Whats new?
« on: September 21, 2005, 08:50:04 AM »
Hello there.
First let me say that it is good to see warzone finally getting a forum again. I have been waiting for this.
Second let me ask you all what has happened with warzone since last time I played it. In 1999 or something  :)

I play Imperial but are also looking into starting a Lutheran army since I am both a Luthran myself and a fan of the Question comic.

Welcome Trencher. Excelsior has been developing the products since 2003. You would have been playing second edition I believe.

As for your "Lutherans", they have the cavalry about to some out but we changed their name in Ultimate Edition Warzone as we could not make it work in the continuity. Their new name is the Inheritors of Job, which suits them better I feel.

I am not sure if I like the name change but if you make some Luthrans with hair like in the books then you could call them "the sons of the flying spagetti monster" for all I care. I did not like the bald look for them made them look like egg-people.
I also have seen pictures of a new Razide model, is it for sale?

I've found "Lutherans" is still a pretty effective way of reffering to them without having to say the mouthful that is "Inheriters of Job"

The figures are awesome, the baldness is cool. So are the masks.

LoL he thogth they had masks!  ;)
You cant breathe on dark eden therefore the Luthrans of the future cut of the nose and sew it and the mouth shut on their young. Then over time they sand it down so no stiches or even scar shows.
And they are the only army that uses sawed off shot guns on a regular basis they just don't get any kewler!

Bah they don't need to breathe their love for God is all they need!

Only kidding they have a breathing machine connected to a hole on the back of the neck tucked out of the way.

The Inheritors call them "Jay-bos". Or "Hovahs".

Actually, they don't really call them anything. They have no mouths.

:) It's good to be back.

I think the 'Inheritors of Job' is a great name for them. We don't want them getting mixed up with actual Lutherans anyways. Could you imagine giving a demo to some Lutherans at a con and then giving them the spiel about the factions in the game only to have them look at a bunch of fanatical UKers that sewed their mouths shut?!

I'm sure it didn't have anything to do with the name change it's just that...It's hard enough convincing some parents that TTGs aren't 20th century satan worship (believe me, I work at a game shop I get it more often than not).

So having Luthrans in a game make people think that the game is satanic?
Are your customers Catholics or something  :D Just kidding.
We all know that they are more inspired by puritans anyway.
I am convinsed that Luthrans with hair will be cool though.

I think Steel Rabbit wasn't referring to just Lutherans but the hobby in general. The name change came about as we were trying to create a cogent continuity for Mutant Chronicles. While I personally like the name Lutherans there was really nothing in their background that defined why they would be called that. Based on their iconography, religious predilections and world view towards suffering, Inheritors of Job seemed to suit them much better. Read the Book of Job sometime and you can see why this name fits them like a glove. Hair is no problem though...
