The Leagues of Votann have emerged from the depths of the galactic core. To face their armies in battle is to stand before an armoured avalanche that crushes all in its path. It is to be appraised and then brusquely dealt with by attackers who see you as little more than an obstruction to profit - or worse, as a hated nemesis whose annihilation is worth any cost. To their partners in trade and war, the Kin are invaluable allies. Yet those they deem a risk to their peoples' survival face destruction, meted out with the same relentless rigour that the Kin apply to all their undertakings. - บันเทิง

That is a Grudgin’.
Release the Little Guy cut!!
Since there is a group of Votann Kindred called the DeepRock Kindred
So canonical to the grimdarkness of the 41st millennium IF YOU DON'T ROCK AND STONE YOU AINT GOING HOME
ROCK AND STONE!
ROCK AND STONE

Now the real question, do they have a pet nid called Steeve?
ROCK AND STONE
just throwing it out there: the Tau use AI drones to transmit messages faster than light between their different septs that use Warp travel, and navigate the warp without psykers, or even living creatures onboard, meaning the drones don't draw any attention from creatures in the warp, who can't tell the difference between tau drones and an asteroid.
Random daemon: Damn, that’s one weird looking asteroid.
@@deleted8001 "ayo, that astroid is beeping at me!"
I thought they were slower than the speed of light
@@kriegscommissarmccraw4205 they send them in the warp to make it faster then light

Shy turning Bricky to Shortstack Thiccy is always awesome, but I feel like DK manages to escape most of her wrath
That's because she knows Bricky is the one that inspires it all
It's because DK's already just a little guy.
And almost immediately after even uttering about the Dwarves being little guys
He's so much of a little guy that he's below her notice.
I've seen DK on Shy's channel a lot more, and a lot longer ago. I kinda suspect those 2 have been friends for a long time and they probably give each other enough shit off screen that they don't need to on here.
Voltun: get a strange prophecy they don't understand.
Random Necron Highlord: realizes his last massively complicated sandwich order before being turned got sent to the wrong place and that's why he never got it.
I would love if there was a bunch of short stories about Necrons slowly realizing that something that they did accidentally hundrets/thousands of years ago became one of the foundation stones of one of the other major cultures/societies of 40k.
@@arthurgomes5188 You ever read The Infinite and the Divine? lol
@@arthurgomes5188 Someone get a BL author
@@andrewpollard9684 i know that Trazyn is responsible for the "discovery" of the "secret" space marine legion, but, i would just like a bunch of short stories that focus on stuff like that.
Well, seeing as how there is only one Necron that would order a sandwich, it's probably not a "random" Necron, but our good friend, Nemesor Zahndrekh.
The way I understand it is that each Kindred has its own Fane that communicates with the Votaan. The Kronus Hegemony's Votann was the equivalent of an ancient Excel spreadsheet becoming so convoluted it achieved sentience.
When your comms terminal gets so complex it gain sentience
hmm a little hypothesis as a software engineer:
the votann are practically the equivalent of super ultra advanced database handler (the program that sifts through a database whenever you request something from it or add to it) and a fane or whatever is a small ai that interfaces with a kindred in between the votann and the psyker dude
since the fane probably has self improvement protocols it saw that the votann was becoming slower and slower so it decided : fuck it i'mma be a votann now course of action to become a votann :
1 ask the votann how to do it : task complete
2 now i need materials and since i got a copy of the database format of a votann i can begin inserting data anyway so ask the kindred for materials and knowledge to get shit done
is pretty much my theory
“I was born in the sea of information”
I really hope GW make it so that the Votann equivalent to a dreadnought is even MORE exceedengly heretical, like maybe they are Ironkin, or maybe they are a kin's conciousness fused with an auxiliary A(bominable)I. But most importantly, they better give us a Knight/Titan equivalent with a huge mega-deth train.
Shy’s cherub’s shit eating grin made me laugh
Tonite on Ridiculous Gear: DK tries to outdrink some Kâhls, Bricky challenges the Cthonian Beserks to an arm wrestle and Shy joins the Ironkin to escape the little guy jokes.

