Great video, and really informative, too. I had no idea that these guys were such badasses. Thanks for letting us all know just how much badassery comes in those little packages.
I bet you $50 one of the lost primarchs was a squat, but the emperor was grossed out by how short the primarch was so he destroyed them and pissed off all the other squats in the galaxy and no longer wanted to share their STC knowledge.
Even the smallest primarch is like 8 feet tall, maybe this one is only Shaq size. I would bet that these are the remnants of the infamous men of stone in any case. It's also heavily implied in their culture.
I would love to see the league of votann being a in Dawn of war game with them insulting their enemies, but after dawn of war 3 failure. The chances are pretty low 😔
did they change the names of the hearthspake and fanes? fanes are the devices that can turn into votann cores, and the hearthspake is the domed structure that governs a kindred
Wait, Leagues of Votann had a fall? 🤔From the lore we have, they've not really suffered a "fall" and have just been trundling on and on, developing their tech, hoarding resources, and surviving. They're essentially Doomsday Preppers taken to an extreme.
Really enjoyed the depth at which you explained this group of humans who were cast away as trash because they're seen as subhuman due to their small stature. Thank you brother 😊👍
@RollzBlunts11 pardonne-moi Capitaine Canuck, I did watch the video! And unlike certain people who type such ignorant shit, I'm new to warhammer 40k and appreciate the time and effort this emperiums8. put into this video and amazed at some people's ignorance as well as the emperiums!😊👍
It just occurred to me what the Votann actually are they might be matrioshka brains a hypothetical megastructure of immense computational capacity powered by a Dyson sphere. It was proposed in 1997 by Robert J. Bradbury. It is an example of a class-B stellar engine, employing the entire energy output of a star to drive computer systems. An idea suggested by Charles Stross, in his novel Accelerando, would be to use it to run perfect simulations or uploads of human minds into virtual reality spaces supported by the matrioshka brain. The matrioska brains are slowing down because there are so many kin whose minds have been uploaded into them that they're just running out of processing power even with the fact that they're basically Dyson swarms surrounding stars and there are so many stars in the heart of the Galaxy.
@@davidsteckling7701don't think they ever got a codex, they got an army list if I recall. Had a few bikes and trikes back in the day. And Obviously a few eggs
I love LoV lore and content and this was super interesting! But, was this translated into English from another language? There are several inconsistencies between this content and official GW LoV content from the English Codex (ie referring to Tyranids as "The Curse" when they're really referred to as "The Bane", calling a "Fane" a "Temple", and confusing the battle cry "The Ancestors are Watching" with "The Ancestors Watch").
The only bad about the leagues of votann that dwarfs no show theirs beards, maybe a armor above the beard like iron or steel may be good and need more lore
I agree completely. It would be much better, not to mention way cooler, if the helmets of these little badasses had beards, each unique, some huge, extending halfway down their chests, wild, and wavy, others braided looking, while still others have them in spikes, in whatever style the wearer chooses, from a few large ones, to a multitude of smaller ones, or somewhere in between, possibly extending halfway down their chests, if they want, ending with razor sharp edges, thickly spiked, or needle thin points, and other weaponry, tools, or shielding technology, incorporated. The helmets could also have the appearance of hair, and eyebrows, and even hinged jaws, with fangs made of that deadly dark steel, which could be incorporated into the spikes, and sharp edges, of the beards, eyebrows, or hair too, maybe being popped out, just for battle, and housed internally, otherwise. Similar dark steel claws could pop out of their gauntlets, and other parts of their armor, too, at the shoulders , knees, elbows, boots, or even the chest, and back, so anything that they hit, or that hits, or grabs, them, gets stabbed, or cut. Besides the intimidation factor, when they transform from the regular, everyday appearance, to fanged, clawed, and spiked, with that dark metal encompassed by glowing power fields, it would greatly increase their effectiveness in close combat, since it only takes a scratch from that metal to kill an opponent.
I think this video should just be "hey games workshop gave zero f's to something thats not Space Marines as usual" and reduce it to like 50 seconds long
Shame on games workshop for such despicable discrimination against the short people. They had one chance to prove their commitment to making empowering minority characters and they failed badly. And with the Arab faction. And with the squats. Actually theres a lot of this going on with them.
Wut. This is a universe where big green monsters spawn from mushrooms and eat people and super elf ninjas engage in dimension-altering sex and you’re mad about representation? Again: wut.
"Representation" is literally to blame for every beloved franchise burning into an embarrassing shell of its former self. Keep DEI bullshit out of good IPs. If you need to see someone who looks like you in a story in order to feel a connection to it you are a pathetic and ridiculous person.
The Leagues of Votann are going to be my first 40K army, so this video is an excellent summary of their lore!
I love their lore, and can’t wait to have a Votann army!!
The squats in the round orange colored exo armor with green helms are known as the "Pump-kin".
Good idea I will pain my army like that
Dude really slipped a picture of Santa Claus into the video
santa would for sure be a squat
Respect the All-Father

Wait when im using this as an audio book while i work i cant look at the whole thing lol
I love the funny inclusions snuck into the slideshow.

I'll take that bet.

12:27 - Votann Vs. Space Skaven! >XD I'm in!!
If the men of Iron ever come across the Squats.
There is a high probability they will get along

We'll get Total War 40k before a DoW successor, but I'm sure we'll get one eventually
Apparently there is one in the works
Campaign objective: smash planet with planet-eating resource extractor.
Mission 1: push the big red button.
There is no mission 2.
mate you got to get these on spotify so i can listen on the way to work good job
The nids ate the squats. Leaving a crazy votaan. Best lore thus far.
❤ nah some Squats actually escaped and rebuilt their colonies in the core rim .
Tabletop army aside, I like their lore. It's a good explanation of how Space Dwarfs exist.
Imagine if Belisarius could meet up with any of the leagues and walk away with knowledge, it would be his biggest mechana-wet dream ever!!!😂😂
did they change the names of the hearthspake and fanes?
fanes are the devices that can turn into votann cores, and the hearthspake is the domed structure that governs a kindred
Hope all is well thanks as usual for the uplaod
00:30- SANTA?!???
More votann content is great! Exodites soon…?
The Iron Kin are so awesome
I hate how much these guys are ignored. We need more space dwarves !

This gentleman needs to voice the intro of every episode of Henry cavil’s show
So good seeing the squats back in 40k.
Hail to the Squats and their leader Diddly . Nobody seems to know Diddly Squat these days ...
That's OUR word! Y'all can say squattas if you want, Squats with the hard S is just for us
Thank you so much for this really appreciate the efforts 🗿

Space dwarves. I don't think they were in it when I was doing "the hobby" (94-97), the Tau, Necrons, drukhari wernt a thing back then either.
Yeah squats had a codex in the 90s
That was exactly the time they were around 🧐
Think they were still in the epic game but couldn't get 40k in squats by 94.
@@davidsteckling7701don't think they ever got a codex, they got an army list if I recall. Had a few bikes and trikes back in the day. And Obviously a few eggs

Please note that the Votann succeeded in exterminating an ork Wagghhh!!! down to the last spore.
Another 1st truth is when you want to remember something important a paper and pen analogue back up can't hurt
