Ok ok. Seemingly unorganized

Like the H5 defender; only showing random pieces of armor beneath a heap of Scottish rags.

People seem to forget that aside from 'ready to do battle', a dwarf should also look like it could 'enter a bar without looking odd'.

The H5 Defender (as well as the other H5 Dwarves) better be in Scotland, because they'd look odd showing up in bar anywhere else wearing a skirt! ;|

I voted for Heroes III Battle Dwarf.
He looks like a really short Viking warrior to me. :-D

Don't worry if things are going badly today. They will be much worse tomorrow.

:tongue: Don't know what kind of bars you visit, but in the ones I know a H5 defender would be welcomed as just an ordinary (but small) Scotsman and would immediately be engaged in friendly conversation concerning his travels and about what colors look nice together etc. And he'd certainly get a lot of free rounds.

Any dwarf with an organized armor would be the laughing stock of the evening (unless there is some kind of costume party) and would not get any drinks at all.

well to be honest we don't get a lot of dwarves in armour at our pubs, but quite apart from that, IMO Dwarves are actually quite meticulous with armour and weaponry, it is their craft after all, I imagine a dwarf that treats his gear with disrepect would be much more likely to get ridiculed than anything else :)

Had to go for the Defender. It dosent look like garbage like the rest of the hyperpixeliated wannabe dwarves. They just looks so...dry. While the defenders, the shieldguards at least have some fresh but still not blinding colors to them, and those kilts make them charming, Scotland indeed amuses me. Want to go there one day. I love the brawlers and the berserkers too, but since they are overtrained and larger musclemass than the normal-height dwarf. The Rune Priests and Patriarchs should be in the poll instead.
