Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Parents: You have 15 minutes remaining to burst into the store and randomly buy anything that isn't nailed down in a desperate attempt to appease your beloved spawn.
Happy Holidays.
Hahahahahaa good stuff

After a rather horrifying entry arrived in the store today, we'd like to point out that our new conversion competition is for Vampire COunt models, and can only apologise for any confusion the misprint may have caused.
Oh dear, that's a disturbing image that is now etched onto my brain. Vagina dentata, eh?
The Auld Grump, and some of the conversions that I have seen of that thing....

The reason I bought rules and became a real wargamer was because I wanted a properly thought out structure to govern the action instead of just making things up as I went along.
Just a reminder that Monday Night is Ladies Night.
(To be honest, I'm expecting to lock up early).
(...)
Big shout out to San and Tray who came out for Ladies Night last night. They seemed to have a lot of fun, certainly they giggled a lot.
Just a quick reminder; it's called a Space Marine, not 'little fella', and the models are always on display in the cabinet, no need to ask the staff to show them to you.
Absolutely brilliant

By 1-irt: Still as long as Hissy keeps showing up this is one of the most entertaining threads ever.
Viz actually did a GW strip a few years back, "34 year old obsessive War Workshop assistant". Not their finest hour, but it isn't even as funny as it used to be when it wasn't as funny as it was. Still get it though.
Can anyone make a guess at who is doing this site? Have to say its someone with a wicked sense of humour.
GW showed in the past they don't mind people having a bit of fun (the Golden Throne and Turn Signal on a Land Raider sites lasted for years, until they tried to start making money off of it) so hopefully this site won't go anywhere soon...
Pretre: OOOOHHHHH snap. That's like driving away from hitting a pedestrian.

I would say almost certainly a GW employee, not just a red-shirt but someone who does or used to work in a higher or development role - just based on the number of in jokes there are. The latest post, concerning the Horus Heresy weekender:
We cannot confirm or deny that there is a secret 'Gold Ticket' available for this event which allows you to spend the entire Friday before the event gently stroking Alan Bligh's beard and whispering sweet nothings into his ear.

GW Fulchester today wrote:As many of you may know, the next super secret release will be the Tau. The hard working staff at GW Fulchester found this out thanks to GWHQ's revolutionary new marketing method, which appears to the untrained eye like a dyspraxic chimp has been taking photos of the new White Dwarf with a camera phone, but is actually a state-of-the-art media marketing technique.

Also, how does one apply to be a member of the Ultramodrines? Are harsh trials involved, ones that would test my faith as a wargamer and resolve as a geek?
You must recite every rule of Dakka Dakka. BACKWARDS.
We did stock Death from the Skies, but head office told use we couldn't have any more after we folded the last batch into paper aeroplanes. You can order it from the shop, because we understand the reason people go to the store is to shop online.
Mannahnin wrote:A lot of folks online (and in emails in other parts of life) use pretty mangled English. The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.
