Grimnir is the dwarven god of war in WHFB. It’s pretty strange they used his name for a psychic power, considering how he loathes magic (and shooting) as tools for weaklings…
Just a thought on the Votann Berserks: seeing as they don't have "kyn" in the name, maybe they're unhinged robots? In the article that talked about the Votann super computers they noted how some have gone a bit dodgy and are gaining personalities. Maybe some lesser constructs exist and are considered "Votann" but their programming went haywire and so now they use them as wrecking balls on the battlefield. This would fit with the dwarf archetype of golem building, and it might explain what a "cyberstim" is, some kinda of programming power boost? (Or if we're really lucky it's screaming half-naked space dwarfs. Because slayers are sick.)
I thought this. Maybe a corrupted spirit of an ancestor saved to the votann computer thats been uploaded to a robot. Kind of like a wraithlord construct for the eldar.
the votann as far as gw has described it arent robots they are more like giant smart servers, huge depositories of knowledge that has 2 much knowledge that it takes forever to get info etc etc
@@GuthanSlayer which makes the description of these as votann berserks all the more intriguing doesnt it. I was speculating that the association of these votann computers/AI with ancestors and ancestor worship, might mean that they contain the memories of their dead ancestors, and playing with the idea that those memories or personalities might become corrupted due to this overloading and then taken out of the votann mainframe and uploaded into some sort of battle robot, so they can continue to fight for their league. Similar to how terminally wounded space marines can get put in dreadnaughts, or more like the way the souls of eldar dead can be taken from their infinity circuit and put into various wraithbone constructs to fight on after death. It was just a wild speculation that occured to me as being kinda cool, and seemed similar to the original posters idea.

. . . I am 100% going to buy some stuff involved with this Army, but MAN. As a guard player, this is just pain. A faction that has been MIA for almost 20 years gets an update before we do :(
well yeah cos guard have had loads of updates before squats have. don't worry though, i hear on the grapevine that there are new guard coming, including new tanks.
Gee Dubs just has no idea how to make imperial guard competetive without making them look ridiculous. I mean they can make space bugs tougher, or immortal Terminator robots more deadly, but how do you make normal human ls comparable when you already have armies of genetically engineered transhuman super-soldiers? As for me, the imperial guard is def my favorite faction. Normal humans standing up to interdimenional demons? Very Lovecraftian.
Wasn’t too excited about them at first but I do loved fantasy dwarves so much and I am starting to come around to the idea of seeing space dwarves on the battlefield.
We've already seen the new Exo-armor. If the Exo-armor is the Terminator equivalent, and the other models we've seen so far are their "Light" infantry per GW and are thus a Scouts equivalent I think the picture on the front with what looks like a double-barreled bolter with scrollwork is probably the middle "Marine" equivalent.
Im so hyped for them. I started last year again and wished there would be a dwarven like faction. Also world eaters getting a Codex aswell 2022 best year for me :)
Something that can inform us about the Psychic Powers is the fact that, canonically, the Squats were subsumed by the Tyranids. Ancestral Wrath is obviously a horde-killer (Termagaunts, Hormagaunts, Gargoyles, Rippers). Zoanthropes are pretty dependent on their Invulnerable Save for survival, and are a sizable threat to specific targets, so Null Vortex is a fantastic way to make them ultra squishy for a turn. While Tyranids can be moderately shooty, they aren't fantastic at it, so making them worse at it with Crushing Contempt is a great idea, and with older iterations of Synapse rules most Tyranids had really bad Leadership (Synapse just made it 100% irrelevant if in range). It's a very nice inter-relation of the Lore with the rules.
Canonically squats were NOT eaten by Tyranids. That’s simply how the GW designers explained the discontinuation of the faction to those who asked about it in universe. Basically they were asked if the squats were eaten by the Nids and the designer team answered “sure, whatever”. I. Truth there’s not a single bit of canonical lore about this but it’s possible GW sticks to the Tyranids explanation since it became so ubiquitous
I think "skein" is a North mythology reference, where it is the fabric of reality/destiny, being spun, read and cut by the three Norns. It's a fitting interpretation to have the genetic templates referred to as skein, being the literal thing that controls their genetic destiny, as well as the psychic powers manipulating reality through it.
