Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2004-11-15 07:14pm

Just had a mental image of a surfer-dude Space Marine, saying 'Dude!' in a deep voice and holding a really frappin large surfboard, in full armor.

Tau. You know they have to take the sticks out of their arses somewhere.

Personally, though, I so can see Orks surfing. WAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!

Hmm...chain-boards...

I wonder how long it would be before some enterprising Mekboy would try bolting an engine and a propeller to the back of the board. Or a rocket, for that matter.

A rocket is far more likely, and it's probably already been done.

Da Boyz are, after all, obsessed with going perpetually faster.

Dark Eldar. The Hellions already own boards.

but the Mon-Keigh's "Surfing" is simply a pale blasphemus imitatation of our anchient ritual.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-11-16 03:07am

That's funny, But the attitude is Eldar. With the Dark Elcar, combine the surfing with torturing people to death and it is all good.

yes, I am familiar with their attitude, I started playing them early on, in fact my Warhammer FRP character is "Ghost" the human hating elf.

My guess would be the Catachan Jungle FIghters

Ultramine: "I love the smell of Promethium in the morning!"

Definitely the Orks, although it'd be interesting to see the marines do it.

Marines do surf. or at least they did in Rogue Trooper - You could get a "Power Board" - a flying surfboard, a la Judge Dredd comics. IIRC, it appeared in the random miscellaneous equipment list for Mrines (and everyone else, to be fair).

This isn't a 'gaming' thing as much as an 'other sci-fi discussion' thing. Really.

You need some big boards just to keep these guys afloat

If we require a big board, then by the Emperor, we shall make one!

This is... a disturbing thread.

However, I must say that the False Emperor would never allow his minions to surf, because fun is forbidden.

Now Chaos on the other hand offers the widest range of surfing opportunities, from regular oceans, to ammonia, lava, or seas of blood. On some of our worlds, you can even get all of these environments and more within the span of a few seconds.

Call your local Chaos Recruiter to learn more.
