Warhammer pronunciation question

[Modderrhu]

So Tzeentch is Tzeentch (lahatiel),
Leman Russ is Léman Russ (reverend),
Nurgle is Núrglé (DM of Doom),
Khorne is a colonel,
and Modderrhu is Mr Derrhu (finn17 - Memorial Day thread).

Ah yes, much better now. People can really count on the CMoN\'ers to really set things straight. See what you started, Becca.

Nurgle is easy at least.

I find that thinking of Korn, the metal group puts me in the right frame of mind, and yes, how could you possibly say incorrectly New-r-glay?

Ah, you beat me to it, DM. If I\'m hearing Jonathan Davis in the back of my mind, growling \"Are you ready?\" at the beginning of Blind, or him screaming \"Dead bodies everywhere!\" in the chorus to the song of the same name, then I don\'t have a problem with that pronunciation at all.

And Modderrhu -- glad I can be of help... even when I\'m being no help at all!

 

[G-nome]

How do you all manage to say things so wrong? lol

And Beek-KA I think your pronuncuation is cute teehee

Any one remember the fast show thing on the unpronouncables?

Basically, we\'re trying to figure out how to pronouce something (or is it how to start a range war with potted meat?)
How do you say \"Tzeentch\" in Canadian? And how far can you fling Spam?

i already get that part seeing as ive already given the pronoinciation... what i dont get is the DM thing lol

Damn, I miss The Tick animated series.

Probably one of the best cartoon shows ever!!

I wish they\'d release that on DVD.

Another way you and I agree. STILL waiting.

If they can put some of the crap out on DVD that they are right now, why not something good?

 

[vincegamer]

\"It\'s spelled Norman Luxury Yacht but it\'s pronounced Throat Warbler Mangrove\"

(Sometimes it\'s like I\'m the only Python fan out there)

You will never get the correct pronunciation because if you did you would summon him and then we\'d all be in for it!

 

[Zora]

Funny how that works...

...you pronounce something the way you think it should be, and when somebody else brings it up, you question yourself.

I\'ve always used:

Tzeentch - \"zeench\"
Slaanesh - \"sla-nesh\"
Nurgle - \"nergull\"
Khorne - \"corn\" (stupid chaos people!)
EDIT* Leman Russ - \"lehMAN russ\"

The one to REALLY wrap your head around in the 40K universe: Saim-Hann

Pronounced -according to one of their own books- \"sam-hine\"!

Isn\'t this also a pagan holiday pronounced \"sow-win\" or something?

And you wonder why people hate GW!lol

 

[ipaintminis]

Maybe we were seperated at birth, or at least shared a room in the asylum together....

 

[supervike]

oh and another thing...

speaking of correct pronunciations...


supervike is actually pronounced as

\" bränzd a-\'dä-nas\'

\"bronzed adonis\"

 

[Levdir]

ah-LYE-talk? Hah!

And my craftworld\'s name is Eaahnsair. Have fun.

I can throw a Spam a good three threads. *rimshot*

 

[lahatiel]

And speaking (again) of the The Tick:

Khorne is a colonel

We can\'t forget the Tick and Arthur, trying to infiltrate El Seed\'s Cornstalk Army --

Corn Soldier, looking at the Tick and Arthur in disguise: \"And just what kind of Corn Soldiers are you two supposed to be?\"

Arthur: \"Uh, um... we\'re colonels?\"

 

[Zora]

Still one of my favorite lines: (from a Christmas episode)

\"It\'s a YULE TIDE!\"

 

[MarkusTay]

Now I\'M totally lost?!

???

Are any of you even remotely trying to make sense? This is as bad as that whole Curmudgeon thing.

lol:bouncy::flip:

 

[Wolf_Fang]

i gotta agree with markus now lol

 

[provoke_me]

are you guys saying you have never watched the tick? or read it maybe?
and while talking about the tick..why did the live action show get canceld?

 

[lahatiel]

are you guys saying you have never watched the tick? or read it maybe?

It looks that way to me... but that\'s OK, as long as we know what we\'re talking about!

and while talking about the tick..why did the live action show get canceld?

Because I\'m guessing that you, me, maybe Zora, and probably about six other people were the only ones who watched it.

 

[philologus]

The live action show rocked! Patrick Warburton made the perfect Tick.

\"We don\'t bobsled enough anymore\"

 

[supervike]

The live action one was funny, but I still didn\'t think it held a candle to the animated series.

Remember the one with the \'Terror\' was a hooded bad guy, who was about 80 years old.

Or the one with the team of superheros...I can\'t remember the name, but one guy was \'Carpeted boy\' who was basically just a guy in a carpet suit, that delivered a very nasty static shock.

best episode ever...

We should start a petition campaign to get that show on DVD!!!

 

[Levdir]

I\'d buy it...

Hells yeah. The Tick, along with Invader Zim, are the best animated shows no one ever watched. I haven\'t seen reruns of The Tick for ages, though...
