by now I am just waiting for the first Resin Bits to appear to turn all the small old Marines into Votan

Cutting off the exhaust from the backpack, get some round helmets and weapon bits and be done

The above image was the source posted about the ban in 40k Gen. See anything that indicates that the ban being about a limited initial release, or anything like that?

the german tournament rules/guidelines that are more or less used everywhere state that no codex without current FAQ/Errata is allowed
so LoV are banned from German tournaments by default until they get their FAQ/Errata (which is usually 2 weeks after the regular release) that an additional reason is given on reddit, I guess they just wanted to make a point

Starcraft Humans looking more like Dwarfs (or Aliens) than Space Dwarves?
I cannot follow that but to each their own

for the Votaan, my main problem is the same as with most recent GW lines, there are nice individual elements, but the overall theme does not fit

like the army is supposed to be an exploration/mining gang that use the same stuff for combat, therefore a non military style, yet their armour and equipment is dedicated to war (the exploration vehicle has way too much guns and not enough exploration equipment to be anything else than a Battle Tank) with a highly technological advanced humans that need to improvise vehicles for war

I think the last line I liked as a whole was the Dark Eldar re-design

Votann-
Short ✔️
Beards ✔️
Tools ✔️

That’s the whole “dwarf” checklist there.

yeah, I you can play the old Space Wolves as they are as new Votann and no one should have any problem with it
there are Tools, Beards and the models are the same size, just add wheels to your Land Raider and you have a 40k Space Dwarfs Army

as you show in the picture, Votann are the same size as classic/old Marine models, which are said to be 6 feet (as Primaris are taller than Firstborn)

you have to let the concept go that those are dwarfs

GW said those are humans on special exploration duty for several 1000 years and therefore bulkier

so those being human sized is perfectly fine as they are not designed to be dwarfs, those are just humans with non-imperial technology
