As you say, it's liquid. But my understanding of WFRP lore here is that the majority faction of the Dark Elves follows Khaine and that Slaanesh is a small illegal cult headed up by the Witch King's mother.I'm going off of some early WD bit about the fantasy Dark Elves, who followed Slaanesh before turning to Khaine... I was pretty sure it mentioned Kaine being Khorne.
The Eldar have Kaela Mensha Khaine , Bloody Handed Khaine, whose avatar sometimes shows up on the battleground.
Not that it matters... everything is liquid in GW's lore.
I like the idea of the chaos gods having lots of avatars... like Nyarlathotep.
Was it rat? I thought it looked more like a some lizard.Get your meat pie! Made from genuine animal parts! Sausages so fresh the pig doesn't know they're gone!
Love a bit of Cut My Own Throat Dibbler.
Though I do seem to remember them eating rat on a stick in Conan the Barbarian. Around the same time they get black lotus and Conan punches out a camel.
It might have been a lizard. An exotic addition to the pie vendor menu!Was it rat? I thought it looked more like a some lizard.

Definitely my preferred format for hardcopy adventures! Gygax did it with B2 and it is still a solid format for writers that stick to terse, evocative descriptions and strictly gameable content. I swear that the industry must pay by the word because so many adventures are bloated with useless garbage that is unusable at the table. Many adventures feel like they were written to entertain the reader with lonely fun instead of being used at the table.32 pages, and thin as a razor blade.

I'm getting it from an old 'Regiments of Renown' article about the Witch Elves returning from exile to attack the High ElvesAs you say, it's liquid.

I love the Witch Elf aesthetic, and the new models really benefit from GW's improvements in dynamic posing. I'm not entirely convinced by the Lamias, but I guess now they're a full faction they need some conceptual and aesthetic variety.“They had turned from the worship of Slaanesh soon after their exile from the Elven Kingdoms, and, still drawn by the allure of Chaos, took the murderous Khaine as their new Master… <snip> ... For Khaine is that aspect of the Blood God recognised by the Druchii, and the Blood God, known to other races as Khorne, is the sworn enemy of Slaanesh.”
Not that there is any right or wrong about any of it. I'm just a fan of the older (Oldhammer) lore.
Wow you're right, the new witch elves look good. Even though I have been a fan of the franchise since age 13 I have to say that GW often fails at modelling female miniatures.I love the Witch Elf aesthetic, and the new models really benefit from GW's improvements in dynamic posing.
I like them too. Too bad they wouldn't fit in with any of my existing Dark Elf stuff... most of it from 3rd/4th edition era.Wow you're right, the new witch elves look good.
You should see my museum of old Warhammer miniatures. Skaven are particularly bad, the new stuff and old stuff don't match too well, I should just sell it off.I like them too. Too bad they wouldn't fit in with any of my existing Dark Elf stuff... most of it from 3rd/4th edition era.
Old Skaven are nice. The Middlehammer one's look like chimps... then the newer plastic were nice again.You should see my museum of old Warhammer miniatures. Skaven are particularly bad, the new stuff and old stuff don't match too well, I should just sell it off.

I keep wondering how GW plans to survive the incoming 3d printer/scanner onslaught.
They're not yet at the point of being able to produce minis of GW's quality... but it's only a matter of time. 5/10 years at most.
You win one internet for finding the reference!"Rat on a stick" was a line from the film Jabberwocky iirc.
I don't have any 3D printed figures yet, but I wonder if I would like the material in comparison to GW's plastic or good old metal.I keep wondering how GW plans to survive the incoming 3d printer/scanner onslaught.

Also, I still generally favor the hand-sculpted look over the computer-sculpted... it's harder to work character and quirky imperfections into computer designs.
All of them!I....what Chaos Gods are eating fast food?
A heads up that there are not one but two WFRP 1e Bundles of Holding available right now.
It doesn't have The Enemy Within, part 1 of said campaign. Or Heart of Chaos, the final chapter of the Doomstones series.A heads up that there are not one but two WFRP 1e Bundles of Holding available right now.

That's not what I have. Part 1 is The Enemy Within, a booklet in it's own right, complete with cover map, pullout full of NPC writeups, a breakdown of the political situation in the Empire, obligatory 80s calendar and rules for mutants.Part one is Shadows Over Bogenhafen. The original Enemy Within adventure is included as part of it.
They likely don't have the rights to Robin Laws's Heart of Chaos, which was published in 2001, long after the original Doomstone books. But that's kinda OK, it was pretty bad.
