An interesting question came about in another thread about how many “actual” dwarf players were out there. So my question / the purpose of this thread is to get a rough idea for interest sake. Going under the pretence that dwarves became very relevant in the current meta (solid casters with several competitive lists) how many people would play them? How many people are currently playing them at their current power level? And how many people are wanting to start them without any changes, but have yet to start? Please post where you stand and I’ll make a tally and post the findings periodically for kicks! If you’re not interested in dwarves at all then feel free to post and perhaps I’ll add you in a simply a “no interest” tally.
Edit: and just to be clear, this is if you would run or be willing to run one - two full Rhulic lists.

"Actual" and purist dwarf player reporting in!
No changes needed to be/remain competive.

Hello
I'm a competitive player (French WTC team 1, my team went 6th and i won 5 games).
My current pairing is Magnus2 / Ossrum Hammer strike.
I think we were 5 ou 6 Ossrum / Hammer strike players at the WTC. This list is very powerfull and is nearly an auto-win against some factions like Cygnar.

Perhaps this thread would give cleaner numbers if it was set up as a poll?
Anyway, I don't play Dwarfs, other than occasionally bringing Thor with a Blaster. I'm not a very competitive player so I wouldn't go Rhulic to try to win games.

Agreed, you need to be specific in the metrics you are trying to measure. So qualifying what you mean by a Dwarf Player is a good start and building stipulations around it.
However, I don't think this poll/role call will be very complete; the forums are only a small subset of actual players and as such isn't a very complete representation of the total population. At least it gives you, maybe, a sampling?
Those stipulations aside, I consider myself a dwarf player. I always have 1 of the 3 dwarves in my 2 list pair (I can think of one Steamroller which I didn't in the past 3 years).

Not a purist nor dwarf player. Think only model I have is Lord Rockbottom.
Just not that keen on the aesthetic and can't be bothered buying another battlegroup.

So definitely looking like not many dwarf players, looks like we’ve got: -4 currently playing dwarves -3 none dwarf players. -0 that would play with update -0 that want to but have yet to start
Maybe adding a poll would be a good idea, I might add one when I get home as doing more than basic posts from my phone is a major pain.

I play 3 lists with any sort of regularity.
My bad Magnus2 nomad spam version My bad Ashlynn cygnar LR list My bad Ossrum rhulic list (50/50 between HS and IR)
Ossrum makes up probably 1/3 of my games at least. I wouldn't say I'm competitive or a purist, but definitely have enough dorf games in to make a CID interesting to me and also have a point of view.

I don't exclusively (or even mostly) play Mercs... but when I do, I pretty much exclusively play Dwarf Casters/units (the exception being Shae, who I count as an honorary Dwarf because he had a (bad) them that used them back in MKII)

Did the tally come up short? I play dwarfs, but not exclusively so and rarely all dwarf lists.
