Leagues of Votann
The Kin of the galactic core — grudges filed, judgements rendered, in hardware.
About Leagues of Votann — Lore & How They Play
The Lore
The Leagues of Votann are the Kin: clone-born, stocky and pragmatic, mining the lethal riches of the galactic core with technology inherited from their ancient Votann cores — machine ancestors that remember humanity's golden age better than humanity does.
They want profit, not conquest — but wrong a Kindred and the grudge is logged, judged and repaid with interest. The Kin don't do crusades. They do invoices.
On the Tabletop
A tough, elite mid-range army with the game's most satisfying grudge mechanic: Judgement tokens mark the units that have wronged you, making your whole army hit them harder. Hearthkyn warriors, Hernkyn riders and beam weaponry that ignores cover round out the toolkit.
Play them like a ledger — mark the priority targets, collect the debt, and hold the ground you've paid for. Durable, punchy and refreshingly straightforward to learn.
The Leagues of Votann are the 41st Millennium's space dwarfs: cloned, armoured miners and mercenaries guided by ancient AI ancestors and very good at holding grudges. Tough, well-equipped and practical to a fault, they're a brilliant mid-sized army with chunky, characterful kits.
