Hi everyone! I’m a big fan of the Leagues of Votann, so I was thrilled to see the latest reveal from Games Workshop showcasing new Votann models in their Big Summer Warhammer Preview. These fresh additions are a welcome expansion to the existing range, and for me, it’s vital that new models continue to flow into a faction – it keeps things exciting and dynamic.

Today, I wanted to share my Votann Land Fortress with you all! It’s just a “short” 😉 post, but I couldn’t resist showing it off. I was so hyped about the Votann when they were first launched. However, as any hobbyist will agree, it’s easy to get drawn from one project to another as exciting new models are released. I really need to double my efforts and paint more units—a “little” 😉 effort often goes a long way!

Showcase: Leagues of Votann Einhyr Hearthguard

No, these aren’t Chibi Space Marine Terminators, they’re Einhyr Hearthguard in Exo-armour. Despite their size, there are a lot of parallels though including deep striking and a 2+ save. In today’s post, I share my thoughts on their design as well as detailed high-quality photography of my squad I painted.

Showcase: Leagues of Votann Cthonian Beserks

Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work I go! These augmented space miners are off to deal with a wicked Wych or two before heading to the nearest asteroid to mine it for precious materials. You can check out the close up of my painted squad here, unless you’re too busy sleeping in forest waiting for a Daemon Prince to wake you.
