<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Monstrous Creatures!"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Monstrous Creatures! In the meantime, my friends have predicted that dwarfs might be one of the next armies in line for a new codex. Obviously not the very next, but they think it may happen soon. That got me to fantasizing about what cool, monstrous thing I might find in it. What do you guys think? Whether or not its true that dwarfs are getting a new codex, what kind of awesome creature would you like to see added into it? And while we're here, what kind of monstrous things might you expect in any up and coming codex?

For dwarfs at least, I was thinking they might do some sort of large, alcohol-powered, warmachince. That might be cool.
I think i'd prefer to see something more along the lines of a slayer or a small squad of slayers riding on the back of like, some mountain bear or something fantastic like that.
What do you guys think?

There are indeed rumours of dwarfs coming soon.
3.) Others field big expensive monsters, you shoot them first round with your cannons
4.) You can always play Storm of Magic and play those monsters too.
5.) Big things that would fit a Dwarf army: Zeppelin, ancestor cannon, mobile anvil or warmachine (golem fits more Chaos Dwarfs).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/399880/3372567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/399880/3372567.page GMT Re:Monstrous Creatures! GW releasing some crazy mechanical golem, siege , or something to pop from underground with a huge drill.

Our FLGS does a tournament called dragon wars, in which each army gets a dragon, regardless of usual restrictions. I have always wanted to see a dwarven steam or clockwork dragon.

Maybe a mobile brewery.

But I can't see much in the way of actual monsters.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/399880/3375656.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/399880/3375656.page GMT Monstrous Creatures!

No Dwarf worth his liver of steel would waste good liquour on a machine, even if it is Dwarven.

You'd also run into trouble in the form of the crewmen drinking all the fuel, although it'd make one heck of a "Can't shoot until next turn." misfire reason.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/399880/3375770.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/399880/3375770.page GMT Monstrous Creatures! Yeah, I guess I don't see them actually getting any crazy monster, but these are some good ideas. A zeppelin would be awesome! And a mobile brew house sounds like the coolest thing in the world ever.

What other cool monsters do you guys want to see models of? It doesn't have to be for dwarfs, but, just for whatever army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/399880/3376166.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/399880/3376166.page GMT Monstrous Creatures!

On the topic of alcohol, I was under the impression that both the Gyro Copter and the Goblin Hewer ran on such a fuel. And besides, it would be fun to put a drinking dwarf in the gondola of the zepplin, doing a sort of one-dwarf bucket brigade into the fuel tank: "A shot for me, one for the blimp, a shot for me, one for the blimp..."

No big monsters, but a chariot pulled by stout mountain ponies or a digging machine might be nice.

Though I must be careful, lest I go off on a tangent on what would rebalance the dwarves for 8e...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/399880/3384321.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/399880/3384321.page GMT Monstrous Creatures!

That's kind of a good point. They're trollslayers and dragonslayers and demonslayers for a reason. Even if you could tame them. If it attacks dwarfs naturally, you can't really see them being tamed by the race as it would be an affront to some family. Not only that, but if they were populous enough that species would exist in the book of grudges and then they're really not going to be kept around.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/399880/3384478.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/399880/3384478.page GMT Monstrous Creatures!
