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

I think that dwarfs are the right choice.

Thematically, in the same group, Dwarfs are the only group that really makes sense given that they both live in the Empire.

 

But Skaven if we're just picking playable races. ALWAYS the Skaven.

Chaos Dwarves - love the pointy hatted Babylonian thing going on there.

I'd like to play as a Snotling.

Imagine the cool adventures you could have as one... surviving a Blood Bowl match as the ball would be just one possibility.

Dwarves are my favorite race.

 

We've never had any players as skaven in our group, but that would be my third choice, I suppose.  Could be fun.

Using the Chicago method of voting, I say Dwarfs again. 

Skaven never caught my fancy.  Smelly big rats.

Yes, smelly big rats that eats warpstone, are total cowards the lot of them, uses alchemical technology that is just as likely to damage themselves than their enemies, have a rather peculiar way of speaking, oh! And the have NINJAS as well!

What's not to like?

Halflings. Definitely halflings.

Speaking of Skaven, warpstone, and all that, Varnias - there is a book out by C.L. Werner called Grey Seer.  It looks to follow the exploits of Thanquol, from the Felix and Gotrek books.  Have you read that, by chance? I am curious as to what fans of the skaven think of the book.  I have seen it but haven't purchased it yet (trying to get through a daunting stack of Steven Erikson novels first).

Nope, haven't read it. the only Black Library books i've read have been focused on the WH40K setting. But if there's a Skaven book for the fantasy setting then I might actually give that one a go. Still, im not that big of a fan of the Warhammer fantasy setting in general, but Skaven are certainly one of the parts I like about it.

I have read a number of the fantasy books.  Had never read the WH40K fiction until I picked up Double Eagle, by Dan Abnett.  I really liked that one so I'm thinking of reading the Gaunt's Ghosts books.

Oh you're in for a treat mate. Read EVERYTHING by Dan Abnett and you won't be disappointed. Gaunt's Ghosts, Eisenhorn and Ravenor are highly recommended. (Although im still working through ravenor and Gaunt's Ghosts, but so far I have never been disappointed by Abnett)

However don't forget the Ciaphas Cain novels by Sandy Mitchell either, while maybe not so dead serious all the time like Abnett's books are, they're still a lot of fun to read.

Sounds good Varnias.  I will check out the Ciaphas Cain novels as well (I've seen them on the shelves).  I'm looking forward into reading the WH40K fiction.

High Elves, because I'm a wizard junky.  Sadly, I'm not likely to get a chance to play.  My lot is to be shackled to the GM's throne and rain down unspeakable on my players.