Mom can I get the Leagues of Votann?
Mom: "We have leagues of Votann back home."
Home = Deep Rock Galactic
Yaaaay!
"If you don't rock & stone, you ain't comin' home!"
"Did I hear a rock and stone?"
ROCK AND STONE, TO THE BONE!!
WE FIGHT, FOR ROCK AND STONE!
It's not always about the money.
Also Leagues of Votann: If It's not about the money, it's about gold and ALE!
or the ancestors
And the TRASH BUISNESS is a G O L D M I N E
It's about the Mets, baby.
Considering now Bricky has thought both the Transhyperion alliance and the genestealer cult member were blue, I'm wondering if he's a little bit colorblind.
Not even 10 minutes in and Bricky get a Token from Shy.
Bricky, every League, which might be hundreds of holds, has at least one Votann. Every Hold in that League has a Fane, which is an interface - a computer/machine remote link - with the Votann, so that it can keep all holds informed of what's going on. Some Fanes have become so developed over the years that they've achieved sentience and become a Votann or Votann-equivalent. .
I absolutely _love_ how Shy's retribution for Bricky pushing her buttons didn't just stop with turning him back into the Shortstack Grot (which was expected), but went even further by putting him in *_the fucking BOOK!!!_* (which was _not_ expected, but was _fucking perfect_ all the same)
In my head the squat on the left is DK, the big red one on the right is Bricky, and the robot is Shy… and the one all the way on the right is wondering why they won’t shut up about “rocks and stones” or something like that
Yes
As a Floridian it’s hard to remain loyal to the Emperor when the place you live in is tainted by Chaos.
I just assumed that New York had a Gene Stealer uprising 20 years ago
I couldn't imagine a Floridian being loyalist anyway, stay safe!
Florida is cadia from another Floridian
Florida is Gereon confirmed?
I can easily see Florida having its own type of chatichan jungle fighters
3:30 - "with the stupidity gone"
My brother in the emperor that is impossible
My interpretation of Votann FTL is to bring it back around to one of the many Sci Fi series 40K stole from: Dune.
In Dune, the people of the far future use the Spice to chart course across the galaxy. But only because they purposefully avoid using "Thinking Machines". That is, computers of any kind. They have machines that facilitate the folding of space, allowing for interstellar travel, but they must be operated manually. All tech in that series does, because they can't have a machine doing calculations for them. It's why they need to specially train people - Mentats - to be human calculators, and why they need the Spice to give them the prescience needed to chart a course to their destination. Their tech can do the work, but they need human thought, boosted by Spice, to "aim" it.
Presumably, prior to the AI rebellion that precipitated the ban on thinking machines, humans in the Dune universe would just have a computer calculated the correct course.
This is what, I think, the Votann are doing. Possibly because they weren't caught up in the Machine Revolt of the 40K universe, or for other reasons. They never abandoned the use of AI. So while post-Machine Revolt, other humans had to adopt the use of psychic Navigators to travel the stars, the Kin never had to. They just kept using Ironkin who could Beep Boop the solution no problem.
While this does constrain them in certain ways, and makes travel take longer, it's way more reliable. They have, in many ways, the superior FTL technology (at least among human descendants), because they aren't anti-AI zealots. The Imperium makes its own problems, and suffers for it.
Kinda of a shame that they didnt mention the Demiurge now that they have been confirmed as Votann that are allied with the Tau Empire
I remember one of the leagues mentioned in the initial announcement was Seran-Tok Mercantile, a new League that reached prominence by trading with the Tau, and I was surprised they didn't end up in the final codex.
The squats were sort of mercs i get it if in the new lore if some votann work for the imperium or the tau but space elves?! NO!!
Passive Tyranids sounds like a cheery yet disturbing horror story also Dark angel squats!?
Sounds very Dark Angels to me. Furthermore that green armor is very sus
I wonder if they are bugs that are feral and severed from the collective
@@iainharper3926 Or they could be secretly working on an hive mind spire thing like hive fleet Tiamat.
My first thought was Hive Fleet Tiamat (my personal favorite), as they're the only one of the big hive fleets known to be weirdly passive.
