Like the dwarf lady situation, which is stated clearly and repeatedly.

Except the poster you're replying to literally explained that. The clear and repeated statements are a deliberate disinformation campaign by the Dwarves.

And I'm saying that that doesn't make sense when we see direct examples of female dwarfs being told to their faces that they're not allowed on the battlefield.

There's a big fat thick line between "arguably unreliable narrator" and "willfully ignoring canon".

Don't be silly. They can't allow the female Dwarves to realize how powerful they are, that's all.

As far as I'm aware the only major fantasy setting where the female dwarves have beards is LOTR. In D&D/Forgotten Realms/Ebberon/Pathfinder/etc they don't, neither in Warcraft, etc.

And I even requested in the mod workshop forums bout if there was/making a mod to give us Priestess of Valaya hero/lords, from what I've read/been told would be a great support unit, perhaps even give the dwaves some actual healing. The only real healing unit, outside a few that gain regeneration, ala Bugmen's Rangers, was amod that gave you brewmaster heroes, which was cool, which I don't even know if is canon lol.

D&D dwarves can absolutely have beards. Maybe 4th/5th edition changed it Idk, but those editions are trash and don't count. Older valid D&D, female dwarves can have beards for sure, try reading the novels.

How about a black female Dwarf queen as a new LL? Maybe that fits better for Chaos Dwarves, I don't know.

The Rune Priestess of Valaya would be a good addition as a hero unit

Hell yes!
You could have mechanics of all sorts, she should have really high armour and MD but really really low MA, she a support unit of course and if she dies it should have a battle wide leadership drop to all your units

[Riqcrow]

single Priestesses of Valaya would make sense, female-dwarf wise.

How hilarious and original. You must be a real bright and successful fellow.

Agreed. Brunna Ravenshield, a high priestess of Valaya who canonically marches with the soldiers of Karak Azgaraz would make a good Legendary Hero version too

Zargona Zarkrisdotr would also make a good Legendary Hero, she's supposed to be a respected female Dwarven warrior


To those who say Dwarves are a patriarchal society and forbid Dwarven womenfolk on the battlefield. You are correct broadly, but there are always exceptions in Dwarf society. There was a time when the Engineer Guild was forbidden from experimenting with flying machines. Now Dwarves have gyrocopters and even airships. In the tension between tradition and innovation in Dawi society, tradition wins 9/10 times, but innovation still wins 1/10 and those 1/10 times are where a lot of the greatest legends of the Karaz Ankor are born.

I want to see females Rogue Idol, because in current year it's not strange to tell a female "damn baby, you're rock hard"

[jonoliveira12]

Female Dwarfs are smart enough to go nowhere near the things and occupations that kill male Dwarfs en masse.

They have no need for "liberation", or to prove anything. They are at the center of a culture that exists only to shelter and pamper them, due to how rare they are.

Female Dwarfs probably pity females of other races, in Warhammer.
