I am sure they are - just - not because it's stupid - just I don't think of dwarves as archers- more fierce hand-to-hand-warriors with giant axes...that's why

if the dwarves relied only on close combat they would be pretty dead....


all armies got to have some sort of long-ranged ability.... unless your very fast (something dwarves are not)

I know Ariakas - but my imagination (not the "official" Dwarf-understanding:

Strong, fierce and armoured warriors armed with big axes and hammers. Grim and powerful, but slow. Their ranged attacks aren't very "long-ranged", but their throwing axes can cleave an opponent easily.

That's what I believe of a fantasy-Dwarf....

Yes of course they would - I just wished they had throwing-axes rules for the Dwarves....that could be cool

sorry for being STBG-ontopic.. but...

they don't need that great range (unless theyre fighting White Hand Uruk-Hai)

still, everything about them is so cool... the language, the bodies, the beard, the way of talking, the way of fighting..

The way of fighting is meat-and-potatoes imo....no - not really - but isn't finnesed or fast - just clewing with some massive axes as slow as possible.....

(not wanting to sound harsh - just giving this discussion a little live by making my arguments "harshy")

maybe since there are no hobbits that are better (better stats that is).. that's why he is the best ;)

Hobbits have their own "charm" - you can't really compare Frodo with Aragorn or a hobbit-militia with a SKODA - can you? It's about understanding the meaning, dylan! (even if you can't read this :lol:)
