The plural of "dwarf" is "dwarfs" ... But, thanks to Tolkien, the plural of "dwarf" is also "dwarves" ... ;)

Thought I would mention this for any of our non-English native speaking members as well as any language pedants who might be lurking about ...  ::)

LOL! Actually the "Empire" comes from Playmobil's own name for the 3268 new large castle: Knights Empire Castle!

But there is a definite Warhammer connection anyway! My favorite troops were always the Middenheimers, and the Knights of the White Wolf. When GW (the other one ;)) came out with their game Mordheim, I created a Wolf Priest character for the game. So when Playmobil came out with the Wolf Clan Knights I KNEW I had to get many of them, and eventually I found a way to recreate the Wolf Priests from my Mordheim days...

Seriously, it would appear that some of the folks over at Zirndorf have also been influenced by some of the folks over at Nottingham ... ;)

It seems that my dreams of having a Playmobil Warhammer army may be finally coming true! ...  <:>

My favourites have always been (not necessarily in order) Brettonia. Empire, Dwarfs, High Elves and Lizardmen ... :)

I really enjoyed this topic and would really like to talk some more about Playmobil and Warhammer ... ;)

I wonder if anyone has actually created "complete" Warhammer Armies using Playmobil ... ???

The Empire and Brettonia would probably be fairly easy to do with existing Playmobil.

But, how about the Lizardmen, Orcs and High Elves ... ???

I saw some Dwarfs that you made, Cap'n Henry. And, they were quite good !!!

Didn't someone else here also make some Dwarfs ?

This thread is almost exactly two years old. (I sure do miss Cap'n Henry.)

During the past two years, Playmobil has introduced many new Klickys that could be used as Warhammer figures.

Has anyone seen any "Dwarfs" or "High Elfs" ... ???

Just recently, Macgayver made some "Orcs" ...  :yup:

"The Empire" and "Brettonian Knights" might be easy to make just by using Playmobil right out of the box.

"Lizardmen" would no doubt still take a bit of imagination and some custom work.

Seems like there could be lots of possibilities with the Roman and Egyptian themes.

For me, it's really Warhammer's great story line that I find interesting and not the idea of actually having wargames.

Maybe someone here at Playmofriends will someday do a Playmobil photo story (or two) based upon the Warhammer stories.

All the best,
Richard
