lycanthropes: they have vampires why not werewolfs?

GOLEMS: I cant imagine a fantasy world without golems

ELEMENTALS: they need some real magic in WHFB

i just put a few up that screamed WE NEED ATTENTION

if you can think of more great, post them here.

do you think these could become actual armies?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/645791.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/645791.page GMT WHFB fluff gaps
If you don't go with that assumption, then they aren't needed.

Case in point, read Lord of the Rings. Any elementals, golems, or lycans there?

As to becoming actual armies...based on the way that GW has developed the game, it is doubtful, although elementals could be a possibility. Fen Beasts and the whole forrest spirit line are close to elemental in nature and there were a few old school Citadel early 80's era elemental models made.

Personally, I would rather see time devoted to redevelopment of the Chaos Dwarves who, incidentally, given that they are based on Sumerian/Assyrian/Babylonian visuals would be a decent place to fit in a golem.

Lycans would be hard to pull off in a traditional sense. What are they...vamperic beasts of chaos?

In other words: There are no Plot Holes.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/645866.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/645866.page GMT WHFB fluff gaps
And everything the op said. Werewolves should be a unit in one of the undead lists.

Also Draconians (dragonlance) > Slan

And old really mutated beastmen > all goats beastmen ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/645879.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/645879.page GMT WHFB fluff gaps http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/645980.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/645980.page GMT WHFB fluff gaps http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/646643.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/646643.page GMT WHFB fluff gaps

Yes, there are indeed Werewolves in Tolkien's works.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/646698.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/646698.page GMT Re:WHFB fluff gaps There are already several kinds of lychantropes/shapeshifters in warhammer. The Norse have the were (werewolves, werebears). Wolf form of the Von Carstein. The Alter Kindreds of Wood Elves.

If Fenbeasts are not golems, then i dont know what is.

Elementals are in the fluff, even if they dont have any models

Hope this helps ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/723360.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/723360.page GMT WHFB fluff gaps IMHO.

It's GW's game, and although I'm fine with it, they call the shots.

Secondly, how are these plot gaps? and how are these major? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/724047.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/724047.page GMT WHFB fluff gaps VC army book they speak of the Krudenwald fiend,but I think he is more vampire.I don't know fluff wise about the other two though.

Yet these aren't really gaps in the fantasy world are they?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/724580.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/724580.page GMT WHFB fluff gaps

Elementals, again not something that I imagine forming up in a battle line. Although an army that could summon one
into the battle would be cool (like the daemons used to be in 40K) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/766949.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/766949.page GMT WHFB fluff gaps
Araby has the elementals in the fluff...they just don't have an army list.

Werewolves are the Vamps.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/787891.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/787891.page GMT WHFB fluff gaps http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/820608.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/820608.page GMT WHFB fluff gaps http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/827087.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/827087.page GMT WHFB fluff gaps LoTR.

I'm sure there's something out there compareable. Besides, werewolves aren't undead. They're associated with the stereotypical "Halloween Horror" genre, which gives an inaccurate picture of their ways.

I can. It also depends on your definition of "golem". The creature comes from Hebrew mythology, if memory serves, and is a construct or clay brought to life literally by the written name of God. The only thing I could see this even remotely working for in that sense are the Tomb Kings.

Real magic? A opposed to what, all that make-believe magic that they come up with for this game? If anything, I think that the nature of Warhammer magic is a more convincing magical setup than most, seeming to originate from the concepts of the warp in tandem with irradiation.

All in all, Warhammer doesn't need any more stuff at the moment (or possibly ever). I say that we leave these concepts be in the WHFB setup and leave this sort of speculation and exploration open for stories in the original RPG.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/834031.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/235205/834031.page GMT
