Ulthuan

I've been toying with the idea of sticking a mage with shadow warriors and having them pop out in the backfield and be a nuisance. Trying it tomorrow.
Also. The 2+/5++/5++ prince is doable. Full plate, dragon helm, shield, talisman of protection, seed of rebirth, mounted on an eagle. Should be fun.

Look it's natural that humans will always try to game the system as much as possible. Some humans. That's why gentlemen's games are the way as opposed to tournaments. Took me 15 years of growing up to realise that!

:/ Ugh. Point for point re-rolls are so good. Means that their infantry are objectively better than ours? :/ Eternal hatred is an abomination that falls in the same class as ASF in my opinion. Hope to hell that the legacy armies, when they get released, are gone over with a fine-toothed comb. Intere...

Frankly I have no idea how this is going to work out in terms of power levels and such. I'm just keen to play again. Been on an extended 'not supporting GW no matter the cost because of the shit they pulled with the End Times' binge, but this has got me interested again. Well played GW. -_- What I d...

Tassets. Thanks Milli!

I don't mind the jellyfish so much. It's the helm. And the leg armour. The flat scale armour on the arms. And those little blade wing things GW is hanging off of the front of every single HE model's scale armour these days. Thank goodness I have an Eltharion the Grim lying around...

Oooooh ok the heraldry book has me interested!

-_- So they show all the other armies marching and we get a phoenix shadow. Colour me unimpressed. Cool music right at the end though!

When did GW lose the ability to sculpt decent armour?

Hmm I was going to start up Warhammer again this year but these models... Kind of on the fence. The models aren't THAT impressive. Hate the idea of a flying eagle-drawn chariot (although the birdy is pretty good). I dunno. Maybe they'll grow on me. Still prefer the 6th ed metals shadow warriors, so ...

Ah the memories... Good luck. I found these guys a load of fun to paint though!

Haha oh my I still remember that. Think we can safely call it a tie?

Passing of a generation, sadly. Sigh. Nostalgia hits hard at times like this.

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.

Hey Anathir! Welcome back to the Asur! Good luck with the painting. I'm out of the hobby for the forseeable future but I know it's hell to pick a good scheme. I never did settle on one for my guys either. Just went ahead and painted. I'll keep an eye on this plog...

Eeeeexcellent. Just as planned... Oh, uhm I mean, well done!

While I loved Mass Effect 1 and 2, I'm not as...invested...in the series as some, and I have not played 3. I have, however, been reading a lot about the ending and the backlash and have to admit, I think I'll rather stick with 2 and forget 3 ever happened. Maybe some day in the far future I'll get i...

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!

Wow I remember these. Didn't the tshirts start out when the Dark Elves blitzed across the map and razed Karaz a Karak? "I razed Karaz a Karak and all I got was this lousy t-shirt?" I seem to recall that. I also recall the desperate last turns as the Asur lines collapsed and we made a stand...

While I have not played or painted in more than a year, this might just get me started in 8th (didn't feel it when it came out). On the other hand, I was looking forward to Woodies, if only for the models. For the obligatory wishlisting, I can totally see Lion Knights happening. Too cool an op to pa...

Too bad there's no reason to actually use a Griffon. Or maybe there will be in the new Empire book.

Thanks. PhD supervisor didn't like it though. Exploded at me today (after he was 100% behind it last week). Wtf. Haha now that you mention it, it's just gone February. Since I moved to the coast my season clock has been all screwy. :P Guess you're enjoying a lot more winter while I die of the heat o...

Youch. Seems that Europe is shivering a bit. What the hell, isn't it supposed to be almost Spring there?
Happy news! I got a job as an iPhone developer. Now let's just hope I don't screw up!

Ouch. That's harsh. After that long, losing a pet must be like losing a child.

Going for my second job interview in three hours. Decided to put the PhD on hold for a while. In other news, just took up skateboarding at the ripe old age of 26 and it is TERRIFYING. Already took a massive fall and almost dislocated my shoulder but I shall persist! No plank with four wheels will de...

I still remember the "Celine Dion is the spawn of Ceacescu and Satan" sig...

Wow. Wish I'd checked in on Ulthuan.net a bit more frequently in the last few months. This is epic!

Now this is cool. Wish I was able to spend some more time on Ulthuan so I could have taken part! Oh well. Next year!

Wow, all the old timers coming out of the woodwork... Hi Elias. I still remember our First Legion days of kicking ass and taking names. It's what got me really involved in the site. And then real life happened. Good to see Andy alive too.

Wow. I just realised that I was here for every single thing you mentioned in the OP. Where has time gone? I'm 26 and it feels like I should still be in High School...
