More unique female lords

[Ally Bobo]

The devs have been doing a wayyy better job recently of including more female characters such as Valkia, Mother Ostankya, and now Elspeth. It's cool that Elspeth has become the most popular among the three new lords too with 723 Steam reviews compared to 645 and 537 for the other ones.

But like, all of the female characters are basically just humans or elves, it's boring and a bit problematic. Since Orcs are genderless why can't they have a feminine lord? Or a Dwarf female lord? I remember people explaining it could be possible. Could we see more demon lords like Valkia? Can we have a Vampire lord that isn't just Vlad's wife (like what is even the point of her..)? How about literally just adding Neferata?

What other actually unique female character could they add that isn't just another boring human or elf?

There isn't one in the source material, making it very unlikely.

They would have to convince Games Workshop (the owner of the IP) to add a feminine orc lord and work together with them to create said character, not really sure how it would fit with the lore either, since orcs generally don't care about stuff like that.

But i guess they could make something up like a orc fighting amazons (yes, amazons are a minor faction in the lore) for a long time and adopting some of their manners or something. I still see it as extremely unlikely though.

Female Dwarfs are very rare (as in 1 or 2 in 10 children are female), but it is feasible. I think there was a Dwarf queen somewhere in the lore leading troops (If i remember correctly it was a in a emergency, but i figure it could still be adapted).

People have been asking for her for ages, i think its very likely she will be added eventually.

I would kill for Neferata, full dual roster Tomb Kings/Vampire counts with mechanics from both would be amazing.

Orcs simply dont evolve or grow in a femenine way. It's pointless for them, they only need size muscle and teeth. that's why every single orc looks pretty identical if they were stripped down to their birthday suit.

Female dwarfs are very few in number, thats why they dont go to battle in the first place. They are guarded fiercely and it would be insanity for the dwarfs to send one to lead an army. and there are only one prominent female warrior from what i can remember, but she hardly has any lore sorrounding her, other than shes the wife of a named dwarf. I dont remember who.

Skaven females are broodmothers. Big blobs of meat whos constantly giving birth to more rats. Wouldn't really work.

people have been wanting nefarata for years. We'll probably get her one day.

Lizardmen similar to the orcs, just dont evolve that way. They all have a masculine build since they dont reproduce the normal way and is solely meant to exist for battle.

Beastmen females are pretty much just breeding holes. If they all are pregant, they kidnap humans instead, thats how we get Ungors. (Ew).

our best bet for female lords would be Humans or Demonic entities.
The masque for Slannesh would be a pretty good bet. Either as lord or hero.

GW could just snap their fingers and say Orcs have always been feminine, its not an issue at all.

how would a female orc even work
they arnt male, they arnt female, they are mushroom
you want the mushroom to wear a dress?
stop

and no, no female dwarven lords
dwarves are going extinct as is
the women are kept safe in the deepest part of the hold under constand guard so that no harm can possibly come to them
because the dwarves understand that sending women to war is a shortcut to extinction
if people commented it could work they where clearly uninformed about warhammer
dont listen to propagandists and read the lore instead

there is no logic in your suggestions
just shallow pathetic emotion
maybe one day you might mature

You probably mean Helgar Longplaits but she died thousands of years before the Game starts.

Because a huge amount of GW's material grew up over the 80's & 90's, you're going to find a whole lot less female characters in the kinds of roles that could fit a Legendary Lord in the game. Aside from the couple that exist currently, like Neferata, it would need new characters to be written up & perhaps with the Old World we may get some now that GW is more keen on representation.

Several legendary lords already in the game doesn't belong in the time period of Karl Franz's reign. Several of them are even confirmed dead at that point.

So not really a issue.

With that attitude we could also ask for Sigmar Heldenhammer.

"Somehow Sigmar returned, and will be aviable to players in the new "The Hammer and the Bone" DLC together with legendary Vampire-Waifu Neferata!"

You joke but that dlc would sell like hotcakes.

No. No it is not. I am almost certain you in fact do not know what the word "problematic" actually means. Please stop spreading this BS agenda.

Fair enough, but its not like they are strictly keeping to the time frame either (and dwarfs can live for a long time on occasion, Kragg the Grim being 1600+ years old as a example).

I think that this is main issue here. Lore is old and written 40y ago to for that time attitude. I think that lot of people are lazy or afraid to do changes in lore. Would it be that different if dwarfs had more females? It is easy to say they dont exist, so we dont have to create something that would not sell well. Dont know if those dwarfs females would be appealing or commercial success. Maybe big orcs female could trigger some kinks :D
