I voted dwarf because I like the idea of a forward fighting, implacable warlord who leads by example and can't be pushed around, literally.
I mean, would you follow the dude who gets knocked over and manipulated around the battlefield like he's the puppet of the enemy whilst he's shouting orders at you, or the guy who stands, resolutely in the face of the enemy, delivering telling blows and opening up opportunities for you to excel?
