Just say what race, then what unit in the race, (can be combo such as Combat Mage) what equipment you'd have and where you'd live. You might want to give reasons for your choice. Also, it might be better if you just said how you'd look (meaning not just saying what items you'd have). Also, keep in mind this is not real, so don't say what you'd be realistically, just what you'd like to be.

Skaven Warlock Engineer, and I have stolen Ikit Klaw's power armor =p

I'd be a level 1 corsair sorceror with the armour of destiny!
Then a 5pt magic sword, Biting blade perhaps? armybook is upstairs

I'd be a High Elf Prince/Mage, and would hail from Ellyrion. I'd have Longsword, Shield and Heavy Armour. I'd also have a blue cape with Elven Runes at the rim. My steed would be a Griffon (for its loyalty).

No doubt a Night Goblin shaman, low down the heirarchy, plotting the overthrow of my oppressors. Probably carrying a Brimstone Bauble without realising it.
I <3 Goblins.

And thus we enter a Tavern, in the corner sits a stranger clad in dark who asks us if we are blades for hire...

Tzeentch Sorcerer with a Disc to ride.

Seeing as this is Warhammer, He's an overzealous Witch Hunter, and he tries to burn everyone for being a heretic.

Man, if I was a Warham, I'd be a Dwarf Engineer, kicking it back with some Bugmans Best, and an Organ Gun that needs fixing.

This dwarf also happens to be BRIAN BLESSED.

A Slaan cos I'm fat, like to think and I'm not as dumb as I look, sound or your best testing indicates..

I'd be an Empire General on a Griffon. Flying across the battle feild directing my troops from the sky. I'd have a Runefang and some other stuff.

Bretonnian Man-At-Arms. Like I have the physique or training for anything else.

I'm pretty sure everyone here would probably be something like a Skaven Slave unless you managed to bring some Warhammer 2K technology with you.

I'm just not seeing how the ability to post on forums and paint tiny models makes one a combat sorcerer.

But I'd be King of the Gnoblars and Vice President of the Snotlings.

I'd totally be a vampire who doesn't pretend to be human.
After reading bloodborne i find the idea of running around a forest with superhuman abilitys munching on peasants while being hunted by angry villagers strangely appealing. I'm unsure as to whether me or anyone around me should be concerned.

Dwarf Ironbreaker. With a pocket full of gold and a nearby tavern.

Vampire with the Carstein ring.

A toss up between a Dwarven Ironbreaker or a Ranger.

orc warboss with shaga's screamin sword and ironback boar. WAAAAAAGGGGHH!!

Oldblood or a slann something very powerful and very ancient.

A troll.

Simple, filthy existence, but a damn fun one.

Slann, attended to 24/7 while you chill on your floaty throne.

If you get board you can re-arrange the continents or something.

Daemon prince of Slaanesh. Immortal, unstoppable, and impossible to resist, in body or spirit.

Plus the power of flight and being worshipped as a god by your mortal followers.

I'd be a High Elf Archmage on a barded steed with the Lore of Heavens throwing comets everywhere.....

You shall have my shield (what with having a Halberd and thus being unable to use it).

Automatically Appended Next Post:
And if we're going for realism, YOU might be a skavenslave but Empire free company sounds more like me IRL.

What we'd like to be is entirely different. Fluff keeps changing, however, so I can't really say.

Lizardmen sounded nice at first... until Saurus became literal one-thought beings that by the time they hit a few millenia might have a vocabulary as numerous as their teeth. Slaan are sorta nice, but constant threat of assassination and spending most of your time trying to interpret ancient plans / philosophical debates sounds like it'd get boring soon enough.

Skaven, well, how 'bout no. Same goes for pretty much every other race. Orcs & Goblins are too violent, Vampire Counts too parasitic, Tomb Kings too likely to be ordered on the warpath, Chaos a no for very obvious reasons, Wood Elves I'm bound to lose interest in anything other than kin and forest...

So, I have a handful of factions left. Of them, Empire Engineer sounds like it might be best - especially if I keep low rank. I might be able to avoid being sent to the front lines, avoid becoming an assassination priority, won't be looking into stuff that causes Chaos Corruption, and so on.

I'd probably not last too long, therefore if I was in the WHF world would be good chance of being dead :(

Based on present circumstances would best be described as a peasant.

If I could choose then I would like to be a unicorn in Athel Loren. Or else a spellweaveror a Wardancer. They are my favourite comabatants in the whole WHFB world I think.

So
Wood Elf, Wardancer, with singing spears and sighing swords in Athel Loren.

ps sorry just seen your last post Ktulhut, but have decided to leave in the 'realistic' answer, hope that is okay guys.

