Hi, guys. A formal hello to one and all.
I've been interested in wargaming for most of my life now and, unlike ali657 (great paint job by the way, ali), have even played some games!
So, as a Pendraken minis owner/fan for many a year, I decided to take the plunge and join the forum. Did I do good or should I be saying, "God help me"?
Probably both ;D
Welcome to this interesting forum ;)
Formal welcome.
All is good here, but remember that not all of us here have our full dose of sanity!

Say what you mean, Will. ;)
A very warm welcome to the forum, Westmarcher.
If you don't mind the slight lunacy that appears here from time to time....I'm sure you'll have great fun.
Cheers - Phil
Welcome to the forum
Everyone here is very friendly but the topics sometimes go off topic quite quickly
By the way do Pendraken do Hussite war wagons?
Welcome!
Sorry WM, you cannot claim to be old when the answer to age onyour profile is N/A. Oops, so is mine! :- OK so it is 60 and counting, bu I heard on the radio the other night that. 60 is the new 40, so it must be true! ;D

Welcome. Don't mention the Saxons at Koniggratz. Someone did and didn't get away with it.
Welcome WM to the forum.
From a very young forum member who has yet to reach 50! (well for a couple of weeks anyway) :(
Welcome Westmarcher and thanks, from a fellow newbie.
Cheers Al

Wot about the Aztecs, then?
(Welcome.)
Welcome from me. The lunacy aspect of the forum is vastly underrated.
Welcome Mr Tmarcher, or may I call you Wes?
The forum is both supportive of and detrimental to your sanity. When I first joined I was shy and innocent, barely strung a word together - daintily dipping a trembling toe into the brave new pond of an e-forum. Now, I am still shy and innocent, but jump in with both feet and damn the torpedoes.
If you have any ego about your crafting abilities, prepare to have it taken out back by some burly realities and kicked senseless with the bovver boot of other people's photographs. It is quite surprising how few of the parents of these highly skilled and talented people ever bothered to have their union acknowledged in a formal civic or religious setting.
You may also find yourself seduced by the forum. There is a quite astonishing degree of creativity and innovation displayed by the aforesaid highly skilled and talented people, who almost uniformly have an interest in insects with piercing mouth parts - "bugs" if you will.
Then there are the very few, who demonstrate skill, talent, creativity and innovation and have a flair for communicating in their own blogs or some other witty, erudite and thought provoking manner. It is to be recorded that a significantly high proportion of these admirable chaps go without facial hair, because were they to grow a beard, moustache or even a goatee, they would resemble nothing so much as - and I may be indelicate here - the source of us all, a lady garden, a front bottom.
Whilst reading through the posts on the forum, I often acclaim the forum members by crying out aloud these bon mot in recognition of the qualities that I myself may be lacking, but that others (and they know who they are) display in almost over exuberant display in the pages of this forum.
Time for bed, my brain hurts - FSN
Welcome, Westmarcher :)
Yeah, and FSN doesn't get my jokes and I've got a beard.
Thanks, guys. I see you all outrank me and I'm only a Cadet? Well, as long as its Mouton Cadet I suppose I can live with that!
Mollinary - yes, I hit the big 60 this year. This means I'm now in the fourth stage of man. The four stages?
1. You believe in Santa Claus.
2. You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3. You are Santa Claus.
4. You look like Santa Claus!
=O
;D ;D ;D ;D - yes, I have a white beard and wear little gold rimmed half glasses to read lists.
I'm older than you, W.......And I look more like Worzel Gummidge, than Father Christmas.
(Have got gold rimmed specs......But they're not half ones like DP's)
Cheers - Mr Stick-Insect. ;)
What ho and welcome :D

No, Steve.....All the heads are as shortsighted as each other. :'( :'( :'(

Welcome, Westmarcher. The point about being at the fourth stage is that you've reached orbit and jettisoned the other three along the way.
60? Gods, we're letting children in here now!
Welcome Westmarcher to the Pendraken Home for the Terminally Bewildered :)

My 1000th post (and nearly a year later). Still not sure. :-\
But still here ..... :)
Seriously, have had great fun. Here's to post 2000 (God help you lot!).

68 is the 'new' old now I'm told.
I'm therefore young at 65.
See what you're saying, Jim. Here's raising a glass to us youngsters! <:-P
Hey ! :) :-bd
Congratulations, Colonel. <:-P <:-P <:-P
Cheers - Phil
Well done Colonel! Mines a lemonade shandy! <:-P <:-P :O) =D> =D>
Salut, Westmarcher!
I'd say you are fitting in extremely well!

You should probably be worried by that! :D

So which one of those do you imagine Phil looks like?
NO, no, no, Steve !
In Nobby's fevered imagination, I look like the Borg Queen. (Apparently)

[Funny how that always often sometimes never happens when I raise the flag. Can't wait to see them in their 'undress' uniform.]

fsn is the very embodiment of the opening lines of the Time Warp

That's me in the middle.

There are four of them!
If you're in the middle you are either between the second and third girls or both of them.
Does that make you either a nihilistic void or a split personality? ;)
