They really aren't, not more than some anecdotic powerful tribes like in 40k. Most are still under orc yoke. They're just not completely ignored in the tabletop game like in 40k.

I love WH:F art but hate 40K art and style, it feels like 40K art design is have some 6 year old draw shit then have an actual artist try to save it.

Even his sketchy stuff has a great imagination behind it.
He's not a bad draughtsman when he puts his mind to it, but that's not his strong point. He defined the imagery of Warhammer and 40k.

I really like some of the 40k art, especially a few odd pieces of Black Legion marines, some of the art of Armageddon and Yarrick, and pic related. It can get a surprising level of detail, but also interestingly contrast the 'gritty realism' of dirty tanks and ugly guns with the odd beauty of various decorations and colorschemes.

He said once in a White Dwarf article that he actually kept going with a really sketchy style because it kept his art from becoming stiff and monopose. He liked his sketchy works for being dynamic and exciting, and I can respect that even if they end up looking blurry.

Is that a dwarf riding a boar?

>>55354737
>>55355007
Weak bait, friend.

On the off chance that was genuine: Warcraft started out as a licensed Warhammer game. Blizzard lost the license, changed the name, and made it anyway.

Starcraft started out as Space Marines vs. Eldar vs. Tyranids in 40k.

>>55355302
Quite possibly. Boars are used as mounts in the Badlands. Usually by orcs, but there are Dwarfs in the Badlands fighting them, who might use them sometimes as well.

>>55354937
Frankly I don't like the tanks nor the guns since they look so retarded, like a 6 year drew them (blocky shit things) then an actual artist tried to save it.

I find them a little charming in that cheesy way - they aren't trying to be realistic or tacticool, it has a sense of either the super-futuristic or just playfully outside of the what we consider fitting. Like a dumb action movie or an 80s cartoon. For me that's a breath of fresh air.

>>55355333
nice joke, everyone knows the first warhammer game was bloodbowl and it came a few months after warcraft one

>>55355333
It didn't actually start out as a licensed game but rather just a game that was inspired by Warhammer so the Co-founder of blizzard wanted to get a license to ride the Warhammer name but the rest of the crew didn't really want that since they had bad experiences with previous licensed games they had made.

Yes they were inspired by Warhammer much like GW was inspired by Dune and various other Sci-Fi stories when making 40k

>>55355654
The Co-founder still tried to get a license but coulden't so they made sure the art style was made even further from Warhammer so they could make their own style.

Warhammer dwarves are probably my favourite aesthetically.

>>55354749
What bothers me is the specific level of clothing they all have on.
None of them are nearly naked, and yet, none of them are wearing steampunk spacesuits.
For them to be proper dwarves, clearly they either need more clothes or less.
