Male Warrior Priest, Bold or Hairy

[Monly]

Well taking the other thread or Bald vs Hair debate, I Made a Poll.

A) Bald/Shave, No Facial Hair
B) Bald/Shave, with Facial Hair
C) Haircut, with Facial Hair
D) Haircut, No Facial Hair
E) Don't Care

[Guido]

Bald and no facial hair. It makes sense to me, hair is mostly kept for vain reasons anyway, and as battle clergy men, they are above such vanity.

Topic says bOld by the way.

Tyvm for pointing that out, but editing won't change it on the title -_-

[gorgoth]

I agree with Guido. When you think of warrior priests, monks, clergymen, etc... you dont exactly thinkof them of having a full head of hair. But i don't know maybe its different with other people. :p

[miber]

Both bald and bold.

[Fusko]

Give me affros and handlebar mustaches! :mrgreen:

[Duppre]

Well, I don't know everything about Warhammer.
But on every screenshot I've seen from Warhammer the Empire Priest is bald with no facial hair.
But still this it's just a game, and I think it would be nice if you could choose from alot of different cool hairstyles and mustaches ;)
In most games when you choose hairstyles and so on, just like 3 out of 10 are somthing to have at all.
So please Mythic! Make us choose from cool hairstyles ^^

[Duvall]

I am going to play odd man out. I want Hair AND facial hair.

Yes, I know it doesn't fit into Warhammer lore, but I don't care. If the Warrior Priest has to be bald I will choose a female toon.

[Lordhelsby]

Bald + no facial hair, no compromises, no prisoners.

[Twip]

bald + neat goatee ftw

[Krulltak]

Bald of all possible hair. It is the proper way and it is the lore of Warhammer.

[Duvall]

Even Mythic bends some lore. (With the OK from Games Workshop.)

[Krulltak]

I know, but this is one piece of the lore they better NOT bend.

Shave the hair-etics!

[Koot]

Bald + no facial hair - This includes eyebrows please.

[Spleen]

Bald + No facial hair.

If you can't even be bothered to shave your head for Sigmar, you can't possibly hope to battle in his name.

[tonic]

Bald + No facial hair.

If you can't even be bothered to shave your head for Sigmar, you can't possibly hope to battle in his name.


Maybe you've been too busy bashing Greenskins and slaying Chaos to bother to get it cut? ;)

[Vitorio]

A little somthing like http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlny/original/bruce_willis_bald.jpg

[Evander]

Bald + facial hair

Obviusly Volkmar the Grim, Grand Theogonist of the Cult of Sigmar (http://uk.games-workshop.com/empire/miniature-gallery/3/)is the best example of my point of view.
Yes, they must be bald. But I'd like to add some facial hair to make my character more complete (and unique)

[Twip]

All and all, this is probably a very moot conversation. I would be willing to bet the farm they are going to give us choices on this.

[Monly]

Maybe, or maybe not. I just want to know what people think about it. I doubt this poll, or any other for that matter, will make Mythic do it one way or another. Lets just see the community's point of view on it :)

[Solidsnake]

the warrior priest in the cinematic trailer looks awsome I'd like my warrior priest to look like him

[Kalypso]

I'm not sure I want my female warrior priest to be bald :rolleyes: OK - I may not have a female warrior priest but as a R/L female I don't play male toons - so to stir the debate - what if I do want one - do they also have to be bald?

To be quite honest, I have actually chosen to play bald headed women before and that doesn't bother me - the unique factor is a big plus to me. Although I couldn't play a female dwarf with a beard - that was just too creepy.

[Krulltak]

Where EVER have thier been female dwarfs with beards in anything other then Terry Pratchett, daughter of Atlas?

[Monly]

Topic says Male Warrior Priests :D, so this doesn't apply to females. For females, hair is fine imo.

[Krulltak]

Either way, by statment of the Church of Sigmar, SHAVE THY Hair-etics! Including the females!

