What would your guys' opinions be on having stormvermin with tail weapon attacks. Basically it's an extra attack at strength 3 but at the WS (4 for stormvermin usually but 5 for queek's bodyguard) and initiative (5 for stormvermin) of the user. I figure if the points are added to it that it could work although considering these attacks won't go beyond one rank most likely it won't be super potent. However it would give an extra punch for an extra point or two (dunno how effective it'd be unless points are adjusted accordingly).

Yeah if the points were balanced it would be a really cool idea

Best idea ever.

Skaven jet packs.... man I would start a Skaven army just to field them.

Warhammer's Dwarfs are more Nordic than Celtic, but that brings up an interesting point; where are the Celts in the Old World?

Wood elves, probably.

Wood Elves are inspired mostly by the North American tribes.

I'd never get tail weapons on Stormvermin; +1S3 attack for 1pt/model is not worth it. On unit of 40, I'd rather get an extra 5 bodies with a few points to spare.
At 1/2pt /model, I'd consider it, but I don't think it'd be very balanced at that point.

Agreeing with Micky here, Wood elves are clearly inspired by Celts
Spiral-style Tatoos, battle-frenzy, battle of the trees, spiked hairs on berzerkers (aka wardancers) and so on

Yeah Chaos Dwarves don't actually exist. But I really want to see both Steam Automatons, and Runic Stone Golems. They could have a variety of weapons, abilities, and roles in the army. As well as having connections to Lords/Heroes, offering more abilities, powers, and options within the army.

Also I really would like for there to simply be more infantry options. Maybe Byzantine style flamethrowing units, grenadiers, and a super heavy infantry that is equal to heavy cavalry, as I don't really think Dwarves should have cavalry. Or at least make the Hammerers and Ironbreakers more competitive with each other. Oh and Gromril needs to be 2+ or have an invulnerable save. It doesn't make any sense that Dwarves, the greatest smiths in all the world, would give away the mightiest and sturdiest armour in the world to anyone, and the Empire full plate armour(specifically says Dwarf Forged) has the same save as Gromril.

I can see Celtic in the Dwarves though, along with the obvious strong Nordic influence. But it would be cool to see a Celtic specific army, but many would argue that Wood Elves can be done as Celts.

@TanKol: if you look at their overall strategy, Wood Elves fight like...Apache? I think it's them.
There's something to be said about strategic inspiration versus thematic, though. At which point, I'd say Wood Elves are a definite mix of Native American and Celtic. They're very similar cultures, aesthetically.

Huh? Chaos Dwarfs exist. There's a whole book on them...