I would be Con'qua'kor the Warden of Huatl. I would be thousands of years old, covered in scars from my countless wars. The shrunken heads of slain champions would hang from my waist. I would have green scales with a red pattern runing down the center of my back and tail. I would ride to war on my Carnosaur Xiliquncani, armed with shield and sword I would enact the will of the Slann.

(This is all based on my Saurus Lord)

Meh, no need to apologize. It's not my thread, I was just pointing out the premise of the thread to someone who'd missed it. You'll notice I then stated what I felt I'd be under "realism laws".

A Black Orc with a massive battleaxe so I can get right into the krumpin

And to that end, I'll describe what kind of MoS DP:

I would be a Daemon Prince, warrior-eternal and praetorian to my Dark Prince.
I would have such stature as to look down upon the mightiest mortal heroes as children.
My visage would cause such mortals to fall to their knees in adoration and worship, and fight against impossible odds to win my favour.
I would soar the skies of the Old World, and many more besides, on great pinions of raven-black feathers.
My obsidian runesword would cleave flesh and soul alike.
I would be clad in robes softer than the finest silk, made of pure aether, and leave the wearing of armour to the hulking brutes of the blood god.

I would be Var'anth'oth, Nemesis, Opposer, Despoiler, Daemon Prince of Chaos.

Khorne.


Or failing that a Dwarf Engineer would be fun. But preferably being on the getting drunk and building crazy contraptions end of the spectrum rather than the serious putting grudges on other engineers that steal my ideas and fixing cannons.

Pirate_joe_666 wrote:Khorne.

Hey, picking gods is cheating. I'd have dibs on being Ranald otherwise.

An Empire Warrior Priest, I really want to walk around and bash people with an over sized hammer... sure that's possible right now, but I think it would look a little less insane in the Warhammer world.

Just as planned...

Mercanery, with my regiment in tow.

Pirate_joe_666 wrote:Khorne.

I didn't think of that if I did I would have picked Gork

Empire, a handgunner in the second rank, with faux-leather armor (my lord was cheap apparently) and a cheap short sword as sidearm... ready to steal the captain's horse so I can flee properly at any moment.

Runelord

So a naked runelord with no items and no weapons and no armor and no runes?

A full blown Daemon Prince blessed with powers of all the Gods and carrying a very big sword.

You can have your plans, I'm going to kick with my followers in the afterlife for a few decades. Time to get the party rollin'.

Melissia wrote:So a naked runelord with no items and no weapons and no armor and no runes?

That is a weapon in itself, is it not? O.o

Runelords come with gromril armour standard LOL.

Dark Elf Mercenary Lord, with magical throwing knives which may lengthen on his command into swords.

Including a wide-brimmed hat that may summon a giant ostrich, and many other tricks.

I would be a tomb guard ressurected for to serve the vampire counts armed with the black axe of krell and i am a wight king.

Dark Elf Dreadlord, with the Armor of Darkness and the Pendant of Khaeleth.

Maybe also a Biting Blade or some other magical weapon.

I would be a Chosen of Chaos Undivided, cladd in massive hell steel amour and wielding a halberd with a daemon trapped inside. I would be the scourge of the weaklings in the south.

Or failing that I would be a Bretonian grail knigth,

A slaneshi daemon brothel owner, don't worry guys I'm joking! Seriously, a VC vampire lord with my own horde of necromancers, each with a smaller horde of zombies, each with a bigger horde of blood drinking flies.

I'd be a Wood Elf, living in one of the few untainted areas left in the Old World and battling against intruders appeals to me.

Strange, maybe that's why I wont let my sister watch tv in my room.

I feel like a very lonely Lizard on this thread

A wood elf glade rider. Athel Loren is one of the few places in the Warhammer world that is relatively safe to natives (the farthest a trespasser has gotten is one mile in, and that was the Battle of the Cairns). No politicking like other elves, two other nations to serve as allies/buffers, and only one persistent enemy to worry about. Besides a natural life living on the land appeals to me.

I've quite happily be a Tilean scientist and scholar. Sorry to be boring, but I'd rather be an understudy of Leonardo de Miragliano than die on the end of a sword.

Empire lv4 Life mage. With Pegasus. ward save, VHS, RoP

I would be a mighty Tomb King with the destroyer of eternities...because I am really skinny, love to have mindless drones around me...and...
YOUR SOUL IS MINE!!!

A Slann. Cupped hands, so I don't flush my soul down the toilet. The finest skink retainer to feed me flies while I sit and ponder things.

Nah, who am I kidding.

