I had a test match against Dan titan last night (DElfs against Norse) and he stomped me into the ground. I must seriously re-consider my strategies against Norse I guess (ok, ok, he broke armour 75% of all armour rolls but I played silly as well)

@Indigo: I sent you a pm, the paypal address you posted here isn't working...(???)

Anyone taking star players to this thing? I'm thinking of adding Thrud to my Chaos Dwarves, which should be good for a few laughs. And a big gamble may be the only way I can win a game.

Gumbo - isn't that a cajun fish dish, maybe we can elaborate in that direction.

So Vodka with Mississippi sour mash and a sprinkle of anchovy/prawn slices for flavour (angostura bitters and worcestor sauce easier to get in a pub though - I'm sure there's fish in Lee and Perrins)?

Or Vodka, Southern Comfort with a dash of tabasco for that taste of the south?

I contemplated Team Luthor
Luthor - 380
1 Blitzer - 90
1 Catcher or Thrower - 70
8 Linemen - 400
2 Re-rolls - 100
1 FF

Total 1,000

More sensibly Zug could be an option for humans - more expensive but more reliable Ogre.

Luthor
Vampire
9 Thralls
2 rerolls

Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce has anchovies in it.

From the Lea and Perrins site

Vital Statistics
The main ingredients involved in the making of our famous Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce (as listed on the bottle) are:

Malt Vinegar, Spirit Vinegar, Molasses, Sugar, Salt, Anchovies, Tamarinds, Shallots or Onions, Garlic, Spices and Flavouring.

The first step is to lightly crush the British onions, French garlic and Danish shallots. These are then stored and aged in barrels of malt vinegar.

Once they are sufficiently matured, they are transferred to huge vats and mixed with Spanish salted anchovies, black tamarinds from Calcutta, red hot chillies from China, cloves from Madagascar and black strap molasses from the Caribbean.

Yeah think its a specialty in the Southern States of the US. I, however, got the name from the football hooligan film 'I.D.', named after a retard who works in a warehouse packing pickles. Nice. But anyway, tabasco sounds good, although Southern Comfort might be a little sweet. Tequila maybe??

He's in Living Rulebook 4, so I'm pretty certain he's allowed.

I was in that film! I was a football hooligan

Toying with using Ramtut, either in a Khemri, or in undead. You can do an ok undead side with him (Ramtut, 2 mummies, 2 ghouls, 7 zombies/skellies, 1 RR, 1FF) which would be fun. 2 Blodgers, 3 blocking mummies, and then DP......

Not long now - woo-hoo!!!

The Booksellers of Yore (necro) are ready for action! (that's not to see they'll be any cop, mind....).

Oh, and watch out for for the Mapelheim Maulers (Levinas's team). Should be up there I reckon.

See you all tomorrow,

Cheers

Only once they have cleared with husbands that it doesn't clash with a BB weekend!!!

Didn't you read the small print?

Yeah - she booked it before I knew when Carnage was on. I think it's worth 2 BB tournies....but as you have to spend all your brownie points in one go, so Amsterdam might be better........
