Ultimate List Of Warhammer Dwarf Names
Gallery
'Warhammer' is a one-of-its-kind tabletop miniature game that is extremely popular all over the world.
Literally, Warhammer refers to a weapon that was capable of breaking armor and was extensively used in medieval times. From its name itself, we can get an idea of the background that the game's fantasy world is based on.
In the fictional world of 'Warhammer', there are numerous races, characters and nations, such as the Elves, Humans, Dwarves, Lizardmen, and so on. Each clan has its own weaponry, specialty, and unique characteristics.
One of the most prominent armies which are also integrally associated with the establishment of this world is the Dwarfs. They are particularly known for their excellent craftsmanship and skills.
However, some of their brethren, the Chaos Dwarfs, split from them under the influence of the barbaric warlords of Chaos. No matter whose side you are on, we bring to you a list of cool Dwarf names for you to select from with a brief description for each one of them.
Most 'Warhammer' names are the translated terms of the word “warrior”. Thus, the names justify their role in the game as most of them belong to the warrior class.
We also find that the Dwarven community is mainly categorized into engineers, warriors, kings, business people, and slayers. Another interesting thing is that these dwarven have fascinating last names that give us a glimpse of their special qualities. For instance: Alaric the Mad, Snorri Whitebeard, Durzak Dragonback, and so forth.
