King Alrik Ranulfsson of Karak Hirn (Generally kickass dwarf king standing on a shield)
King Baragor (King of Barak Varr, probably commander of the Dwarven Navy.)

How can u forget the little sex pot dwarf queen Helgar! Maybe if Bwian asks here nicely she will do us a special calander shoot to launch the mod :)

Bugman needs to be included. I demand bugman.

He should have his tankard as retinue that gives him atleast +1 hitpoints.(referring to one of his special rules in the army book)

Since I'm going to assume the mod isn't going to just go and use all the special characters (I assume the likes of Teclis could be difficult following MoC...) GorkaMorka had a list of icons and symbols that form the ork lexicon. I know it's the futuristic version but names don't differ that much do they?

Naming wise, no...we can't just use all the special characters. We need to be a bit more flexible in terms of how we do that. It will need to be inspired and follow the same sort of syntax as the canon Warhammer stuff, but our own invention. Otherwise, you end up running into so many problems!

In that case I'll hunt out some of my sources and try and do a linguistical breakdown, not much but if we can get a mix of names sorted out it does increase the number of names... 490 Azhags running around will be a pain in the backside ;)

How about the names of the mods and some of the "regular" posters in this forum put in too? I think that would be cool imo. Imagine watching your Tomb Kings army getting crushed by none-other than yourself! How crazy fun would that be

that would be awsome but i dont think some of the names fit

I don't know if it might help ... but I have an old book for the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game lying around somewhere which contained several charts that could be used to randomly generate typical Empire, Elven, Dwarven and Halfling male and female names (surnames and lastnames).

Such names might be useful for certain characters ingame ...?

If there is any interest I'd either could create a couple of names with these chars or PM one of the makers of this mod here.

(Btw ... this being my first post: When I saw the first screenshot I was speechless and had to pick up my jaw from the floor ...)
