Only discovered Warhammer Fantasy after Age of Sigmar became a thing. What's a good army to pick for a similar vibe and playstyle as Stormcast Eternals? I wan't to bring righteous, hammer-borne might to evil, with lots of options for customization, but I don't want the stigma of playing Stormcast.

Dwarfs

Are there no bulky human armies outside of Chaos?

I'll admit I'm a sucker for the models. I like the dwarfs, but they're all so damn diminutive. I like having a lot of space of show off painting skills.

Also haven't the dwarfs been mostly phased out by the crap-looking naked Fyryslyrys? And isn't there some neckbeard joke about the dwarfs just being all cannons and no infantry?

The Brettonians have bulky Knights, but I don't think you play them at all like Stormcast.

Bretonnia and or Dwarves. Probably more so Dwarves though.. Brets can be sturdy, but only with peasants guarding their flanks.. You're probably looking for an army that's more "Slow and purposeful" and packs a hit like a iron hammer. Brets can do that but you need to plan for it. Dwarves can take it as well as dish it easier. Iron Breakers for the win.

>Dwarves
In Warhammer they're called Dwarfs.

Aaaaaand Bretonnia got squatted.

FUCK.

I would've fucking played Bretonnia, but then the recollection came flooding back to me.

There's plenty of current in production models made by other companies that can be used as Brets. I'm going to be making a Breton list using Perry Miniatures

I'm gonna go read up on my Brettonia lore on the off chance they get un-squatted as part of GW's recent trend towards good decisions. Worse sticks to worse, I'll go to dwarfs, or I'll kitbash a cavalary+knight heavy army out of modern AoS bits and the like. Damn shame, damn shame.

Lizardmen?

They're pretty bulky and technically they're good guys.

Plus they're dinosaurs that sometimes ride other dinosaurs so that nets them more than a few points.

Everything that got squatted, other companies are stepping in to fill. This company is good, they're the same ones who replaced Tomb Kings.

Besides the already mentioned options, you could try fielding a Sigmar-oriented Empire army, with lots of zealots and warrior priests.

Aso, an Ulric-flavoured Empire army should include a fair few hammers.
