I just realized, now is the time to complete my dwarven army with all the nice units from "oh no the sky is falling, my dwarfs go extinct" panic sellers and play some Oldhammer with them when 9th Edition hit the shelfs.


Fow: 5000 Points+ US Army
40K: 4000 Points+
And many more smaller forces in the cabinet...

DS:80SG+M++B-I+PWW205/pt+D++A++/cWD01R+++T(S)DM+

I'd be fine if dwarfs were gone, TBH. Dwarfs as they exist now are bad for the game.

Well being crushed, burned, sliced, and maimed by the skaven doesn't help their odds of doing good.

'Nids growing soon
3500 pts. unpainted
Admech 1000 buying & building
If you don't enjoy playing against people with unpainted armies, break into their house when they sleep, paint their figures for them, help yourself to their cheerios and then your problems will be solved.
Well, my opponents usually don't have more than 1-2 Wave Serpents 'cos Serpent spam is very expensive in real life money.

i've been playing dwarves on and off for probably the last twenty years, and am currently building a new dwarf army, but i've put purchasing a couple of gyros and a big hammerer unit off until i know what is happening with my beloved dwarves. I honestly think if i can't play a pure dwarf army come 9th i'll walk away from warhammmer.......still i have my 40k army.

I did once convert some of the oiginal dwarf warriors (the ones with the static pose that were all the same) into squats, no idea what happened to them, i am terrible at modelling

All this demise of armies makes me think GW is punishing players for not buying dread fleet...

I can actually visualise them blaming it's failure on the gamers. "You're supposed to buy what we make, whatever we make! Alan Merrett said so!"

Could also explain the world being split into little floating bubbles of earth: GW smarted from the Dreadfleet fiasco so much, it created a scenario where there's no possibility of naval battles ever returning to the fluff or a fantasy game system.

I'm sooo, sooo sorry.

I don't know if it's probably been mentioned already, but I think the decision to kill 95% of the Old World's dwarven population in the End Times book and roll them into the rumored "forces of order" (aka Humans + Dwarves) faction may be GW's natural response to so many companies producing and releasing dwarf models, most of the time better models than GW's own products.

So while it'd be cool to say the Dwarfs are going to get "squatted" it'd be closer to the truth to say they're gonna get "dogofwared"

Progress is like a herd of pigs: everybody is interested in the produced benefits, but nobody wants to deal with all the resulting gak.

GW customers deserve every bit of outrageous princing they get.
