Leagues of Votann Initial 1st April 2022 reveal, new lore & articles discussion

[quasistellar]

handheld conversion beamer.  Yes, please.  Although, I do prefer the low-tech imperial radar-dish and cables hanging everywhere look.

[Cheex]

 

They make substantial use of plasma fields either to augment blades or extend them, while concussion weapons like hammers and mauls mount mass drivers to really make an impact.

 

Squat lightsabers confirmed!

[zero88]

Bolt revolver. Say no more

[phandaal]

"This system projects minute gravitational pulses to maintain a stable firing platform even while running at full pelt." To me says they can advance and shoot with a whole lot of stuff.

 

Combined with their power hammers and whatnot, seems like the Squats will indeed be very dangerous over short distances.

Ahh the good old suspensors of the olden days. 

[Shield-Captain]

Now I’m even more town between waiting for these guys or doing a the lost and the damned army with the new chaos stuff. Hmmmm.

[Casual Heresy]

I love these weapon designs. My marines might have to 'acquire' some bolters and bolt revolvers...

[Slave to Darkness]

I wonder how the Leagues will get on with the Admech now with all these fancy toys? 

[Kastor Krieg]

This thing about "owning cloneskeins" vibes of both mythical "skinwalkers" and cyberpunk "sleeves". Does this mean the Kin can swap bodies at will or upgrade to a "better suited" body?

[Bev'an]

Cawl has blatantly copied some of this tech for primaris weapons, very similar look on some.

[Shinespider]

It's mostly just slightly bulkier versions of existing human tech aesthetics. I don't see anything here that particularly links to Cawl beyond that. 

[Doctor Perils]

That's a las weapon, not an auto weapon surely?

[Cyrox]

Probably a rapid firing auto-las

[phandaal]

That's a las weapon, not an auto weapon surely?

 

Definitely a las weapon.

[Magos Takatus]

Interesting throw away line in the article about LoV teaching the Tau how to harness the power of Ion technology.

 

Does this possibly confirm LoV and Demiurg are one in the same?

Looks like they are the Bentusi after all. :D

[Dont-Be-Haten]

Holy smokes! Those are really great looking weapons!

 

I can't express how excited I am to get these guys!

[Chaplain Lucifer]

The weapons look tie nicely with Imperial weapons but do have a distinctive more advanced look to them. Thumbs up!

 

Really curious to see hand to hand weapons like the power fist!

[Fire Golem]

That's a las weapon, not an auto weapon surely?

Hylas auto rifle. 

[TheVoidDragon]

I very much like the sound of their lore so far, and those weapons look good too. I just hope the rest of the miniatures feel a bit more inspired and Dwarf-like than the 2 shown so far. If the HearthKyn had had a padded undersuit like the Gambesons, less of a front collar to give space for a proper Dwarf Beard, and a couple of Dwarf embellishments, than that would have been great - but as it is, it feels a bit lacking.

[Andrés Pacheco]

A hammer mounted with a mass driver sounds pleasingly like a super-sledge

[Dont-Be-Haten]

More powerful weapons than the astartes, and taught the Tau how to use ion tech...annnnnd melee oriented?!?!

 

Holy. SMOKES.

[redmapa]

Nice, Im still convinced they will turn out to be the shotgun faction, deadly at close range with their hi-tech weapons and less so at longer range.

Sounds like it's time for a new Crusade!

Everything that I've seen has me super excited to grab these lads. I have already come up with so many narrative scenarios for campaigns and fun. I can't wait until these are released!
