Hello, this is my initial build for the Leagues of votann, I'm quite happy as it is, but having trouble deciding which league to go for. Currently I'm thinking about greater thurian league, but also the ymyr conglomerate seems appealing. What do you guys think?

Greater thurian league battalion
-hq- kahl (rampart crest) 80 (warlord: pragmatic wisdom)
-hq- grimnyr 80 (relic: murmuring stave, powers: interface echo, fortify, null vortex)
- troop- hearthkyn warriors (10, magnarail rifle, hylas autorifle, plasma axe, medipack, comms) 150
- troop- hearthkyn warriors (10, magnarail rifle, hylas autorifle, plasma axe, medipack, comms) 150
- troop- hearthkyn warriors (10, magnarail rifle, hylas autorifle, plasma axe, medipack, comms) 150
-elite- einhyr hearthguard (5, teleport) 175
-elite- einhyr hearthguard (5, teleport) 175
-fast- sagitaur (sagitaur missile) 120
-fast- hernkyn pioneers (3, comms, searchlight) 100
-fast- hernkyn pioneers (3, comms, searchlight) 100
-heavy- hekaton (heavy magnarail, 4x bolt cannon, matr autocannon, kin's wrath warhead) 240
-heavy- hekaton (heavy magnarail, 4x bolt cannon, matr autocannon, kin's wrath warhead) 240
-heavy- hekaton (heavy magnarail, 4x bolt cannon, matr autocannon, kin's wrath warhead) 240

Total 2000

Secondaries;
- engage on all fronts
- warp ritual
- ancestors are watching

Tactics;
I've tried to make the list entirely mechanized, as their main weakness is mobility, so the hearthkyn ride in hekaton, einhyr start in deep strike, pioneers scout for flanking objectives and characters ride in sagitaur.
I think it's a good all-rounder list, but it could also work well as ymyr conglomerate.

Hi, I've updated the list since the nerf hit hard on my list. I've also decided to go for ymyr conglomerate, the reason is that now every points cost went up, meaning less models on the table. And ymyr conglomerate boosts nicely durability of low-model count. Here's the new list;

Leagues of votann battalion (ymyr conglomerate)

-hq- kahl 80 (warlord)
-hq- grimnyr 90 (powers: interface echo, fortify, nullvortex, relic: murmuring stave)

-troop- hearthkyn warriors (10, magnarail, L7 missile, plasma axe, comms, medipack) 165
-troop- hearthkyn warriors (10, magnarail, L7 missile, plasma axe, comms, medipack) 165
-troop- hearthkyn warriors (10, magnarail, L7 missile, plasma axe, comms, medipack) 165
-troop- hearthkyn warriors (10, magnarail, L7 missile, plasma axe, comms, medipack) 165

-elite- cthonian beserks (5, molelauncher, twin gauntlets) 165
-elite- cthonian beserks (5, molelauncher, twin gauntlets) 165

-fast- hernkyn pioneers (3, rotary cannon, searchlight, comms) 125
-fast- hernkyn pioneers (3, rotary cannon, searchlight, comms) 125
-fast- sagitaurs (2, 2x sagitaur missile) 280

-heavy- hekaton (heavy magnarail, 4x bolt cannon, matr autocannon, kin's wrath warhead) 310

Total 2000

Secondaries;
- warp ritual
- engage on all fronts
- retrieve Nephilim data

Tactics; 2x warriors hold backfield objectives, hernkyn pioneers and sagitaurs loaded with beserks go for flanking objectives. 2x warriors screen the characters and move to the center of the battlefield, supported by hekaton.

So, I'd like to hear your opinion about the list, I think its a decent list, so much more durable in ymyr conglomerate. It's also built around 2x combat patrol boxes, which saves me some money.

I like it as I was thinking of the same list for the same reason (using the combat patrols).

Still thinking about swapping out the Grimnyr for an Iron-Master. There's only one Hekaton, but you might still see some value there.

Also thinking about combining two squads into a 20-man squad to take advantage of buffs/stratagems.
