Leagues of Votann Army Box & Codex Revealed!
The first wave of Kin includes Ûthar the Destined – who you can also build as a Kâhl – a formidable Einhyr Champion, three nippy Hernkyn Pioneers, and 20 Hearthkyn Warriors who can be taken as two squads of 10 to fill out a Patrol Detachment.
It’s the first place to acquire the 104-page Codex: Leagues of Votann – with an exclusive cover no less – alongside a pack of 50 datacards and two transfer sheets filled with the symbols and logos of the major Leagues. Everything in this set will be available separately later – except that exclusive codex cover.
The box looks like it will basically be a 500-point list. More or less a Combat Patrol, but with two HQs, so we’ll have to see if they just rebox it for a Combat Patrol or come with something new.
The Leagues of Votann Army box set will have a decent number of new models inside and just like they did the Beast Snaggaz, this will be released early with the codex.
So, if you want it, you better prepare to order it fast. Unless they hopefully do the MTO option once it sells out.
Lastly, it also comes with a collectors edition of the new Leagues of Votann codex, with a unique cover for the army box. But a normal version along with a limited edition one will be sold later on afterward.
Einhyr Champion
They mentioned this Einhyr Champion will be the best melee unit in the army (well, armed the best), and actually has a jump pack to fly through walls, so will probably have some really nice bonuses on the charge. They also said it will be a multi-part kit in plastic as well.
Uthar the Destined
Next up, Uthar the Destined will be the only named character in the book, but could also just be modeled as a regular character as well. they didn’t say too much in the way of rules quite yet.
Mole Grenade Launcher
This is a bit of a throwback to the old-school tech the Squats used to have. This will launch a round into the ground and it can pop up and destroy the enemy!
Brokhyr Iron-Master
The Iron Master is sort of like a Techmarine, and only the Ironkin model to the right is a thinking being. The other floating models are like servitors and will help him repair vehicles.
Grimnyr
The Grimnyr will be the Leagues of Votann psyker and has a second head option from the looks of it, as well as a female option for the kit. They are also the closest thing the Leagues have to priests, so they can also buff units around them.
Hekaton Land Fortress
The Hekaton Land Fortress is the biggest model in the line and will have plenty of firepower. They also mention how durable it will be, while also being a transport.
Think Hammerhead mixed with a Land Raider, so expect plenty of power from this. The top weapon is also basically a railgun equivalent (ignores invulnerable saves) and can wipe out squads simultaneously.
Lastly, they dropped a roadmap for the new codexes. So, Leagues will be jumping Imperial Guard, and then finally World Eaters.
When Will The New Leagues of Votann Go On Sale?
So, for now, at least, we have “seen” lots of new models and some rules for the upcoming Leagues of Votann Squats army! While Games Workshop says it will be a few months before we see them all, the first are set to arrive in September of 2022.
