The Dwarves march to war.

[Bloodaxe]

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.

Watch this shiny object...

Look into my eyes, not around my eyes, in my eyes...


The hold of the EE is great upon you, resist... Resist... Resist...

Tolkien frequently has Dwarfs on ponies.
It's your own fantasy world, your armies can do what you want...
You will awake in 3... 2... 1...

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.
