Mounts for the other races suite the lore of warhammer. Ryan I'm not saying that it should be implemented now and before you shut this down with ur comment "So for now, we're not changing the mounts." I would like the forums community opinions bad or good but on correct topic. Since this is not Warhammer online and is now Return of Reckoning this could be something new in the future both reflecting on some of the lore and history of warhammer. Didn't want to make a double post so edit this one. I have to agree with positioning the copter to npc. Another reason I got the Griffon.

You can plead for the community to agree with you all you want, I actually also agree that more mount variety is a good thing. However, it's not as easy as you think. Requires a lot of planning, thought, discussion with the dev team and actual implementation for what we can do to please everyone with such a change. I was mostly proposing counter arguments since that's how a discussion should go; some people agree, some people disagree. Mostly people agree because they like to see us implement new things. I'm disagreeing because the implementation would be harder than you can imagine. I don't object to doing such work, but it has to be done in a proper fashion, otherwise we'll be crippling the game more than we're fixing it.

Ryan I'm not looking for plead or to get the community to agree with me of the enforcement of something. Im looking at possible future implementation with the community opinions and thoughts. Not trying to get agreements that go against wut you and the development team can and can't do. Please don't make this personal against u and the development teams ability. I voiced my opinion and thoughts and I wasn't looking for ppl to gather on my side to enforce anything.

Dwarfs do not ride Boars or Rams in the Warhammer Fluff.
Dwarfs are an incredibly stubborn race that is not known for trusting anything other than dwarf and dwarf made things. Dwarf's use ponies and other live stock as beast of burden but rely solely on their feet for moving around. The more technological minded dwarfs develop gyrocopters to get around but any longbeard will be wary of the eccentric contraptions.

The dwarf's biggoted distrust of anything non-dwarf is so extreme that a dwarf king who wishes to ride to battle shoulders above his kin, takes this desire LITERALLY, and will be carried upon a shield by dwarven shield bearers.

Dwarfs march, they are tireless, and forced march is a way of life for dwarf armies, on the table top Dwarfs could always march even if their enemy was poised all around them. I would like to see a "Marching" mount, similar to the Skaven (Running with the pack)

I would also like to see full on Gyrocopters be used as a mount options for Engineers.

I would love to see dwarf shieldbearers as a Dwarf mount for someone who is in full Sovereign (status of a Dwarf Lord) but I don't think this is possible within RoR


Warrior priests have access to shields in the army building, just as Marauders have access to Great Weapons. Nothing Lore Breaking about this, I barely tolerate dwarfs being able to ride Griffons as Dwarfs would be loathe to trust such a "unreliable" creature.

I am not counting Age of Sigmarines, where Dwarfs can ride Lava-Lizards...The Age of Sigmar is after the Time of the Old World...

I enjoy this game because it immerses me into the Warhammer World, I don't care for things that don't belong and have to do mental hoolah-hoops to justify some of the lore-breaking things in this game. I consider SnB DEs to be Cold One Knights, and SnB SMs to be Nobles (either Dragon Princes or Silver Helms). Lets try not to water down the Warhammer World more with generic Fantasy Tropes.


TL;DR: Dwarfs don't use animals, ever, not even Griffons, they March, or they ride other dwarfs (who march for them). Or they use Dwarf Contraptions

Then I shall remain quiet and let the community hear its voice in this thread ^^

Having T-rex as a mount is one of the reasons I hate dark elves, wish I could use LotD horse instead.

In my cosmetic mounts post I suggested that Dark Elfs get access to a Black "Dark Steed", these mounts were much more prevalent in dark elf armies as only Cold One Knights and Masters could ride the "Stupid" Cold-ones. Riding a Cold One required you to coat yourself with a substance that let the Cold One think you were one of them, this would numb the senses, and would eventually cause complete nerve damage.

Many Dark elves opted for the Dark Steeds for their speed, and reliability, and lack of concequences

what we really need are giant spiders for gits!