I'd have to be a Dwarf. A grumpy old longbeard who thinks he knows it all...

Beastlord baby, twin axes, stylish chainmail, ramhorn helm to headbutt anybody who gets out of line then just rampage your way across the world, stealing peoples booze and goodies and party hardy.

actually now that I think about it, probably an emprire engineer with the armor of dink- boing... thats the Armor of ptolos+Dawnstone (50 points)

2+ re-rollable armor save with a cannon to hide behind.

Are special characters allowed? If so, Tretch Craventail; he's everything good about skaven. If not it would have to be a gutter runner, and I'd look like the rat on the gutter runner entry page...

HE Bladelord with the White Sword(even though it would cost 15 points too many).

Warrior priest would get my vote, the whole pissed off monk theme rocks. Carrying a big hammer and smacking some skulls.

I would be a Waywatcher Lord, with the hail of doom arrows ability, and that bow that hits like a bolt thrower but actually is used like a bow.. i think they are magic arrows or something. yeh because i just think that the warhammer world would be so much more peaceful in athel loren and i could stalk around hunting i could chat up the sisters of twilight and maybe get a free ride!! on the dragon of course....

In light of the new items from the rulebook, I'd like to change to a dark elf lord on cold one with the 4+ ward save heavy armor and a dawnstone.

I'd be a Brettonian Knight and I'd be equipped with one of those Damsels...

Tantras wrote:I'd be a Brettonian Knight and I'd be equipped with one of those Damsels...

I think you win....

I would be an empire wizard at war.

I'd be a scar vet on a carnosaur, just sounds cool.

Tilean Mercenary Captain.

Living the life, drinkin' the booze and fighting the fight.

Dwarf Slayer with a frosty mug and a brewery nearby.

Ogre Bruiser
-Mawseeker Big Name +1 Toughness and Stupidity

Looking something like that.

A ghoul of some sort, or more likely a cultist.

I would be a Paladin of Bretonnia or A Dark elf Black guard

IHEARTLARGEBLASTTEMPLATES wrote:I would be a Paladin of Bretonnia or A Dark elf Black guard

Aren't those kind of the opposite end of the spectrum? Ones a chivalrous holy knight, and the others a traitorous pirate. Thats like saying "I'm either Mother Teresa or Ted Bundy".

I dont play this game or anything, But Id LOVE to be that Orc dude on the dragon

Teclis.

'nuff said.

I'd be an empire peasant with a pointed stick who gets mowed down as an afterthought and splattered on the wall of my farmhouse.

I'd be a chemeleon skink, an egg theft expert to be precise.
The boss lizzards need mouts etc. it's a niche business

All of you would really be heroes and mighty warriors!?!?!?!? Thats not the way the world works! If I were in the Warhammer world I would be a cook!
Fighting the selfless fight and makin the world go round!

I know i'm a little late to this but if you're going to be starting up Bregan D'aerthe I want in. I got dibs on Kimmuriel Oblodra.

Maybe be somebody like Sigvald.
Beautiful,blessed by Slaanesh.
A suit of armour to match my body,a fine sabre,and shield.
Maybe a mount too,a winged lion or just walk.
Not to mention all the raiding.

If I was an Empire nobleman,or Vampire or Elf.
I'd propably just have more or less the same stuff.

i would be a wizard lord of the empire from the grey college.
possibly with the rod of power.

I'd be a necromancer of threads!

OT: a narcissistic High Elf swordmaster. Narcissistic High Elf sounds redundant I suppose.

I'd be a Moose that lived in a hollow rock with a neverending supply of medieval donuts.
then when Choas had finally crushed everyone (it will happen ) I'll emerge and proclaim myself a fifth god and be worshipped.

Ogre tyrant. Lots of food, some soiled armor and moobs. And a big toothy grin at all times.

Chaos dreadnought, armed with a blastmaster and massive chainfist, and the charred remnants of my Violators heraldry. Warp knows how I got to this backwater planet of idiots and monsters, but life is fakking wonderful when there is no meltagun or lascannon within 30,000 years. I kill and main across the Empire and beyond, my exploits recorded in legends that are told far and wide. Yet the constant mayhem grates upon my blackened soul, and I retire to the Chaos Wastes, bitter and dreaming of a grimdark future lost to me.

I tend my garden and begin a novel, but even this close to the pole war finds me. From my lair I watch budding chaos generals muster their troops, wincing as I see lavishly wasted points here and frivolous expenditures there, and overall a shocking lack of command - "Do these younglings not value musicians??" I bellow to the heavens, startling my flock of shaggoth as I discharge my blastmaster in angst. Despite myself, I descend to the blasted planes and dole out much needed advice to the neophytes. I keep their visions in mind, but I am firm and wield my chainfist with surgical precision, carving their forces into fitter machines of death. I send the children of chaos south, thinking of my own rampages in the lands of men.

