Goatboy’s Grimdark Armylist: Leagues of Votann Beserk Disco Party!
Goatboy here with an army list that speaks to me with the Leagues of Votann. Let’s see how many Beserks we can fit and if they can disco dance their way to victory.
This is a League of Votann army full of the Beserks because any detachment that lets you change a unit to Battleline means you should try making a ton of Battleline units in that army. Let’s see how many we can fit and if it would actually be any good.
Putting the Votann Beserk Disco Party Together
Let’s start with the Delve Assault Shift detachment. This one gives your Cthonian Beserks the Battleline keyword as well as the Deep Strike ability. This seems pretty neat and while the Deepstrike ability isn’t going to be used on all 6 choices I do like having a few that I could have come in and cause some problems. You know shirtless Space Dwarves that have come to party kind of problems.
Let’s do 2 10 man squads of Beserks that will deep strike in, and then 4 5 Man units that are planning to ride along in a vehicle.
Cthonian Beserks X 10 – 200pts
Cthonian Beserks X 10 – 200pts
Cthonian Beserkrs X 5 – 100pts
Cthonian Beserkrs X 5 – 100pts
Cthonian Beserkrs X 5 – 100pts
Cthonian Beserkrs X 5 – 100pts
Now I think some Dedicated Transports would do well – the Sagitaur’s seem good and gives you some bodies to move around. Will do 4 of them.
Sagitaur – 95pts
Sagitaur – 95pts
Sagitaur – 95pts
Sagitaur – 95pts
Now we need some HQ choices to round things out. Let’s see what ones would fit into this crazy pile of nonsense.
Buri Aegnirseen – 110pts
Arkanyst Evaluator – 75pts
Arkanyst Evaluator – 75pts
Now let’s add in a Hekaton Land Fortress as a nice vehicle to base the center around. It is a pretty gnarly tank and we can fill it full of Steeljacks as need as a central unit that can pop out, hold the middle, and shoot some pretty mean overwatch as needed. This also means adding in another character to roll around with them and give them a “free” overwatch.
Hekaton Land Fortress – 240pts
Ironskin Steeljacks X 6 w/Heavy Volkanite Disintegrators – 180pts
Memnyr Strategist – 45pts
This leaves us 95 points to go get enhancements which should be enough to have some fun.
Looking at all the nonsense I have and the idea to use the Piledriver Enhancement as a way to have some fun I think will add in more one HQ choice. The Brokhyr Iron-Master is the Tech Marine for the Votann and gets Lone Operative if they are near vehicles and even Ironman Steeljacks.
Brokhyr Iron-Master – Enhancement – Piledriver – 90pts
Let’s put this all together and look at this pile of nonsense and angry Space Dwarves.

Leagues of Votann – Beserk Disco Party Tactics
Using the armylist seems pretty simple. You have a bunch of counter-punch, some decent shooting, and a ton of Characters that have or get Lone Operative when near all the fun stuff that this list throws around. I don’t know how good all these Beserks are now but it does seem like a lot of bodies and vehicles on the table top where you want them to be. Plus it is a bunch of angry modified Dwarves coming to drink all your beer and steal your jerky.
For the Ancestor Cores!
