If you take Gotrek as Ally, you cant take any other allies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Mistake, but thank you for pointing out He doesn't follow the ally points rules. He has a unique rule where he can be allied with any order faction regardless of point limits, but that nobody else can be allied if you take him. (I think it's BS but that's beside the point) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think I explained myself to well. A lot of writers lean into scottish stereotypes when writing about dwarves and they are not subtle about it and it comes off clumsy. hard drinking, insular, grumpy, greedy and slightly xenophobic. Its always put me off but gw have done a very good job in AoS of making them diverse.

Tolkien clearly drew from Jewish cultural history and stereotypes when doing his dwarves, and then everyone else decided they sounded scottish and really REALLY liked to get drunk.

That's interesting. I was always told/read he drew inspiration from Britain and Ireland. Men = English Elves = Welsh Dwarves = Scottish Hobbits = Irish Interesting to hear this though. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmorley21 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 With the recent big events, has anyone been having success with Gotrek? It seemed like a lot of people were concerned, but I'm not sure what army he makes better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Scribe Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 It takes a little bit of time to fine tune and hyper optimize the lists to find out that answer. I think we have another month or so to go before we know where he is perfectly optimized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
