I recently looked at the new Lizardboyz army book. I flipped over to the special characters and couldn't help but notice that all their mounts are named after the Dinobots. There's Swoop (Tiq'taq'to's Teradon I believe), Grim'loq(Grimlock. Kroq'gar's Carnesaur), and a few others.

Anyone else notice this?

isnt grim'loq the name of kroq's carny?

My mistake. I'll just fix that right now.

no probs
but it does seem they are running low on decent names

tiq'taq'to hardly sounds like a great character, sounds like someone making up names for a fun army

"I'll draw an X on your Tiq'taq'to with my Crossbowmen"

Ba dum tshhh.

and im pretty sure he will die
flimsy bloody thing, not built like a propper dino lol


trust me, im sure alot of jokes have allready been made about it XD

This has been known since the last army book.

/thread.

"Hey! EXCUUUUSE ME, Princess!"
-Link, that crappy early 90's Zelda TV show

.....

wut?

In all seriousness though, Wikipedia gives you this info.

[moan]
And it isn't like wikipedia have many Warhammer articles anyway...
[/moan]

I'm saying, EXCUUUSE ME for not knowing. I'm not a Lizardboyz fanatic like some people are (not saying names or pointing fingers).

I don't spend my days on Wikipedia and this is for a good reason. Wikipedia is one of the worst sources of info on the net. I could go in and write "Benito Mousalini was born on the 4th of July, 1922 and died on the 1st of April, 1984." It just gets that bad.

They have always made poor puns for Lizzie names, I have with me an oldish WD (#228) and in the Batrep (WE vs Lizardmen) the named Lizardmen are
Tarin-Tiino (Slann Mage Priest)
Ratatooui (Skink Priest)
Tinciwinci (Saurus Hero)
HunciDori (Skink Champion)
PoqiDoti (Skink Champion)

I'm not sure if Tinciwinci is pronounced TinkyWinky (Teletubby character) or Tinsy Winsy (Small)

The WE won, serves the Gecko General right

yeah they have Grimlock, Swoop and Slag (with spelling variations).

The dinos in question are even similar to the dinosaur forms of the coresponding dinobots.

Personally I think its too silly.

Hell, with some heavy coverting, you could make the Dinobots.

Just grab some Dreadnoughts, put heads on them, and then go crazy.

...and that would help the universe how?

Pretty jerk thing to say buddy, considering the fact that IT WAS A JOKE.

i was replying to your joke with a joke/sarcasm mix. i know it can't show well on the internetz, but i did it anyway.

With the names I have debated many a time grabbing some plasticard and trying to build a Dinobot Carnesaur just so when it charged into combat i could shout, "Me Grimlock, Me Kick Butt"

Benito Mussolini. You could, at least, have checked the spelling on Wikipedia.

I don't know, I always took it as an amusing in-joke aimed at gamers of a certain age. I personally miss things like this and wished GW would put in more humorous stuff these days.

I can't remember the name but there used to be a DoW regiment of Skink riders whose battle cry (When read out loud) was 'two pints of lager and a packet of crisps please'. This was before the rather chavy (yet occasionally amusing) sitcom sullied that phrase.
