If you could only play humans and one other race, which would it be?

Using the FFG forums from an iPad is a tremendous pain and is ALMOST enough to drive me away from posting. Too many flaming hoops to jump through to make it work. Please, someone up there, can you make the forums a little more iPad friendly?

6' 4'' blue-skinned elves on steroids.  Either that or celestial aliens.

I would have to go with Wood Elves.

You don't need another race..;) All our games are with humans.

But seriously, a dwarf is the most natural companion (if we talk about Empire).

One ninja is a lethal opponent, ten ninjas just a hindrance.

I'd have to say Dwarf too! That is if we are talking about humanoids. Bit I find the suggestions on other creatures such as the Fimir, very interesting :-)

Dwarfs.

 

In my opinion, the Warhammer Dwarf is the best dwarf design in fantasy today. I don't just mean backgroundwise, but physically as well. They aren't just shor potbellied humans, their shoulders are wider than a Middenheimers, their hands are huge and their backs full of muscle. They look COOL and HARD. They are like a short human orc in physiology and musculature.

 

Their psychology is extremely well defined and very interesting. The slayers are cool, but I find the inherent dwarf psychology that leads to being a slayer more interesting.

 

I also like the Warhammer Elf, because they've done a great job of making them alien in mind and body. Their bodies are inhumanly narrow yet possess a power equivalent to the strongest men. Their background is great and punctuated with sorrow and despair.

If, in order to make a live action movie you would have to CGI elves and dwarfs because it would be impossible for humans to play them, then I think you've got a great fantasy setting. They aren't merely humanoids, they are whole different species. That aspect is what I like about them so much.

 

 

But as I like dwarfs more than elves, I would go with dwarfs. A dwarf is accorded great respect by Empire humans. They are seen as an asset and amazing friends to have.

 

But mainly because warhammer dwarfs are just so well put together. Their strengths and stand out features so heavily overshadow a lot of the comedic qualities of dwarfs that you don't really notice them.

 

In Soviet Warhammer Dwarf tosses YOU. And that is all that needs to be said about why Warhammer Dwarfs are so much better than everyone else's.

Humans and Dwarfs......but a Lustrian campaign could be fun and then tribesmen and either pygmies or Amazons

My previous post is in the wrong thread. Sorry. But everything I wrote is still awesome.

Skaven?

 

Who doesn't love a race with 42 different words for "freindly fire".

The call of cthulluh huh? Yeah I heard about it too.

"Oh I love you."

"Of course it wasn't just a one night thing."

Do I get a bit of call back?

Correction, I will change my response from "Evil Bread-man" to Skaven instead. Gotta love those rats!
