Will they be able to have hair (as an option) [Archive]

I wan't to look more like Sigmar, or at least more like I do in RW.
Thoughts?

I hope Warrior Priest can actually have hair. Don't really want to go around bald lol. But yeah they can't talk to Sigmar through a helm but hair shouldn't be a problem imo:rolleyes: .

How is Sigmar supposed to talk to you in your head with all that hair in the way?

At least someone understands!

Seriously though, I think it would be a bit anti-IP if the male WPs could have much in the way of hair. It's just not really appropriate, as the baldness is a key trait of the male ones, and the female ones are likely to have some fairly dowdy haircuts I'd suggest.

I mean, they're Friar Tuck with a Vengeance, not Fabio with a Bible.

PS - It'd be really nice if they could have very SHORT hair and it actually looked good for once, rather than like thick textured paint, but that might require use of a shader, and it seems that Mythic has foresworn those.

I agree with you on the whole thing and definitly letting Warrior Priest have short hair. As long as they have some hair...lol

No, no hair at all! THE CONCEPT ART FOR FEMALE WARRIOR PREISTS IS HERETICAL! All WPs should be bald, it's the only way to do it correctly! I demand baldness, especially on the females!

I believe you are able to cosumise your character the way you please it to be (ofcourse set in the limits of the race customisation)
But because of lore reasons I think my Warrior priest will be the first main character I ever created Bald.

For example I can show you that the female Warrior priests in these concept drawings have hair on their scalps:

I'm cool with bald, but I'm also hoping there is an option for the light-stubble look of a shaved head just starting to grow hair back - as though the WP has been to busy bashing enemies of the Empire to shave for the past week or two.

There's some artwork of Luthor Huss that has it.

Sin Dantes

That haircut does not add anything, but make them look even uglier than they already are.

blodtang

02-04-2007, 03:34 PM

They wouldn't suit hair; shaved to spanking bald should be the options. I think that look suits the warrior priest very well; I would hate to see them with long hair. As for females, well they're always represented in mmo's having perfect figures etc; as such baldness for them isn't likely, but shave the women I say! Priests need not worry about the temptations of the flesh; we have more important things to frolic in, like smashing heretics, mutants and anything squidgy.

It hasn't been said if Warior Preists (the males anyway, the heretical females have already been shown with hair, thus Sigmar isn't really talking to them, and they promote blasphamy refering to themselves as preists of Sigmar!) can have hair yet, so you really just pulled that out your rear end.

1- They don't count as official warrior preist(ess).

2- I hope you realize the Sisters of Sigmar were burned for heresy, as hair is not allowed on those who wish to become preists of Sigmar..........oh and. yeah, they were female.

Hey, I have that model. It predates the current warrior priest aesthetic though, I always assumed Volkmar was just bald from age. Perhaps it was this model that inspired them to shave every priest of Sigmar. They didn't get much representation on the tabletop until Mordheim came out, after all.

I don't even think it's written down anywhere that warrior priests must be bald. By all accounts Sigmar had plenty of flowing locks himself.

Actually it is written down, somwhere, just look around. HOW are you suppose to hear Sigmar speaking to you when YOU HAVE HAIR, HERETIC?!

And yeah, Sigmar and the hair he stole from Adonis........ None beleived him a God at the time, he didn't beleive himself a God at the time. He worshipped Ulric, the God of big weapons and fuzzy beards, hence the hair of Sigmar.

Well, I could see them having to shave their heads to let Sigmar's voice in, but facial hair being ok. Although Sigmar was clean-shaven.

Evander

02-26-2007, 03:33 AM

Keep in mind that we are not the avatars of Sigmar, we are merely his humble servants. Thus our apperance has nothing to do with how Sigmar looked like. The Emperor Karl Franz is chosen by Sigmar, not we.
But I keep thinking that our apperance must be clean and shaved. I am going to be bald, yes, but I'm also going to take some facial hair. It's the manly road.