A time comes when this backwards world shifts dramatically, though I do not. Chaos legions amass in startling numbers, under the banners of Blood and Change. I move through these throngs and am shocked by the sheer ORDER of it all. Whence Chaos? I cling to the outliers and the anomalies, those strange and misguided few herding forth monsters and rallying to the fallen gods of Lust and Rot. My energy goes to their war efforts, yet I cannot help but become embittered once again. The warrior hordes wish only to charge forward and beat the enemy to submission, jealously conserving their points and forgetting any equanimity of war. I find myself wanting more.

A warm breeze blows from the south. My sensors register the scent of bone and ancient parchment; sand grits in the joints of my sarcophagus. I cast one last glance upon the multitudes of blue and red plate, and then I begin to march to Khemri. My reactor glows warm with the thought of the challenge that awaits me in the desert ...

- Salvage

A Skaven, with a jester hat and a cleaver.

One-man Skaven Warpfire Thrower operator, awesome jury-rigged gas mask.
Basically, the Pyro.

I'd probably be a Dwarf Ranger but with a Dwarven Handgun instead of a crossbow. I know, I know, I can just see all the Longbeards shaking their heads and grumbling how all the beardlings are just not right in the head anymore...

A High Elf in the southern part of Ulthuan away from all the fighting

I'd be an Elven Prince of Chrace riding my loyal, armor clad War Lion. I'd wear Bright silver armor, ornately decorated with flourishes and lion emblems over my off white and purple trimmed robe. My head would be adorned with a Lionhelm (Dragonhelm) while the Radiant Gem of Hoeth shone brightly embedded in my left vambrace. In my right hand I'd wield a mighty axe which I used to slay the two White Lions whose pelts adorn my backside with their heads mounted neatly upon my shoulders.

Either a Tomb King of Khemri or a Sylvanian Necromancer. I like the idea of raising the dead to do my bidding

Deffinetly a skaven grey seer(the succesor of thanquol perhaps). I would ride atop a screaming bell and shout orders at my army of rats .
I chose this because i love the grey seer horns and the traitorous personality of these guys .

I would be a fallen giant!

I would be a skink chief with a blowpipe and a large hand weapon, or a temple guard musician. It would be awesome to destroy any foolish small minded warm blood expeditions who foolishly wander into lustria!

Jack42494 wrote:I would be a skink chief with a blowpipe and a large hand weapon, or a temple guard musician. It would be awesome to destroy any foolish small minded warm blood expeditions who foolishly wander into lustria!

Need a mount?
I have great prices

A Vampire with a striking blade and flayed hauberk

High elf prince with great weapon, vambraces of defence and armour of Calidor mounted on an elven steed with ithilmar barding. Stationed at the out-post in Marrienburg.

I don't play WHFB (yet) so please bear with me.

High Elf from Spaghetti-Land(?)
I'd be a passive/aura warrior (so lots of bonus poop that doesn't take tests or whatev).
With a nice long polearm/halberd
and a shiny, winged helmet with a faceplate that is like seagull doors on a fancy car painted bronze/copper.
My shield would be similar in design to a SM Thunder-Shield from 40K, but taller and thinner, painted like helm.
With a big as cow-patty gray/dark green/dark brown dragon.

Deathmaster Snikch. Running around behind enemy lines without anyone ever knowing until I finally get close enough to my assassination target, quickly jumping from roof to roof following the unknowing ruler until I finally leap from the roof and bury my poisoned blade into his/her back, only for their entourage to hear a blood curdling scream of death and to see a deathly shadow disappear once again into the night.

Dark Elf Highborn with heavy armour, sea dragon cloak, sword and dagger of Hotek. I would take many, many raiding fleets against the soft shores of Britannia and Ulthuan in my lifetime, and distrust mages of all types, especially those of the Dark Convent. When I need a mage, I shall hire an illegal Sorcerer.
I shall excel in taking on many foes whilst supported by my retainers, who will be suitably illegal/random, like a turncoat Executioner and a retired Black Guard veteran.

Forest Goblin GREAT Shayman on aa Arachnorock Spider w/ catchweb spider shrine
And, of course, with every spell from Da little Waagh! lore.


M.K

A stegadon, with a bunch of Skinks on my back.

I would be a skaven vermin lord and i would just go around casting the dreaded 13th spell on everyone that chose high elves...bc they be nasty elvsies!