SHORTSTACK GOBBO BRICKY IS BACK!
It would be Thorgrim to break the fourth wall just to settle a grudge
The name grimnir is also the name of the god of war of the dwarf of warhammer fantasy , GW need always to re used names
it is also one of Odin's names
Shy: **calls Floridians Chaos worshippers**
Me, a Floridian: You know what, that's fair
I'm also a floridian, I play Night Lords. Got me playin like a bath salt zombie
So let me set the scene:
You're a guardsman posted on the outter perimeter. Its been a quiet week so far, it seems the enemy has withdrawn further up the defensive line. Yet command keeps the squat mercenaries on patrol, that or they refuse to to sit and wait by a post and simply perfer the march. Your buddy leans in after the hegemony votan formation pass by and whispers. "Whoa mate. Y'see them beards they ad? Roight proppa by tha throne they is." As he has quite the facination with well grown and kept beards.
A single kin freezes in the small marching formation. He turns. Gauntlet clad finger shakingly pointing at your fellow guardsman as spittle rains from his yelling mouth.
"YER GOIN EN THA FOOOKEHN BOOOK!"
As they thought it impossible for one to hear niceties behind whispers.
Only cursed tongues speak behind the backs of the votan.
This, I love this
Here was me anticipating a commisar to shoot the two because they dared to compare an abhuman to the glorious emperor 😅
Though that might be preferable to the grudge of dwarves?
It sounds like a Fane or Thane is a compiler and it gained enough info to make its own choices.
Agreed - it has gotten REALLY stale.
I think the explination of the thane of the kronus hegemony being a votaan is that thwy kept adding tech to it, meant to speed up the grimnyrs communication to the point that all the small AIs in the tech fused into a new Votaan.
Its special in the fact that this shows that votaans can be made new, but that thier hunger for knoladge results in very aggresive new legues
I hope they talk about the Talarn Desert Raiders and how a certain event in 2001 is the reason why they haven’t had a update since then
I’m honestly surprised it’s taking so long to do more guardsmen regiments lol, but I cannot wait there are many I like
They are also the reason why you shouldn't make caricatures of the God Emperor
???
@@simonbehrendt4392 I'm at such a loss for what either of these mean lmao
@@grayw00f Islam forbids the depiction of God. I'll let you see the connection.
Regarding the Kronus Hegemony, the goals of their newly-ascended Votann seem awfully familiar... Great Crusade, anyone? Did Big E possess a Fane to send the Kyn on Great Crusade 2: Rock and Stone Boogaloo?
just eternal expansion of the galaxy?
Uthar, Cain, and Calgar need to get together for a mood kindred meeting
They arent REALLY clones.... They are designer people, where each gene line is put together in different combos.
Test tube baby ?
@@randomrhino7500 exactly.
Shy's shit-eating grin absolutely killed me. Although I'm not sure anything can ever top the bit with the Great Clean One, which sent me into like a 10 minute laughing fit.
Implication is that the Votann are sentient AIs that don't wanna murder all people... so maybe there's a process by which non-sentient smart programs can develop sentience and become Votann? I mean the implication is that it's something between Photon and Woden... so like a wise being of energy.
Votan… Wotan… Odin. Ah yes, GW’s completely original names and characters.
What's wrong with Norse inspiration when dwarves are norse
@@AceTaxiaGaming "inspiration" As much I love Warhammer let's not pretend that they don't have a VERY long history of taking "inspiration" from just about anything and everything. Then trying to act like they totally made it themselves so they can copyright it so no one else can use it.
@@AceTaxiaGaming "Inspired" lol. It's really lame. At least change it. It's so bad.
@@sinbotosimmons7624 Because people are totally gonna think that Odin was made by GW lol
@@cegesh1459 Votann is far removed From Wodin
Ad Mech did have Daedelosus from black stone fortress but with their new book they lumped him in as a general Techno-archeologist
Two months late, but the Hegemony worships a Votann that became fully sentient/sapient and became an active leader, unlike an overburdened smartphone that the other Votann appear to be.
Note: maybe it's remarkable that the Hyperion whosits have three ancestor cores because it's not actually very many?
