The Old World Histories - Karak Hirn | the Dwarfen Mountain Holds

This video will be the first in a series, discussing the lore and geography of various dwarfen holds in Warhammer Fantasy, now known as the Old World.

In this episode, we will go over to some of the key points in Dwarfen history, and then focus on a particular hold known as Karak Hirn, the Hornhold, in the Warhammer fantasy setting. Based on the lore, and banner hold colors, the second half of the video will showcase how to paint a dwarf of Karak Hirn.

Special thanks goes out to ekaslime and his very comprehensive, Hypotheticals of WAR blog, which provided a great deal of inspiration when researching the lore for this video. Please check out his blog especially if you are interested in learning about other dwarf holds in Warhammer and enjoy a more fleshed out description that can be missing from official lore.
