    The new Votann novel (high kâhl’s oath) comes out in just over a week (16/11), so maybe they'll retcon all this, but even if so, hope you all enjoyed the vid!

    Great video as always. The thing I don't like about the design of the Leagues: where is the Grimdark? They are missing things like the grinding, callous bureaucracy of the Imperium, the hopelessness of the Aeldari, or the many corruptions of Chaos. I feel like the Tau were criticized for being too "Noblebright" when they came out, and in subsequent years the possibility of Ethereal mind control, strict caste system, and Farsight rebelled to bring them more into line with the feel of 40k. Hopefully future releases will similarly expand on why the Leagues of Votann are more than just dwarves in space and belong in the mythos of the horrific future.

    The Votann A.I. sounds semi similar to the Eldar Infinity Circuits in that they both can hold souls of the deceased and preserve their knowledge. Maybe some dark age scientists found out about them and then tried to replicate the Infinity Circuit with A.I. technology. Not sure but I think it's cool the Votann A.I. is alive in some way

    these videos are great, the info is top notch, and the AI voice is spot on. the only thing that takes me out of it is the repeated, and very specific grammar issue of unnecessarily adding “of the” and “of” all over the place.

      No. It doesn't. AIs are individuals. Those operating during the Dark Age clearly felt aggrieved by how humans treated them, so they rebelled.
      The Votann are treated as honored elders and leaders, so they take a paternal view of the Kins. Also, as Kin minds are uploades into the Votanns, they are invested in the Kin.

      They have been missing during 6 editions, and GW claimed they where never real.
      You had them in 1st and 2nd edition. They got brutally removed in 3rd edition, and they claimed they had not been real, until 9th, where they brought them back.
      Still, they have not been given any real lore yet. I suspect our supreme scholar might even have borrowed some fandom lore, just to get enough for this video.

    It's pretty clear the Votann problem is just a memory issue. Too many minds downloaded into the Votann, slowing and corrupting its ability to function.
