What would you be and why?

Post by **Langmann** » Fri Mar 31, 2006 11:31 pm

A dragon. Lives long, got lots of cash, carries his own oven for quick cooking, no qualms about eating stuff that's been on the ground longer than two seconds, can fly, dwarfs fit nicely into mouth without having to cut them first, as powerful as a daemon but less psychological baggage, and of course if warhammer was to real scale weapons wouldn't be the size of the 28mm models that carry them and thus any man sized attacks would feel like being poked with a needle.

(The real reason all GW models have rediculously oversized out-of-scale weapons is so they can kill dragons in case anyone was wondering.)

Only problem is arms too short for scratching back.

Thats what wing spines and a tail are for.

If I got to choose what I wanted to be in the Warhammer world I would go with a Beastmaster. Training all those hydras and manticores would be very cool.

If I had to choose something that I am close too in the Warhammer world, it would have to be a beastmaster that works on the Sea Dragons. I am a Marine Biologist and a Navy officer after all...

Being completely honest, I'd probably be a Gladeguard, always liked the outdoors and I hate 'outsiders'. I dont have the build to charge into close combat with a mace, and I dont think I have a rich enough household to be born into HE/DE society. Having no special gift, magic would be out, although perhaps with my win/loss record they'd consider putting me in charge

A Slann. All you do is sit on a palanquin and you have 10000000 billion Lizards under your control.

Duellist of the Empire because being just a mere human in the middle of the battle is something awesome, so dangerous. If you survive you will be an idol to your men and if you die you will as a hero. That’s how I think it…

Ehm... Spire, you do realize that chaos dwarf sorcerers turn to rock, eh?

My favourite position would be thus:
Alter Kindred Lord.
No responsibilities, bloody marvellous physique, increased lifespan.
And the little ability to change into whatever you want.

Mennorach · Post by **Mennorach** » Sat Apr 01, 2006 12:38 pm

I would be a Dragon.
Allways loved dragons...
or something else that might shout: "Learn your place you little creatures!"
Everytime someone tries to steal your loot/money/treasures...

EDIT:
And every reason langmann stated...
"carries his own oven for quick cooking"

i Would be a manticore
They are vicious, fierce, they can fly and they are strong and tough. the dragon would be better to most people because they are stronger and can breathe fire, however you always have to deal with bretonian questing knights, empire crazy boys,dwarves that have a grudge on you, high elves that want to tame and ride you , dark elves that want to whip you and anyone else wants to kill you because you are a nuisance.

Manticores on he other hand mind their own business and most people ignore them, except De.

So their you have it , life as a manticore is better.

So what? I'd have great fun while alive and become a statue upon my death ensuring that I'd be remebered for centuries. Not really much of a downside, as far as I can see, and even if I'd turn to stone before my natural death, dwarfs live considerebly longer than humans so I'd stll be around for quite a while.

Tezrek · Post by **Tezrek** » Sat Apr 01, 2006 1:46 pm

I truly don't know. My mood can change heavily depending of just how much time i've slept. So I'll will be either a Black Guard (How much can you just healthily hate people anyway?) or some Paladin (I love how pure they are. That just such a strong feeling to me...)

I likely want to be a wizard, it just give you such and edge over those "little people" :twisted:

Slerac fellblade · Post by **Slerac fellblade** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 12:19 am

I wonder what happens if I'm a dragon and I eat you. Since dragons eat dwarfs with one bite and then you turn to stone - is that good or bad for a dragon? If dragons have a gullet then I guess it's perfect though not very nutritional, but if dragons are anything like humans that could be one nasty ileus...

D-boy · Post by **D-boy** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 12:32 am

i'd be a necromancer can never die get new bodies often from strange people and unlimited amount of troops just read the book necromancer and that makes them verry appealing.

Eldacar · Post by **Eldacar** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 1:38 am

I'd be either a Swordmaster, an Archmage, or the High Prince of one of Ulthuan's provinces, preferably Avelorn. Combining one or both of the former with the latter wouldn't be too bad either. Being a dragon is another interesting option, though. Of course, an Archmage would potentially have the magical spell at his disposal to transform into a Dragon anyway, I would guess.

Squig. All of the benefits of life, with none of the drawbacks of sentience.

Muse of harganeth · Post by **Muse of harganeth** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 4:35 am

If i were anyone I would be the musiscan, yes the druchii musician. Marching into battle and sounding my flute, eagering on the army!
You also get lots of enemy's to kill, as you would seem to be targeted.
You might not live long, but you get one heck of a life!
Plus you would get hot Druchii to sleep with in the after battle!

Sbod · Post by **Sbod** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 5:45 am

I would ba a blood dragon vampire,
you're immortal and you spend all eternity dueling petty Brets....
Plus i'd be wicked with a sword.
Did I mention immortality.....

Malevion · Post by **Malevion** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 6:23 am

An Ogre maneater

big, tough, greedy and cunning. I'd get to see the world, meet interesting people and eat them.

Zeth vorador · Post by **Zeth vorador** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 6:25 am

Dark Elf Assassin all the way yes on the board not that great unless used right but really why is he on the field? I'd be an actualy dark elf assassin the kind that sneaks into the enemy stronghold and kills the general and his officers in the night or something along this lines trained hardcore killer no remorse trained since birth

Cathel · Post by **Cathel** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 7:36 am

I would like to be one of the Wood Elf Beastmasters or a Wardancer.
Preferrably the former, I like animals and the woods. Setting a bear or fighting dog on Skaven or Brettonians seems a nice idea.

most dinosaurs couldn't chew (at least the earlier ones couldn't) so another big lizard like a dragon would not chew, and so would have to swallow stones to help digest food. so its food and medicine

on review i dont think id like to be a giant. dragon sounds better

Deathwing · Post by **Deathwing** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 4:22 pm

an Asrai Waywatcher - I love woods and I don´t mind being alone for a few hours or longer.
or maybe an Asrai Wardancer....

Noble korhedron · Post by **Noble korhedron** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 4:26 pm

Empire Captain. I'm not expereinced enough to be an Elector quite yet, but I have commanded 2,000pts armies on more than one occasion. And because I'd have a Greatswords bodyguard. Best damn heavy infantry in the game, YEAH!

Slerac fellblade · Post by **Slerac fellblade** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 4:47 pm

The a dark elf assasin thing seems fun and they probly have great retirement benefits.

Ogre there we go thats a good race to be if not orc or dwarf probly ogre butcher because I have eaten bad food before. I beat Salmonila twice. The food ain't bad till it is too fuzzy to eat...lol :lol:
