hello my fellow-druchii,

my name is marc and i´m an 30 years old graphic designer from the southern wastes of germany.

my first contact with fantasy games was the dungeon boardgame heroquest. then i started to play roleplaying games, boardgames, warhammer fantasy and - my favorite game at the moment - mordheim.

additionally, i´m interested in music (alternative, punk, gothic, wave, singer/songwriter...), books, comics, typography, kendo, iaido, politics and movies.

the first time i heard from druchii.net, when the revision was started.
from time to time, i read some threads on this page.
now i registered, mainly, because i want to help to develop a better mordheim-druchii-list.

for now, i´m looking forward to an exciting time on druchii.net.

farewell. :)

Hello, My name is Dennis, from Arizona, USA. Been playing the game for about 1.5 years. Main Army being Orcs for WHFB, and Orks for WH40K. Planing on getting into DE, Mortals of Chaos and Skaven, but not sure which one first.

P.S. I know this is my first post on the site, and I can't find the forum for noobs. So, I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong place.

Hi all druchii fans.

I'm Jérôme, from Brest, France.
44 yr old, working in the Navy, after a lot of travel in the world (over 50 countries visited).
4 children, 2 of them playing WH.

Interesting to see who you are, how old you are, in which country you live. Very diverse indeed, I wish that when this post is closed, someone summarized the statistics. Male-only?

Initially I was a role player in the 80's, but quitted in the mid 90's with a collection of minis that puzzeled my sons later.
In 2003 my nr2 started WH40K with a friend, so we started to play, my 3 sons and myself (seems to be mostly a male occupation). They took space marines and eldar, so I bacame the bad guy with dark eldar, which I selected for their mobility. In 2005 I introduced them to Fantasy world with Blood Bowl, which I knew since 1st ed but never played. Great success! Then they started WHB in 2006 and so we are playing in family, they have HE, Dwarves (shooty), Gobbos (shooty) and Bretonnians. I inherited a DE army from my brother in law and completed with Empire. I have to admit that I find DE very difficult to win with against heavy armoured armies (Dw & Br) or heavy shooting (Dw, Gob). ASF disgusted me to play against HE. Now, when I mean to win, I play Empire, when I agree to loose as the bad guy is supposed to, I take the druchii. Can't wait till August! I push my sons for a beautifully painted army with some role-playing fluff (giving names to heroes and sargents) with mixed success.

I Discovered druchii.net only recently. Compliment to most authors for the impressive quality of the topics. I found a lot of sound advice (and also some explanations for my losses, as I came to understand that my sons play a very competitive game and give me a difficult challenge).

I took the name Calisson for this website. It is my name as druchii general. All Frenchmen know that a calisson is a delicious sweet from Aix-en-Provence, southern France. In WH, the meaning is Son of Cali, knowing that Kali is the goddess of slaughter (among other more subltle things) in India, revered by my corsair army that settled there some time in the past, after a storm pushed them far away from Naggaroth. Now you understand the link with the Navy? Join us, its an extraordinary job!

EDIT: the new Army Book was very kind with my fluff.
It is in Ind that Lokhir found the metal used for the Red Blades. His ancestor Laithikir found the way to go there. It has been regularly raided since.
The rest of the story is not in the book:
A small colony of corsairs remained in Ind with the idea of establishing a trading post and in order to have a stronghold for incoming future corairs raids.
The colony flourished peacefully in its close environment, raiding only further away, and came to know more and more about the local civilization.
They quickly discovered that Cali, the local goddess of slaughter, was obviously an avatar of Hekarti (see DE AB p.59), the masteress of Dark Lore and destruction, many-faced and many-armed.
The local colony went well along with the followers of Cali, to the point of naming themselves the Sons of Cali in order to make themselves better integrated.
Now the colony is strong, they have a raiding army of their own, known as the Cali's Sons or Calissons to make it short.
Their general is The Calisson.
Their avatar is a Goddess with many arms and many weapons, bearing the bright colours of Ind.
end of EDIT.


Hi to everybody from a country I visited (most of you), looking forward to visit the few remaining countries (who I salute as well).

Go Druchii, the world is for us to explore and plunder!

EDIT: 1 year later, I'm still there :D !

