I think that the people who usually spell the word with 3 of the 5 letters missing probably dont care how you pluralise it.me_in_japan wrote:Primarch wrote:+1 to Grimaldus who once slapped down the princeps of an Emperor class titan for being a wuss.

+1 Grimaldus for his defence of Helsreach.
-1 to Vect for being the ruler of Commoragh, not the entire Dark Eldar race.

Re: Warhammer 40k character battle!
aha, but nae! Commoragh incorporates ALL dark eldar domains. Read the codex before you slander Vecty boy, chiefy. He really is the boss of all dark eldar, everywhere. Sure, they may not like it, but when he says "shit" they say "what shape, sah?!"Primarch wrote:

so, scorekeeper, belay that -1 from Prim the Misinformed. While youre at it, get rid of that +1 for Grimaldus. I mean, where the heck is Helsreach, anyway? 1 planet? pfah. unimportant. Show me a human who destroyed a whole realm cos it wasn't showing him the proppa respec'. Dat's how badass Vect is...
*hemhem* (clears throat preparatory to hold forth...)
"Commoragh is no mere metropolis, for it is to the largest of imperial hives as a soaring mountain is to a mound of termites"
given that the largest of imperial hives hold a bajillion people and takes up a continental landmass, we can see that commoragh is...big.
"Asdrubael Vect is quite simply the most devious and intelligent Dark Eldar ever to have existed...It is Vect's iron will that rules Commoragh to this day."
who da man?.........Vect da man!!!!

The Emperor?me_in_japan wrote:Show me a human who destroyed a whole realm cos it wasn't showing him the proppa respec'. Dat's how badass Vect is...
The leader of nearly every imperial crusade ever? (well, the succesful ones anyways).
Anyway, Helsreach is a city, not a planet.

Re: Warhammer 40k character battle!
The emperor, I concede, is comparable to Vect in terms of badass. However, he is not up for voting as yetThe Emperor?

Crusade leaders? I think not. A planet aint nowt compared to a realm. I'm talking plane of existence here, not kingdom. Y'know, the realm of Shaa'dom n whatnot.
well in that case, double pah! to ol' Grimmy. A city? a city?!? Vect could do that in his sleep, with both hands tied behind his back, whilst being fellated by Mephiston in the grip of the Black Rage...Anyway, Helsreach is a city, not a planet.

Re: Warhammer 40k character battle!
Crusades are not over planets, but sectors. Likewise, Commoragh is a city in the warp. He doesn't rule the whole warp, just one very very very big city.me_in_japan wrote:The emperor, I concede, is comparable to Vect in terms of badass. However, he is not up for voting as yetThe Emperor?

Plus, Vect isn't that much of a bad-ass personally. His stats are pretty good as far as a Dark Eldar goes, but he ain't all that. T3 with a 4+ save just isn't that great, quite a lot of things will insta-kill him should his shadowfield fail.

Re: Warhammer 40k character battle!
+1 Cain.
The quote from his Wikipedia entry says it better than I ever could;
"Cain is the sort of person he himself is supposed to execute: self-serving, incredibly paranoid, a truly skilled liar, and happy to put as many bodies between him and the enemy as possible in order to save his own skin. The author has stated that the character of Cain was inspired by both Harry Flashman and Edmund Blackadder." (emphasis added by me)
-1 Grimblah,blah bloke.
He has a lobotomised skivvy carrying around bits of broken masonry. The bloke is either an arrogant twat or he is compensating for his tiny cock by having a giant cement "ego booster" dragged around.

-1 Prim for making a non-fluff reference for the second time. I move that all Prim's votes be changed to "Vect +1" as a penancePlus, Vect isn't that much of a bad-ass personally.

re: Cain as Blackader - oh god hell yes. He's absolutely blackadder. Heck, at one point Jurgen even comes up with a cunning plan...
didnt say he did, chiefy. Commoragh isnt in the warp, either. It's in the webway, which is a between-realm between the material universe and the warp. If it was in the warp the Dark Eldar would all be dead, what with them being a bit prone to the ol' Slaaneshi nomnomnom. And yes, technically Commoragh is a city, but only if you define city as "galaxy spanning collection of places linked by quasi-warp tunnels with a population of over a gajillion squillion."Commoragh is a city in the warp. He doesn't rule the whole warp, just one very very very big city.
I'm actually a bit surprised you didnt know that. I had always just assumed you were a complete 40k omnicog. Is it possible that you arent really that au fait with le fluff a la pointy ears?

Commoragh is not a plane of existence, it is in the webway, but it doesn't fill it. Commoragh is just one part of it and probably a small one at that. Otherwise how would the rest of the Eldar get around, not to mention the Necrons.me_in_japan wrote:I'm talking plane of existence here.
And no, I haven't spent a lot of time reading all the Eldar fluff (note I didnt know who anrhrhrhrhrrr was either), nor do I speak any French beyond 'cafe au lait'. The last time I read any fluff concerning the webway was when Magnus blew a bleedin' great hole in it whilst he himself was in the warp.
