The magnificent Legions of Lustria must again sally forth, this time into the frozen wastes of the north. It is easy to be intimidated by the prospect of contention with troops who are accustomed to the icy conditions. Ice Dance - Nurgill and Deentch However, the usual requirements of detailed planning and meticulous preparation hold just as true for this campaign as any other. Training specificity is essential. It may be hard to precisely emulate the challenges that will be faced in the Chaos Wastes. Sometimes, improvisation with what you have available must suffice. Bobsled Downhill Time should also be taken to acclimatize to the expected conditions. In this, as for any campaign, choice of protective clothing and equipment can place your lineup in a position of advantage, or disadvantage. Consider your options carefully. Aerials Of course, some of our champions will take to the challenges ahead as if they were spawned for them... Figure Skating - Maunto flawlessly performs the compulsory "Double Axolotl" Ski Jump - Oldladdin hits it out of the park! ... and often a delicate touch will separate the victors from the shamed. Curling - Chameleon Skinks It may be tempting to apply a magical 'buff' to pander to our squad's strengths, but other races have differing views about what constitutes 'fair' play. Speed Skating You mustn't forget that your opponents have their own niches and areas of strength. Sometimes it is best just to leave them to their token victory. Skeleton - Usually dominated by Tomb King and Vampire Counts. Lustria's only medal contender is Scalenex of Malodorex. Biathlon - The runes of accuracy really help compensate for those stumpy little legs. At times it is better to sacrifice a small unit of "chaff" to delay or redirect an overwhelmingly powerful opposition unit. Ice Hockey What will be the outcome of the contest to come? Only the Old Ones know, but of course, the valiant Legions of Lustria will strive in the spirit of the true Olympians!
Great stuff Bob, you improved a lot in this batch... also pretty hilllarious as usual. Ps. Ironjaw, Equip your new avarar allready.
What are you guys all doing up so late at night? You must be watching the games. BTW, I have a completely different idea for Ironjaw's avatar. I'll try to get to it tomorrow.
I think you might have been the inspiration. the Brain of Spawning of Bob works in mysterious ways....
Normally a comment like that would be self indulgent but this is truly one of your best threads yet. Writing-wise The jokes tie with some of your best classic series like Keeping Lustrian Warbeasts . Art-wise, I don't think you've had a series that was done at a higher level. It even tops your History's Least Successful Skaven Invasions. I especially like the Skink hockey player's facial expression.
It was a direct copy of every Australustrian Ice Hockey player's face. We haven't been able to put together a new team since global warming kicked in. And calling the Chameleon Curling Team my best work was self parody, not self indulgence. But hey, it worked for fishing compliments, so thanks!
I go missing for an age and I get friended, absence does make the heart grow fonder, like the curling team but I being a hockey fan the chaos moose team worked well
