I admit that I couldn't believe it when I first read the title of the update :D

Well, nothing more to say than a sincere and great 'thank you' to the Edain Team for this significant change, which unfortunately caused some arguments in the past, but it was always nonetheless the centre of the major attention and interest of the Edain Community and, specifically, of some devoted and 'die-hard' supporters: I can't think of anyone but our Dáin ;)

And, hopefully, it could be an indication to those who have always desired this, but often carried and developed this wish in definitely not appropriate and disruptive ways.

This is going to get a lot of people really hyped! ;P Very good job on finding a balance between the movie design and your own vision on the iron hill dwarves. Also very nice overhaul of the weapons, especially the crossbow and the axe really needed it ;)
Will this mean that another dwarven faction will receive this fast and aggressive feature to keep the "speed, armor and anti-building division? Or will the focus of dwarven infantry be more similar between the 3 factions?

Anyhow, GREAT work!!

I really thought my message and the others who gave a long constructive advice of the iron hills and veterans of khazadum armor specification has been finally heard....... You guys never fail to amuze me... You know what........ To be honest EA should give the rights to you guys instead.... You are still making this game alive and you guys are brilliant and really listen to the people around and do not ignore their fans.... If i only wish other game companies would just evaporate and would just be exchanged with people with good heart who actually could run a game and would deliberately change things in patches to fit the needs of those who are playing the game :) my prayers have been answered for almost 2 years of wait... just as you know it i still got the game from 3.8 down to the demo of 4.0 i dont know when the actual game will be released wherein these designs could be found but you know what my heart jumps with joy i just took a visit in this site and this site never fails to give me the hype and something to look forward to every day :) you guys are just AMAZING thanks for the rework!

Greetings Edain team!
I wonder will the new dwarves be released with the incoming Angmar patch, or on their own before Angmar?

Description

Probably the most requested change in the history of Edain: The Dwarves of the Iron Hills have been extensively reworked to blend the movie style with our own themes. They carry heavy armor and shields based on the film, but sport forked beards as described in the book and their signature color is red as introduced in previous Edain versions. Their gameplay has been redesigned as well: Where previously the Iron Hills were a fast and aggressive faction, they now focus on heavily armored troops.
