Whoooa

[Chilltouch]

Yowza. Female dwarves in their dozens and obviously in the game. And boy, do they look awesome.

Although, they do look like they've lost some of their dwarvenly pudge.

[Snorri]

Excellent find!
And yes, looks like some pudge was removed :-\ wonder why...

Ah well, they look like a real dwarf woman should! They look like they could split a skull or two open!

Nice find.

[Cranmer]

Well, i have one issue with them so far - they don't look like woman but rather like young girls! :???: Overall i still think making them playable was a bad idea. :p

[Mwyn]

I really am surprised how cool they look. I had decided I probably wouldn't be playing dwarfs long ago because alot of games make the females look just so..... round or goodness knows the L2 Dwarf women are wrong on so many levels :eek: . I think the WAR female dwarfs look fantastic and I will be playing one for sure eventually. I don't think they look like young girls? Young women sure but not young girls. How young are you thinking they look? I don't want wrinkles in an MMO. Too many of those in real life thank you very much ;)

[Snorri]

Hang on...

Those are a runepriests robes right?
I'm liking the staff... very hammer like!

They should look mean simply to say just like dwarf males. A girlie like that won't even scare a gobbo. :p:lol:

She'll scare him just fine once she's smashed his head in ;)

[System Shock]

They look good, save for one aspect. They appear to be perpetually impregnated! Some of that massive gut needs to be migrated northward; less gut - more bosom please. ;)

They're dwarfs, not porn models, they all have a gut, even if its not fat but muscle for some, they all have guts. Im pretty sure they're not making the models for people to drool over, but for a more "realistic" and true to the sources feel.

[Smachaz]

Its not fat, its just resting muscles thats all.

Whoa whoa - relax, sparky; no need to get all excited. I realize most dwarves are portrayed a bit "well rounded" if you will, but in this case I'd say its a bit much; their guts protrude more than their bosom does, which is not "realistic" or aesthetically pleasing. Their concept art is something they should go for rather:http://www.warhammeronline.com/english/media/conceptArt/full/1006CA01.jpg

Ahh yes, much better. Still obviously a dwarf whilst displaying "womanly charms" quite well. Who says dwarfen women cannot be attractive, and/or well endowed? Dwarfen men surely appreciate a nice looking and well-proportioned dwarfen lass. Most of us men do. ;)

[Snorri]

We should all be as wide as we are tall!!!!!


:cool:

[System Shock]

We should all be as wide as we are tall!!!!!


:cool:

I agree, sure! The width isn't a problem, as they surely have some nice birthing hips! It is all about the bosom-to-stomach ratio! The concept art has it right; the current ingame models do not. A woman with a stomach which protrudes more than her bosom has problems(unless she is simply severely flat-chested).

[Snorri]

Aye I suppose you are right there. There should be a breast-stomach ratio to make things look "even" and as they should do.
Would make them more plump too ;)

Short, wide, and properly proportioned!

I don't think it's too bad though... I'll go have another look. :)

Hmm I have looked a little more closely, and perhaps a minor adjustment would suffice; perhaps a bit more cleavage and bosom protrusion. The pigtails which are sported in all pictures may be obstructing "the view" as well. :D The armor type has also has an effect; the green robe and tan colored engineer's outfit are quite unflattering.

[Bloodstorm]

Good find!

That wrench looks pretty painful. . . it's a damn good thing they're on our side!

[Bolg]

I just hope they have more distinct gender appropriate armor for female dwarfs. Not the same armor worn by the male toons. I want it to look practical, functional and distinctive of the female dwarf. I dont want people looking at my female dwarf toon from a distance thinking "Look at that guy he's one tough looking dwar... Oh it's a girl?! Meh they all look the same..."

I know I've seen female versions of the classes so far in recenty screenies and previous concept sketches but those look little different from their male counterparts to me especially when i imagine them being seen from a distance.

I agree with your sentiment on the matter. A possible solution is one which I've been discussing; as politically incorrect as it may be - a little smaller stomach and a bit bigger bosom, along with armor to display this(lower cut robes; more pronounced bosom on plate) would go a long way towards easy gender identification.

Wait...there are Different Genders of stumpies?

Meh, they all look the same ;)

I may be confusing my fantasy worlds here but I was under the impression that male and female dwarfs were meant to look very similar and hard to differentiate.

[Chilltouch]

You're thinkg about another fantasy. Female WH Dwarfs don't have beards, therefore would be easy to tell apart anyway.

[Snorri]

Deeply mistaken.
In WH males have beards and the females do not.

