Strength

[Rebuke]

Hello,

I was wondering whether there is any kind of lore describing each race's physical strength (as in strongman competition-strength, lifting boulders and shizzle) in the Warhammer universe. When i look at the races in Warhammer Online I myself would come up with this ranking, I could be wrong however:

1 Orks
2 Dwarves
3 Chaos-humans
4 Empire-humans
5 High Elves
6 Dark Elves
7 Skaven
8 Goblins

I do not know whether the 2 trailers for the game can be representative; for example the slayer clearly showing to be able to go toe-to-toe (if not overpowering) with a black ork, or the WP standing his own again a chaos chosen (he loses due to lesser combat skills imo, does not show lesser physical strength).

I exclude heroes or the like since they tend to ignore physics and stuff (looking at you Blizzard).

Hoep some of your Lore-masters could answer me! Should be a fun discussion

Skaven ogre #1

aren't chaos humans just northmen? those who seem to become maras and chosen anyways

orcs vs dwarves is a weird one and would depend on the individual. orcs grow as they become more experience and battle hardened. a veteran black orc who's grown some over the years, yes, unfathomably strong, but i think a particularly strong dwarf could match a young orc in raw strength

black orcs vs ogres though

1. dragons and dwarfs
2. most of the rest
3. elfs and gobbos

black orcs vs ogres though

Ironhide already face-rolled both ogres and skraven rat ogres in lore
