Perhaps it means... "I am unyielding till the day I am slain"

[Vidd]

What’s amazing to me is to look at the difference in detail between this and the new chaos chosen knights. I hope to do make another go at this type of sprue when our next book is released.

Are the Chaos Chosen Knights good?
The detail on this Lord sprue looks disappointingly soft.

[KrysDagger]

I think the Chosen Knights look pretty sweet ...

Now... lets wait and see the assembled model .... you must need a break for the Mammoth .....

Squeek....

[icewolff]

Wow they thinked about the rune on the oathstone, very cool.

still can we not make a mould of this spreu, or is this agaisnt the law, it is not
a model they bring out, the conversion i see in that spreu would be nice, think i can better still be dreaming...

[Vidd]

Honestly, I'd prefer to see people make a resin mould of this rather than snip the actual plastic.

I don't think GW would appreciate something like that happening .

Of course they'd be outraged but it would be so terrible for one person to cast one sprue to create one model just so hundreds or thousands could see it?

One word. Lawsuit... Alright two, massive lawsuit.

Surveydan - could it be - only to Death do I yield?

Helbrimm - you are absolutely correct about the "lawsuit" to do that copy thing would be an infringement on GW's pattens, copyright, and trademark. The price you paid for the sprue would be the lawfirm's junior associate's hourly rate in that scenario.

Very cool model - dated 2006 - interesting as to whether that was the copyright date for this model, or the date of the piece itself.

Be neat to see completed.

[KrysDagger]

Everytime this thread gets bumped back to the top I get all excited thinking I am going go get to see the model ... and then I get sad that the pics of it assembled are not there yet ...

Seriously .. take a break from the mammoth (which is awesome by the way)...

Alas my beer guzzling friends, I have not bumped this thread to present pictures of the assembled model I'm affraid but to bring you other tidings.

Because of health problems that have arisen I am forced to drop the hobby side of Warhammer for the forseable future, because of this I am putting up for sale several materials I had laying around for future projects.

One of these materials, as you know was the plastic Dwarf Lord + Shieldbearers sprue. And I couldn't just toss this beauty onto Ebay without letting you guys know about the sale first, incase somebody would be interested.
So, if you are interested and want to beat the (hopefully large) Ebay buzz around this sprue please send me a PM with an suitable offer, we'll work it out from there.


Thanks,

just checked it out. it sucks that you broke yur leg and now have to sell stuff... is the mammoth for sale? hehe, jk

(is the mammoth for sale?)

but anyways, what do you think whoever buys it will do with it?

[Helbrimm Proudbeard]

I dunno, probably assemble it, yes, yes, I'll ask them to post pictures here .

[Perv]

I cant see anyone assembling it as it will just go into the hands of collectors and we have no need to remove it from the sprue. The sprue has the collectors curse on it and anyone thinking of assembling it will break their leg, just like Helbrimm did These measures are necessary to stop these things falling into the hands of gamers

Hope your leg gets better soon mate.

[KrysDagger]

I think my heart just broke a little ....

Sorry about the leg, that sucks...

I now have a new hobby, watching ebay to see what it goes for this time ...

Get better, and now this thread will finally drop off the map (unless I suck it up and buy it and assemble it in which case I will absolutly necro this post and put the pics here

QUOTE (RedZeke)Has anyone translated the runes on the oathstone or banner? I'll maybe take a crack at it this weekend if someone doesn't beat me to it.
I had a go at the Oathstone, but either it's beyond my translating skills, or it's just a bunch of random runes - more likely the former in this case .

I got the following words...

"Or" - Which translates to "I" (as in me).
"In" or "An" - no obvious Khazalid translation.
"Grimeni" - best guess is "The one who is unyielding"
"Addrengakha" - best guess is "SLAIN!!!"

So something like, "I am unyielding. I am slain!"

I'm very impressed with the runes so far. It appears some decent thought has gone into them.

Just a thought...

Maybe: "I am unyielding, I am a Slayer!"

Hahahahahahaha! That would be nice as heck!

[kgkid]

"Threadomancy!" - I wanted to shout, but read the post anyway...

And then I have read the thread again...

And found that surveydan77 was the closest in translation, but, according to 6th ed. dawi book, it is a proper fully translatable sentence... And I could not resist wrestling with it, just a little... I just love Dawi language, the way the words are formed to express whole sentences...

"Or" - Which translates to "I" (as in me).
"In" or "An" - Translates as will/shall/am going to/with purpose .
"Grimeni" - this should be read together with the previous giving the word "Angrimeni" (An-grim-en-i) ... "The person which is going to remain unyielding"
"Addrengakha" - broken into components (Ad-dreng-ak-ha) translates into "did (got) slain !(this is the 'ha' bit) "

This gives us the great battle cry: "Or angrimeni addrengakha"
So the closest free English translation would be: "I will remain unyielding, until I get slain!", or shorter: "Unyielding 'till death!"

So, sorry for going on with this threadomancy, I just felt that this is a good thumbs up for the Dawi fluff, that deserved the closure and I'm sorry I missed it originally!

Have one on me!
