man...all i want to do is paint the buggers
?At the end of the day it\'s all make believe anyway (no, really it is!) so as long as you\'re in the right ballpark then I don\'t really think it\'s that important, particularly with very odd ones like Tzeentch.
It\'s great if you get it right, but unless you\'re way off to a comedy degree (like a customer in my old local GW who thought that the Space Wolf\'s most venerable and ancient Dreadnought was called Boron the Phlegm Handed! lol) I find it easier to let it go than dictating the correct way of saying it.

You can\'t really, it\'s one pronunciation in all fairness. Like Sturmy said lol
It\'s the name of a god of chaos, I don\'t think it was ever meant to be spoken correctly. The whole warped pronunciation of it makes it me chaotic and beleiveable.
\"z-een-ch\"
\"T-zeen-ch\"
\"Tez-neck\"
Any will work as long as whoever your talking to knows what your talking about.
Now let\'s get onto the real subject at hand. Who names the demon god of slaughter after and agricultural product?

Well I suppose it\'s hard to paint something you cannot name. Imagine every time Becca wants to paint a Screamer of... oh flock, wots-its-name-again, or a Flamer of... wotchamacallit... Because all of a sudden, the brain gets confused and short-circuits over the pronounciation of said unpronouncable devils. So she stands there in perplexity, and five minutes later, when normality returns, she wonders why she\'s holding a brush and a Screamer of... oh flock, wots-its... and the show starts all over again.Originally posted by green stuff

Really? Where do you game? Everywhere I have they say it like Lahatiel.Unless they are new, or a little off. No offense, but it\'s true.There was a guy in our gaming roup who mispronounced all of the Chaos Gods name. One of our friends made up language out of based on his mispronounciations.It was a mean spirited joke. But it was sooooooo funny.

I pronounce it like Sturm and Frenchkid but Lahatiel has the correctness right there! I\'ve never heard anyone actually say it though
