Old ent checking in - what has happened since last time?

#1 Post by Ramesesis »

*Grumble... Damn how much cobweb my account has gathered since last time. Well, damn I wonder if anyone still remember the mafia joke...

Anyway... Greetings samplings and sprouts. Ramie here, checking out the land. Been over in the Empire for long, but of late my ears almost broke to constant whine over the new army book. I am terribly exited by it, but cannot stand the whine at the moment. My beloved helblaster got better, my infantry is still trampling the foe underfoot and my priest will still spit our fire and brimstone. What is there to complain about? Bah...

I also heard some sprouts here took part in Animosity 6. Good for you! I played as my Empire alter ego, Mathi Alfblut, and I hope I kicked your arse and converted you to Sigmars glory, hur, hur...

Anywee, I am once more thinking about putting together a HE force of what remains in my drawers, use some of my WE minis to double in and create a kind of High elf pirate/privateer force. We shall see...

So, who is still around? Is Narmo still banned forever and ever (spits three times over left shoulder), does Eldacar rule as strong as ever etc.

Not that I particularly remember last time you peeked by, but it's safe to say "Not much".

I realized a while back that more and more game communities I used to frequent migrated to Facebook. Perhaps Ulthuan is next.

Facebook? Pfft... no I do not think Ulthuan, nor Asrai.org or Warhammer-Empire will go there. Have faith Eric!

And I am not suprised you do not remember last time I popped by, Silly Dragon, since that was like before Christmas. :mrgreen:

not much really has happened, at least in OT. andy tried to come back, but some people apparently get upset when someone speaks their mind occasionally, and dont let little things go, so he is still unwelcome here...

OT is dying, slowly but surely.

Hi there Rammy. I have also followed all the "gloom and doom" over at the Empire and it did get silly. So stay for a spell and have fun.

Yeah, I think I will hang around here and on asrai.org more for a while. A longtime member got so pissed of the doom and gloom that he deleted his account and left. Shame since he is a really nice bloke that have gifted me with much old empire stuff he did not have use for, and bits and halfused frames. An of late he had a spare copy of Dreadfleet that he sent me. For free.
Some people do not get what kind of people they put off with such silly moaning. I have even come to the conclusion I do not need to bring new stuff to my empire army. I just paint my second cannon, maybe assemble a second helblaster and there we go. No Altar, not gypsywagons, just infantry and cavalry supported by characters.

Oh, but I think I will make my own "demigryph knights" using the Fenrisian wolves I bought a while ago as mounts. A true Ulric elite, sort of! :P

I do not understand why there is so much complaining about the new empire. Yes they are strong but typically all of the new books are (sorry tomb kings). Their new models are nice and I look forward to the challenge of meeting them myself!

They're complaining because it broke up their one power-build and made multiple builds viable, but they all require actually playing the game to use.

So an ent, this time? Such a woody word, ent. Not a tinny one, like, say, tree kin.. Ow, the sound hurts! Better back to woody words... Eeeent. Rrotten. Although looking at the picture, your bark looks a bit tinny... ;-)

Anyway, nice to see you again.

Hey Rammie. You won't remember him, but my brother send his regards. He was under your command in the last u.net campaign.

Hope you're still drinking mead out of the skull of your fallen enemies.

Cheers.

Hey Rammie. Good to see you're still kicking. I'm never here anymore. Real life has kicked hard. :( Sigh. Miss the old times. Have a glass on me next time you drink to comrades!

Funny coincidence, just bought a Warhammer novel (haven't read one, or done anything else WH related in ages) and remembered this site. Sup, I guess? Maybe i should dust of some models, get my old nerd buddies back together and play a game of Mordheim or something. :mrgreen:

EDIT: damn, I just realized I joined this site when I was 14 :shock:. time sure flies... EDIT2: hehe, I looked at my old posts to get a glimpse in the past and apparently I posted the same thing 2 years ago.

Yeah, I joined the community back in the days of Taaveti. 1999 I think. I was 13 then and now I am 26.

I haven't even touched a mini in more than a year. Saw that HE are coming out next year again. Holy crap time flies. Maybe that will get me into the hobby again, and hopefully back on the boards. Doubtful. :( Can't help but think forums are a relic these days.