I honestly didn't expect the Squats to come back looking so fucking dope. Couldn't be happier! The Leagues kick ass!!
So, honestly it seems like the Leagues are kind of just picking up where the DAOT left off tbh. Also, their warpdrives sound kind of like the Skipdrives from Outer Worlds.
Also I’m pretty sure that the trans Hyperion alliance is orange due to workplace safety standards.
That makes perfect sense, and I love it (dark age part and workplace safety standards)
So if I understand correctly, the Fane is like a terminal for communicating with the Votann. Every Kindred has a Fane, but by far not every Kindred has a Votann. So they are like cloud access terminals. But for the KH, their Fane just kinda started acting independently from the Votann it was supposed to link to, and thus became a new Votann.
The Fane that became self-aware sounds like if a search engine actually gained sentience.
It's Not Always About The Money, Spider-man, It's about Mets, LET'S GO MET'S, BABY!
Keep in mind Votann tech is from the dark age and humanity had been researching the warp for millennia. This includes imperial tech like the ciricrux anima, animus speculum, and the warp drive itself. They definitely understood how psykers and the warp operated and actively used technology that could interact with both. This is confirmed by AI from then. The Imperium is simply scared shitless about such tech, so we don't see it often. It's entirely possible the Votann use the same tech as the Golden Throne, allowing grimnyr to empower the Votann to shine in the warp.
Ya know, all the things that are super turbo heresy.
What I really like about the Votann faction is, that all subfactions are good.
It' about the ROCK AND STONE!
Thank you for protecting us from the little guys shy
I don’t get why they’re shitting on the Deep Rock Galactic reference. They would’ve said “Oh man, it’d be cool if they put in a reference to ROCK AND STONE, but too bad they’re cowards.” if there wasn’t one
it's not always about the money Ad mech. It's about the mets, love da mets, come on mets
So their warp travel is like the tau
The beacon can be explained with a sole machine that's not blocked off like an Eldar spirit stone open for their kin with their saying "the ancestors are watching" taking a literal meaning
Here is my take.
The reason the Alliance has 3 Votann and why it is remarkable is because how few they are.
Like it is remarkable a whole League can survive with only 3 of them.
Naw, most leagues only have one. Three is a fuckton
I can only imagine the chaos that would happen if someone actually destroys a Votann. That grudge would make the black crusades look like a minor skirmish.
My guess is with the Fane achieved self awareness. In Software terms. I think it cached enough information somehow that it itself can figure things out before needing to ask the actual Votann. Perhaps by accident or perhaps by the votann it worked with changing the Fane.
My name is thane and I usually use these videos to fall asleep but as I was drifting off hearing bricky say my name woke me up
The Iron Kin needs to be holding a can of motor oil. So impolite to not join in the celebration...
Bricky once again incurs the wrath of Shy. Surprising absolutely no one!
Hmm... You know, the Slayer Stout in DRG is a VERY clear Warhammer reference, so I think it's fine for them to include the Deep Rock Kindred as a "Hey, we're fans of your stuff too!!” to GhostShip
Leagues of Votann are basically Tyranids with expanded diplomacy into having a Trade option.
I love the smug face on shy. Only noticed that now if it's been a thing before.
u know that Prawn Suit in Subnautica, exo-armor meant for mining asteroids? I want that for the space dwarves, GW. But Grimdarker, obviously.
22:39 I have to agree with bricky, orange is under utilized in wardrobe.
Coming back to this episode after I've started playing DRG is different.
You want to talk about GW having no shame? In fantasy there's a character named Filthy Harold. A gruff, no nonsense detective who's not afraid to break a few bones to get what he wants. Who carries a "Magnin" throwing knife, the heaviest of it's kind in the world.
And then GW has the audacity to get prissy about "their" IP.
Hold on, someone made a fan animation, I will inform Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau of this Heresy
I recall a character named “copyright expired”
Most powerful things in 40?
1)Sly Marbo

Absolutely love this podcast , thanks for always having an entertaining show . Can’t wait for the blood angels !
can't wait to listen to the rest of this after work I got a taste of the Votann on driving today
Shouldn't DK get his own shortstack transformation?
