I am half way through making a female engineer, and i was thinking whether it would fit into the fluff
It was just an idea that came to me, dont know where from
I have modled her without any tusks, (thinking that tusks would be a more male thing to show status, like boars,) and no beard. I know there are many fantasy novels that have female dwarves with beards (for example LOTR and Discworld) but i thought she would look too much like a guy
Will have pictures up soon, along with my painted male engineer
I have never heard of any dwarfs from LOTR having beards. I guess i will have to read it again.

2 Towers movie: When Gimli is talking to Aeowen (?) on the way to Helm's deep, He says about people mistake Dwarf Women for Dwarf men, Aragorn gestures and whispers "it's their beards" in explanation.

Female engineer sounds like a great idea! I see no reason why it wouldn’t fit into the fluff - regular dwarfs have shield-maidens and such, I figure chaos dwarfs would make sure that men and women can both do what needs to be done. Plus, the female engineer would be really popular with all of the other engineers, when they aren’t getting drunk and irritating everyone else at the universit- I mean, ziggurat.

Is that in the book though?

Not sure, read the book years ago. Thing is, Tolkien's son Christopher(who's the head of the tolkien society or something like that) was very much involved with the production of the movies down to the tiniest detail. It must be somewhere, if not in the Hobbit, silmarillion or Children of Hurin or something.
in the old dungeons and dragons movie they made a reference to dwarf women with beards. the red haired dwarf said somthing to the rogue along the lines of “you gotta get a dwarf lass, wanna have a beard so you got somthin to hold on too!”
In The Hobbbit the dwarfs allude to beards for dwarven women to Blibo .I think Chaos Dwarf women would be as active as men ,well the cruel ones anyway:D
Im not sure, but her skin is going to be paler than the usual chaos dwarf, and the armour mostly in brass ,and brown or black leather
I made her as a girl, but one who doesnt want to show her femininity( i think thats how you spell it), she wants to prove shes more than capable of looking after herself, and thats reflected in her masculin clothing.
Im thinking of making her a special character, a daughter of a rich and powerful slavelord who escaped her luxurious lifestyle and started work as an engineer to prove she can be just as tough and capable as the guys
I will try and paint her as soon as posible, but im a bit downhearted at the moment with my painting skills, so ill have to wait untill im in the ‘painting mood’!