Fantasy settings have always been pretty heavy on Dwarves having a rather blunt Norse mythology behind them. I'd say this can tell us a lot about their force organization based on the naming conventions.
Can't help but notice the big old searchlight on the back of that hover-trike - looks like we can reasonably guess at least one unit that'll have the Searchlight keyword
I wish they would have focused on fixing the shit show that is 9th edition 40k, before ramming a new faction down our throats. I honestly couldnt care less about this new army.
Look at the card about the Berserks. They say they are from Cthonia. that is Horus's home world. It looks like the Squats are invading dead Imperium worlds.
So these "leaks" seem like they tend to come out just a bit before the actual reveals and codex drop. Im not trying to whine here, as I am looking forward to these guys, but why on earth does it appear that we are getting essentially new factions before all of the existing ones even have an up to date codex? Has guard gotten pushed backed to 10th?
@@wesleyalana I am aware, they existed long ago in the ancient days of first and second ed. Due to the long absence, however, I do not feel it is unfair to treat them as essentially a new faction. That said, I should adjust my wording in my original comment for clarity.
Turning a bike deathstar into harlequins for 1CP seems insane if the bikes are good! Null Vortex much better than the marine equivalent because of the longer range.
Guard supposedly had a codex but they were still getting stomped so they didn't bother to release it. Basically in order to fix guard they'll have to release a new edition.
Oh cool 9th edition! So uh when's guard comeing? Oh....after the squats? If you told me this 2 months ago or a year ago I'd of thought you where jokeing
What's the point of having core rules if every faction bypass them at one point ? For instance : the CP regen is cap at 1/a turn, but not for this, that, this and that... and this... It's counter intuitive. It ruins the game.
Genuinely don’t know why games workshop eve has a release date any more. Surely it would just be easier to make a date when all the leak are tournament legal?
If the fact that we're getting leaks of the Votann codex means Votann get their book before Guard do I'll literally be taking the next plane ticket to the UK.
I'm trying to be happy for those players who have been waiting for the return of the squats, but it's hard to shake the feeling that this model range is a waste of time and resources
Aren't Space Wolves getting a bit watered down now that Votann is pretty much consolidating the Norse theme? Ancestor core, Hearthfist, Votann Berserks...the old WH Dwarfs had this in spades but it feels a bit intrusive to have now theme-wise IMHO.
Exactly what I was saying to myself.. Great aesthetic, and dwarves are a majority fan fav. But this give armies everything stuff is getting old. It waters down the army and basically continued to anhilate other books that came out earlier in the edition. I respect the business end of it, but they're gonna make them stupid to sell as much as they can.
@@notforplay84 It's not even Codex creep, it's a lack of uniqueness beyond combining half the armies in the game. Based on what we have seen so far, they are just a hodgepodge of other faction's abilities with nothing truly unique of their own.
Yeah. And I do not think they look like dwarves / squats. Their proportion both in minis and arts are wrong. They look like nomal sized humans. Necromunda Squats on the other hand are proper Squats.

Hilarious that the squats got a major codex leak before the GUARD did (or the demons, who are also in great need)
They might as well just get rid of guard and get it over with. Only a new edition will save that army.
At this point I’m suspecting Guard and Daemons are going to be the final big Versus box set.
Funny thing though, there are still a ton of fluff guard players. James just has no idea how to make them competetive.
Plastic Krieg will be huge
This is the same thing that happened with the Sons of Behemat. Usually the origin is the Chinese printing company.
Wasn’t too excited about them at first but I do loved fantasy dwarves so much and I am starting to come around to the idea of seeing space dwarves on the battlefield.
Imagine an entire faction getting created before Guard get their codex.
The poor guard
And my poor daemons
The squats are as old as the guard actually. And they have been waiting far longer for a codex
And they'll probably do guard better than guard does.
The LoV are still months out. It is entirely possible that we can get a guard dex before they come out.
