Deadzone: To Beard Or Not To Beard? That Is The Question!
May 17, 2013 by brennon
Deadzone is going from strength to strength as you probably already know. But now Mantic have posed the ultimate question for which the answer is most certainly not 43 or 42. Do Dwarfs need beards, or not?
The Brokkr are the equivalent of scrap metal merchants in the Warpath universe but that doesn't make them worse fighters! In a move that has split the community down the middle though should Mantic sculpt these fellows with beards, or without?
I've already come down on the side of beards. You can't take the honourable knotted facial hair from them!
As well as the Brokkr Deadzone is also adding the Forge Father squad which contains Forge Guard. Folks who were hoping to find them in Warpath will also be very happy.
They have even added in the decision over what Mining Laser the Brokkr should employ on the battlefield. You can have your say on what head goes on the front of this terrific piece of machinery.
So the ultimate question; to beard, or not to beard?

Arent dwarwes without beards, midgets?
Have them without so they stand out from the rest of the army. Also, being machinists it might make more sense they have very short beards or shaved as they might get the traditional long beards caught in gears and such when mining. Sort of like keep the tie away from the document shredder.
That’s what the beard armour is for!
Time to weigh in on this, I do like my dwarves, and having a good beard is a matter of honer of any dwarf, one of the greatest insults you can give to them is to mock or shave there beards off.. so in short a dwarf with no beard is not to be respected or listened to and the only way they should be clean shaven is as a mark of dishonor so if i play any person with them clean shaven i take it that they are a dishonored unit or prisoner unit that’s serving time in military… Read more »
but then these aren’t technically dwarfs their forgefathers look at hasslefrees grymn 90% don’t have beards and they look alright, beards could be a more traditional look for the older guard while the younger or more outward looking could go beardless .
i guess it depends on what mythos of dwarf society you ascribe to, so in all probability there is a fantasy world where that could be and most likely is the case 🙂
That’s not a question at all, ALWAYS beard!
I think they should definitely have beards but maybe they could be a lot shorter, more goatee rather than the big soup strainers normally found on dwarves. Tony Stark rather than Santa.
why do i get the image of a parody ming the merciless as a forge father…?
You brought this on yourself Justin. You know there are dozens of us now off to find the green stuff…
on topic the only dwarf that should have no beard it a parody Chuck Norris, coz beneath his beard there is only another fist…

Beard! 😀
Some Dwarves look cool with no beard. Look at the old Kay Finn White Axe from the Celtos line.

The best solution is… alternate heads!
In a race that traditionally don’t give a fig what anyone else thinks of them, a Dwarf without a beard… probably thinks he’s the dwarfiest Dwarf that ever there was.
Also; is that alt head Ernest Borgnine?
