Warhammer 40K released a brand new army last week, and then immediately nerfed it:
Warhammer 40,000's newest army made quite an impression of the game's fanbase, although not in the way that Games Workshop expected. Last month, Games Workshop released the Codex and first miniatures for the Leagues of Votann, an updated version of the"Squats" from older editions of the game.
Fans realized immediately that a Leagues of Votann army would be extraordinarily powerful on the battlefield, with the faction's Judgement Tokens being particularly strong, as they automatically scored a Wound whenever a player rolled a 6 to hit. Because it was obvious that the Leagues of Votann would immediately be a dominant faction, several tournaments stated that the Votann armies would be banned until Games Workshop released a FAQ.
On September 29th, Games Workshop released an update for the Leagues of Votann, increasing the point cost of many units while also modifying the Judgement Token ability so that it doesn't trigger other abilities or rules that trigger when an unmodified"6 to wound" is rolled.
Keep in mind that Games Workshop often releases FAQs and updates to its armies to keep a level of competitive balance in the game. However, the backlash and speed in which Games Workshop moved to nerf the Leagues of Votann is still surprising. We'll see whether the Leagues of Votann will end up being a force on competitive Warhammer 40K, or if these new changes have taken the wind out of their proverbial sails.
