I wonder if Dwarf Noble riders would fit on Orc warboars. Dwarves need a manly mount. ;)

A goat or ram would be cool too.

Sorry Bloodaxe, i'm not sure.  I actually think they might even be from the Gnomes range (FGN2)??  Not sure - i bought them a few years ago.   :(

I'm pretty sure they are Gnomes

I revived my Warmaster blister today.  Dwarf Throne of Power (General) with 6 guards/throne bearers, Anvil of Doom with Runesmith on top (Spell-crafter) along with 2 guards, Bugman (?) with a mug/stein. A chained pet bear with trainer or jester(?) not sure on the last fig.  They will make a unique & easily identifiable General & spell-crafter for sure.  
I have not heard back from Great hall games after several emails and a week, So I'll be moving on. They lost a $100+ order easily. They replied initially then nothing, even after I sent 4 more messages. Shame.
The War Store does not have warbands as of yet, but they have some older fantasy stuff from Pendraken.
I may just bite the bullet and order direct from Pendraken. I was hoping to avoid the shipping (Im from USA) , but I dont want to wait on these other shops forever.

Something like this: (mine are new/unpainted)

Do you get a Warmaster blister from too much frenetic Warmastering?

Order straight from Pendraken! With every order you get a free whiff of Middle-Borough air!

Ha!
I guess I should say blister pack? Maybe not.....

You see the @$$ selling sandwich bags of "concert air" on Ebay?

I don't see why dwarves shouldn't also have magical abilities. They're celebrated for both magic rings and helmets of invisibility, for a start. And I remember the Dwarf wizards Kodak and Xerox an Australian friend used in Tunnels and Trolls back in the 80s; species wasn't too much of a problem.

Its a game. You can do whatever helps you have fun. Ive just played Warhammer awhile, so I like my Berserkers (Troll Slayers) to have orange hair, Dwarf RuneSmiths destroy magic- not cast it, not have Dwarf pony riders, etc.  Not a big deal.  I may do things different in Warbands anyway.

Yeah, I know. I just like it that way. (no ponies) I could get behind rams or something, but not ponies. Pony rides sound like a six year old's day at the fair, not a battle-hardened Dwarf warriors mount to war.
