Urkh's league - They see me rollin'. We grudgin'

[Urkh]

Hello everyone! I am returning from a year of self banishment from posting on the forum due to my inexcusable failure to complete my vow at the last call to arms. Sadly, no progress has been made on eldar since I lost motivation after a few of them broke and the pieces that broke off vanished into the warp. However, over the year I've been collecting a new Leagues of Votann army! I've always been a fan of dwarves, and I've always been bigoted against elves, so it only seemed natural to pick these guys up. As I get them painted up, I will post on here their completions. As of now, I have an Einhyr Champion completed, so here you are!

So... Change of plans, my fellow kin. I have found a tournament that is being held on my birthday in a few months, and recently I've been itching towards getting out and dipping my toes into the competitive field. I've never played in a tournament before, and want to take Votann for my maiden voyage, as I'm looking to make this my main army. As such, I'm going to be focusing on getting the army to a battle ready painted standard, as the tournament requires that. Right now I'm laying down base coats of Averland Sunset while studying up on votann strategy and tournament play. I will show pictures of the army as I progress. Until then, enjoy half a squad of hearthkin warriors who haven't be told where they're deploying to (their bases need to be done still, haha!)

I got my first army totally painted for a tournament too. I feel it really helps with motivation. So good chose :)

[Urkh]

Update: So, since I was waiting to get paid to sign up for the event, when I went to go do it, it got full up, so I won't be able to attend. However, this is not going to stop me from getting the army battle ready. As such, I've gotten the Averland Sunset base coat done on the entire army. Don't mind the other xenos armies around them...

[Urkh]

Got the tanks to what I consider battle ready standard.

They look awesome Urkh. I'd say that's more than Battle Ready! The yellow is really vibrant and pops. The glass canopy's look really good too, remind me of the film Aliens. 

[Urkh]

Thank you! The yellow is still just an Averland Sunset base coat. The only difference is that this picture is taken under my full spectrum lamp vs the other that wasn't.

 

I actually wanted to get the windows of the canopy 100% done because if I hadn't, the process would have covered the silver railings for when I go back to finish the tank. I didn't want that so I just finished the windows to preserve the work I've already done. The same reasoning is used for the tires. Paint rubbed off while handling the tanks, and I know it will just rub off again when I go to finish them, so I decided to not waste the paint and time.

 

Next step: infantry!

Man this is going to be an awesome army! Your color selection is on point and you've painted it beautifully so far! Any plans for some fluff around these guys??

[Urkh]

Fluff is definitely in the works. I know I want them to be right at the center of the Galaxy where the most stars are, so they can harness the vast energies most efficiently. As for a conflict to have, that's still up in the air.

Yeah the galactic core is a neat place, here's to hoping we get some more literature around it in the future! As far as conflicts go, if I'm not mistaken the most common enemy for the kin to encounter in the galactic core is Orks! So thats one option, but apparently there is an influx of outsiders in the core since the maledictum opened, so you have other choices for sure! I'm excited to see what you do!

[Exius]

These looks awesome, you've really made the yellow pop!

Have you had your tournament yet?

[INKS]

those votann are looking great
