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

[grailkeeper]

The dead guy in the chair did have a sword through his chest, which isn't very Niddy.

[Lord Marshal]

The animation looked great, hope that team works on something for WH+.

 

And I wouldnt mind a Squat Space hulk salvage box minigame vs Tyranids and whatnot. Sort of like Deep Rock galactic but in derelict spaceships.

 

The whole thing looked like it had more budget put into it than every episode of Hammer and Bolter.

[Handsome Fred]

After this trailer.

The real april fool is wh+ animations quality.

 

Thanks gw.

[Captain Idaho]

I can see it now; Squats released before 2 wound Chaos Space Marines.

 

It seems like a lot of effort to just troll people for April Fools, so I dunno if this is actually legitimate or not. Interesting.

[Sete]

The squat is a joke, the reveal is the door locked behind him.

It will be a Loyalist Primarch.

Well, its gone 12:00pm uk time and the page is still up.....

They don't take them down afterwards, here's the last few years':

 

2019

 

2020

 

2021

 

Here's the actual ones

 

2019 - iServ Pro

2020 - Warhammer Cereal

2021 - Primaris Lieutenant TV Show

 

 

I do seem to remember both AoS Slaanesh and Sisters were revealed in April Fools videos but I can't seem to find them anywhere

[BitsHammer]

Squats where part of that mega rumor list that's been accurate so far so I believe it's real until GW says otherwise.

[CypherThe1stFallen]

If squats come back, in any shape or form, as a mercenary sqaud or a full blown army, I'm happy for those that want them. I might buy some for fun and bits. If it is all one big joke, good for GW. I won't lose sleep over it. 

[Corswain]

And I forgot what day it was. Never believed for a second that Squats were coming back but I was excited at the thought of something new comin to 40K - it's been years! What, 15 years since Tau?!?

[Cleon]

So, that raises the question, if this isn't an April fools, where is the April fools? (as they've done the last three years)

[Plague _Lord]

100% legit kill team.

 

That animation was about warhammer + level - I'm surprised they didn't charge us for this teaser!

[phandaal]

If it is only an April Fool's joke and nothing more, it is a very bad joke.

 

If it is a sneaky announcement wrapped in an April Fool's joke, they get some major brownie points for bringing back a fan favorite.

Try 21 years in October

Ad-mech and Genestealer cults was 7 years ago, those count as the most recent additions to 40k right? (not to the lore ofcourse but neither are squats new to that).

 

Edit: also Custodes and Harlequins

Can't believe the crazy bastards actually did it, well that's my next army.

Yep. Do not care about their relative power level, if they are similar to existing factions, any of that. Show me some legit Space Dwarves!

[Joe]

Added the video to the OP. 

[Noctus Cornix]

Squats. Calling it now.

 

I'll just... leave this here. :P

[Captain Idaho]

=][= This is a reminder that discussion of off-topic elements, such as Primaris, should be taken elsewhere.

 

Additionally, let's not use outright labels of calling things "dumb" just because you don't like something, especially without any reasoning to back that up as it's unnecessarily provocative. And if you think there are elements of 40K and squats that are in fact "dumb", such a discussion would probably be off topic in scope of this topic ;)

 

It's OK to not like something and post such and why, but let's steer away from unquantified statements that are fairly provocative and imply anyone who likes what you've called dumb might also be dumb... =][=

Look at the date this was posted.. 

[Dark Shepherd]

If it was a single bluff its very douchey. I reckon double bluff

 

Probably a killteam. And ravaged ship gives them an excuse for new boards/terrain too

[Cyrox]

Look at the date this was posted.. 

 

We know, we've been discussing that and how it could very well be a double bluff given the investment and effort

GW actually having the braincells to pull off a double-bluff? Well consider me impressed if this turns out to be genuine.. I was expecting this cinematic to be the coming of Angron actually, ngl.

*'Diggy Diggy Hole' comes blasting over the vox*

 

"Emperor protect us, they have returned!"

 

Aye, manling.

[Hfran Morkai]

I didn't propose squats as I anticipated them to be an April Fool's joke and considering it went live in the UK on the 31st it didn't seem like it would be an April Fool's gag.

 

So now I'm flummoxed.
