Which begs the question on why CA, Sega and Games workshop dont go all out and make Cathay and Nippon insectoids, with units ranging from insectoid infantries, ninja roaches, large beetle monsters, monstrous centipede chariots plus cutie insect shugenjas, geishas and courtiers. I mean GW has given them the ground work to make many of our past culture and gave them an interesting twist so I see no reason why they should hold back now.
The point here is that they could make the introduction of an asian centric race far more interesting than just shoe horning in another human race and swapping 3 kingdoms assets you know.
Dwarfs are clearly inspired from the Jews for many reasons: -Have an addiction to gold and gems -Will claim back lands they supposedly had some 2000 years ago or so -Biggest nose in Fantasy Battle -Manling=goy, you may be best friend with a Dwarf he will never consider you as equal as his retarded brotjer -Will get back at you constantly for some shit that happened to them even if it's 80 years old -Did I mention the size of their schnozzle? -Silverstein=Silverhammer

Ethan Martin
What of their cousins?
Dominic Ortiz
FUCK! Sorry I forgot about them!
There are also hobgoblins right? I dont know where they are, but they're there somewhere.
Ian Morgan
High Elves are japanese. Wood Elves are vietnamese.
Next.
Benjamin Gomez
Most likely Sepharades, Ashkenazi are ashamed of their degenerate cousins
Luis Edwards
Dorfs are clearly based on scot-gaelic and vikings.
It's only tolkien dorfs were to somehow a bit semetic due to their greed and language.
Camden Ortiz
>book of grudges = talmud can't argue with that user
Aaron Harris
That is completely wrong, Dwarfs are a heavy sedentary people based on creating wealth instead of pillaging it. Neither of them then.
Jonathan Collins
Vikings were traders too, user. They built castles and shit once they have the knowledge, see the normans. Yeah, the book of grudges is an actual book and not oral-transmitted tales.
Owen Richardson
But it is undisptable that GW makes the elves/eldars after asian, especially the japanese.
The high elves are even clearer, I mean, they are onna island, caste society with warrior class/priest class, dying out due to the lack of breeding?
Julian Thomas
High elves are clearly based on the legend of Atlantis, the location of the island is where many believe it actually once stood.
David James
They don't look greeks to me.
Tyler Nguyen
They're not Japanese either , there's a Jap faction already called Nippon. Atlantis wasn't necessarily Greek , many date it back to a time before Greece even existed. Some say Atlantis was inhabited by the Anunnaki.
Adrian Campbell
I know of Nippon and Cathay, but the high elves are clearly based on the jap with a bit of british high culture.
This inspiration stretches to the 40K Eldar where they look like characters from 80s anime with all the fluffy hairdo and painted faces.
Juan Thompson
I just don't see it, maybe the 40k Eldar have some anime quality to them but i think the Tau fit that description better with their mechs and lack of noses.
Aside from the mech design (which actually looks nothing anime), the only thing remotely jap about tau is that they used some kind of katana for their foot troop.
Meanwhile, the whole warrior spirit and eastern mysticism are in the Eldar.
>but the high elves are clearly based on the jap How do you figure the world-politicking, individualism-focused, hedonistic High Elves are anything like the isolationist, strictly feudal, Zen-like Japs, you weeaboo retard? Because they're both good with swords? They're based on old Atlantian lore of wealthy, highly-developed, mythical people that fell due to their own hubris
Except retard, the high elves in both Fantasy and 40K are strictly zen-like and actually do meditation, monk style, because they know being degenerate leads them to dark elves.
Aiden Ross
>Tau are Indian What, how? If anything they are closer to what utopians and communists aspire to be.
Christopher Ramirez
The caste system, their architecture and sand-dune culture are totally indian.
They are also ruled by priests, you know, like the brahmin.
Julian Mitchell
t. only knows anything about GW franchises because of video games High Elves are nothing like 40k Eldar. High Elves cannot 'turn into' Dark Elves See but actually read it
Charles Taylor
Dark elves and high elves are basically the same thing except they follow different religions and philosophy, retardo.
Kevin Anderson
orcs are slavs and west african niggers
Mason Gonzalez
Orcs are hooligans/norf FC.
Nathan Bailey
High Elves are English, Dark Elves are American
Zachary Price
There is no american faction in Warhammer yet, praise god.
Look at the map. Dark Elves seperated from the High Elves much like the US seperated from the UK.
Asher Adams
Yeah, I get that, but dark elves culture are not american.
Mason Clark
Then why do you think HE meditation has anything to do with not turning into DEs >high elves in both Fantasy and 40K are strictly zen-like and actually do meditation, monk style, because they know being degenerate leads them to dark elves Why do you even think WHF HEs aren't degenerate as fuck in the first place? Aside from the obvious answer that you don't know shit about anything
Jacob Powell
Except if the high elves start to become degenerate, they will get corrupted by slaneesh and either turn chaos or become dark elves.
David Kelly
High Elves, snobby, colonial empire in decline. Dark Elves, degenerates who made wealth on the back of slavery.
Checks out
Lincoln White
Good lord, at least the dark elves aren't fat and worship orcs.
Kevin Gomez
I really like this design. It uses both parts of the human structure and insect structure blended together really well instead of being too lazy or extreme.
That's 40k Eldar, not WHF High Elves. HEs get drunk and have orgies on the reg, and spend their lives on art and frivolities all the time. Hell, Tyrion himself gets possessed by Khaine and STILL gets put down by Dark Elves, because they're an opposing political faction and not some force of chaos that they can just 'turn into'
Jose Wilson
But why? Skaven, Lizardmen and even Beastmen do not look that revolting. Besides Japs were pretty damn culturally civilized despite having war clans and killing eachother. I wouldn't expect something as nice as their culture coming from something nasty like a prawn-looking monster.
Orgies and art exhibitions aren't unknown to asians/japs either.
The moment sex becomes BDSM and weird shit, Slaneesh turns in, unless you are a tomb king or a lizardman.
William Miller
>live in not-NA >economy based entirely on slavery >in order to keep the economy going they wage endless war against less developed parts of the world using their giant fleet of aircraft carriers >love violence to an unreasonable degree, it's their actual religion >despite Morathi memes she's the only delf that can really do weird sex shit openly, being a member of the cult of pleasure elsewhere is grounds for a trip to the cauldron (it still exists in big delf cities, but veeeery secretly) Their americanness is not even subtle lmao.
