Not been a member long enough to know you that well Yakface, but I've read a lot of your posts and you speak wise words and have excellently painted Tyranids . All I can say is that Mal has big shoes to fill. Just hope 40K doesn't get pushed to the side too much, I joined dakka because it was the best 40K forum I've ever come across (and I don't have the cash to start Warmachine ).

Still can't help but wonder if this is all a joke though, since it is 1st April. Although by tradition the joke is meant to end at midday.......... what time is it with you chaps in the US of A?

The world needs wannabes.

I know Malfred quite well. We used to play together as children amongst the gravel in cabrini green and dream of the day when we would be rich enough to buy man dollies to crush our enemies with.

Over the years Yakface and Malfred have been having a silent but deadly feud over who would gain control of Dakka once Russ Wakelin kicked the bucket brought on by a massive coronary due to his love of eating triple chocolate pudding and consuming heavily sugared quadruple shot breve lattes.


That day never came due to Mr. Wakelin's newly discovered exercise and diet regimen and Yakface took Dakka by force using tactics involving extortion and other nefarious threats. Many threats of which involved trollbloods inserted into...Oh, I cannot bear to say anymore!

Malfred was always at odds with how Yakface became to be figurehead of Dakka, so he sat and brooded...and plotted for many moons.

The day finally came yesterday when his plans finally came to fruition. It involved a few back alley deals with transvestites, but nothing as shady as Yakface used in the past so Malfred could retain moral high ground when he struck his blow against Yakface's Imperial Dogma.

The rest, as they say, is history....

Thanks for all your hard work with Dakka. Warmachine, eh? I have no complaint about that as long as there is always room for 40K.

I was kind of hoping that "Russ Wakelin" guy would buy the site. I don't think he'd ever do anything on the internet, though.

Working on someting you'll either love or hate. Hopefully to be revealed by November.

Yep, it's the 1st. The website layout change had me doing a WTF?!?!?!?!?!

Thanks for the fun.

No earth shattering, thought provoking quote. I'm just someone who was introduced to 40K in the late 80's and it's become a lifelong hobby.

So, uh, I don't get it? Why a bag?
