  This is how dwarfs are supposed to look like, imo. That strong feeling of honor, stubborness, and raw strength.. And ofcourse wisdom.

  Honestly, if you didnt say it was a dwarf pic i wouldnt have guessed it was a dwarf. A beard doesnt make a dwarf

  Dwarves are always my favorite race, so far WoW has nailed them the best.

  Warhammer and wow dwarves are the same thing indeed.
  
  

  It's better be hated for who you are, than loved for who you aren't.

  Warcraft Dwarves are based of Warhammer Dwarfs, which in turn are based on Tolkien's Dwarves.
  
  I'll never get tired of the greatest fantasy stereotype ever concieved (as opposed to Elves which have single-handedly nearly ruined the genre).  No need to make them "unique"  They're Dwarves!v  The eat, the drink, they mine, and they fight.  Wonderful!

  When gamecompanies proudly show intromovies, concept art, parts of animation which obviously haven't even finished the concept art stage in a 3D program, empty sceneries, drawn 'ingame screenies' but are unable/unwilling to show actual ingame screenshots with backgrounds, items and characters in place, then you just KNOW they're either very new (in which case it'll take at least another 2 years) OR they have to hide something from you...

  In either case, keep clear.

  Ah, you fool..
  Let me show you some different art work, as well as a few screenies.
  
  WoW dwarf artwork:

  WoW dwarf screenie:

  Warhammer dwarf artwork:

  WAR dwarf screenies:

  Sure, they're both small an fat. That's a dwarf, alrigth. Sure, they both got beards. Thats an dwarf, alrigth.
  But take a good look at the art.. Take a good look at the screenies.. And then tell me their almost the same.
  
  WAR captures that gruff stubborness, the look of a seasoned figther.
  WoW dwarfs.. Looks like humans, that never grow past 140cm, eats too much.. With an odd big ass nose.

  Fixed your links. Put a space after or it will not work. Your argument will be stronger if its more convenient for people to look at.