The solution again is quite SIMPLE. The females can have ugly looking (like the concept art) WIGS! Yes! Wigs of Sigmar! Instead of having that little hat thing to cover their head that the males have in several pictures they should have wigs! Seriously they need to be bald, this is the IP uniqueness to classes they've been saying, Magus ALWAYS on discs these priests BETTER be bald.

Hats are easily removable...maybe they don't need to be in constant contact with Sigmar.

By the way, I'm a newbie when it comes to warhammer, are you guys being serious when you talk about them needing to be bald to talk to Sigmar or is it an inside joke?

Of course you'd need to be in constant contact with Sigmar! what if something important comes up and he needs to tell you about it? Its like leaving your cellphone at home, you never know who might call and when. If hair is for heretics, so are hats. WP shouldnt need hats anyways... I mean, look at the WP in the trailer. If sigmar lit his hammer on fire then sigmar should be able to keep the heads of his priests warm too :D

Evander

03-07-2007, 02:52 AM

Maybe they are shaved where you can`t see it. Who knows.

I don't think that Sigmar will be contacting them 'there' now... unless that is what their Sisterhood is all about, but then it is more or less obvius that it's a Slanesh cult.

On a less sexual orientated note:-

"Sigmar speaks to me trough my armpits!"

No hair for males, nor females.

Baldness is one of those iconic things about the WP, just as much as the hammer or the plethora of insignias.

No, I don't think facial hair would work out either. Not for any lore reason, but it just doesn't look right. I mean, Warrior Priests of Ulric are suppose to be the hairy ones, with massive white beards like vikings.

I demand Warrior Priestesses with sexy shaved heads! Long hair just gets in the way of beating the crap out of things, and can get caught in armor.

I wouldn't want really long beards on warrior-priests either. But that doesn't mean you can't have goatees or mustaches.

There's two reasons I think facial hair should be in:

1) There's nothing in the lore prohobiting facial hair on warrior-priests, in fact, there is an examples of a warrior-priest having facial hair. If you check out the Volkmar model, he's got a pretty nice mustache going.

2) Facial hair would mean more customization. Granted, facial customization isn't the most important customization in WAR, but still, no hair AND no facial hair would mean every male warrior-priest would look very similar outside of their armor.

So, I'd understand why someone might not want facial hair, but there's no reason, at least in the lore, to not have it as an option.

I want facial hair, biggest reason is because I'm a faicial hair man myself and I want my WP to depict that bit of me.
Seccond is because else all WPs will look alike, evne in the face...

Being a Warrior Priest isn't about looking good.
It's about ensuring that you and your team looks much better than the other one after the fight.

The best way to achieve this is: Beating their faces to a pulp with a big hammer (confirmed scientifically by centuries of dwarven studies) ;)

But I agree, I dislike the Female WP Sketches as well, because of their hair. It's just stupid inconsequent ... bad stuff. Either shave the females as well, or give the Male ones hair as well. Either follow the lore, or don't, but don't mix it -.-

Gemini

Not being a TT player, I don't know much about the lore, but from what I hear, neither gender should have hair on their scalps. Ornate tattoos, facial hair, circlets, and other head decorations could be done for customization in place of hair. As said before, they are priests, they don't care if they look good or not, they just want to purge evil. From what I've seen, being bald is just part of the inconic look of the WPs, and Mythic said they were going for inconic looks.

That being said, does anyone have a link to the actual lore that says warrior priests can't have hair? I've seen links to figurines and all that, and plenty of people insisting the lore says that, but no actual links or quotes from any source.

Gasher

03-27-2007, 12:53 PM

i think the warrior priests are a little bit like crusading monks and monks are usually bald! but maybe there could be wigs that you could buy from vendors in-game i think that would be quite funny and cool as they are pressing on the characters being all different in look which EAmythic thinks is important so if all the warrior priests looked bald that would hinder it gravely...

