Leagues ot Votann are the newest faction, and by proxy of that (and also GW being GW), they really don't have THAT much lore, and ATM they're essentially Deep Rock Galactic Dwarves but they're all bio-engineered clones that worship huge ancestor supercomputer AIs that hold all the memory of every dwarf but run on Windows Vista so they can barely operate after tens of thousands of years of server time.
So overall they're arguably one of the least evil factions.
The Votann only really resemble the squats in name, form, and basic lore. Since 40k was just Warhammer Fantasy in Space, the Squats were really just the wacky Sci-Fi take on Fantasy's Dwarfs that quickly fell behind as 40k quickly became much more independent from Fantasy.
Just take a quick comparison at the 40k Squat models and the modern Votann models, there's a very clear difference.