These are my achievements => 1 year already! It’s Calisson’s birthday
My army is listed there => Total models you own
and here lies the philosophy behind the army => Getting to know your army and general (new version)
My style of army: Calisson's analysed approach to a balanced corsair army

Hi, I'm Arthur. I'm fifteen years old and I'm from the (glorious) Netherlands. ;)

I've played Druchii for about five years now and I own three Druchii armies. One is the feared and now sadly illegal Cult of Slaanesh. I've also got a Karond Kar list featuring two Hydras, two Manticores and some Cold One Knights. The last was my first Dark Elf army and is contains a bit of everything really.
I'm currently in the process of building a Lustrian/Aztec undead list (Vampire/TK hybrid) and I'm very pleased with the results so far.

In my free time I listen to music a lot, particularly Trance. Just awesome. :D

Hope to meet ya all on the boards.

Hi, I'm Tim Lewis. I'm 15 and have been collecting Dark Elves for 1 year. I also collect Vampire Counts, Space Marines and Thousand Sons. I got into the hobby 5 years ago when my parents bought me Return of the King LOTR starter set for my birthday. I eventually got into 40k first after playing dawn of war on pc.

Then after my marines got a bit boring to use I went to find a fantasy army. I was locked between the three elven races as i'm obsessed with elite, shooty armies. I then saw the Dark Elves for what they were... Pure awesomeness!! :D . I've been putting the fear into dark elf shooting and combat against my opponents for 1 year and I am still enjoying myself even when things go wrong :roll: . Can't wait till August!! :D

Well, first of all I’d like to say a big „HELLO!!!“ to this great community, for this is my first post here after skulking around the pages for a couple of months now.
Facing the upcoming release of a whole bunch of new and exciting stuff for the children of Khaine, I thought it was finally time to leave my hiding place and join in the merry and delightful slaughter that is about to come…

I am 39 years old and live in Essen, Germany, together with my wife and my 7-year-old son. Since more than twenty years now I’m into Warhammer (started with the 1st edition) – first with my O&G-army during the first two WH incarnations, but switched to Druchii with the release of 3rd ed.“Warhammer Armies”. Since then I’ve collected nearly 12.000 points of painted troops, but started a completely new Druchii army after the release of the awesome 6th edition models. This was mainly because they do not really fit together with the older editions’ models, but also because my painting skills were a little limited back when I was in school…
When not painting miniatures, I spend most of my free time behind the microphone as frontman of my band (Metal :twisted: )

Now I can’t wait to get my hands on the new army book and the great new models…and I’m quite happy of having discovered a site dedicated to people who truly share my gore-soaked dreams of world-domination!
Cheers!

Hi everyone!

My name is Dominik and I'm from Vienna, Austria, 18 years old, just finished my exams school so I'll have to do the millitar thing that is compulsory here.
For some reason people at my GW store call me DwarF but I've decided to use here a more druchii-like name ;)

When I started with Whammer I have got TK but since 2 or 3 years I'm a druchii. I win with them tough I'm more handy at loosing ;) Though I play a lot I've never played against HE- seems to show what opinion people have about them here ;)
In 40k I play a rather small army of Space Marines and building a force of the IG. I will stop that project for the new druchii of course!

My other interests are in reading fantasy stuff, LARP, going on medeavil markets (which are quite common in the German-speaking lands) and listening to good music (doesn't to be metal but mainly is).

Hello fellow Druchii.

I'm a gamer from Australia getting into WHFB after many years of historical wargaming. I picked the Druchii because of the fluff and the fact they are elves but without the associated wussiness of the other two elf races. I'm looking forward to getting the new army book so I can complete my conquering army of druchii.

My interests are in history and fantasy - playing, reading and writing (I am keen to write some druchii based stuff in the near future). I also dm for a NWN2 persistant world.

Game on!

Hi all!

My name's is JB, like the whisky ;)

I'm from France and I play Warhammer Battle since 2004 and I play Warhammer 40,000 since the 3rd edition.

I chose to play the Druchii because of the models and the fact they are sufficient to themselves. They are strong, show their force and at the same time they use their saddistic mind to backstab you whenever they can.

Thanks GW for this new army book, I never stopped playing my Druchii and now I will have my revenge versus some opponents.

Glory to Malekith and Khaine!

I've been playing Warhammer for about 10 years, mostly 40K, picked up my DEs again and hoping to win a battle by the end of the year ;)
Hopefully joining the RAF in a few months but I've been trying to get a part-time job in the Cardiff GW until then. Hobbies i enjoy are (obviously) Warhammer, Gaming, Rugby, NFL, Music and Flying. I recently was awarded wings to fly gliders solo and am working getting a lesser pilot's liscence.
Other than that theres not much to say!
