[Edit]
What do you think the best part about being a dwarf?
(i mean actualy being a dwarf in the warhammer world, not just playing the army)
I think it’s between not having to shave, and being able to drink extreme amounts of alchohal without it killing you.
After all, We have beards, and axes…and BEARDS.

**Hashut’s Blessing** :
Dwarf women have never had beards. Why do people keep saying this? Also, proof: Look at Queen Helga, an old female dwarf model.
Best thing: Being a dwarf, of course. You’re 'ard, got a beard (like mine), drink copious amounts of booze-ama-hol (like me) and be able to grumble about young 'uns/inadequacy/anything possible.

They do in Discworld. Not that it has anything to do with Warhammer or Tolkein, apart from being fantasy.

**cornixt** :
In Pratchett’s Discworld series (I’ve read up to about the 20th, but none more recent) there are some female dwarfs with beards who start wearing lipstick and skirts. It causes some confusion because everyone thought they were male up to that point.

**Perv** :
The best thing about being a Dwarf…is you arent expected to like Elves so you can insult them as much as you want and no one thinks its out of place 🙂

**Hashut’s Blessing** :
Off-topic: In reference to the Warhammer world is where my comment came from.
On-topic: You can call everyone a wuss. You can be good OR evil. Woman like guys with short legs because they make up for it elsewhere. Girth is better than height.
(Kera, thought you might like someone to say why guy dwarves rock. Also, male dwarves and corsets would be a BAD thing. Good lass for specifying!)