[Kalypso]

Topic says Male Warrior Priests :D, so this doesn't apply to females. For females, hair is fine imo.

That is why I posed the question: "...do they also have to be bald?"

I know what the topic said - but I asked a side question.


"Where EVER have thier been female dwarfs with beards...?" Krulltak

And I can't remember the game that allowed for the female dwarves to have beards - between games I have played and ones I have tested - the number is over 20 in the last 10 years. But, aye, there was an option for the female dwarves to have beards - ala Grimli's remark in LOTR - "the female dwarves look so much like the men, no one has ever thought they have seen a female dwarve" (or something like that).

[Krulltak]

Tolkien hated dwarfs (and orcs) and gave them things like bearded females. Combined with the crap movies of Peter Jackson, it's all hit fault Legolawls and Elves are so highly praised these days.

Terry Pratchett is just silly.

But Warhammer gives a good amount of love to every one of thier creations, thus they keep the female Dawi beard-free.

[Ruriktheoneeye]

More to the point they also say that the bearded dwarf female rumor was started by the Elgi betrayers.

[Krulltak]

More to the point they also say that the bearded warf female rumor was started by the Elgi betrayers.


Therefore making it a race of very masculine creatures versus the highly femenine elves.

Boy Krulltak you sure have a high amount of hate of some things.
In Peter Jackson's The Two Towers film, Gimli and Éowyn have a conversation about female dwarves on their way to Helm's Deep. Gimli said: "it's true you don't see many dwarf women. And in fact, they're so alike us in voice and appearance that they're often mistaken for dwarf men." Tolkien comments further, paraphrased by Gimli in the movie, that "this has given rise to the foolish opinion among Men that there are no dwarf-women, and that dwarves 'grow out of stone' "
Acording to Tolkien's original lore there are just very few of them.

And personaly, I think that Peter Jackson's rendering of the Uruk-Hai was a total succes. So far no other Orc kind has beaten their coolness factor for me.

[Nunizillion]

Keep 'em blad I says. although I dont think some facial hair would be bad. A big pepery mustache would be kinda cool. Give him an authority figure feel about him (ala generic cop with mustache). I doubt games workshop would lynch mythic for allowing them to have some facial hair.

[Krulltak]

And personaly, I think that Peter Jackson's rendering of the Uruk-Hai was a total succes. So far no other Orc kind has beaten their coolness factor for me.

He renedered the Uruk-hai as just another group of cannon fodder with a fancy name. A freaking HOBBIT killed one! And Legolas was slaughtering them by the thousands! That's nothing like the book version!

[NoneSuch]

Aye they are pathetic, I've been playing lotr recently - and I would suggest any PVP fan to check out the monster zones . It certainly isn't REAL or true pvp , but it's enjoyable once you get a ton of heroes running about.

They can capture your castles , which require a raid of monsters to retake. It's alot of fun really.

I'm a Uruk Warleader and can't wait for the pvp to really begin , once more heroes get level 45 - 50

Fair enough, I had my share of revange in EA's LOTR BFME

[Dracnye]

Bald, with full beard, facial hair FTW

[WarderDragon]

Evidently not the most popular view, but I personally wouldnt mind there being the choice of facial and head hair for the War Priest class. I dont claim to be an expert on the Warhammer IP, but I havent seen anything in the Warhammer lore saying that baldness is a universal trait of all War Priests, even in physical description sections (whereas, in contrast, the lore clearly speaks of universal traits of other classes, such as the long flowing manes and beards of the Priesthood of Ulric), and all War Priests looking so much alike seems a bit weird to me. I can just see it now:

"A new age is dawning...an age of freedom! And all shall know that 300 bald-guys gave their last breath to defend it!"

