steamcommunity.comThe creator has modern source material [literally provided] (http://www.totalwars.ru/images/WH-FB/units/Dwarf/3/thunderers.jpg) to them and still can't make it look anything like Warhammer Dawi.

Holy fuck you weren't joking.
Edit: Lmao this: http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Belegar_Ironhammer vs this sniper set

Hell, Thorgrim grudgebearer rides a throne...

I feel mildly torn about whether or not to upvote it on steam.

Honestly, please don't. (IMO) It's been submitted as part of the Warhammer: Total War tie-in contest and literally has nothing to do with the Warhammer IP.

Yeah the "blazing" gun and horns gives me more of a Chaos vibe, Chaos dwarfs perhaps :D

Also, the nose is to big and "clowny" for me

See I thought the same thing, it seemed like a chaos Dwarf styled set.
More I analyzed it though, more I figured that it isn't and its just another guy taking advantage of the contest to push their set. Like the Clinkz one.

This should be pretty easy shouldn't it? Look at the in-game models in TW or even the table top models for inspiration and then make awesome sets. Yet, a disturbing number of the entries on the Workshop have absolutely nothing to do with WH and are just tagged that way to try and win the contest. It's frustrating the amount of wasted opportunities that this contest seemingly has.

I honestly don't think this set was made for the warhammer contest. He just thought it could fit and submitted it.
1
I am not at all a fan. It doesn't tie in to Warhammer in the slightest so it shouldn't be in the contest - it looks more like something you'd find for hunters back in Burning Crusade. The WH mislabel aside, the antlers really kill any interest I'd have in the set.

Someone beat me to it. If anything a sniper set should try to look like a thunderer.

Or a master engineer. This is some chaos dwarf imposter who lost his bucket hat and grabbed an assault rifle.
3
But I don't want another sniper set since I already have the very orky one D:
1
Dude, just make Sniper a skaven and be done with it (I joke, but I need a rodent hero in dota fml)
5
Ha! That'd get the dawi-fans really grumbling! It if done right that could be cool, though. Too bad the jezzails are two rat teams.
There was a neat Meepo concept floating around on here that made him a clan rat. There's also an interesting one that makes Bristleback a Skaven on the Workshop.

Agreed, it looks nice as a set of its own but its not Warhammer, not even a single Ancestor god or dragon on the set! i could have seen it as a Chaos dwarf set but it would need a black beard and some minor changes.

THE KING OF THE NORTH!

Sorry, but after further acquainting myself with the Warhammer dwarves, this isn't even remotely up to snuff.
It's a good looking set, though for a non theme set I'd like the color scheme changed; however, for a contest such as this it's legitimately a 1/10. The whole purpose was to match existing characters / pieces / figures, and this has failed to do so.
For reference, here is what a Dwarven warhammer 'King' looks much more like - http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Belegar_Ironhammer

I like it, but not for sniper or as a warhammer set.
So yeah that's a no from me
8
why does he look like a reindeer?
5
Santa hired him?
2
Given months to work on a set, doesn't even look at source material. Good job guy, it takes literally seconds to find what the design for dwarves looks like in Warhammer and you still screwed it up.
5
I bet this set did not even start out as Warhammer inspired and just got the tag on it to bait votes, like the Clinkz set for NoTail floating in the Workshop.
1
What a chaos dwarf is supposed to look like http://www.beastsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Chaos-Dwarf-3.jpg
3
literally how hard is it to make a dwarf thunderer?
with soo much source material on the internet from TW:WH and Warhammer Online how did you mess up that gun?
3
This would be the best IMO
1
Rename to "King of the manlets".
2
Aren't Chaos Dwarves supposed to have dumb bucket helmets. Also what chaotic contraption is that, an assault rifle? Blasphemy! That deserves a grudgin'.
2
Can you make it look like more Dwarvy please ?
2
I'm didn't make this, sorry! Just found that set nice and wanted to share. I guess you should post a comment on the workshop to reach the creator easily.
2
Oh, okay, thanks for the headsup! Will do.
1
I'm not really proficient at grumbling, but the antlers/horns are just.... "...What?"
2
Upvotes for Warhammer...
Downvotes for Sniper :/
2
This offense against the dawi has been added to the Dammaz Kron.
2
The shoulderguards are a bit too big for Sniper imo. Otherwise good job.
1
i'll buy it, but i dont know much about warhammer lol
1
You're in luck. This set has literally nothing to do with Warhammer.
12
I will tell you there are no assault rifles.
2
do you have a picture from perspective you see the hero in game?
1
This ain't Warhammer dwarfs, it's just a dwarf with spiky armor.
100% WoW dwarves here
Looks like Magni with Gun to me.
Not even close, the pauldron is not twice as big as his torso
What was I thinking
This contest isn't a WoW crossover so these sets really annoy me. This looks nothing like the dwarves, and he has an assault rifle.
For anyone interested, here's how "rifle-dwarves" actually look (Thunderers): https://www.games-workshop.com/en-AU/Dwarf-Thunderers-Quarrellers
