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.
