Triszin Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I know it's a little hop, but still. Who's going to be joining the leagues of votann!!?!! I will be, still trying to decide on the paint scheme. Petitioner's City, apologist, Pacific81 and 2 others 3 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I definitely will. Maybe not in the building and painting kind of way but surely in terms of lore and stuff. Eager to see some painted ones in here and engage in discussions about this new and intriguing faction! Dwarves were always my thing and I'm all down for tmthe Voltann leagues!

Lord Marshal Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Most likely. I'm a Dwarf fanboy and after 20-years of Guard I can't really see myself rebuying the army for sake of the new sculpts, so the timing works out. beefeb, Triszin and USNCenturion 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVoidDragon Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Despite thinking that they've taken away way too much of the classic aesthetic and/or the Dwarf theming, I very much like that 40K is getting Space Dwarfs again and will at least be following their lore.

Focslain Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I'm at least getting some of the vehicles. The sagitaur looks amazing. I'm hoping for an actual train or blimp model though. Weither I dive right into Votann will (like the Tau before) depend on the Crusade rules. Like to see what system they made for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Not for me. I loved the old Squats ad had a big army of them in Epic. Land Trains, Gyrocopters and steampunk Airships all the way. LoV just don't do it for me, they have taken out all the classic design cues. It is fair enough that they want LoV to be their own thing and not tied to a 30-year-old aesthetic that most players don't even remember. But LoV just aren't what I hoped they would be. I will leave them to other players who aren't carrying squat baggage.

It's such a shame that the Squat design motifs are basically gone entirely considering Grendl felt like an awesome update of the originals and was halfway between both the classic aesthetic and the Leagues aesthetic.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I find them quite interesting. I may have to jump into the band wagon. MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AenarIT Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Demiurgs, Squats and the Leagues are supposed to be linked, right? If they end up having some keywords or rules (like brood brothers, agent of the imperium, harlequins travelling players, upcoming 25% daemons in a chaos list) that allow them to be played in a Tau Empire list, I definitely will. Otherwise I doubt I’ll start them for now. Too many armies and ongoing projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Bearclaw Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Definitely at this point. The return of the Squats has me genuinely more excited for 40k than at any point in the last 6-7 years. This (plus the Heresy stuff, which is also rather welcome) is making 2022 the biggest year in the hobby for me since 5th edition SW in 2009. I've liked pretty much everything they've previewed so far, with only a few small caveats (like how stable the hover bike will be on the base and 'how many full helmets will we get in the kits?') plus the obligatory low level grognard grumble about the rename (though original Squats were a bit before my time, so this is just a general grumble about GW renaming everything to be more obviously copyrightable). Though is has to be said 'Leagues of Votann' is much better as a name imo than stuff like 'Astra Milatarum', so even that is about as good as it gets. So yeah, pretty hyped . mel_danes and MithrilForge 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I'll probably nibble with a Combat Patrol and Codex, and then see how I go.... Trokair and MithrilForge 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I may get some models, but probably not enough for a whole army. I would love to have some Kill Team rules for them - it seems like they would be really fun to play with some of their (anticipated) esoteric equipment.

Trokair Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 A little I suspect, a 1000p force or so. It partially depends how and if I can repurpose my Dwarf Mechanicum Spoiler MithrilForge, Kelborn, Lord Marshal and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandaal Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Lifelong fan of all things Dwarves. Aside from the flying street sweeper, liking everything so far. Definitely on the Squat train! Dracos and MithrilForge 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roryokane Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Love what they've done with the Squats. Going to stick to Space Marines, of course, but very interested in the lore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 The aesthetic is not for me, and I'm in on 2E 30k after being in during 1E as well as the Chaos releases for 40k. However, I'm glad to see something other people are excited for. I think that's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it wouldn't surprise me if the Demiurgs turn out to be related to Kin/Squats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandaal Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 The lore so far implies that Squats can be created with tough knobbly skin, which is probably another nod to Demiurg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gattopardo Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I think I will be hopping onto this train. I'm a big Dwarf fan and had a sizeable Dwarf WHFB army. Votann look different to the old Squats but in a potentially interesting way, particularly this difference they are teasing out between Squats on human worlds and the Leagues. The idea of the Leagues' technology being based on STCs, but without the backwards and religious angle towards it that the Imperium has, is really interesting for me, and I love the vehicle they've just previewed. Not sure yet about the infantry. I hope to see more Men of Iron though. Definitely keen on sentient robots, especially if they have some amusing rules under which they can go rogue in certain circumstances. silverstu 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I don't give two hoots for the Lore (GW's lore is pretty thin nowadays anyway)... But the models are way cool, I'll definitely be making a leagues army ... Bring it on !! Mithril Dracos and mel_danes 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValourousHeart Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I like what I'm seeing so far. I really didn't want to add another faction to my already daunting pile of shame. But I know myself, and I'll likely get a small 500 -1000 point collection fairly quickly once they release. MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstu Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Yep definitely! Sold off some old stuff so I could have funds to buy in. Long time dwarf collector and really can't wait to get them. Bought the Squat prospectors to test out some schemes and found them loads of fun. Something very satisfying seeing dwarf shapes back I the 40k setting. Looking forward to reading the lore and seeing the art. phandaal and MithrilForge 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taliesin Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Its all looking great so far, and I am very interested in their lore so will snap up that codex when it finally comes out. Definitely a superb looking new faction thats being introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I’m not sold on the faction yet, but I think they’ll be good for kitbashing stuff. I imagine the land train will be helpful for making leviathans. At least I hope is a LOW, instead of a regular heavy support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