I admit, I am a bit vain, but I would prefer my War Priest to have hair, no different than any other Empire-ling. Everyone being the same is fiendishly boring, which was something that I utterly despised about WoW...EQ2...and the list goes on. I already am probably going to have reletively the same armor and appearance as just about every other War Priest, so let me control my physical features, hehe. Hair-etic? I welcome the idea *Shrugs* Being a roleplayer, differences are fun. I could just imagine the more traditional bald War Priests thinking of my character as some uncouth renegade, a blasphemer or something of the sort. Could be fun. *Chuckles*

"What is that upon your head, youngling? Hair!? How can you hear our great lord Sigmar with that mop growing from thy cranium! I shall smite thee for thy insolence!"
"Uhhhh..." *points to his ears* "...isn't this what these are for?"

So yeah... Head and Facial Hair!

[Kaeldurn]

Bald with some facial hair.

I may have to keep my noggin' shaved to hear sigmar, but i'm fairly sure some facial fur will disrupt his signal.:rolleyes:

[Snoepie]

offcourse bald with some facial hair :D

[Der_Eisenhans]

Bald, no facial hair.

Old School :cool:

[Gorrr]

Bald of all possible hair. It is the proper way and it is the lore of Warhammer.
What about hair thats not on the head? lol
>_>

[Lordhelsby]

Full body wax my friend, what if Sigmar's voice was hiding in your armpits?

I think no hair, its just not as iconic if the warrior priests (male and female) don't live up to the nickname baldy.

[Krulltak]

Full body wax my friend, what if Sigmar's voice was hiding in your armpits?

I.


This man knows the ways of Sigmar! Sigmar speaks where he pleases! SHAVE YOURSELF.

[Captain Amerika]

Can't listen to Sigmar with all that hair in the way. That's all I've got to say.

[Fingo]

all ive got to say on the matter is that if the men gotta shave so does the ladies and well i dont see that happening in this kind of game.

[Buucho]

Sure, the lore says no hair, the figurine/models they are based off of have no hair. But given, this game is an MMO so most people who play WP will be playing them for more than a few days, of course there comes the topic of to make your character unique...

However, one thing that you could do with the original figurines, was paint thier faces.

This is still a little vague to me. What does lore say about facial tattoos?

[Volcano Mentality]

Hahaha!!! That's great... "Uhhhh..." *points to his ears* "...isn't this what these are for?"

I agree with you in that we should have the choice, and I too enjoy the thought of being a renegade Warrior Priest, though not entirely blasphemous. My character already has an off name; Dante the Crusader. So being an oddity with appearance will be a fun addition. I'd prefer short cut/cropped hair with no facial hair, as I look in RL, though I won't mind being bald.

[sonofsigmar]

i think that the lore wont allow hair of any kind on guys. but i have a suggestion.

maybe they have to make twice as many facial models for the WP, because i agree it sucks to look like everyone else, even in WoW i can remember meeting one paladin like myself who looked EXACTLY like me down to the boots gloves helmet and face. the only thing that differed between us was the tabard, i mean even the cloak was the same. i remember the two toons staring at each other for like 2 min, before the battleground queue came up. that was kinda funny.

ahem back to the point. now if everyone in WAR looked like everyone else, this game would be tremendously boring. no on wants that. if Mythic and Games Workshop decided bald, no facial hair was the way to go, then they would need the option of a million facial models for the WP, tatoos, scars and other modifiers to offset the loss of facial and head hair.

on the whole i dont think people will die if the IP utterly refuses male WPs to have hair. therefore the more facial models they can get the better, and ideas for battle-scars, tatoos and special markings on the face would profit them.

i just hope hair/no hair isnt game-breaking.

[Rofllove]

Bald/Shaved, No Facial Hair, when I think of monks/priests from the middle ages I always think of them this way. If I ever played the class I would have to play them this way or not at all.

[Nordland Infantry]

I like bald, with no facial hair worrior priests. It makes them stand out

[Kopesh]

I don't care!

Or atleast that's what I voted. :p As I problably will choose another character I won't have to think about this. However, the typical Warrior Priest are bald with no facial hair. I think it suits them.

