Thread: Neutral trading race in Warhammer?

The idea behind this post is to have someone able to trade with chaos, orcs, or dark elves, should those people choose to. Besides, I don't buy into this mindless behaviour you're inflicting to those fellows, even orcs can be cunning, and if that means NOT bashing something for a half second, they can do that, even if they are in the middle of a huge battle. So if there is to have any gain from a trade, they will trade. Just like...

well said. Hellcannons and Flayed Ones are two examples for trade. all of the "evil" races trade. the game might focus on their martial functions but without trading you cannot sustain any army hence trading is essential to specify Dark Elves-Slave traders Skaven-Warpstone Chaos: Tzeentch- Stock ExChange Khorne-Hostile takeover Nurgle-Bad Banks Slaanesh-Labours of love __________________ Meez a pazifist Orc Shaman, meez only...

yes meks was an example because ork/c "economy" works the same in both universes... as i said, the procurement of the "currency" makes the whole concept orky again and mainly it was just to prove the point that orks indeed do trade... sometimes... after beating other orks up for teeth... never said they were a race of traders though. mostly their "trading" with other races involves...

i'm surprised nobody's said this yet: Chaos, are the ONLY neutral trading force. they have done, and will continue to trade with all races, whether openly as chaos, or through more subtle means. the dark powers will always barter with other races in order to further their own schemes. not like the elves and dwarves haven't been tricked into trading with evil doers in the past :P

Marienburg is, to some extent neutral. __________________ It had been so long since they had last glutted their rapacious hunger. So long since they knelt at the altar of jerking limbs and mewling flesh. They could see the panicked faces. They could see the gushing blood, the knife-made orifices. They ran, weeping for joy. iamacyborg

Warhammer Fantasy Battle (and its expanded meta-universe) was created solely as a backdrop to people/orcs/etc bashing each other`s heads.Neutral races in WAR are out of place in a game centered on 2 sides trying to murder each other. But,speaking in fluff terms: -Empire trades with most civilized peoples (Brets,HE,Dwarves,Tilea,Estalia,Araby,and runs caravans to the lands of Ind,Kuresh and Cathay) -Bretonnians buy more than sell mainly because...

Marienburg is the free city of the world. It aims to allow all races in as far as I can gather but I don;t think that is really true as such, more the races of "order", as they are less likely to randomly kill things. Tilean's are by nature the traders, they appear to trade with anyone, content with making the profit, not caring who to. They'd be what you'd call a neutral trading race. Though I remember they...

I'ld say there is no such race in WH. But I wanted to clear out one point Dark Elves actually trade but no one knows, for most people in Warhammer there is just Elves no difference between High and Dark Elves (you can read this in several books). So I'ld say if they take off their ''outfits'' and wear something more friendly it's more then possible that they run arround Altdorf and Mariendburg and trade (for...

Ogres. Also, various Tilean merchant princes and mercenary regiments.
