Dwarves?

By mr.thomasschmidt, in Runewars Miniatures Game

I do like all four factions but what I use to play in other games are dwarves. Anyone knows if they exists in this universe and if we might see them?

Definitely exist, mostly up in the Dunwarr Mountains I believe? NE of Daqan and N of the Uthuk. Haven’t read their segment in the Terrinoth guide yet to discover what makes them unique in this universe, but at a glance they possess your typical Dwarven Race traits.

There’s been previous discussion and optimism about the game expanding beyond the orginal 4 factions, and the two front runners on everyone’s minds seemed to be Dwarves and Orcs to be the best choices, of it happens. Also not as popular but if FFG didn’t expand beyond 4 factions, perhaps Dwarves and Orcs could be neutral cross-faction units that could be intergrated somehow, which I think most of us would prefer to no inclusion at all.

That being said, to my knowledge there’s no mention in any Runewars Miniatures Game material or interviews suggesting they’ll come out, just fab speculation and the fact that these races already exist within the Terrinoth IP, and I know the Orc side even describes particular types of units and so conceptually, they’ve already taken care of some of the ground work, so here’s to hoping that they do!

When I read through the lore section of the source book, it was kind of light on dwarves. They spread the dragon runes out into the world (spreading magic), and for the most part have isolated themselves in their holds.

If the game continues to be successful, I'd be shocked not to see the Orcs and Dwarves. They've been in other games alongside the 4 main factions, and they represent gameplay styles not currently present in the game (this game still hasn't really explored many potential mechanics and ideas, contrary the opinions of some). They wouldn't have to add more factions to this game, but I think it would be silly of them not to. I do think they might stop after Orcs and Dwarves though. This universe does have many other races, but it would be completely new ground for any of them to be introduced as a playable military force.

I kinda look for Gencon to be the place if there was going to be an announcement of a faction addition.

I see the expansion to new factions as one of the primary ways the game can expand. It creates a new meta by virtue of having to take account that race’s unique characteristics. So even if there aren’t new units for the other factions at the time of release, the builds have to change to adjust.
