Warhammer Dwarfs, discussion/hype thread

[Calchet]

I admire your effort, and with luck, this'll spur me into finally finishing up my Chaos Dwarfs to give them something to bear a grudge against...

A few comments:


1. Dwarfs. Not dwarves, or you're likely to eat the wrong end of an axe.

2. Looking at the preliminary graphic, remember that warhammer dwarfs are *very* stout. I'd suggest more width, and perhaps a more splendid beard. (Even regular warriors have some pride!)

3. Dwarf Rangers are marked more by their large weapons than crossbows, from the codex I have access to, and are probably more likely to use throwing axes as secondary armament - having them do so will add some variety to your projectile lineup.

4. "Crossbow" should obviously be "Quarreler".

5. Slayers are skilled with all kinds of axes - not swords. I'd suggest two axes, or possibly a greatweapon.

6. Thunderers are awesome, but I can see why you'd avoid them - that said, it feels a bit odd to have steam-powered gyrocopters and such, and not guns.

7. A 'Grudgestone' evocation that tosses a boulder might be a good replacement for the grudge thrower war machines...

8. Slayers don't really lead troops except for other slayers, so I'd push the Dragon Slayer down to poor leadership.
