Revenge, I shall have thee!

[matgb]

Oh Michael? Look what I found:
Yup, it's my Elf team. The first miniatures I ever bought, and amongst the first I ever painted. Scarily, of the figures I own, they're also the best painted unit, even though I last redid them when I was 18, way before I'd spent 10 years working for the company painting figures every day. My Cawdor gang for Necromunda is quite good, but these just rule.

Anyway, the point of all this? Well, after last weeks debacle, I have gone through all the gaming crap piled on the storage shelf and dug out the team I know I can win with. So, firstly, a rematch my friend. When?

Secondly? londonbloodbowl. Only just set it up, no posts, or rules, or anything. If Mike and I are going to be playing regularly, might as well organise something, right? I've sent invites to those who expressed an interest, but anyone else, feel free to join and we'll see what we can arrange.

My views on Elves being informed principally by LotR geekery and Pratchett even-more-geekery... Yeah. And that's without even going into the films...

Orlando Bloom

* shudder *

I might let him win

Ahahahahahahahaha got THAT one in early, didn't you?

* giggles *

Pratchett got Elves about right as to what they actually are. LoTR paints them as being some uberdemigod type immortals with smugmode on permanently. dm_of_the_rings gets the correct way to treat 'em:

OK, Aragorn's also an arse, but he knows a dodgy Elf when he sees one.

and yes, had to get it in early, because it might be a good plan. That I messed the html up so it's all visible? Yeah, that's me being crap.

that's me being crap

But cute with it ;)

* makes stabbing motions at Orlando Bloom on the comic *

I mean Haldir, yeah, he's an arse, but at least he DIES.

Still, at least there's a bit of me Gimli in there as well.

Oy! Gimli is me, not you, all those silly mems tell me so. Well, except the one that said I was Denethor, but, well, can't have everything.

Worst Orlando being Elf moment is when he takes down the damn Mummak in the last film. Just wrong damnit!

Oy! Gimli is me, not you, all those silly mems tell me so.

Look, I got there first, AND I'm shorter than you. So ner.

[matgb]

Betcha didn't. We were doing LoTR quizzes on Xnet way before the films.

Actually, you probably did. Meh, call it a tie. We're both Gimli. How does that work?

First read the book when I was 7... O:-)

* is having strange visions of plaiting each other's beards now *

My head is in a freaky place tonight, isn't it?

[matgb]

Hmm, yes, freaky.
