I was thinking last night about running a savage.worlds fantasy game and made me think I always play an elf in a fantasy setting.
So the question is:
What is your faourite fantasy race?

Mine =
1,Elves
2.Dwarves
3.Lizardmen, I like the GW setting for them in Lustria, but then I like the aztecs.
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

1 Samurai Apes! ^^
2 Undead or Immortal (like in my novels!^)
3 Catman

I like the idea of evil Beastmen types, lurking in woodland ready to pounce.

Flying monkeys are something you dont see often.

But Orcs and Goblins have always been my favourite. I may do a horde for HOTT.

Must admit it is over 20 years since I read any moorcock, and to be honest I cant remember much about it :-[

Now I do love the samurai apes :D, so much so I bought some for my pulp games, but as with everything I am now thinking of getting some more for their own right :D
I had a beastman gang for my mordheim games, in fact that is som ething that is going the journey :)

I always wanted a 3000 point goblin only army when I played warhammer, so I mad do with either a unit of 80 or two units of 40, with 32 wolf riders on the flanks, with various orc units to builk it out..... yeah try getting 25% casualties on a 80 strong unit lol
the dwarves i like are lord of the rings type, l I ove the idea of Moria as a setting  :D

Goblin Warchief

Goblins, of course...
With Hobgoblins as elite troops...
And a few Trolls to add intelligence  :D :D :D

And Dwarves, too...  ;)

I should say my favourite fantasy race is Humans. They are a lot of infravalorated, but they are a lot of fun to play with in a fantasy setting

hmmmm, probably would have to go with Orcs and Goblins - which I convert and repaint into something that I call Dwimlin... no not as fancy as it sounds, just a more human looking skin tone for standard Gobbo types, making them look more bestial and hybrid humanoidal <--- does that word actually exist?

Dwarfs, unfortunately they're often at a disadvantage in rules. (I'm looking your direction GW).
