So yeah not much going on besides skyrim. I actually had a big battle report to talk about that used that one sold out missions book (i forget the name). It was evil (2k vampire counts, 1k skaven, another 1k skaven and 1k daemons) vs good (1k tomb kings, 1k high elves, 1k ogres, 1k bretonnia and 1k of something else (probably one of the other existing armies i thought was only 1k). So yeah i'll tell you enough of both if you decide to stick around long enough and read it.
Today my sister's package of a warp lightning cannon/plagueclaw catapult came through the mail. I expected her to get that of all the various things i asked as it was one thing and the easiest to ship. It was also pretty small in comparison. It cost about 27 dollars on amazon.com compared to the 33 dollars from a normal GW. I'm very happy indeed. I'll thank her over facebook right now. I think i will build the warp lightning cannon. I'm sure my sister didn't want to feel bad going into a GW this time and going around a bunch of nerds to get stuff so whatever. It's ok though because i got what i wanted.

Thanks man! Nice to see you. I had a game some time ago that i never got around to mentioning. It's in my previous post but the whole battle report wasn't shown.
Hopefully i can get the warp lightning cannon up. I don't get to play fantasy that much unfortunately but i do love it.
I've been playing way too much skyrim.
Other than that i'm going to be gone for 10 days starting in march so if you don't know where i'm at there's always a chance that's where i am.

Yeah no kidding and i want to play now but i'm unsure whether i want to talk to you now that you've joined my forum or stop resisting and play yet more of skyrim.
On another note i've got some stuff to do today with somebody for a bit (vague i know). After that though i should really clean up my house. Skyrim has helped get my sleeping and eating schedule really bad again.

Would you mind me setting up The WoC section a bit, So it doesn't look completley abandoned? And on the note of Skyrim..... Go and play! Just think of all the dragon soul's waiting for you to absorb them

Sure go ahead. I mean nothing like a fan setting up a section they're fond of. I would probably let you even mod the section if you wanted but this forum is so small that's probably unnecessary.
About skyrim yeah i do want to play and i will. The only things that bug me about the game are lydia not getting out of doorways when i'm trying to go somewhere, my horse glitching and falling several hundred feet with me riding it or similar horse glitches and dragons attacking you when you just want to quest around. It's nothing game-breaking but they are pretty annoying.

Lydia wasn't so bad until i really leveled myself and started wearing bad ass armor and started getting some awesome skill unlocks. Now she can't even handle two guys by herself while the same two guys barely take anything off my health. In fact currently the only things i have trouble with are mostly just really powerful wizards and all the damage their spells do. Everything else doesn't do much. I kill mammoths and managed to kill a giant in two swings of my 2 hander. I even kill dragons in seconds provided they have the balls to land down on the ground near me. It usually takes a lot to kill my character now. According to envoy the top amount of armor is around 500 something and any more armor than that is just as a bragging number because it doesn't do anything else for you. If true that sucks as i could easily get my armor to over 1k if i really wanted to.
I suppose my biggest deal with lydia or anybody you have to tag along is they love getting in your way whether blocking you from moving around out of the only door or get in the way of your attacks. Then when they get to really low hp they crawl on the ground and everybody stops paying attention to them (for some reason) until their health gets back to normal. Really i just try to avoid accidentally killing my companion but sometimes they die through other means somehow.
Something else i hate about skyrim is sometimes you try to click on somebody and accidentally take their shit to which they get pissed that you steal from them. Hey listen i don't give a shit about the dish you're standing next to. I have no use for it and you can keep it. I just wanted to buy crap from you. Sometimes they'll even try fighting you to the death which is a big mistake.
Also for some reason there must've been a glitch when i last played because we found out some woman was a vampire but i couldn't kill her in the vampire lair without getting a bounty. I basically had to return to her house in day-time which she was still in and kill her there and killing her wasn't even a part of the quest-line for some reason. That's really weird. I've also got a quest saying i should give an item to somebody i killed during the cannibal quest-line as i'm not a fan of cannibals. Technically you weren't supposed to kill them but you get 1500 gold from the priest they were about to eat and sacrifice. Funny how the 2nd time i loaded it my character's 'cutting the first piece' was chopping off the bad guy leader's head.
Also as far as skaven go i have to warn you with a few things. One of those things is that if somebody is using skitterleap you should watch out because they're probably going to throw something nasty at you afterwards. Also plague is nasty as are a few other spells but the one you really have to look out for is the dreaded 13th spell. It allows skaven to turn 4d6 guys into clanrats in a certain unit if they're all infantry. This is best used against elite units like swordmasters or warriors of chaos or such. You don't get any saves they just die if any of your guys haven't been turned and if they all get turned then they function as clanrats for the skaven player to use for the rest of the game.

Yeah i've heard some say it's overpowered but i doubt that very much. Plague is usually more useful but warriors of chaos annoy me so much i may be forced to throw the dreaded 13th spell on them. You can only take it with a grey seer or a vermin lord (haven't seen any vermin lords used ever). I haven't really seen the after effects of that spell but i don't look over many skaven players's battles. It's a spell you can substitute instead of one of the spells you roll for too. I'm not sure if only one wizard can have it but probably. Just remember to dispell it. It takes a lot to cast but 8th edition has made it more likely to succeed than ever before. In most cases it's not great since it doesn't work on monstrous infantry for some stupid reason so it's useless against ogres but against warriors of chaos or small elite units it's definitely the best choice of spell.

This is exactly why I want to stay away from computer games. Warhammer and RL, plus the new jogging routine and working.

Hey guys here's a question. Normally i'm not great with the ladies and switch my interests sometimes but should i try to talk to melissia, FFE or other girls more maybe? Since FFE is in a relationship i figure melissia might be ok but then she might be gay. Besides women tend not to want me as a boyfriend anyway most of the time. Still might try out that girl i knew quite a while ago in real life. I'm just not entirely physically attracted to that one though.
Well holy crap has this forum been busy in the last 24 hours. We've gotten a ton of guests in that time period and 3 members talking including me. I'm sure some of our accounts count as guest accounts during the 24 hours and some probably came here multiple times but still that's quite a bit.
Not much to do currently. Somehow i lost lydia in the thalmor area by telling her to stay there and she just never followed me. That kind of pisses me off. Is there like a return button for your followers? I suppose it's not a big deal as she did annoy me quite a bit but she was wearing good armor and weapons. I can still replace everything she had on her and get a new companion should i ever want one. Other than that i currently have 3 maxed out skills (two handed weapons, smithing and alchemy) and a couple like speech and heavy armor are high up there as well. I'm probably level 97-98 in speech i think. Other than that i've just been pickpocketing people in the game to get a bunch of levels and getting caught constantly. I'm really just doing it for the levels though. I'll see about maybe making better pickpocket equipment as i still have probably 12 grand soul gems still. I basically have a lot of money and a lot of everything. I have way too many potions and still plenty of garbage i need to get rid of. Thank god for the steed stone btw as it gives you +100 carrying capacity and you aren't burdened by armor anymore. This is basically a godsend to me. Suddenly i'm able to carry a lot even without a companion but the extra carrying space of a companion will be sorely missed.
Btw sometimes during pickpocketing just for fun i attacked said people when they found me out. If there are guards and it's a normal city you'll just have to pay a fine or similar as long as you don't kill anybody. I find it strange even an old lady tried to hurt my with a dinky little dagger. Usually when they attack my health barely goes down. The two times i did attack back i just wasted these people.
