All grouped in the Ironweld Arsenal (well duardin cannons, but our rocket battery and hellstorm and steamtank)

"State troops" are called "Freeguild Guard"

good god.


In more serious unhappy random thoughts, it's the 5th wedding annviersary today, and Ellies only just got back from hospital with Ted (he's fine).
Can we drink some Bellini's and eat our takeaway before passing out?! who knows.

Bad luck. Your child's health is worth a hundredweight and more in gold though, so keep smiling. If it's any consolation my son is screaming away at midnight and I've got a busy on call shift tomorrow.

I wouldn't have even taken him to the Drs, but he's got peniccilin and is about 1000% better today.
He didn't eat anything yesterday and must have only said about 10 words. Today back to his normal bellowing self.

I think they just slightly faffed over what to do, but eventually decided to check bloods and swab, but have given us anti biots anyway, and will inform us if any changes based on results.
They were worried it was maybe linked to his weird neck lump infected gland thing he had in september

Watching Warhammer Fantasy become Age of Sigmar has been like watching a good friend destroy their life with drugs and alcohol.

99 times out of 100 there is nothing more sinister going on, kids get infections all the time, I think we are taught up to 30 a year is not uncommon, he'll be fine!

I'm a bit miffed to look in the local paper today and find my 'friend' has published one of my caving photos in the headline article without asking me and then credited it to someone else!

Not sure if you're taking the mick or not there gneisenau but all my photos are friends only on Facebook as I like to keep them private and he's copied them without asking, given them to a newspaper and got them on the BBC/television. All to promote his new company. I wouldn't even have known if I hadn't turned the radio on this evening. I personally don't feel it's unreasonable to feel aggrieved.

I'm certainly not; apologies if I gave the impression.

What I meant was that I would be more than a bit miffed, if I were in your position. It's a really impolite thing to do, to say the least.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was initially very supportive of his New found fame which helps his business interests but the article doesn't just nick my pics without credit, it also is very misleading and is clearly designed to scare people into paying for searches (with his company) that they don't need. I think what's most upsetting for me is we were very best friends a few years ago and then had a fall out because of a caving accident and then he got back in touch and said how awful he felt, etc, I thought things were different and a couple of months later, boom, back to the old ways.

That's quite the story there! :-)

But yeah, I hate it when people use my work as their own. It's a different thing when they ask nicely and give full credit.

@S.O.F, actually I see it as Warhammer fantasy being Tolkien in a deep gothic depression and then AoS is when he started taking happy pills.(might of overdosed a little):-P

Anyway, unhappy thought, today was supposed to be a no work day where I could focus on my hobbies by my sister didn't plan ahead to her trip so now I'm stuck watching my baby niece all day.

On a brighter note, it took two weeks but my GW order finally arrived. :-D

I had that feeling some time ago. Now I just shake my head with sadness and continue assembling my Imperial Guardsmen.

That was destroyed too, when they renamed them "Astra Militarum".

Is the term "Space marine" trademarked by GW? If not, they'll probably update the name too! If it's not trademark-able, then change it!

Didn't they rename the storm troopers because they sounded too much like Star Wars storm troopers? They did all this a couple of years ago when 6th ed released, right?

I thought storm troopers got renamed because 'Storm Trooper' is to generic/historical. Not to mention the star wars connection.

Just had the worst meal in a restaurant maybe ever for me.

If that's fourth best restaurant in Bournemouth I really feel sorry for the people of Bournemouth.

I'd genuinely have rather had a KFC
