Space Dwarfs are back in Warhammer 40k

It has come to our attention that yesterday's stunning reveal of the next Warhammer 40,000 faction fell on an unfortunate date. This was an honest mistake that absolutely anyone could have made. To make it up to you, we have a rather special announcement.
They're real.

Yes, they're really real. In an April Fools double-bluff that had Tzeentch himself scratching his feathered head, Humanity's long-lost cousins actually are making their return to the 41st Millennium as a full Warhammer 40,000 faction.

And while those nasty Necromundans still call them Squats, that's not at all how they refer to themselves. These warriors have a long and proud martial history, and to those who aren't on their bad side, they're known as the Leagues of Votann – though they refer to themselves as Kin.

Although their civilisation shares common roots with Humanity, the Leagues of Votann have an uneasy relationship with the Imperium of Man. Unlike their superstitious Human cousins, the Leagues emerged from the Age of Strife with far more of their ancient technology intact, including some infamous advances the Imperium would consider extremely heretical.

Their knack for science and a headstrong nature make for skilled warriors backed up by reliable weaponry, as you can see from even this basic trooper. And while there's no love lost between the Leagues of Votann and Humankind, the resurgence of Chaos and ascendent xenos hordes mean there are usually* more pressing concerns than fighting each other.

The Leagues of Votann are coming to Warhammer 40,000 later this year, but there are still a solid few months to go before we get a good look at their advance force. In the meantime, we'll be sharing a huge amount of info about the new faction and their place in the 41st Millennium.

Join us in the coming weeks here at Warhammer-Community.com for more first looks at the Leagues of Votann, and sign up to our newsletter today so you don't miss a single thing.

* We're sure many among the Imperium could find a reason to pick a fight with the Leagues.
Oh yeah that diss on the Imperium. They aren't just bringing back Squats, they're also bringing back "is the Imperium stupid?" debates back!
