    My mountainhall people are actually giants, and the dwarves sail on boats. This is an insight into my sick and twisterd mind.

    Next you're gonna tell me the elves have been using their long lives to advance technology and humans have become nature-loving forest people since they're closer to the cycle of life and death since they live so much shorter lives than everyone else.

    Wouldn't by said logic halflings/ratmen/goblins/whatever race that exists solely to have even shorter lifespan than humans being EVEN CLOSER to nature than humans themselves, or you don't have them?

    The ratmen are so close to nature they aren't even people! They are just big rats really.

    Warhammer dwarves are as much Celtic as Germanic, maybe more so. And not island Celtic, Gaulish.

    I always thought they were more Northern English, but maybe I’m just going by the accents from the Total War games

    The armour and weapons are very Celtic. The musical instruments too. Also the winged helmets and carrying chieftains in a shield are straight from Gaul, possibly by way of Asterix.

    GW have been extremely specific and consistent about that in audiobooks and games going back to the 90's, even while other accents in Fantasy wandered about.

    Showing Tolkien's dwarves is ironic, given that in his work it's the hobbits that are alcoholic scots.

    Yeah I watched the video. Didn't like it. They sold it as a sequel, but it makes no sense as a sequel. It kinda works as an allegory for the channel going away from Minecraft and then coming back trying to improve their numbers.

    swag. what is swag. i havent heard that world in years but I feel like I used it yesterday. I swagged, Everyone swagged, the world swagged. but one day we stopped swagging without realizing. just like how we stopped Stoking and Yeeting. Was any of it real? does the time really move that fast? am I gay?

    I’m familiar with all the dwarves except the dwarf woman on the far right. Who is she and where is she from?

    parent
    1 points DreadDiana

    She's from a comic called Rat Queens. The original run is pretty good, but the series went on a lengthy hiatus at one point and I fell off the series, so I'm not sure if the 2017 continuation is worth reading cause I never got around to reading it.
