The Ironkin Join The Warhammer 40,000 Leagues Of Votann

June 7, 2022 by brennon

The Leagues Of Votann continue to get previews from Games Workshop ahead of their release for Warhammer 40,000. Whilst many of their kin are flesh and blood, some of their numbers are synthetic in nature. Enter the Ironkin.

The Ironkin are true mechanical intellects that were created by the Votann. They consist of a Cerebral Unit that is very hard to destroy which is then housed within a mechanical body. The Ironkin pursue as many different career paths as their flesh and blood kin, finding themselves fighting as shock troopers, lugging cargo around transport hubs and even piloting the fighter craft of the Leagues.

As well as that, some of the Ironkin are also capable of plotting pathways through The Warp. You'll no doubt have noted that the look of these Ironkin isn't far off the designs that are used by the Adeptus Mechanicus. In a difference from their larger robot kin amongst the Mechanicus, the Ironkin have personalities and "emotions" which I'm sure would make many an Imperial official bristle.

You'll also note that this matches up interestingly with the prevalence of drone usage amongst the T'au. Could this be an interesting link to the Demiurge that form part of the T'au Empire, an offshoot of the Leagues Of Votann?

Once again, I'm sure that the Imperium would have a few things to say about the Leagues teaching other factions how to use their powerful technology. I guess when you're as good at your job as the Votann, you offer up your skills to those who can pay.

A neat look at what's coming up for the Leagues Of Votann!
