Time for some Yodeling!

It's been a while, and only Konrad has taken the time to reply with his own ranking. This makes me a sad panda. Konrad really went all out, though. I love your in-depth analysis, my friend! (smile) Maybe these others are just not European enough to understand this kind of thing? It's their loss, for sure. I hope you're well, Konrad ol' boy. Thanks for stopping by!

I keep forgetting to answer this... (tongue) Yeah, I'm definitely going to do my best to attend the Grubsian RanLAN. How could I not? I'll be flying out to China soon after, so maybe don't expect me to stay the whole time, though.

Looking great, Ash. Can't wait to see them on the tabletop.

The left shoulder pads were done using transfers. Th right shoulder pads were freehand.

I'll need to see one of 'em up close to make a proper judgement, but at the very least the banner and lava bases look very well done. Also, did you use transfers for the shoulder pads?

No worries Lun, the main reason I gave it up was the excessive amount of time I was spending thinking about WH stuff. Therefore I've put everything away and am forgetting about it completely and trying to use the time saved for extra Bible/other devotional reading and listening to GBC sermon podcasts.

Hey saq, just remember that fasting is only of benefit if you replace what you're giving up with some sort of spiritual discipline. It isn't useful if you replace Warhammer with constantly thinking "I wish I could be doing Warhammer stuff".

FYI I'll be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lent#Fasting_and_abstinence|giving up Warhammer for Lent] this year, so the updates on the DoW army will be on hold until after Easter.

You're right. The wording refers to things (spells, abilities, items) that affect the dice used to determine the power level of the Incantation.

Thanks Ash, one of the guys I played on the weekend claimed that since the incantation dice can�t be stolen or negated by magic items that this meant you couldn�t use dispel scrolls on them. I was pretty sure that that clause was referring to things like the old Drain Magic (that discarded 6�s rolled to cast spells) but was in the middle of a game so I didn�t have time to argue it. Now TK magic is good, being 100% reliable, but not that good! Mind you he also thought that you only needed US5 to get a rank in combat, not 5 models, so I set him straight on that one.

@Saq: TK incantations are just bound spells so they can be dispelled using scrolls. They are never cast with Irresistible Force (except for one of Queen Khalida's I think). @Grub: I remember that RBT.

2nd game yesterday, still no misfires. (Mind you I only fired once before the cannon got overrun by Carrion, it was worth it however as I shot the chariot from under a Tomb Prince) Ash, I have a silly question for you, can TK incantations be dispelled using scrolls? @Grub, they're plenty reliable, as long as you stay away from single shot eh?

GrubLord — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:56:06 +1100

And that's why the lesser races occasionally succomb to RBTE (Repeater Bolt Thrower Envy). At least until they see it in action. In theory, though, it's pretty darn reliable. Go elves! (miserable)

Second turn? I wish!

Konrad — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:09:49 +1100

Uhh.. a post with some international news! AT LAST! :D now to free my journalist spirit and flood you with personal opinions and spelling errors! Belarus, "Volshebnyi Krolik": wow.. i love this guy. his voice is amazing, and he is shining like a star up there. i can't se why you put this on #12? Malta, "Double Trouble": love the idear, and the whole small vs big person thingy, and they are doing quite well performing, but as you said, the song isn't that good :/ Sweden, "Du": hmm.. don't like the song. way to pop-ish, and boring. the performance isn't that good nether, but i guess they get points for having something to look at ;) Cyprus, "Thalassa, Helios, Aeras, Fotia": Kind of boring really. not my kind of music. but i guess she performs kind of ok. Armenia, "Barcelona": wow.. she's gonna be a singer when she grows up! Russia, "Malenky Prints": never heard Russian being this beautiful.. normally it's just like hearing the harvesters in the cornfields when Russian talk :P... i wonder what she sings about :S Macedonia, "For Love": what happened? am i still watching a song contest, or is it some kind of work-out show ? :S The Netherlands, "Click Clack": The idear is good and the tap-dancing-sole is kind of ok too, but the rest kind of falls behind, especially his English. Next time he should stick to his own language. I wish the song had been a bit less like a good-night-song and more like "I'm a raver" (awsome remix version / real version) Romania, "Ai Puterea in mana ta": Agreed. they look cute ;) but that's kind of it. i guess there performance is ok for the song, but the song is kind of boring :P. But i guess if you like this kind of songs, it's not that bad really ^_^ Georgia, "Blue Bird": ...... I'm speechless.. it starts out like this good-night-song, a good one, but still something i could easily fall asleep too. Then *BAM* it changes pace and they start singing like they have song together for YEARS. the English part in the middle could be spared, but everything else about this song just works! i can see myself listening to this song in the future :P Ukraine, "Try Topoli, Try Surmy": The song is good, and his voice is going nicely, but i really miss some scene-play. I want to see that boy running up and down the stage doing acrobatics while singing. it would really help the song! Serbia, "Onaj pravi": A nice song with a nice girl-pop-band image. i only wish they really did play the instruments.. would have been awsome! :P again a song with lyrics i wish i understood! Belgium, "Zo Verliefd": i see why this is #1 on your list! it got everything. a catchy tune, a catchy dance (no you don't wanna see me dance it :P) A lead-singer with a nice singing voice (who can say no to yodeling?!?), and i thing i think normally gets too little attention: the backup dancers are doing awsome! :D to sum up: This morning i got up with the heavy thoughts about having to clean up my kitchen, and i knew i was gonna take the best part of the day, but before that i though i would get some breakfast and check the net for news. What i didn't expect was that i was gonna use 2 hours of cleaning time listening to JESC music and writing this post. I think the music is fantastic, and i wish i could hear more of it in the radio, but i guess the radio-stations rather please the larger crowd and play some "normal" music Most of these guys/girls haven't even reached the age of 10, and they are already singing like stars? I'm amazed! My favorite you ask? Georgia, "Blue Bird"! wins the price closely followed by Belgium, "Zo Verliefd" And that is all from the danish music analysts - Konrad... hope you are well down on the other side of the earth! :)

Weeelll I haven't misfired yet, so you may be onto something Lun... Now back to painting Crossbowmen.

With a background story like you'll never roll a misfire. Number of misfires is inversely proportional to the quality of the crew. Compare your cannon with the engineered Dwarf & Empire cannons with their highly drilled crew which misfire on every second turn (rofl).
