I don't see the word nobhead so I consider it inaccurate

TIL that wazzock is a British word. I've only heard it as a Dwarfish word in Warhammer universe.

Warhammer is made by a British company headquartered in Nottingham, where wazzock is a common local phrase that is believed to have originated a bit further north

Now I'm Im curious if any other words from this list https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Khazalid_lexicon are actually British English words?

Skree or scree is a real word for loose rocks on the side of a hill.

Also grim to describe harsh, we would say "its grim up north".

The rest are quite possibly a mix of old english/norse and also seems like there might be some asiatic in there like "kuri"

On that list i'd say chuff, git and skruff

It's an excellent word, a favourite of mine