[Shade076]

I voted hair and facial hair. I understand people only want the hairless for a reason but then I feel like they would be missing a chunk of customization that other classes have. However I hear armor will enable everyone to look different. Though by saying hair and facial hair I'm assuming one can select any look, including bald.

[Skalding]

Bald/Shaved, No Facial Hair, when I think of monks/priests from the middle ages I always think of them this way. If I ever played the class I would have to play them this way or not at all.

I want to be Friar Tuck as a Warrior Priest. Though I suppose there may minor differences between Friars and Monks. All Friars are Monks, but not all Monks are Friars? That may be it.

Anyway, the point being, I'm in support of giving them both types of hair. While more often that not low-ranking Warrior Priests are seen hairless, the Grand Theogonist Volkmar is both the possessor of a Mustache and of the in-game status of Warrior Priest (At least, Rules for Warrior Priests do apply to him.)

http://us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/empire/gaming/specialcharacters/volkmar.htm
That's Volkmar.

Now, the other character I'd like to mention is Valten. He is not technically a Warrior Priest, just the Exalted of Sigmar. With that title alone, he would be considered a great inspiration to all followers of Sigmar, especially the Warrior Priests. Luthor Huss was a big admirer if I recall, throwing himself at Archaon after he struck down Valten. I wouldn't be suprised if the regulations for Warrior Priests were lifted in recognition of the service Valten provided to the Empire. Consider it their way of honoring him, and no longer shaving themselves Bald is required.

http://us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/empire/gaming/valten_exalted/default.htm
That be Valten. With Long hair and a full Beard.

Just my thoughts.

[Quincey]

I'm gonna have to go with bald too if I would play one.
But facial hair may be required for a somewhat unique character.

[Khargas]

I would suggest allowing options for bald, monk tonsure and close buzzcut hair. Warrior priests should be all about function over form, and long hair gets in the way and promotes vanity. Facial hair should be absent for similar reasons.

[Hatemonger]

There exists WP with facial hair in the IP though.

I haven't seen any with a "buzz cut". If anything, facial hair should be an option before any hair on their heads should.

[Quincey]

By the way, how will the helmets look like?
I know there is that "crown" whatever it's called but I don't think I've seen any other types of headwear.

[Hatemonger]

If they aren't including hair, then I definitely doubt they will include helms. That little headband is the most I think you can hope for, and I personally wouldn't want to wear that silly thing.

[Quincey]

I found this old concept art picture from october 2006.
http://www.warhammeronline.com/english/media/conceptArt/full/1006Emp01.jpg

So we might see CAPS ingame, oh yeah, leather caps
I guess I'm ok with that aslong it sticks to the lower ranks.

[Amund]

I plan to be going full bald, and bare of facial hair. I hope there's a wax ability..

[Khanstorm]

Bald w/ facial hair definitely.

Sigmar wants to see them beards.

[Boris Olfhamar]

Meh, bald + full beard for the ultimate win. Sigmar was a devout Ulrican, and I see this whole thing as Ulric being God, he sends down Sigmar (Jesus) to save mankind, Sigmar then ascends to heaven and is crowned by Ulric. And my WP worships both equally. Shaved bald for Sigmar and hopefully I can sport that huge beard for Ulric. Plus, if every Warrior Priest is bald, despite how many facial options there are, 10 WP's will look like a mass of bald clones, regardless. Tatoos would be sweet, might be out of the question for WP's though, scars also.

[V'raneth]

haircuts shouldn't be an option.

[Thoden Firehammer]

You never mentioned of what religious cult, you just said Warrior priests.
If they make an interesting Dyeing system and if i'm allowed to have hair i'm going to make one of these.

[Okri]

The Warrior Priests in WAR are all Sigmarites. And Sigmarite Warrior Priests are bald per definition. Nor do they have facial hair.
Though maybe they could have hair, for the first few levels or so.

