Hurrah! The first suggestion I've put forward to get a ~positve~ initial response: I'm all
aglow....
    Flipping through Epic40K's "Armies Book" (looking for vehicle types; I only own three of the
new
Epic40K vehicles. Had to special order
them) I came across an interesting Header:
'Ulthwe the Damned' (pp 59-60 of the Epic40K Armies Book)
    Lemme quote the passage that jumped out at me:
"Of all the CraftWorlds, Ulthwe is the most closely associated with Chaos."
    There is quite a bit of 'Fluff' here dealing w/ associating too closely w/ one's enemy, etc...

    Here's my thought: What say we push that Bad Boy right into the Eye of Terror (which,
apparently,
Ulthwe is ~already~ inside of!!). I
suspect GW is heading in that direction already, based on recent articles, battle reports, Epic40K,

etc. Let's Beat 'em to it!
    As I see it: Ulthwe has been Gnawed away from its core: the Farseer's. By staring too long
into
'the Dark', they've become Blinded.... Cool,
eh? :-)
    I leave open until I get some response on this whether or no there are Dark Eldar inside the
Eye of
Terror that Ulthwe has collaborated with,
or whether the Fallen Ulthwe is the Source of 'Dark Eldar' ( I prefer thw former, personally).
Either
way has +'s & -'s going for it. I say a vote
is called for......

    On the Dark Eldar vehicle list, I have some ~good ideas~ (IMNSHO) that I will test this weekend
&
post by (at ~Latest~ , Mon-Tues.)
Initial Names are as Follow (yes, they're derivative: the abilities will -not- be:

Nosferatu
Chalice of Slaanesh
Anthame
Pavane
Ancillae
Inconnu
Ghoul

   Yeah, this fits in with WHFB dark elves, who are Khain (ie Khorne)
   worshippers.. its nice, but I agree that it should be an optional
   extra
