had to move first). The PCS survived the attack of the 2*5 Beserkers and killed 7 of them (interrupting).
