I can just imagine a Tau diplomat trying to introduce the Kindred to the Greater Good, and when they realize that no response has come in over a century, they send another representative to get an update. “Ah, you’re just in time!

The "Demiurge" process of trade deals probably included generations of water caste merchants waiting to hear back from them. "We have decided that we will trade our Ion weaponry technology with you. Now, we must determine type of weapons that shall be." (10 years later) "We have decided to give you our Ion Rifles. We now must decide on which make and model to consider as part of this trade deal." (40 years later) "We are willing to sell you the Mk-53 Ion Accelerator Rifle. We are now determining its cost."

[@Dingus_Khaan]

Indeed. The rise of the Men of Stone (albeit in all but name, for the time being) to the forefront of the lore definitely has some interesting implications when put alongside the information gleaned from the Spirit of Eternity's A.I. and from UR-025, the existence of the Ancestor Cores and Iron-Kin, Vash'torr the Arkifane's introduction, and the potential for the Dark Mechanicum to become a playable faction.

You, Amber King, Only War, and Leutin are my favorite 40k channels. I appreciate so much the work you put in for these lore videos. I battle with fairly severe clinical depression and suicidal ideation, and getting lost in 40k books and lore videos is one way that I combat the voice in my head that's trying to kill me. Your content is of such a caliber that, as an empath, it completely takes over my own feelings and thoughts while I'm consuming it, allowing me to escape from those feelings and thoughts, if only briefly. Seeing your new videos pop up in my in recommended feed is one of those treasured sparks of happiness in my life that I'm constantly searching for. So seriously, thank you, for shining a ray of light into my perpetually darkened attitude towards life.

It’s also very logical, Golden age humanity (Men of gold) being master geneticist would create a hardy semi-race that will do the work for them.. (17:30-19:00 basically sums up the description of the men of stone..) The Stone men will with their skills in metal and machines create a semi race to assist them.. Both men of gold and stone will look down upon the men of iron as mere tools, until the ironmen rebel against them.. The leagues are just an enclave that escaped the cybernetic revolt and age of strife..

I absolutely love the Leagues of Votann. I was really worried that GW would need to crowbar them into the setting and it would feel immersion-breaking. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were introduced in a way that makes sense and doesn't feel forced. The culture of the Kin, how they're the descendants of ancient humanity is just perfect. I love how they managed to include most of the Dwarf tropes and make it feel organic and appropriate in 40K. I applaud you, GW. Thanks for giving us this to enjoy.

[@TK199999]

I always like the nickname for the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way. El Monstro or the name of giant black whale in Pinocchio that swallowed everything. But if the Kindred are Men of Stone, then things get werid around the Cybernetic rebellion. Because in some fluff the war/rebellion was against the Men of Stone specifically. Since the Men of Stone created the Men of Iron. It would also explain why the one known surviving Man of Iron doesn't hate baseline humans. Because the war with Men of Iron wasn't with baseline humanity, but with the Men of Stone and baseline humanity got dragged into it.

Things I need to know... A) Will there be chaos corrupted ones in time? B) how big will their hats be ?

[@DrMetropolis]

So far, the kin are very resistant to both mutations and chaos possession, as they have very dim souls and use barrier tech to interact with the Warp. This barrier tech means that their psykers don't actually channel the warp directly making it hard for demonic possession to occur. That being said, there are Votann AI who have gone insane, and its entirely possible a Votann itself could get possesed (the Ancestor Cores have a warp signature and can be seen in the Warp, despite being purely machine). I could see an Votann creating its own Chaos Dorfs.
