Comics: Boot camp - LAST BATCH before closure

[Amboadine]

Love the pessimistic outlook, how many ways will we die.

[Calisson]

I came to realize that I did not deal with the mightiest Druchii hero.
His incredible adventures in five tomes attracted countless gamers to Dark Elves.
Today, this is my turn to pay respect to a living legend.


Malus Darkblade.

His achievements are legendary. No feat is beyond his reach.
The impossible being done already, he keeps only the inconceivable on his check list. Which is almost completed.

Malus Darkblade (2).

Dwarfs have Gotrek.
Humans have Chuck Norris.
Elves have Malus Darkblade.

Malus Darkblade (3).

But Malus Darkblade has something special:
He gets angry. And when he does, he becomes really fearsome.

Explanations:
When Malus Darkblade triggers his special ability "Tz’arkan" (the name of the Demon which haunts him), he has a chance to hit a friendly model in his anger.

[Syjahel]

"It isn't dead, It's just afraid to move."

[Amboadine]

Going to make my next read through of the novels entertaining. Thanks.

[Calisson]

Recycle!

In the Land of Chill, resources are scarce.
This is why Dark Elves have soon developed a sense of making good use of waste.

Explanations:
Cauldrons of Blood never have too much blood.
Cold Ones are carnivorous beasts. There are many of them in a Dark Elf camp, which need feeding.
Warlocks must provide souls to delay their own horrible fate, and the more innocent the souls, the better.
Kharibdysses are sea monsters who make a feast of bones.

[Amboadine]

And here was me thinking the Wood elves were the environmentalists.

[Calisson]

... !
Thanks, Amboadine!

What purpose for recycling?

When the land you live in only produces chill,
all the time spent to get after other resources
is wasted for the production of what matters most: hatred.

Explanations:
When the author runs short of ideas,
he can recycle the reader's.
He hee!

[Amboadine]

Nice. I'm honoured

[Calisson]

Hiding assassins.

These professional can hide anywhere. Any number of them.
That’s beyond imagination.

Explanations:
There is no limit in how many assassins can hide in a unit.
The only requirement is that the unit must be infantry, and not harpies.
A single character on foot has the "infantry" type.
At 3000 pts, there can be up to 8 assassins. All of them could legally be hidden with a single character.

[Daeron]

Oh dear lord... This begs to be playtested. lol! Make it a Dreadlord with a 4++ (or 3++) and a dawnstone. He might even survive the trip across the table.

[Melle]

is it just me, or is the space between crone's feet quite substancial.
i wonder.....

[Amboadine]

One of those absurd rules that really does work well as a comic.
Sure there must be quite a few more.

[Calisson]

Druchii sayings.

Like in other civilizations, popular wisdom has cumulated a wealth of sayings.
But after centuries, some obscure maxims are no longer understood.

Explanations:
When an enemy charges her, the Medusa can stand position and shoot, with her sight special weapon.
But don't overanalyse what she says, she is not the smartest in the village.

[Calisson]

Druchii sayings:

You can do anything with Kharibdysses except sit on them.
(Admittedly, they are not very good at handling sand.)

Explanations:
Call it a Khaterpillaribdyss!
Just for the fun, and because he can!

[T.D.]

For all your garden and battlefield needs!

I want one!

[Syjahel]

This year's must-have item for the discerning Druchii Captain!

[Calisson]

Shadowblade.

Nobody knows his face, nobody knows where he is.
He could be anyone, he could be anywhere.
How could you tell before he reveals himself?

Explanations:
Shadowblade is the most talented of all Druchii assassins.
Idea borrowed from Syjahel’s list.

[Syjahel]

Shadowblade is the anti-Spartacus. No-one wants to stand up and admit to being him!

[Calisson]

Training.

Dark Elves are among the best fighters if only because they live in the Land of Chill, facing adverse conditions all year round.
A place where no daisy grows and no butterfly distracts the fighters.

Explanations:
The hardest the training, the easier the war. So said Sun Tzu, the Chinese writer of The Art of War, 2500 years ago.
Chewing daisies is what Cold Ones do when they fail the stupidity test. Chasing butterflies is what frenzied troops do when they fail their frenzy test.

[Syjahel]

Sunburnt Witch Elf :O

[xFallenx]

The Kara chopping down a tree with his chin slays me.

[Amboadine]

Very nice

[Heartshiver]

The High Beastmaster ones made me cry. Pure gold!

[Calisson]

Thanks for the nice appreciations!

Assassins.

They could hide anywere, spying and threatening with their deadly, poisonous blow.
That’s why gossips must be kept at minimum. Just in case there was some unwanted ear listening.
No wonder why most people hate them.

Explanations:
Dark Venom, one of the assassins’ forbidden poisons, deliver a death so instant that the victims do not even notice,
except for the sudden pain.

[T.D.]

The body count is high in Naggaroth
