Unfortunately, Ath-huir remembered that s/he was unable to dream a la the previous post, a la the previous thread, and cowered in terror as the Warlord Titan raised its giant mechanical foot to squash he/r into a million gooey eldar pieces...

Fortunately for her, she was turned into a specifically female Wraithlord in reality and not in a dream. And the titan's Princeps was actually Rand al'Thor (main character from the Wheel of Time books who refuses to kill women), so the titan just left the planet to brood and talk to the crazy man inside his head. She thought this was pretty funny.

Unfortunately, the titan driven by Rand al'Thor received an urgent message via the astronomican telepaths onboard from a reader of DakkaDakka who had carefully perused page 1 of the thread.
Not only was Ath-huir not a wraithlord, but a wraithguard, but his/her gender was indeterminate! This was enough for Rand al'Thor to turn his titan around in a huff, raise its quintuple-large-template plasma cannon, and blast it right at our unfortuante (at least for this post) hero/heroine...

Fortunately, Rand al'Thor had terrible aim. The shot went 150 feet over Ath-huir's head and struck a webway gate instead.

Unfortunately for you, RiTides, the webway gate opened into the room where you keep all your models. And if you read even more carefully you will realize that Ath-huir was in fact made into a wraithlord, and the poster who said wraithguard misread my post.
Anyway, Ath-huir then fell into a ditch and got mud on her armor, and causing her to look decidedly unfabulous.

Unfortunately, the badly aimed plasma shot had done more than destroy RiTides' models. A force of Dark Eldar was able to sneak through a rent in the webway and used the gate to launch a full-scale invasion. The only forces standing in their way were Rand al'Thor, Ath-huir, and a couple squads of Fearless Janitors...

Fortunately, RiTides was able to stash his models in the basement, and throw a big, steamin' pile of poopoo into the webway portal, which the emo Dark Eldar were too cool to go near.
This gave our brave heroes a chance to escape, but also left the Fearless Janitors with a choice- leave a mess uncleaned and make a getaway, or risk life and limb to set things right?

Unfortunately, no one cared about the pernicious side stories that were choking the thread. Meanwhile, Ath-huir and the Fearless Janitors moved to engage the Dark Eldar but were caught off balance and took heavy losses.

Fortunately, their balance was restored- as they were standing knee-deep in poo, which made them move about as quickly as three-toed sloths.
Rand al'Thor didn't have this problem, of course, and began warming up his plasma cannon for another shot...

Unfortunately, the voice in his head had other ideas, and right before the shot was fired he turned his weapon on the Janitors. None survived. (our hero excluded, of course)

Fortunately, the Dark Eldar were totally miffed at this outrageous slaughter as they had dearly hoped to carry the Fearless Janitors back to Commorragh to muck out the slave stalls. Instead, they collected Rand'Whoever into one of their ravagers thereby ensuring his fate as a living toilet brush holder and preventing him from ever showing up in this thread again. With a collective harrumph, the entire kabal disappeared back into the Webway oh-so-nearly empty-handed leaving poor Ath-huir by her lonesome.

Australia, unfortunately, and never got to play good videogames or go to encyclopediadramatica ever again. Meanwhile, Rand al'Thor channeled enough Saidin to destroy Commoragh, killing all the Dark Eldar who weren't off raiding, before escaping back into his own universe. Doomrider saw it, but he was too busy doing cocaine off Slaanesh's stomach to care.

Fortunately, Codex: Fluffy Bunnies was the best codex that GW ever released. There were no obvious examples of codex creep, but there were also no useless units. Plus, all the models for the units were released with the codex. In plastic. As such, almost everybody started playing Fluffy Bunnies, including Ath-huir, who got home late one night with the Codex, the Battleforce, a couple units to flesh out the army, and large amounts of white and pink paint.

Unfortunately, Ath-huir made the mistake of priming all of the models black, and was left with the daunting task of painting a decent white on top of it.
Since this was taking 5-6 solid coats for each model, Ath-huir was totally engrossed and didn't hear the knock on the door at first...

Unfortunately he was just a distraction while GW implemented their master plan. Now that almost every 40k player in the world had Dark Eldar/Fluffy Bunnies models, or at least the codex, they were able to unleash Joker-style laughing gas from hidden pressure chambers inside the models and books, turning all their victims into insane, hysterical slobbering madmen and driving everyone else in the world insane with their constant shrieking laughter.

Fortunately, that's how most GW hobbyists act, anyway, so the world at large didn't even notice a difference.
Ath-huir was spared from going insane by his frustration at painting a decent-looking white on top of black primer- he ended up gobbing it on so thick that the hidden chambers couldn't open. He was, however, left with a ticking time-bomb of an army, should the paint ever peel or crack...

unfortunatly, the first game he used his army, the models fell to the floor, cracking the paint, making the gas escape in a highly pressurised form.

Unfortunately, this story has broken out of the 40k universe yet again. But--suddenly--a warp storm erupted in whatever basement the rest of you lot have lately imagined our heroine inhabiting. The storm not only transported her back to the Grim Dark but also mangled the not-too-complicated-for-this-plot-device-to-work laws of space and time badly enough so that Ath-huir was no longer a wraithlord (wraithlady?) at all. She found herself now a seasoned and comely Farseer and perceived all that has so far happened as merely a particularly unnerving and nonsensical vision: basically, the space elf psyker's equivalent of a splitting headache.
