Games Workshop took the NOVA Open as a chance to preview everything that is going to be coming to the Leagues Of Votann for Warhammer 40,000! We got a trailer showcasing the whole range and also a bit more of a look at some of the characters that will be leading the Leagues into battle.

You can see some of the brand new miniatures in the trailer above but we also picked out the individual new units that we didn't know about until early this morning. We start with some more for the Cthonian Berserks with the Mole Grenade Launcher.

Adapted from blasting charges used during mining, the Mole Grenade Launcher can be used to make way for the Berserks as they charge into the fray. Use these alongside your melee-focused warriors and you'll have a much better time getting to the front lines.

We then move to some of the new characters coming to support the Leagues Of Votann. Here we have the Brokhyr Iron-Master who is in charge of some of the faithful robots that fight alongside these Space Dwarves.

These E-COGS aren't quite as intelligent as the proper Ironkin but they are able to aid the Brokhyr in repairing vehicles on the battlefield and lay down some protective fire at the same time. I don't think that you could have Dwarves in your game without there being engineers of some kind.

Keeping with support-style characters, we also have Squat Gandalf - also known as the Grimnyr.

Blessed with highly sought-after psychic powers thanks to the use of cloneskeins, the Grimnyr offer their wisdom to the Leagues Of Votann and guide them in all matters. They are also an important link to the Kin as a whole. I think this miniature in particular looks awesome and I like that it has proper Old World Runesmith vibes about its design. The staff in particular is awesome.

A heavily armoured Champion is also part of the fighting force hitting the tabletop soon. This Einhyr Champion comes clad in some of the best armour the Leagues can craft and wields some seriously deadly weapons.

The description of them is "living battering ram". So, send this right into the heart of the action and see what they can kill! I'm still not massively sold on the shoulder pads for this make of armour but it feels a little bit less clunky here which is good.

Lastly, when it comes to heroes we also have a look at one of the named characters for the Leagues Of Votann. Here is Uthar The Destined.

Here is some more fluff on this particular hero...

"The most accomplished hero of the Greater Thurian League, Kâhl Ûthar the Destined is a ruthless warrior armed with masterfully wrought weapons, including the legendary Blade of the Ancestors. With a gift for assessing enemy foes, he ensures that the Kinhosts he leads strikes with swift and brutal precision."

The kit can be used to make Uthar as you see here or you can use him to make your own unique Kahl as we've seen in past previews. I am quite liking the craggy and scar-wracked face though as it gives him some serious menace!

Ok, so that's the characters but what about a new vehicle? Well, the Leagues Of Votann can also get their hands on the Hekaton Land Fortress.

It's not quite the land train that everyone was hoping for but it's still a pretty serious piece of kit. This is the signature vehicle of the Votann and can carry twelve miniatures into combat. It also comes bristling with guns to make sure that the Votann make it into combat. It also continues this almost "moon buggy" look that the Votann have with their vehicles which I am quite liking!

So when can you actually get your hands on the Leagues Of Votann? Well, a big Army Set is on the way for the Leagues Of Votann and should be released pretty soon.

This comes with a good selection of the launch wave of miniatures for the Leagues Of Votann. You get Uthar The Destined (or a regular Kahl), the Einhyr Champion, three Hernkyn Pioneers and twenty Hearthkyn Warriors who can be split into two units of ten for a Patrol Detachment.

New Khorne Berserkers!

As well as the Leagues Of Votann, we also got a proper look at the brand new sculpts for the Khorne Berserkers that will be in the new World Eaters Codex.

We saw one of these previously but we now got a better look at the miniatures.

I think the new look is a vast improvement over the original designs that have served the forces of Chaos well (?) over the past twenty or so years. I like that you still have plenty of the grinning skull masks and toothy maws that make the Khorne Berserkers feel properly nasty and deadly. Alas, we won't have our green-eyed skull boy anymore but I'm sure he will live on in spirit.

New Horus Ascended Miniature From Forge World

As well as all of the buzz around Warhammer 40,000, we also got a new miniature from Forge World for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy.

Games Workshop and Forge World were pretty sure that the miniature for Horus needed a proper chaotic glow-up. I think they have achieved that and Horus now looks like someone at the head of a rebellious crusade against his father.

Shown in the midst of his destructive rampage across the stars, it seems fitting that Horus is now standing atop a pile of bodies. The miniature screams death and destruction and is a fitting way to show off Horus at the height of his power as he looks to assault Terra and bring The Emperor low.

If you're looking for the true face of Horus and his traitorous ways then make sure to keep an eye out for this release in the near future.

What do you make of the big Warhammer 40,000 and Horus Heresy reveals?