How about females? I know they can have hair, but can they be bald? Baldness should at least be an option for female WPs.

[Grimfell Gromgear]

Definitely, bald chicks are very distinctive, more so then bald men. Actually, to be perfectly frank I've always liked the look (though I can have odd tastes.)

Anyways, yes, bald. Bald all the time! And their head should get shinier as they level up. Shiny shiny shiny bald heads!

[Boris Olfhamar]

Volkmar, the head of the Church of Sigmar, the Grand Theogonist sports a moustache and full beard, so do not say all Sigmarite holy men are bald, their LEADER isn't. The Order of the Silver Hammer requires baring the head of hiar, that does not necessarily mean facial hair, but just their cranium. Furthermore, Sigmar had a flowing head of hair. To limit WP's to being purely bald would be stupid, it doesn't matter how many facial options there are, you don't look at players close up the majority of the time and a group of WP's would just look like a bunch of bald guys with no diferentation amongst them except their armor. And I highly doubt all WP's are perfectely clean-shaven all the time, during war they would get grizzly, or just not bother shaving, I don't think it's heresy. Bald + Beards ftw!

Also...if Sigmar is Sigmar, I don't think he gives a damn about your hair as long as you're spreading his word and fighting in his name.

[Okri]

Hmm, good point about the moustache thing. Though whether or not Sigmar himself had hair is irrelevant, as they don't do it to make themselves images of Sigmar.
Now, the reason they do it, is so that they can more easily "hear" Sigmar speaking to them. For a Warrior Priest not to be bald, there would have to be some doubt or disagreement about this, or there are simply some Priests who think they hear Sigmar quite clearly as it is, keeping the hair to act as "sound dampener". Either case is not unlikely, so I suppose there could be hairy Warrior Priests.

[heavyhebrew]

Bald is beautiful!

[Yavvy]

They could have a mustache or a beard, maybe a braid on a small part of the head or a fringe of hair (leaving most of the head bald).

Baldness should be an option for females, but won't be required as all screenshots of female WPs have shown them with hair.

[Insight]

Bold - Cool.
Facial Har - Cool.
Bold + Facial Har - Ownage.

I want to be bold and have a large beard, for Sigmar the hairless!

[Kermichil]

Bald...everywhere... :lol:

[MalakLP]

Bald, w/ 5 o'clock shadow

[Mr Dreadful]

While bald and clean shaven is canon for Sigmarite Warrior Priests, who's to say that an individual player won't want to represent a Warrior Priest of Ulric for example?

Let the players choose... at least that way all the Warrior Priests won't look exactly the same!

[Caululithrax]

I say Bald and Clean Shaven. Maybe Tattoos or Scars on the face (or combination) instead of "Hair" and "Facial Hair". Idk about the tattoos, but Scars are sign of battle seasoned warriors.

[Alasdair]

i wanna be a priest of morr! only problem is that priests of morr arent fighters :(

also, shouldnt female warrior preists be warrior nuns? :P

and in the warhammer rulebook it shows a picture of Sigmar WITH hair (it down to his shoulders :P)

[Unwise]

Bald of all possible hair. It is the proper way and it is the lore of Warhammer.

Youch! No wonder the Warrior Priests are so angry. They have to give themselve Brazilian Waxs?

No quiet sure what lore you have been reading Krulltak. I don't remember Sigmar making a commandment against eyebrows or "Though shall get a back, s*** and crack wax on every holy day!"

That would be enough to make me become a heretic.

[Snuggans]

hmm, i was not expecting that big of a percentage to actually follow the lore.
then again, i suppose a big percentage of the forumers here are warhammer fans since the game is not out yet.

as for me, i'll take a full head of hair. i would like to see the attempts at a bald female avatar..

[Yinn]

I picked B because its what i am.

