The Week 2 update...confusion.
Just finished reading the week 2 update from the NC site and I've got to hand it to GW for being -highly- selective with fluff (i.e. ignoring ours entirely and providing a HE/Dwarf landslide victory, see below).
Nabbed from the HE section:
'At Beligos Hill an outnumbered Dwarven force was aided by a host of Mithril clad elves who broke the flank of the attacking forces, winning the day for the armies of light.
In exchange the Dwarves have promised to repay their debt by aiding in their defence of the ruins of Tor Thana which stands under siege from countless sources.
The only failing of the Asur in this expedition has been their efforts to prevent the Druchii from arriving in the region. The blockades set up by the fleets of Finubar were unable to prevent the Black Arks of the Dark Elves landing on the coasts of the Old World . Now, the Elves of Ulthuan have a new task; to seek out the location of their treacherous cousins and drive them back to the cold land that they now dwell in.
The search for the Dark Elves' camps has already begun. One Prince Azharan has successfully located and routed a band of the dark kin near Mattengrad, and things will go ill for the Druchii who continue to terrorise the Old World if other High Elf commander can follow his lead.'
I'm going to go with 'umm, right' as a response to this.

The thing that galls me is the fact that its written in such a way that it should basically read - 'High Elves can do no wrong and will always succeed, even when the results say otherwise' - wheras we get stuck with stealing infants from a bunch of human towns, in total contradiction to our actual aims ...

okay we got to put our backs into it and participate in more games. I do not want to see our wretched kin beating us. I am quite miffed that the woodies are beating us but I rather kill myself than to see the High elf beat us in the ranking system. My mission is to find every high elf and wood elf player and challenge them and crush them into submission.
I am quite furious that we get no decent fluff and we have got to dominate the campaign.

I reject your reality and substitute my own
Well the WE/Dwarf/Brettonian/Lizardman dominance of the campaign was kind of obvious to being with, seeing as they have access to lists on a level 'above' the rest ( ), and in the case of the first 3 this makes them highly popular (around here at least).
On the other hand, I'll also be damned if we lose to the High Elves ... my grudge match this weekend after Hexensnacht will be fun

I know I've ranted about this already, but...
Was at the bottom. Of a week two report. Let's hope they are working on somthing at least reasonably inderviduall. They did for Medusa.
This is a summary of the events of the first week of the Nemesis Crown campaign. Next week's newsletter will bring you a more detailed account of the battles fought by each race, so keep reporting your battles if you want to influence your army's standing in the campaign!

Oh, I'm intending to be there as well, I've just got a willing victim (read: Asur) lined up for after its over. With 4 DE players at my local GW it shouldn't be to tough

I have read it but, vampires and chaos warriors are to dominant in your perspective. It is well written but I don't like it very much since you made Asur look like children. We are a challenge to each other though both sides are lothe to admit it. So maybe you could presente it in future, more of a fight while character comments to go along the lines of this story.
Also it seams GW does not acknoweledge your rebel group since they said something along the lines "Druchii are now united as never..."
Also here is an idea. Tor Thana is shifting in position so why don't we leave the poor old citadel alone as it moves to a different location and only introduce it back in the last week while we spend the time in between fighting in the Tor Thana region searching for the poping thing.

Both chars are lord level. A blood dragon, and a... Well, i'm not quite sure, but rather powerfull. Against spear malitia. Note, There were never swordmaster casualties. The Swordmasters were a serious threat indeed. The one lord level char there snuck up on Lisa, and thus his skill couldn't be really tested (as lisa commented)
I know there are casualties, but twenty of your weekest elves. Do I really make you look as bad as Goto makes the eldar?
Where did you get that? I cant find it.
And if it keeps on shifting in position, we'd never be able to fight over it. GW should make that point clear, cos otherwise it's confusing.

"The terror of the Druchii in the Great Forest is greater than the countless previous raids for now the Dark Elves strike in unison. Carefully coordinated attacks are leaving the beleaguered defenders with little clue as to where the next will come. With so few survivors left after these attacks, rumours of the perpetrators of the crimes name everyone from the hated Elves of Ulthuan to the agents of the Empire itself. Sowing discord and rebellion amongst the citizens of the Empire is of the greatest satisfaction to the Witch King and his plans to disrupt the claims of all the interested parties is beginning to take shape."

It doesn't say that Tor Thana moves, just that few ever find it. Elves never looked for it before of course we can find it it was probobly enchanted to blind Dwarfs man and orks above all other races.
Moding a group of Druchii.net players is much like directing the musical 'Cats' using actual cats. Frustrating, difficult, chaotic but ultimatley satisfying and a great deal of fun.

Yeah -- ain't it called Ithilmar??
"Ithilmar" is almost an anagram of "Mithril", and given that "Ithilmar" is an Eltharin word, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a corrupted Reikspiel form. It is irritating, though, I will admit.
