Leagues of Votan - Playable Again?
/
Warhammer 40,000 - Leagues of Votan were in a weird place with the initial Index10th Edition release. However the recent updates and balance data slate seems to have moved them into a playable state.
Leagues of Votan - Short and Scary
/
Warhammer 40,000 - Squats have been missing from Warhammer for so long, it’s great to see them back in the game. The new line is unique looking and shares some similarities to the style of Tau mixed with some Imperial designs and even have a bit of Van Saar from Necromunda in the mix. The result is something unique the feels like it fits in the game rather than being a total departure, I really like the overall look of the faction.
This is the first batch I’ve had to paint and they came to me already assembled so I can’t speak to the sprues yet. But the models are great and straight forward to paint. With a totally new force it’s hard to narrow down what sub-faction is going to be the best or best fit your play-style so it’s always a safe bet to come up with a unique scheme that can be whatever you might want to play. Unlike existing factions where the extensive lore might drive you to one particular force, something new has less to draw you in.
The scheme I settled on is a light gray with yellow accents and blue runes. It looks different enough from the existing schemes and was fairly simple to paint.
I’ve been playing against this force in our ongoing crusade and regularly get stomped. The Leagues are really durable and my opponent uses the +1 Toughness trait which makes them even harder to wound and maximizes the Void Armor denying re-rolls.
