The Leagues of Votann are back in force, and every Forge‑master is smiling.
This massive wave drops new characters, core infantry, artillery, and a sleek hovercraft, so any Kin commander should take notice. Moreover, the accompanying Codex rebuilds the rules from the ground up, replacing Judgment Tokens with a fresh Yield Point mechanic. Because dice and data cards round out the launch, you will have everything you need to hit the table fast.
New Characters Forge the Narrative
First up is Buri Aegnirssen, the Thrice‑Devoured. He is a Hive Fleet survivor wearing a Tyranid skull and swinging Bane, a darkstar glaive. Because vengeance fuels him, he stands back up on a 2+ after his first fall.
Meanwhile, the Arkanyst Evaluator joins as a mad weapon tester. This Kin totes a transmatter inverter with three fire modes, so every battle becomes a live field test.
Yet the biggest brain arrives with the Memnyr Strategist, an Ironkin hero who buffs Steeljacks. Therefore your line gains free Overwatch or Heroic Intervention each round while stacking Yield Points near objectives.
New Units Bring Serious Hardware
The Ironkin Steeljacks kit builds either bolter‑armed guardians with melee gauntlets or gunners rocking heavy volkanite disintegrators. Because their Preymark Crest adds Precision near objectives, enemy characters melt fast.
Next come Cthonian Earthshakers, mole mortars hearkening back to Rogue Trader days. They fire breacher or tremor shells from underground, and the crew gains tools like geomantic echolocators.
Finally, the Kapricus light skimmer appears in two flavors. The Defender mounts a magna‑rail or HYLas cannon, whereas the Carrier hauls five Yaegirs with twin magna‑coil guns. Each variant uses anti‑grav repellers and comes with optional Ironkin crew.
Codex and Support Tools Overhaul the Rules
A brand‑new Codex: Leagues of Votann lands with 144 pages of lore, art, and a totally rewritten core rule. Because the old Judgment Tokens are gone, you now manage Yield Points across five Detachments and twenty‑one Datasheets. A Collectors Edition sports gilt edging and a ribbon marker, although stock is limited. Additionally, Combat Patrol: Bane‑slayer’s Bulwark delivers an Einhyr Champion, five Hearthguard, three Thunderkyn, ten Hearthkyn Warriors, and a massive decal sheet. Therefore newcomers get a balanced starter force straight from the box. Moreover, a themed dice set and datacard deck keep games swift and stylish.
Closing Thoughts
The Leagues of Votann just leveled up with new lore, new heroes, and flexible unit options. Because each kit oozes character and heavy firepower, existing players can reinforce their Kin quickly. Likewise, newcomers have clear entry points through Combat Patrol and the rewritten Codex. Grab these releases, load your magma‑coil, and claim that sweet aether‑gold before the bugs strike again.
