To celebrate the 25th anniversary, BBC news showed some pictures of Dark Eldars and Neocrons [sic].

Nice find. Not a particularly well written article but publicity is always good... right?

Shame they used such badly painted figures..

But I do like the writers description in brackets of the various races mentioned...

[jackhoneysett]

I liked those race descriptions too - they're quite well observed.

Amazing they didn't try to find some better painted figures for their images. They have at least corrected their spelling mistakes now (probably after a deluge of angry geek mail).

Rick Priestly popped up in the 'Your Comments' section at the bottom, saying something along the lines of "Hi, I invented the game, you could have asked me for an interview!".

Someone on my BloodBowl forum picked up this link from the comments

apparently tabletop wargaming "has been and is played most soberly by distinguished people.... it is said Napoleon was an enthusiast"

I guess we're all the crowd being hinted at as "distinguished people"......

Hah, "played soberly"!

Anyone else suprised Peter Cushing was not pushing around vampire counts.....

That whole article felt like they gave it to the work experience kid, then couldn't be arsed editing it when he was done.
