Re: Dwarven Holds of Aseadal Peaks (T9A Gaya Confederacy)

Uther the unhinged on CDO had these ideas to share: The Korean’s famed for archery therefore the dwarves would need to counter this. One way is heavy plate armour. Another would be wall shields (stretched hexagonal). They would need missile weapons too. To distinguish them from other dwarves maybe n...

Very much so in the background, though it remains to be seen how much of it will translate to rules. Humans had lots of different cultures in Warhammer as well, though only Bretonnia, the Empire, Kislev and to some degree Tilea (Dogs of War) was covered by rules. Cathay, Estalia, Nippon, Ind and so ...

Re: T9A: Lost Islander Dwarves

Essentially, and creatively, everything is fan-made fantasies from Tolkien and onward. The line between official and fanmade is not as sharp as some may think, and especially not in a community-driven project like the Ninth Age. These homebrew proposals are all naturally and hopefully meant to becom...
