Warhammer Meme thread

That is a meme few but old grognards would understand

 

Hahaha... well, you're not wrong! Even a large percentage of dedicated old school 8th edition players would not get the "Hortennse" reference since it was created via forum culture.

 

It was never one of my major haunts back in the day, but I did hear about that particular forum blarg-fest.

 

I was there at its creation. I bore witness to the rants that eventually lead to the creation of the Hortennse moniker. The funniest thing was watching the nickname spread from one forum to another.

 

Are they talking about Cathay? Because they can't be talking about the Empire, with its fractious, backstabbing City States, diseased, malnourished civilian population, weak, inbred nobility that has secret orgies with the Beastmen, Knightly Orders that cry themselves to sleep at night wishing they could be as good as the Bretonnians' Knights, crude half-arsed attempts to mimic Dwarf gunpowder weapons, Wizards that are driven mad by the magic they dedicate themselves to studying and ramshackle shrines and tanks that break down or blow up whenever they see real action.

Now, Dwarven faith, gromril and gunpowder, that's something I can get behind...

And if you don't...

 

As much as I like Kharadron, this meme is gold:

 

Now that's more interesting than the real thing

 

Phil Kelly would be proud. The spirit of his 5th Edition Wolfdex lives on.

True, but only for the time being. Dwarfs are misguidedly shackled to tradition and slow to innovate. In time, the Empire would eventually pass them by.
