==Interesting facts== * In 1992 BISP (British Institute of Small People) took Games Workshop to court over the offensive use of the word "Dwarf" as a magical creature predisposed to drink and hoarding gold but [[Fail|came out short]] and failed to win their case. Games Workshop later counter sued BISP (forcing its closure) for alleged theft from the Games Workshop premises and threatening calls. This event was referenced in several of Terry Pratchett's [[Discworld]] novels. * The video game [[Warhammer: Mark of Chaos|Mark of Chaos]] was marked with scandal after a Games Workshop employee was fired for suggesting the Dwarfs speak with a Scottish accent because "they are greedy overweight alcoholics anyway" in a printed release of Gamesmaster magazine. Games Workshop was forced to issue an apology to the minister of Scotland Andrew MacDonald. * Dwarfs were the first faction to get lore in any Warhammer setting, as previously mentioned above (not counting the Goblins because fuck Goblins). This bears mentioning again because fuck Chaos and fuck the Elves, Dwarfs were here first and are the eldest sons of the forgotten ancestor god Priestley. * Games Workshop actually owns a pub decorated like an in-universe inn with shields from various factions, called Bugman's Brewery. Dwarfs also created the setting of [[Blood Bowl]] when they discovered a mysterious treasure chest during a battle with Goblins and their eldest went mad translating the "Amorikan Football" pamphlets and books inside which ended up entirely changing the culture of their world. As a result, Dwarfs in fact have the highest amount of 4th wall breaking with the real world in all Games Workshop properties. * Lego actually ripped off the Dwarf Slayers in Wave 17 of their blind bag minifigure sets, including a "Battle Dwarf" that is a dead-ringer for a Dwarf Slayer. This Slayer goes with the generic Elves and Dwarves of previous blind bag sets as well as the short-lived Dwarves VS Orcs/Trolls themes of the past. Unfortunately given the strict policy of never glorifying war (outside of Star Wars and Tolkien at any rate) passed down by the founder of the company and still followed today, licensed Lego: Warhammer will never happen.
