Mein gotten.
I used the name to perform a Dakka search just before posting this, too. Nothing. How odd!
It just looks like The Librarian from Pratchett's Discworld novels!

It's mostly interspliced with GK threads, but there's actually another with almost the exact same name here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/353818.page

Hahah, that would be amazing! If I was paired against a Discworld army in a tournament I would have to resign on principle... The Librarian would give me the beatdown anyway.

I acknowledge that it's been part of the fluff for years, but in that period the game was a lot more light-hearted and contained many spoofs... Not like the much more serious, pseudo-gothic game of today.
I'm somewhat suspicious of this, arriving as it does so close to April Fools and also having the word 'Joke' in the name, phonetically. I guess we'll know for sure by April 2nd!

Of course that's real. They've already sown the seeds of their April Fool's joke. They've sent out their lackeys to rumor monger that Necrons are going to get an update.