Not in Warhammer, there's the general "elves are always better" going on ofc, but comparing statwise its really easy to prove the rumour false. Lorewise it's somewhat harder, not so many stories about that tells of any men fighting elves. Got one in the 6th edition rulebook though where a goblin boss zaps a High elf noble pretty bad.

But then again, rethinking that, powerful WPs like Luthor are pretty tough, taking on lesser daemons and all.

Luthors statline in my 6th edition book was nothing to cheer about though :P a few +1 here and there but nothing else to really take him over any other WP for the extra points he took. Haven't really read up on all of his lore, /boo for me :/

And you thus help me in proving to everyone that warrior priests are NOT THAT POWERFUL.........nor are any Imperials, combat-wise anyway.

Also, it has been stated that elves are the most skilled and talented of warriors in the known world, or at least on par with dwarfs. Elves sure as hell aren't the best (although the pompous fancy pants sure like to think so), but they are highly skilled in many fields, as well as being built to move swifter than a human.

Oh and yes, I think that was Grom the Paunch you are speaking of?

However, you do prove the point that, as in real life, concepts such as "skill" or "power" are all relative in Warhammer, and while it is more likely for one species to be one way, it does not mean the other species can not rival that species in a certain field.

It would seem as if I have misinterpreted your post :P I thought you meant more specific individuals and not foot soldiers, my apologiez.

On that note yes you're right the elves have some of the better troops in WH with high move, ws, bs and i stats but a little lacking in the toughness.

On the goblin I tried to carefully read the short story but it didn't give a name on the goblin, the elf was named Elennion. However Grom was the warboss of the goblin tribes who lives in Ulthuan at least until Eltharion slew him so it would very well have been him who possessed such magic items.

I would definately like there to be some variations in Warrior Priests, would be a little bland if everyone went around looking the exact same except for their armor, cause you know all bald guys look alike hehe.

I dont think there would be any harm in letting us choose different types of facial hair that arn't to extreme or long.

They could also let use choose variations in our baldness, maybe like a 5 o'clock shadow bald and then the gleaming blinding bald head, and then they have those circlets which could add some diversity, as well as scars, scars galore!

Now, it's hard to be certain if that's a Warrior Priest or not, but it sure looks like it (notice the twin-tailed comet at the base of the robe). And even if it is, it could mean nothing, other than they're not limiting the hair options yet. But, just thought it was interesting.

How odd. Especially if you look at the character face at the bottom of the screen, that shouts Warrior Priest to me. One explanation is that as a starting character, you have hair, but that one of the rituals you undertake as a novice WP is to shave your head. To the tune of "White Rabbit."

Well, I don't know if you guys saw it, but in the video on Youtube, the Warrior Priest had hair and a mustache.

Yes. As a starting character. I imagine one is shaved when you gain ranks.

That would be a horrible way to show progression, the more powerfull you get the bald you get lol.

Agree about facial hair...
If you have hair doesn't mean you are hair-etic!! :)

OMG I would love to go bald in the name of Sigmar as I gained levels. That'd be so badass. It's like constantly communicating on higher levels with Sigmar causes you to lose hair. On the other hand, why do the chicks get to keep their Beatles cuts? If the lore states that we should be bald, we should be bald. Just give us customization to make up for it.

Hair or not, it won't stop us Chosen bash you in the head with OUR Mace, as shown in the trailer...

Back to the topic......WP are not bald, they are cleanly shaved. And Cleanly Shaved they must. Or it would be like asking for female orks. Or Male Dark Elf Sorcer.

Of course they did...

You do know that it's illegal to be a male sorcerer in Naggaroth - you get hunted down by the Witch King. I can imagine one or two in hiding , but not hundreds!

As for the Warrior Priest, I like the idea of you losing hair as you gain levels. It could be ritual, or just a side effect of Sigmar's power coursing through your body!
