Warhammer Races
The Warhammer setting is primarily populated by Humans, with Dwarves, Halflings, and several varieties of Elves scattered around the periphery. There are also some more unusual races, such as Skaven and Lizardfolk, as well as Orcs and Goblins, Undead, and freakish Chaos-influenced versions of them all.
Presented below are a few races that are more suitable for player characters, with GM permission.