Very very very short hair and a goatee

[Goldenheart]

Sigmar damn you warrior priests! The reason sigmar never returned from the worlds edge mountains was because you don't look cool enough! Grow a beard, and Sigmar shall return and greatly reward you priests

[Earth Dragon]

It's all part of the identification on sight. If you see a bald guy with no helm, then you are looking at a Warrior Priest.

So there ya go.

[Gorrr]

Give me affros and handlebar mustaches! :mrgreen:

That would look... wierd...

I voted for bold/shaved, as long as their heads dont look 100% the same.

[Jagatai]

Bold, no beard, and that metal sweatband thing. Awesome.

Females... well, they should probably have hair...





and in the warhammer rulebook it shows a picture of Sigmar WITH hair (it down to his shoulders :P)

He was also essentially naked, and fighting with a jawbone. What of it? :p

[Squidboy]

I want my WP to look as much like an old man as much as possible so I went with hair and facial hair.

...Maybe I should have gone no head hair but a super long beard...

[The Penguin Hunter]

The problem for Warrior priests of Sigmar is that they are ususaly bald for religious purposes.

However I intend (if possable) to make a warrior priest of Ulric, which means a nice beards( if possable) however I still think the top of his head might be bald

[Berrik]

Gunna have to go with a skullet and a Hitler mustache.

However if that particular style combo is not possible, I would want long gray hair (ponytail, highly doubt this will be possible) , and 5 o'clock shadow, anyone who questions my faith will get a face full of hammer.

Have to have some variation between the wp's, sure bald follows the lore, but I can't imagine them restricting all wp's to be bald, they would all look like clones. Especially with no option for a helmet.

[Abfeuern]

Unfortunately, it's Warrior Priest of Sigmar, hence the hammer, major usage of Sigmarite icona, the spells even (i.e. <Not available name with Sigmar in it> or something of that name was the ressurection spell. Seriously).

[RadioNinja]

If the males have to be bald, the females have to be bald.

They already are breaking the lore.

Ahh but there are custimization options, and if they allow facial hair and I am allowed to color my armor namely the robe blue, and mind you Ulricites use Hammerers as well, and also if I may be able to use an axe.

Alot of "ifs" indeed but it would be nice if I could do that, albiet i'm probably stuck with the Sigmar Icons

As awesome as it would be if you could do this, it's never going to happen. Perhaps it's just as well or we'd have lots of players who don't know any better running around in a blasphemous combination of the sacred garments of Sigmar and Ulric.

Never say no untill you actualy hit the brick wall...as painfull as it sounds I intend to find out, in either case I like both Sigmar and Ulric so it wont be as painfull :P

[Khozen]

Bald without facial hair makes sense to me, it sort of fits the monk feel. Just my perspective.

[OrphanMaker]

Bald with facial scars if possible

[Godsfist999]

I think it doesn't matter if they're bald or hairy its a facial characteristic not a damage or healing characteristic. I suppose from the facts you should have them bald but hair doesn't hurt. What happens if you play your character, hes bald but you grow into not liking and then you hate it.

[coled]

I know everyone thinks one thing or the other, but im sure its more likely mythic will allow for hair on head and face , cause there wouldnt be much customization above the shoulders if all of them had to be bald. Plus, i think spikey or mohawk hair or just any hair on the head with phat go-tee looks better than a bald person any day ; )

[teh_perfesser]

Our Community has an important question on their mind for a really long time now. The time has finally come to ask you: just why are there Sigmarpriests with Hair? (on their head, you know..)

When you’re on battlefield, you need to keep your blade sharp for killing the enemy – not grooming yourself.

Also, this was an area where the Games Workshop didn’t demand that we restrict players out of respect for the IP, so we chose to give players more options as a result. Games Workshop has consistently supported us when we’ve asked to make small changes to the “standard” vision of Warhammer in order to make the experience of WAR as an MMORPG more enjoyable for players.
From this source (http://war.mondespersistants.com/?article=332&page_art=2).

[Gemini]

Well, that would be a fine explination if, ya know, they carried blades. But whatever, that dosn't matter, interesting to read though. Well, there we have it, WPs can have hair, males and females.

