A long time ago, near the dawn of the 6th age, a youngblood excitedly un-boxed a regiment of Saurus Warriors. Their first of that age. The neophyte carefully assembled each fearsome fighter, only to be dismayed when a single Saurian leg fell from trembling hands to be lost forever in the morass of an untidy bedroom floor. How could a regiment function with only 15? Not to be deterred, a plan coalesced. An extra spearhead, plus a spare Saurian shield arm (minus claw) became a new prosthetic. This Saurus would be the champion of the regiment (the extra attack provided by the blade-leg of course). Thus, were simultaneously born "Argor, Blade-Legged" and a love for conversion and fluff. While Argor would not be the last mini brought to life with a little extra character, sadly time, money, and peer interest constraints led to fewer and fewer imaginative forays into Lustria. High school activities, university, a wonderful spouse, and a job or two conspired to relegate the hobby further and further. Eventually, dust consumed all. Now I know that story ends in tragedy. But! (and from what I gather this may be much to Scalenex's chagrin) there is hope yet! With a steady income and more free time on nights and weekends, I am excited to return and explore the realm of Azyr (and create further fond memories of Lustria), this time as a member of the L-O Community. Hope this introduction wasn't too ostentatious, needless to say I'm excited to join the community and also to enter the short story contest! I don't play much full-scale tabletop these days, but I'll see you on the fluff and conversions boards.
hey! Welcome to the forum! I look forward to seeing you in the fluff forum (Awesome introduction here, though! )
Don't worry, it was just ostentatious enough. I may like sad endings but only of stories, but I do not like sad endings to peoples' hobbies. Let us know if you any questions about game play, fluff, painting or anything else. Whatever version of the hobby you play, we have tactical discussions on it be they Lizardmen, Saurian Ancients, Seraphon, or Salamanders.
