Hey people. We all know that mantic dont care if we use their miniatures as proxy/count-as on other game systens. They kinda want you to choose their models instead of others for those said games...

So, with "leaked" pictures of broks finally around, what the people who plan to play 40k with a nice and new Forge Father/Space Dwarf/Demiurg army are thinking for broks?

Particularly myself, inside the fluff i have been working for "Demiurgs" in 40k universe (you can read it here, if you have the courage http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/537654.page), im very confused about those half naked space barbaric dwarfs, maybe some scavenger faction of corporations who turned to barbaric life style, lefting all the honour and pride behind.

But what about the rules? I have been toying about using them as Orks, allied with a core detachment of space marines, but that seens so counter-intuitive rulewise. Or maybe Fenririsian wolves if playing codex Space Wolves (but the lack of ranged weaponry on the original unit may seen a bit tricky).

So, what you plan to do?

Hey, thank you. While i dont like squats (the whole ideia, beggining from the "abhuman" thing) it is nice to have some aditional rules for them.

But regarding my question: it is much more "wich unit you use them for", tham "wich codex".

My problem with is: essentially they are naked dwarf with CCW+Pistol, and i fail to see such unit in any codex i would use space dwarfs for (Space Marines+IG).

So, anyone have some extra ideias?

Well, i got that same feeling Pacific. And for me, i would never ever touch 40k again, but this is a social hobby and the community around me is of GW fans...

Well, the history is long, complicated and full of bad decisions (mostly mine), but you want to speak about bitterness?

I understand you with all my heart, and i promissed myself i would never buy another model from GW. At least, until now, i made it.

I hope to get other friends in Warpath/Kings of War with the time, but this group im talking about is "all GW". My only option them? Proxy, or leave 1/3 of the hobby... (one of my 2 prefered ones).

Now the brokks looks amazing, and i want to use them in game, just dont know how. And maybe it dont matter after all.

PS: sorry if the topic annoy you people, i was just trying to get some ideias...
PS2: sorry for this post at all, i got a great week for the hobby (the modeling part), fallowed by some buckets of cold water (the social part). Im probably beying an attention whore right now.

Hey, Eilif, i have seen your squats on your galery. Great stuff, must have been a hard earned collection... (I loved the terrain piece you made, i have the same habit to get "toys" and try to turn them into terrain (most of the time, with no good results).

Particularly, i am not a fan of squats. I dont like the general look of GW dwarfs, and their fluff as some type of abhumans just dont work for my taste. If elves deserved and orks deserved to be full species in 40k, why not the dwarfs too?

Anyway, what unit you plan to use the Brooks for? I plan to use my demiurgs as Space Marines with IG Allies too (but more marines here). Maybe brooks can go well as penal legion?

Da Boss: Duergars in space would sound very cool, specially for 40k. Lets say our "dwarfs in space" have a rich mineral diet, and their complex social code is only honourable amoung themselves

Indeed, around my own version of the demiurgs fluff, a noble corporation could have survived the maelstrom with some minor corruptions, including grey skin and "mineral protuberances" growing at some parts of the body...

lol Azazelx, i find so funny when someone point Blizzard as reference to something

But yeah, they are the "evil dwarves" of D&D, but not enough to say they are "chaos dwarves".

They are very fun indeed...

Hey Aegis: take a look at my "Demiurgs" fluff, into my signature link. Indeed, there is plenty of space for "guilds" with minor genetic corruptions, specially among the ancient ones (who passed the last couple of centuries fighting for survival in the maelstrom).
