				<description><![CDATA[ What's wrong with the box? <br /> <br /> I mean, besides the fact that the building back there looks like Minas Tirith, I think it looks great. What really burns my ass though, is that if this were a Tau release that valkyrie in the background would be on fire...]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Most fascinating is that it doesn't seem to have changed much in comparison to the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(39);'>FW</span> model, it's <i>really</i> close and in fact I don't really see a difference at all, personally. It's not like the baneblade, a side by side with a <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(39);'>FW</span> one and you can tell the difference. <br /> <br /> Gives me really high hopes for future models, though I expect Tau won't be getting anything as cool as that. ]]></description>

There's a genreation gap in that younger Japanes can usually hear and say these sounds while older ones cannot.<br /> <br /> When I was teaching I made a lesson using katakana 'ra' with two dots to represent 'la' and then used diagrams of a mouth to show the difference and finally had them do pair work on sentences like "this is the wrong long train" or "I eat rice but I hate lice" to get the idea across.<br /> <br /> Anyway back on topic:<br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.dakkadakka.com/s/i/at/2009/3/17/92a051ae8b3b793b480e9e2a76410287_1748.jpg__thumb" border="0" /><br /> <br /> Anyway this is a Kedia (note the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(27);'>De</span>+small I) Komando Sukaado.  Like I said, very lazy translation.  I don't think I've ever seen kanji or hiragana used to name a <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>GW</span> product.  I can only imagine how terrible their rule books are.</div></blockquote><br /> <br /> Most of the Japanese players I know have read the rules in both Japanese and English and very few rules disputes come up. Not more than you'd usually expect to find in a club anyway so I guess that the core rules translation is pretty accurate. The names may be incredibly lazy but there is a big advantage to it from my perspective. I can point at my orks, say "now I'm firing my big shoota at your tactical squad" and be completely understood even if that person has no idea what any of the words I just said were other than "orks," "big shoota" and "tactical". Similarly I can get a well of rapid fire Japanese directed at me and so long as I can make out "lazu kannon" and "dehu koputa" I know why he's rolling a dice. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Waaaaay off-topic now.<br /> <br /> It's a box, woot. I never really liked the valkyrie design or kit but I guess it will be nice for guard players. Hell, I may loot it for apoclaypse games.]]></description>

Two completely different world, normally not associated with each other, have people of like minds. Oddly enough, the slightest imperfection, or something that doesn't suit their personal tastes, and suddenly a person who is a coward in real life grows a pair on the internet and calls for someone's job.<br /> <br /> How about, &quot;Sweet!

If it was, i would said  &quot;its awful IMO&quot;.<br /> <br /> Why is the left side cropped off ? No one takes dynamic shots for products that is set in  normal poses.  It defeats the whole purpose of it.<br /> Sure, was the crop meant to convey / support with the right side of wing comming out of the frame? Giving the feel of it &quot;leaping&quot; out of the pic at you?<br /> Nice idea, bad execution, it looks like its going cross wind , which then again it doesnt make sense with the angle its presented at because it takes<br /> away the swooping look it had.<br /> <br /> <br /> Also could have used heavy metal <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(347);'>lvl</span> painting ( atleast their usual quality )<br /> <br /> This isnt about personal preference , its about presentation for a product. <br /> <br /> </div></blockquote><br /> <br /> <br /> ahh one of your few posts without a slowed &quot;xD &gt;.&gt; &gt;&lt;&quot; smiley or anymore i have missed.<br /> ]]></description>

Sure names like Cadia need to be transliterated but things that have ordinary names in Japanese should be translated, not just turned into katakana gibberish.<br /> <br /> Of crouse there is a certain cred to using foreign names.  'The samurai with the naganata attacks the ninja with the katana' is much cooler than the 'Japanese knight with the Japanese pole arm attacks the Japanese assassin with the Japanese sword'.  But to people in the 60s who'd never heard of Samurai, ninja etc the first sentence was gibberish.<br /> <br /> <blockquote><div><cite>LunaHound wrote:</cite><br /> <br /> <br /> Actually I read the Japanese codex all the time ( omg im sorry <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>GW</span>! )  <br /> <br /> They usually have 2 names for every unit.  1 name for katakana ( direct sound ) name , <br /> and the other in kanji / hiragana mix  ( the names they are used to )<br /> <br /> <br /> The reason you'll never see hiragana or kanji for the english name is ,<br /> thats exactly what katakana was created for ,  Its a signal to tell you its an foreign word.</div></blockquote><br /> <br /> (knows WAY too much) actually katakana was originally 'man's script' while hiragana was for women.  Later Katakana was used for gramatical particles like 'wa' 'no' or 'ni' and for omanopia (sound effects).  Katakana for foreign script is fairly recent (post war?  certainly post Meiji) which is why tabacco 'tobako' is usually written in hiragana. (/knows way too much)<br /> <br /> It's interesting that they do have a proper translation in the books.  Are they on line?  I'd love to see them.  My fear is their idea of translation is "<i>Shutingu fazu</i> ni <i>daisu</i> wo <i>roru</i> shimasu".]]></description>

The first syllable is extended, as per the western pronunication.<br /> <br /> (for those reading the thread who don't speak Japanese, "ei" or "ee" sound more like an "a" sound in Romaji. You know how you pronounce an "e" in "egg"? Just draw out the "e" sound.)]]></description>
