I'm really not sure what to think of the new design. It comes across as quite generic sci-fi and compared to Grendleson it just seems lacking? The Necromunda miniature still had elements of the original designs and influences from fantasy Dwarves, which I thought was great.

Very happy to see they're coming back.
Space Dwarves are a near auto-buy from me, but I still need to see how the whole army looks before I buy. One preview model is not enough.

From Bob over at War of Sigmar when the leak list first dropped, we can expect at least a Thudd Gun too.

Well looks like my "Don't believe anything on the internet on April Fools" statement failed this time.
Well played GW...Well played

You know I bought three boxes of Van Saar just because I liked their aesthetics. I think I'm voluntarily going to buy some space dwarves. What's the non-emergency help line...

Damnit GW, how am I supposed to concentrate on stuff I already have now? First HH 2nd and now Squats coming back? Oh and this totally confirms beyond a doubt the big leak, so World Eaters as well?
Damnit GW....
But really, this is so cool. Love the look of this guy, hyped to see the rest of the range. Cant quite believe that I can say with confidence, by the end of the year Squats vs GSC games will a thing.

Seriously though, 2022 is turning out to be a MAD year for us Rogue Trader fans. Corsairs, Beakies, and now these little guys.. Best GW year ever

I think that leg looks more robotic than Squat but I can be wrong.
Looks like I was wrong indeed.

Looking at them more, i'm actually really quite disapointed with that aesthetic. Squats with higher level of tech than the Imperium is a great idea, but they just seem so bland and like they could fit in several other sci-fi settings very easily. Grendlesons design has the padded underarmour and Dwarven Iconography all over which gives a bit more life to his design, and even the Kharadron Overlords have more of a Space Dwarf Aesthetic.
I get the impression that the main body for this is going to severely limited beard possibilities too as there isn't room for them to stick out at the front.

To quote the article "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." Does this mean AI robots etc? I imagine that's the way these may differentiate from Guard etc.
