There are nonetheless just a few key items lacking from the Leagues of Votann. Hopefully these get added in finally.
After the Games Workshop preview we’ve got a fairly good thought of all of the cool new items coming to the Leagues of Votann. It’s a fairly properly rounded batch for positive. The military has an excellent core of choices from which gamers can construct from. That stated, it’s nonetheless looks like there may be loads of room to develop.
We noticed an analogous factor occur when the Adeptus Mechanicus was launched. Fans famous the dearth of issues like a transport and a flyer possibility. Eventually, GW added these in addition to just a few extra items. We assume that is going to be an analogous case for the Leagues of Votann. This is basically a “first pass” to get the core of the military on the market and we expect that later GW will fill out the roster with extra specialised items.
So what are these items? That’s what we’re right here to speak about in the present day!
More Unique Character Options
Right now, we solely find out about one distinctive character for your complete Leagues of Votann Army Roster — Ûthar the Destined. While he looks like a neat character and we wish to be taught extra about him, a single distinctive character feels missing particularly if you examine it with different armies. Now keep in mind we simply discovered in regards to the different characters within the military, too. Units just like the Einhyr Champion, Brôkhyr Iron Masters, and the Grimnyr. These are all attainable choices for distinctive characters sooner or later.
A Flyer or Two
So far Game Workshop hasn’t dropped any hints at a flyer. Looking again on the previous Squat Armory, the unique military had two flyers. The Iron Eagle Gyrocopter and the Overlord Armoured Airship. These have been from the Epic vary but it surely’s not that far of a stretch to see them as 40k items. The greater downside is that mainly each of those items have been repurposed by GW.
The Iron Eagle Gyrocopter looks like it was snagged by the Archaeopter from the Adeptus Mechanicus. Sure, you possibly can substitute the wings with engines however then it’s only a Stormtalon Gunship…which is already a unit, too.

As far because the Overlord Armoured Airship, properly, now there’s a whole faction in Age of Sigmar that makes use of these. They even took a part of the identify: Kharadron Overlords. I’m sensing some crossover potential however actually that’s simply fanfic and gained’t occur. Or might it? I dare you GW. I. Dare. You.
A Land Train?
The Hekaton Land Fortress is cool and all. We’re excited to see it in individual. And we’re hoping that GW has plans sooner or later for some kind of trailer hitch possibility. Hey, they did it for Necromunda with the Cargo-8 Ridgehauler!
Now we do must admit a Land Train is sort of a foolish…it’s probably not a practice if it doesn’t have tracks to experience on, proper? So at that time it’s only a actually large engine with a bunch of trailers behind it. Anyhow, it’s sort of an iconic factor from the previous Squat Army so I can see why some people are disillusioned. But I believe the concept nonetheless has some benefit.
What was neat about thought is that it’s mainly an enormous, transferring fortress with totally different sections that might do various things. I believe that idea might nonetheless apply. Seeing as how the brand new large rig for the Leagues of Votann is known as a Hekaton Land Fortress, I believe GW may be on to one thing.
If nothing else I’m anticipating to see some extra variants of the Hekaton Land Fortress. We all know that Game Workshop likes to take a “base kit” and create extra choices. I might simply see an much more gunned-up model of the Hekaton Land Fortress launched. One with much less transport capability however with extra bang-for-your-buck if you happen to catch my drift.
More Bikes?
The new Hernkyn Pioneer is a cool trike possibility for the military — however the place are the bikes? The ones with simply two anti-grav wheels as an alternative of three. Squats have been large into the bikes earlier than so it’s just a little unusual that each one these choices mainly acquired rolled into the Pioneers. This looks like an space GW might simply broaden upon with extra items. Especially in the event that they have been Troop choices. Speaking of which…
More Troop Options
This is our ultimate spot we’d like to see get extra consideration. It looks like the Hearthkyn Warriors are doing all of the heavy lifting within the Troop slot. While that’s most likely effective to start out the military it does really feel like that is one space that might definitely broaden. Maybe with a motorbike squad possibility as talked about above or perhaps with another archetype unit. We’ll have to attend and see if/what GW comes up with.
We’re nonetheless ready on the total launch but we’re already wishlisting some extra items for the Leagues — what items do you wish to see?
