Games Workshop is showing off the new stratagems of the Leagues of Votann and they have one for almost every occasion.

The Leagues of Votann are coming very soon and they have been preparing for war. Their Ancestor Cores are running the numbers and they have been working on every scenario imaginable. Today, we’re getting a look at a few of their stratagems from their upcoming Codex. Get ready to play the right one for the right job!

“The Ancestor Cores known as the Votann provide the Kin with knowledge gleaned from countless generations, back to the very birth of their race. Within each Votann’s quantum infocores lie the accumulated wisdom of military tactics and battlefield theory from every war the Leagues have ever fought, forearming the Kin with a strategic oversight that is all but unrivalled – as well as some pretty tasty guns.”

Leagues of Votann Stratagems

First up we have Family Loyalty. This stratagem allows for any Votann Infantry or Biker unit to perform a Heroic Intervention. Having that in your back pocket will provide your army with a nice counter-charge option when you need to bail out a unit or spring a trap!

Mag-Riders is a special one for the Votann Biker units. This one is used when they are the target of a shooting attack. It subtracts 1 from the attacks hit rolls and it also prevents the attacker from getting attack re-rolls if they advanced. This one’s handy for keeping those bikes around — especially if the enemy unit had to advance to get to shoot at them.

And now for a little offensive action. Optimised Volley allows for your Bolt weapons to generate extra hits on unmodified 6s. And if the target unit is 11 or more models then they generate 2 additional hits. Thin the horde!

Luck Has. Need Keeps. Toil Earns. Is a three-pronged stratagem. For starters it allows for the Votann Core Infantry unit to auto pass a morale tess. It also allows them to ignore any rule that would force them to fail an action (provided they aren’t attacking or charging). And finally, that unit also get as  “feel no pain” save on a 6 vs any wounds. This last for one whole round, too!

The Leagues of Votann have even more Stratagems on the way. They are going to be a tough army to crack and are well equipped to tackle the challenges of the tabletop battlefield!
