The holy handgrenade

[Hoblit]

Now, I know how enamoured most of you are with Games Workshop, but I noticed this in the latest codex (Black Templars) and thought you would all appreciate the lack of originality/excellent homage to Monty python (Take your pick)

There\'s a weapon that you can choose, called \"The Holy Orb of Antioch\" It\'s thrown like a grenade.

Just thought you could use this for GW bashing or Monty Python Quoting.

Knock yourselves out

Hmmmm, not just that, but the computer game Worms and Worms 2 had a \"Holy Handgrenade\". Nothing like a nuclear handgrenade that detonates to Handel\'s Hallelujah Chorus. lol

Quite an old game, but immensely fun - it can get physical too.

When do you figure GW will come out with the killer white rabbit ?

 

[Ritual]

The white killer rabbit will be released right after the regiment of knights who say \'Ni!\' armed with herrings!

LOL, and what du you think a shrubbery will give you as extra bonus?

 

[Hoblit]

That depends, has the moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at anyone yet?

And worms - Best game ever.

I\'m surprised they didn\'t do a Black Knight type special character for the BTs .

 

[Hoblit]

Well, they do have an Emperor\'s champion.

Souldn\'t take too much to convert him.

They do Have a sorcerer named tim just llok at the beatman shaman. Do the Knights who say Ni get a -1 to hit if they have a shubbery? (Counts as being in woods). Why are you people surprised with GW. Have a look at the nids (Alien) Catacans (Commando and rambo) O could go on.

 

[Hoblit]

I\'m not surprised at the lack of originality, after all, just look at dwarves and elves. What I am amazed about is the lack of name change.

 

[Shawn R. L.]

Just remember this - weather it\'s GW or someonelse, it\'s only a model..............sorry

 

[Ogrebane]

Thats true and it doesnt matter who makes it or what its called if its cool I will still buy it.

 

[Hoblit]

I only pointed it out because I thought it was cool, being the avid monty python fan that I am.

Oh well, time to crawl back under my rock.
