OOC Warhammer Fantasy battle, anyone?

Idea: A fun, character driven fantasy battle RP w/o godmodding and with good writing.

Background: The city of Durnham in the World Edge mountains has long been coveted by the many races of the world. It is an important trade city between the Dwarfs and men, and it's population is a mixture of both. It does not fall under the dominion of the Empire, nor the Dwarfish kingdom, but is loyal to both. It is not Durnham's trade wealth or diversity that make it so desirable, however. Nestled between two mighty peaks, the metropolis is surrounded on three sides by impassible mountains. It is accessable only through a lush, pine forested valley that is easily protected. The city's one vunerable side is defended by high Dwarfish walls topped by cannons, bowmen, and handgunners. Not suprisingly, the envious eyes of Chaos look to Durnham as an excellent stronghold while the lunatic captians of the Orc tribes plan an exciting Waaagh! to be waged on the city. The foul Skaven, always plotting against their dwarfish enemies, see oppurtunity as well. The Empire and Dwarfs each want to protect the key metropolis, but each wants to exert more control over the city than the other.

Plot: War comes to Durnham as a Chaos champion gathers an army and marches south on the city. Sensing opportunity, the Skaven and Orcs each gather their own armies while the Dwarfs and Empire scramble to protect the metropolis... however they each wish to exert sole control over the city. The defenders of Durnham wish to remain independant from either power, and be rid of the beasts that attack them.

Each RPer will RP as an army (or a member of an army, if you wish), I will serve as GM in the beginning, but then let the war take its course.

Armies Available:

Hordes/Beasts of Chaos: Chronosia

Orcs!: Old Atlantia

Skaven:

Dwarf Army:

Empire Army:

Durnham's defenders(combo of Dwarfs and Empire, less gunpowder based.)

Others (Give a good reason why your race can be involved, and you're in. It has to be a warhammer fantasy race though.):

Maps and pictures to come! Please post a description of your army, with leader's biography ect. Armies can vary in size, but no larger than 20,000 depending on your race.

...There should be less attacking armies... People'll be stepping on each other this way.

Right-o, just to clarify, the Dwarfs and Empire are sending armies to defend Durnham.. but they will be sort of competing to get to the city first.

Chron, if you're up for a little RPing, perhaps you and I could do a little prolouge? Our armies meet and clash as your legion marches south through orkish lands?

Sure; why not? :D

(This sounds an awful lot like The Fall of Caladan...)

I already told you my objections.

I don't really like army RPs anyway, I joined Caladan because it was a character RP...

And I might join. I don't know much about Warhammer, though...

Nor do I really, I've never actually played... but it's fun just to have a bunch of creatures bashing each other's heads in...
