Title: Hi All
Post by: Duckman on 17 November 2015, 12:45:22 AM
Hi I have been lurking here for some time.   I play mainly fantasy stuff using both my own rules and Warmaster

I have a real prediliction for animal based armies, I currently have Skaven, and Lizard armies for Warmaster.  

Its been some  of the more recent releases and comments that have drawn me out of my shell.  The Taurians look superb and will probably be next purchase along with some centaurs.

After paying that bill. I would be very interested in the suggested Duckman armies that so many of you are talking about. Thats really unusual and would really get me flapping.  I love the idea of ducks riding warbeavers.  - ( please make sure its a nice looking beaver)

Do you know when they will be hatched from Technos bench?  When they are I can see me raiding my nest egg

I think you could be right Phil. Hard to class yourself as a long time lurker after 24 hours

Hello Duckman.

May I welcome this excuse for more duck-related punnery? It's all a bit Daffy, but Howard you like to see it progressing?

As for the opening offered by your beaver, don't know if it appeals, but perhaps we'd have to suck it and see?

No, chaps, Duckman isn't one of my many personalities split off and made whole. At least I don't think so. 12:45 am, I'd taken green green, polka dot, marshmallow and "Thursday afternoon in Dagenham", so I was probably asleep, so perhaps I'm sleep posting? Is that a thing?

A quick check of the IP addresses various users are posting from should clear things up. Not an exact science, but a start.

[Right. I'll distract him, guys, while we check him out - anyone got any bread?]

Lurking about, eh? And people say my anatidaephobia is not real.

I'm sure you won't be offended (it'll be like water off a ......  anyhoo), but I'm not really in to fantasy wargaming. Just swan of these things. Unfortunately. But as long as you are a good egg, Duckman, I'm sure you'll fit in well. Welcome.

Quack quack, quack quack, quack quack quack (I've no idea what it means but I have often heard ducks converse in such manner and, as there was no splashing, chasing or biting of tails, I can only think it was good quack crack). Quack quack quack, quackety quack?

Like you say...Not an exact science, but I've half 'eliminated' some of the main suspects* already.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

By lurking i mean I have been coming on to the forum and reading the posts for some time without being a member. I eventually decided to dive in properly when the Taurians were released. It was the mention of a Duck army that Techno is going to make that finally persuaded me to join the flock.

Yes I never know what colour of beaver I prefer,  a dark brown is more usual but I quite like the lighter ones and finding a relatively rare ginger beaver is on my bucket list.  But over all after a duck I think I just prefer beavers!

Welcome Duckman!

As a long time lurker you'll know we're all completely quackers!*

Not sure about Duck Men but I'd love to see pictures of the Taurians, whatever paint scheme you go with.


*can't believe no-one's used this yet!

This whole thing seems quite fowl to me.

Welcome Duckman!  I'm interested in the fantasy miniatures too, trying to make a Warmaster Empire army with mostly Pendraken stuff.  I'm not as much into miniature fantasy beavers, although everyone has their own fantasies and I won't judge.
Title: Re: Hi All
Post by: Duckman on 18 November 2015, 09:33:07 PM
Thanks again for the wellcomes. I do exist, honest.

I love the Taurians, because I'm a Taurus. I really believe in astrology, its so true. I always read my horoscope and I am writing a book called the Zodiac Wars in which the signs of the zodiac are real races and are at war. The earth signs are fighting the air signs and the fire signs and the water signs. I want to fight some of the battles I have written in 10mm. The Taurains will be great for the Taurus race, and the centaurs for Sagittarius. The Headusmen will do for Aries and of course the fishmen for Pisces. In my book, the gemini are like men, but they go around in pairs, so I can use just about anything for them. If one of them dies the other does as well, so I may have to make some special rules for them.
There are still a lot of signs to be covered. I reallty want lionmen for Leo because my mom is a Leo and in my book the leos are a big part. In my book, I had to make something up for the Libra. I know it's an air sign, but I live near a duck reservoir and I have always loved ducks so I made the Libra ducks in my book.

So can Techno make some duckmen?

Apart from the others I mentioned there is always the "naked" beaver to look out for, that can be a bit bad tempered and scratchy if you catch them at the wrong time.

Now I'm damn certain I know who you are, "Duckman".......You posted that one from your home computer, didn't you ?
I wondered why your IP kept changing.....You were second favourite after Nobby, anyway.
You're nicked, chummy.  ;)

Oh! She's very handy with a triple-0 is Rachael Stevens. Painted a whole regiment of dragoons during the recording of 'Don't Stop Movin'' and in some scenes of 'Hollywood 7' you can see that her hands are always out of shot on account of an accident with some Antique Bronze.
