Hi everyone! My name is François (but, actually, even my own sisters call me Joe). I'm a french gamer, playing GW games since 1994. I started with Blood Bowl, then slipped to Necromuda, and, finally, I fell In 40K and I've never been able to get out of it. I also play Space Hulk and Confrontation.

I don't play as often as I'd like to, and I spend a LOT of time working on conversions (and from what I've seen in the galleries, I've still got a lot to learn )

Hey we all got started somewhere learning conversions. Welcome to dak dak.

Agreed,conversion is a difficult art to master,don't feel bad about it.Welcome to Dakka!

Welcome to Dakka!

Hey Blood Bowl Rocks!

Always did feel Orcs were a little overpowered with 4 blitzers, 4 St4 Blockers, AV9, skilled throwers and Agility 3 on all players.

Welcome to Dakka and good luck with those conversions - some great tutorials in these pages which will help.

Welcome

Welcome onboard!

Bonjour!
Where in France are you?
(I used to live in Marsielle, and we have family friends in Nueve Chappelle)

Bonjour!

I'm living in Paris suburbs but I'm from Amiens the city of Jules Vernes! It's in Picardie (North of France) which was one of the main battlefield of the first world war (and was heavily bombed during the second), and has the sad world record of the highest number of war graves and memorial cemetery (especially of commonwealth soldiers). If you dig the soil you have serious chances to find various kind of ammunitions (believe me, it's quite scary to find grenades buried in your garden ).
The other (and probably only other) interesting point in this region is Amiens' Cathedral, recorded at UNESCO as the biggest gothic cathedral in the world (Notre Dame? bah, just a cabin! ).It's the only building that has never been destroyed along the centuries and the (many) wars that took place there.

(Ok I stop there with the history and geography lesson)

There is a huge players community there, many associations and shops, which is not the case everywhere in France (it's even harder for me to find players in Paris than there!)

P.S: Loricatus, I agree with you, even if some other teams have been modified along the years to fit the level

Ah, I can't say I ever went to the Amiens Cathedral, but the though of finding grenades just lying around is quite attractive.

(BTW, I got it mixed up. We used to live in Monmatre, and the family friends live in Marsielles)

It's amazing what you can learn about pyrothecnics just digging a hole to grow an apple tree!!

Doctor: What happened to this one?
Nurse: He attacked a grenade.
Doctor: Attacked...?
Nurse: A genade...with a shovel.
Doctor: *sigh* People these days...

Salut!