As a moustache connoisseur, that statement is getting a grudge.
Haha, thats what you get Bricky! Now whos the little guy?
yo, you got me with the "its fashionable", "umm i don't think you know what that word means" lmao
Fanes are devices used by the Grimnyr of the Leagues of Votann to interface with Ancestor Cores. Every Hold has a Fane, which is a timeless device located in a space of quiet contemplation. At the heart of this device is a tangle of machinery that is part altar, part interface.

Roooooock aaaannnnddd Stoooooooneeee!!
Given how much Bricky loves the gaurd I am surprised his not mentioned the Lucifer Blacks yet in any episode? they are probably about as amongus as you will get in 40k
So, AR is not something I've watched as they come out, or binged. But having watched that "Just a Little Guy" clip someone animated, I can totally understand just how done with that bit Shy is. I am hoping Bricky stays a goblin for the rest of the series.
I love when you guys reference the detective videos
Lol of course gw went there with deep rock. I kind of already imagined the bugs were Tyranids in that game. Though would that make the robot enemies a rival votann group?
As an Alternative Heresy Enjoyer I think Dh Will quite fun to see Bricky Explain
Funny enough how the votanna model line mirrors the kharadron one and everything high tech dwarven is super brocken.
URSR are straight up Dark Angels-ing it, aren't they?
my deep-fried food-craziness was one of those "Uncrustables" (pocket PB+J sandwich), dipped in funnel-cake batter, then deep-fried, then they added a scoop of apple pie filling on top, poured caramel on that and then sprinkled a granola-nut crunch on top. I ate every bite, was sugar-buzzed for hours, then went drinking with buddies after the fair... and woke up the next morning with a hangover so bad i thought I was dying XD
I wanna see Uthar, Cain and Papa Smurf just sobbing and holding each other for support
I will say I wasn’t too excited for the Dwarves at first but after learning about the Leagues and seeing their badass gear and aesthetic, I am a fan. I would love to see how different groups of the imperium (I.e. Astartes, AdMech, Sisters) react to the Leagues.
Imagine if the votanns are actualy giant robots cats that fuse in a giant mech.
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?!
one thing that confuses me and something that some one might be able to clear up is aren't most Kriegers vat grown as well but they are still fully visible in the warp?
Yeah, Krieg mass reproduces with Vitae-Womb tech that mechanicus gave them. They're normal people at core, just bred for Krieg.
Oh if you were asking if they are clones and that causing trouble with their warp presence then no, they aren't clones.
Clones don't work in 40k, they all fail and die for unreasonable causes.
@@majormajorasic Except Fulgrim but then even Trazyn was like "I need that shit, a clone that hasn't broken down into soup!"

Don't you dare tease me with all that delicious Bricky Goblin Shortstack. Imma need that plushie yesterday please.
What the hell were the Leagues doing during the Horus Heresy exactly ?
Important Private Business. Emperor-Kindred exclusive
every time I hear Kâhl I just think
"Kâââââââhl! There is a dead human in the house!"
"Oh hey, how did he get here?"
Every time Bricky says 'Votanns', I can't help but hear 'VOTOMS'·
29:08 at least DRG will get more attention
I am now planning on making a custom Votann League and making it a Deep Rock Galactic expy.
I literally just googled "notable admech 40k" and got a list of named admech
Hello! Long time fan, first time ACTUALLY-er. You got me into 40k
They are talking about named characters available on tabletop.
Also another reason to make a slight genetic differences is cos of some old lore where a direct copy tends to always die even if that means though highly unlikely reasons.
This is why the imperium never did mass cloning without slight genetic differences. Though the ideas have been floated many times
HOWEVER artificial insemination and other non natural births don't have this issue hence the DKoK not having issues alongside other vatgrown or similar lifeforms
Uthar just needs a friend who doesnt even know about the prophecy and just takes him for who he is
When your a Fan of all warhamers universes and the new Space dwarfs name their Psykers after the fantasty God of fucking war for the dwarfs just with a Y the memes and pain begin anew
