@Lizards of Renown is really running out of posts. Just a few shy of the mighty 5000. Gotta get that project of yours done. I'm quite curious!

 

We are in luck you are back from your hiatus, otherwise there wouldn't be any posting in the Meme topics

I am curious as well.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

I have tried to make up for my absence!

 

I just past the 3000 posts mark

I must say this forum is the longest I have stayed active on.
And it keeps me active in the hobby in return

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Post number 4999... couldn't resist the opportunity for this meme



Almost done

 

Congrats to @Lizards of Renown for moving into 6th place on the Most Likes list!!

Another step closer to having the 3 Tomb Kings players occupy the top 3 spots.

 

Haven't we all? and for quite some time, might I add

Grrr, Imrahil

 

someone is getting cocky
You cant post anymore before your project is done, so .... Give it to me!

Grrr, Imrahil

 

And lo, for the day came when he of great repute ascended to Slannhood. And he-who-is-known-for-great-work looked down upon the other lizards and said: "Be at peace my brothers, for I have ascended; and in the ascension shall cleanse and save you all."

And the Lizards cried out in happiness and rapture and the boldest of them asked "But how shall we call you great one?"

And the new Slann spake unto them "A name is not needed, for you shall know my good works."

And verily they would and the rejoicing continued. But the boldest of them all spoke again "But surely we should discern your work from the rest, Great One? So that the due praise may be given?"

And thus the Slann did speaketh again, "A name is not needed," he repeated, "for I am all of you and none of you."

"Well," replied the boldest, "then we shall know you as Lizards of Renown." and the Slann did concede.

And on this day there was much cele‎bration and laughter and revelry and the Lizards did go forth in joy for the prophecy had been fulfilled and-‎

Wait, isn't this the guy who didn't paint his own armies?

Well... Yes... But he HAS started painting now...

And what good works? Does he win the story contest all the time or something?

Well... He won it once... and the poetry contest once as well actually! But... yes, others have won much more often...

Right... the story seems to make him out as a real Big Dog, does he come up with the best memes or something?

... No... That's General Memebringer...

Has he created his own fantasy world?

... well, no... That's Scalenex and Lord Agragax...

Or are his painted models promoted by Games Workshop on their official website?

Well.... no.... That's Sudsinabucket... Um... WELL, THIS IS JUST HOW THE STORY GOES, OKAY!!!!! DO YOU WANT TO HEAR IT OR NOT?!?!?!?

[Sigh] Yes, go on then.

Ahem, right where was I...

(For the record, I chose Lizards of Renown based on the old Regiments of Renown models as I think they're still pretty cool)

Slannhood!

For me, finding Lustria Online was a real blessing. I've got a very busy schedule and being able to have a battle (8th Edition naturally) is few and far between. I found pretty early on that the forum wasn't like any other's I'd tried and that it was friendly and welcoming. So I decided to invest.

I'm not the best story-writer or meme-finder. I'm not the best painter and I'm not the most versed in Warhammer lore (or Star Wars for that matter! Sorry guys!) There are a lot of things that I'm not. And I don't claim to be.

However, I am a major fan of the 8th. I have a good sense of humor, a fair writer's viewpoint and am into helping others. So this is what I brought to the forum in exchange for what it gave to me.

I've entered every short story and poetry contest that's happened since I started. I even won once in both which was pretty cool. But I enjoy more having some appreciation for my fledgling writing and I like being able to encourage others in their writing. I've welcomed every new member that's posted an introduction. I remember what that was like for me and what an instant impression it gave for the whole site when I was warmly welcomed so I'm trying to do this for others. I painstakingly made my way through the ENTIRE just for laughs, dogs and cats and random randomness threads. Issuing likebombs left and right. Then took every meme I had stored and shared them myself. I got in the groove of providing regular laughs and enjoyed getting good feedback. I spent time going through the painting blogs giving due appreciation (there is some real talent burgeoning there).

Based on this, I did a submission to The Red Devil (long may he ribbet!) and asked for a new title. Everything considered, I felt it appropriate.

Now, when it came to my 5000th post, I thought I'd do some in honor of the site. Thankfully, I have a couple of friends with mad skills on drawing so I sketched out exactly what I wanted and then they've been helping me to put the idea into reality (which is what has taken so long, as I've been working this over with them until I felt like they were good enough to post, it has been very frustrating!)

Voila!



You'll note a nod to The Red Devil (long may he ribbet) without whom the site wouldn't be here, Scalenex for the short story contests and then some key others who I've interacted with and befriended on the site.

Of note is my fellow Knight of Eight, Nightbringer, and fellow Tomb King, Killer Angel.

Then:

Second voila!



As part of exploring LO, I found an RPG thread and was warmly welcomed into the party. While it is still going, I had some great times and the story telling of Erta Wanderer and Tk'Ya'Pk has been fantastic. Thanks a lot guys. @Nazqua, @Lizerd, @Erta Wanderer, @Tk'ya'pyk, @Sudsinabucket, @DeathBringer125, @TheCrazyKhorneGuy I hope you like the depiction of your characters.

And, to my fellow Knight of Eight, NIGHTBRINGER, I present: the Eternity Table of the Eighth!



As is only right, the first two Knights have their heraldry depicting the armies that they play. Anyone who pledges themselves to the 8th Edition and forsakes the AoS, will be welcomed to the table

And lastly, I have a new forum ID picture



Thanks to everyone who makes this a great place to hang out and for keeping the hobby alive. Thanks to everyone who has answered my dumb questions, liked my memes and for encouraging me in my painting.

And now, I can finally get back to voluminous postings!!!

Best, LoR

 

well dang that is cool as hell