Not sure if I like the reasoning too much here, heh. There must be a careful balance between respect for the IP and "MMONESS" but I think they should've stuck to their guns on this one and only allowed the less devoted females to have hair. ;) I mean they might as well be paladins now running around with their shoulder length blond hair preaching about the "Light" and how its not a religion. If I ever roll one he's going to be bald and -perhaps- some facial hair, but more than likely none.

Customisation means a lot in MMOs so I'm quite sure there will be the option to have hair. I also hope female warrior priestesses will have the option to be bald (think Natalie Portman).

I may make a bald female WP named Jeanne D'Arc just for the hell of it.

[Iain]

no hair, this represents the amount of fear he has.
this class is the one i am looking foward to the most.
reminds me of palidans from dnd
i cant wait

[Lucrece]

By such lines of logic, then female WP's should be bald and lack gender-defining armor as well...

I'd like the options to allow for hair/bald for both male and female WP's.

[Rhavez]

so for hairstyles you're gonna be able to choose from 20 different set of eyebrows instead?
or are those shaved too?

[Dunhill]

I chose bald and facial hair.

I'd like at least a clean shaven goatee and mustache. Like a small beard on my humans.

And if i so chose to play a female, can she be bald too?

Yep, but she dosn't have to be either.

[Divinus]

Wouldn't mind seeing the haircut styles available... but if they're too corny I'll probably go the traditional bald look all the way.

[SteveX]

I say bald w/o facial hair.

It just fits them. When I think of a WP I think of a pious warrior who goes from smashing your head in with his hammer to praying for your sould, all in the same moment. No hair just fits that, in my mind anyway. It gives that scary, don't mess with me looks (like the big bald bouncer at the club) and the spiritually enlightened look (like a shoalin monk...who are also very deadly).

[Kaeldorn]

If war priests were forced to be completely bald I'd probably not play one, for the reason of 'clones' which so many have mentioned before already.

Though all the moustaches and hairstyles on male empire citizens so far look a bit too funky and/or snobbish to suit a war priest in my opinion :p Should be simple, short hair (if any at all) and goatees / full beards in my opinion.

[Mapex]

I'm going bald with the metal headband. It only makes sense.

[GrumpyJester]

I'm going for a lot of hair, just because I think the average Warrior Priest will be of the bold variety. I like a bit more unique look, especially since Warrior Priests seem to be a pretty common class choice already.

[danix]

first post =P ^^

I'll do my warrior priest bald with white beard, like the img when you enter empire in their site. but if we could have hair i would go for it, but i think its better we be bald, but bal bold, ow really... =/ and sigmar isn't bald so...

sad the paladin in WoW is nice, but the of neutral factions and cooperation stinks, wow is nthing without allaince Xhorde, and yet they made arena... world of WARcraft is becoming world of ARENAcraft... =/

btw danix from archimonde ^^

[Necrotoxin]

Bald/no facial hair.

[CaptainAwesome]

Bald with the CE Empire head, 40K Chaplain anyone?

My 2 Awesomes

[Roargh Growler]

Long hair, and a Beard to match Gandalf.

[Fusko]

Give me affros and handlebar mustaches! :mrgreen:

Gah, I'm surprised this thread has been going for close to a year now. /applaud

I still stand by what I said, though.

Made a big lol at that one.

Bald+no facial hair - as it should be. At the moment, my only concern is getting a platemail chest piece - no idea why it has to come soooo late in the levels.

Honestly, at first I didn't know much about the Warhammer Lore, and was pretty annoyed that there were no hair options. HOWEVER, after playing the game and getting into the lore more I find that I'm glad there is no hair options for the male WP, and the "Crown" graphic is cool enough for me. Although, I did pick the goatee to make my toon look not like everyone elses. But still, I think they could maybe put some different head ornaments in the game, but should leave the men bald.
