Mastercard just worked for me - ordered!

Off topic, but I thought it was Gull-y-Man.

Is it Gill -y- man?

Gee-yee-man?

I have to go with the way Alan Merrit pronounces it:

Roh-bu-tah Goo-la-man.

(Roh as in Robert, Goo as in Good).

Roh-bu-tah Goo-la-man?

Really?

Another pile of blame to lay at Merrit's feet.

He's having a tough decade.

I tried again and it worked! Sweet.

BTW, why noone commented on my discovery of changes to the Shadow Specters rules? Not even a "They're still crappy and overpriced"? Lame.

I am not so sure that is it. If it is supposed to be pronounced à la Française then that would not be it.

Omelette du fromage!

Reminds me of the huge fight the nerds @ Privateer's forum had a couple of years ago about how Khador is pronounced.

Shh!

We're trying to figure out how to say Roh-bu-tah Goo-la-man! This is serious, dude.

And this is why there are always more Marine products ...

I was going to write "Just IG, Panzees and Space Furries? Pass." But the SW only get a special character, so I gave them a pass. There's still 3 Ork klanz that need doing, right?

Next up is supposedly IG penitent legion/regiment vs. Tzeetnch, which is more important IMO

You’d think, and for years I’d pronounced the surname with a soft ‘g’, so a bit like ‘Ju-lih-mann’ (although were it proper French you probably wouldn’t pronounce the ‘n’ at the end of the word). But then their head of IP comes along and pronounces Roboute like an African name with three hard-sounding syllables and a silly sounding surname, and that’s the way it is.

Lemme guess – some said Kah-door and others say Kay-door, right?

chaos0xomega wrote:Next up is supposedly IG penitent legion/regiment vs. Tzeetnch, which is more important IMO

This is what I am looking forward to!

I've always pronounced it as Row-bout Gull-i-Men

Then again I have loads of woefully inaccurate pronunciations in my head. I pronounced C'tan as C-tan (letter C + Tan) and lord knows how some of these Daemons are actually meant to be pronounced (like Ix'thar'ganix)

Don't forget the Apocalypse datasheet, lord_blackfang

What, no mention of the Firestorm?

Everything else Eldar that FW have produced seems to be there.

So do I.... what is correct?

I'm pretty sure its pronounced Ka-tan. Not 100% sure though.

I'd guess the reason for this is either tthat he Firestorm is going to be in the next codex, or far more likely, it is lumped into the Falcon entry as a variant along with Fire Prisms & Night Spinners (both of which aren't listed either in the table of contents).

Alpharius wrote:Roh-bu-tah Goo-la-man?
Really?

It's pronounced French, so all anglophone people just don't even try and continue saying "Robot Gully Man"

Don't you mean Rowboat Girly Man?

Hey guys, can we quit talking about how to pronounce Roboute Guilliman and get back to talking about IA11? Take it to one of the millions of primarch related threads out there.

What else is there to talk about?

The book's finally coming out, the Imperium will lose (obviously), it'll have some new new rules and fluff and typographical errors, and we'll all just end up bitching about whether you need your opponent's permission to use it. Isn't that how all FW threads go?

I'd much rather discuss the pronunciation of the world's silliest Primarch name (well, second silliest - Ferrus Manus wins first prize).

Dude, the Ultramarines aren't even in the friggin' book!? start a new thread somewhere else...

Chillax! 'Twas a joke!

Apparently this is no place for humor either. I kinda think the Imperium will fair better than alot of people think. Regardless it looks great and being a Space Wolf nut since Rogue Trader means I will have to have it.

News & Rumors = SRS BSNS.

Maybe it's just me, but this book and the associated releases aren't/havn't been totally exciting. Yes, the Phantom was awesome to see. But it's one more thing I will never buy. Yes, the Shadow Spetcres were pretty awesome, too. But, again, barring being able to use them in regular games, this is another thing I will never buy. The Cadian winter stuff was (to me) something of a let-down. Finally, all this stuff has been coming out at a trickle for a long, long while. And, just as a book, totally discounting the models, I just think this release somehow pales next to the Badab extravaganza. I mean, I'm as moderately interested in Eldar as the next guy -- key word: moderately. When I said earlier that there was a reason that there will always be more marine products, I wasn't attempting snark.

Out of interest, what/who is stopping you using the Shadow Spectres, their Phoenix Lord, and/or the Falcon chassis variants in your regular (non-tournament) games?

I don't know what you're talking about. I bought a squad of Shadow Spectres a while back as counts-as Swooping Hawks.

I almost do wish that Eldar got less big-huge-titan stuff that 3 people in the world would buy and more smaller stuff. I absolutely love the Hornet; it's adorable.

You really want to start that argument?

Not looking to start a debate, more looking to find out which case applies here.

I don't have a regular gaming group and I don't like to spring FW on people in pick ups as a matter of the Golden Rule.

Fair enough then. I like to surprise people with my trio of Reavers. I break their models if they refuse to play me. Not my fault they chose Dark Angels as their army.





I'm not telling the truth, BTW. It was a Blood Angel army.