This is the same in most decent fantasy worlds ;)

[MachiavelliDisciple]

*chuckle* I remember the early Baldur's Gate games when you couldn't even play a female dwarf. Didn't bother me because I was always a human mage but it did ammuse me.

[Snorri]

Really? Didnt know that in BG1 you couldn't play a dwarf, how odd!

I was always a human in that one... switched to dwarf in BGII... much more fun :D Had to replay BG1 as a dwarf of course, still didnt notice that the female option was greyed out!

Quite liked Khelgar's voice in NWN2 too, great character. But Korgan tops them all. ;)

Fairly sure you couldn't, though bare in mind I was ten or eleven at the time.

[Snorri]

I faintly remember something horredous about the dwarf females in BG1...
Actually I think they gave them beards...
I could look, it is still on my comp, but I am lazy :(

*whip* Go man, so I don't have to spend an hour rummaging amongst my old games, then installing it and playing it long enough to find out.

C'mon snorri do it i'll give you a pretty penny if you check it out!

Female dwarves wooh! No more asking if they're a female!

[Okri]

A possible solution is one which I've been discussing; as politically incorrect as it may be - a little smaller stomach and a bit bigger bosom, along with armor to display this(lower cut robes; more pronounced bosom on plate) would go a long way towards easy gender identification.

Listen here, you are focusing on the wrong values. Who cares if her busom is not as pronounced as you'd like? The thing you have to ask yourself is: Can she cook and can she clean?

That's it. And don't let anybody tell otherwise.

On a more serious note: I don't want to Dwarf women to run around in skimpy little outfits, strutting their stuff on the field of battle. That belongs elsewhere, and it's nowhere in Warhammer. Well, maybe with the exception of the Slaanesh and Dark Elves.

[Black Razor]

I am VERY happy with the look of female dwarfs. That other game that shall not be mentioned did horrible jobs on them and though I will miss the EQ days of being beardy I am glad to see beauty returned to the noble dwarfen (screw it ..its DWARVEN DANG IT!) females. One of my .. probably many ..characters will definatly be a dwarf engineer.

[versuvius]

dont female dwarves have beareds as well...not that im into hairy women...shut up...stop looking at me! GET OFF MY BACK!

[Krulltak]

I'd hit it.

[Snorri]

The next fool that states female dwarfs in warhammer have beards, is leaving this thread minus a head.

;)

[versuvius]

hmmmm so the shaver has been discovered by the women MAC 3 TURBO!

[Julius]

I'd hit it.
She'd hit you back though.

[versuvius]

kull you hav more painful places to be hit than she does remember when you elbow is head height their teeth are at goin height heheheh WHERES MY BUGMANS! FIRE ME OUTA THE CATTY-PULT IM BORED!

[Krulltak]

Judging by the un interpretable rambling you just wrote I'm guessing you already had quite alot of Bugmans, enough to get even a dwarf drunk:???:

[Snorri]

No no, Versuvius the Deranged is always like this. :p
Happened after a fatal accident involving the top half his skull being removed by an orc.
He's still breathing though, and still swinging that axe... although due to the lack of functioning cells within his brain after the incident, he is not too good at handling the ale anymore. ;)

[versuvius]

whats that supposed to mean? WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT MY MOTHER! BUGMANS...or a bucket of vodka....snorri likes buckets of vodka...he cant argue

[Krulltak]

Wasn't that me who did that? I then tried to beat him to death wit me own severed arm but he got away, lol.

Dis stuntie be a loonie 'un, I tellz ya!

[Okri]

I've met mules with more intellegence than that lad, I tell you. Heck, I've seen smarter grobi.

[versuvius]

im glad you see it my way kully

[Krulltak]

Did the head injury remove your ability to read the letter r as well?

[versuvius]

u said im a loonie....i agree on so many levels

[Okri]

Also, he seems to think losing is in fact winning... He's convinced he utterly devastated Krulltak with his "Loose Scalp Flying" and "Bleeding from my mouth" moves.

[versuvius]

look having ur head caved in a second time and crawling away after remving his arm is a good victory...oh yeh howd re attaching ur arm go, did u use the temple of RUM AND GOLD i did....exelent work of having my head put back together

[Krulltak]

I'z replaced me arm wit a big choppa!

[versuvius]

wow...is it s rune choppa...i think i will use double rune war hammers! uber heavy on the chaos plane but light here...yeh one touch boom!

[Krulltak]

Runes iz a weedy stuntie magik! Orcz use da powa o' da WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

[versuvius]

hmmm well wouldnt waaaaaaaaaaagh + runes be even better want me to put the master rune of death o it...its sort of an upward arrow with bits at the ends

[Black Razor]

I just want to be clear I never want to see dwarfen females like this in game..
