This is the ritual to summon doomrider, right off of Lexicon, and the 3rd ed codex


Oh great Lord Slaanesh, send forth your servant, the Daemon Prince Doomrider!

Let our enemies tremble in ruptured awe before his fearsome visage!

Grant them an exquisite death, crushed beneath the flaming wheels of his chromium steed!

Permit them the ecstasy of being slaughtered by Doomrider's throbbing Daemonsword and his pulsating gun of gushing plasma!

Bestow on them one fleeting moment of pleasure as they stare in wonder and orgasmic delight at one of your most divine creations before dying at his hand!

Oh great Lord Slaanesh, for these reasons and many others that tease and titillate our imaginations, we beseech you, send forth your servant, the Daemon Prince Doomrider!


ahh the good old days of Perverted Slannesh

And whilst you're pointing and shouting at the boogeyman in the corner, you're missing the burglar coming in through the window.

Well, Duh! Because they had a giant Mining ship. If you had a giant mining ship you would drill holes in everything too, before you'd destory it with a black hole

You would only be killing yourself, for if I die, then the world dies with me.

But you'd die first...

Anyway, saying "If I die, the World dies with me" is basically confessing to be a Nuclear-Suicide Terrorist.

I'm not a pessimist.

I'm a realist.

Damn optimists ALWAYS get that one wrong.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

I used to be optimistic once, then I looked out the window and saw how fethed up the world is.

Be optimistic in the little things, otherwise you could be overwhelmed by the crapness that is the world at the moment.

Another 3 days without review and therefore treatment and she'd have been blind.
