FOLLOW THE WILL OF THE ANCESTORS

The ancient Leagues of Votann are resilient, pragmatic and fiercely protective of everything they have claimed. Guided by the wisdom of their Ancestor Cores, the Kin cross the stars in search of resources, lost technologies and profitable acquisitions, recording every contract, debt and grudge with unwavering precision.

Codex: Leagues of Votann opens the sealed archives of the Kin, revealing the traditions, ambitions and technological heritage that shape their civilisation. It is the essential companion for anyone seeking to understand the Leagues and command an Oathband in the battlefields of the far future.

EXPLORE THE CULTURE OF THE KIN

Delve into the history of the Leagues, the organisation of their Holds and the enduring influence of the Ancestor Cores. Rich background material reveals how the Kin balance ancient wisdom with practical ambition, combining loyalty to their Kindreds with an uncompromising desire to protect and expand their galactic holdings.

The book provides context for the warriors, commanders and formidable war machines seen across a Leagues of Votann collection. It helps transform individual miniatures into members of a living civilisation shaped by inherited knowledge, industrial power and oaths that may remain binding for generations.

COMMAND YOUR OATHBAND

Lead the Kin into battle with a complete collection of faction rules designed to represent their discipline, advanced equipment and methodical approach to warfare. Organise your force around different strategic doctrines and develop an army that reflects the character of your chosen League or Kindred.

Whether you favour resilient battle lines, mobile prospecting forces, heavily armoured elites or powerful war engines, the codex provides the foundations required to develop a coherent Leagues of Votann army and bring its distinctive strengths to the tabletop.

FORGE A NARRATIVE OF CONTRACTS AND CONQUEST

Build the history of your own Oathband through narrative campaigns in which the Kin pursue valuable contracts and secure vital assets. Victories can become profitable acquisitions, while rival commanders may find themselves entered into the records of the Leagues as obstacles, debtors or targets of an enduring grudge.

This narrative framework is ideal for players who want their collection to evolve across successive battles. It provides inspiration for naming commanders, developing a Kindred and creating a campaign story shaped by exploration, obligation and the relentless pursuit of resources.

INSPIRATION FOR COLLECTORS AND PAINTERS

Bold artwork and atmospheric miniature photography showcase the visual identity of the Leagues of Votann. Rugged void armour, advanced weapons, industrial vehicles and geometric heraldry offer inspiration for creating a force that feels both technologically sophisticated and deeply connected to ancient tradition.

The examples presented throughout the book can help collectors plan colour schemes, identify details and develop a consistent appearance across infantry, characters and vehicles. They also provide a strong reference point for hobbyists designing an entirely original League.

FROM COMPACT BATTLES TO A COMPLETE ARMY

Dedicated Combat Patrol material supports smaller tactical games and offers a practical route into commanding the faction. This makes the codex useful both for players beginning their first Kin force and for experienced collectors expanding a substantial Oathband.

As your collection grows, the book remains the central reference for exploring new army concepts, developing narrative campaigns and understanding how the forces of the Leagues operate within the wider Warhammer 40,000 universe.
