I've been using "Jodrell" as my handle online for about 20 years. When I invented it I was a first-year physics undergrad, and Jodrell Bank is a fairly-famous radio telescope centre in the UK. Plus it sounded cool.

My avatar is a joke: if you know any programming you know that it tells the computer to just kill forever; which seemed appropriate for Necrons.

Did you also come up with the avatar a long time ago, when dabbling with BASIC? :)

I'm not a doctor, but I may have a certificate lying around somewhere. I do like me some experiments, but mostly in civil Engineering and development engineering.

+psypher+ was the userename in the good old days of being a co-founder of a local motorbike club (sports bikes). The name and tag stuck :) The Avatar is thanks to The Bissler as the logo for Battlescene Designs :)

"Dogtroopers" is the unofficial name of my Necromundian Imperial guard regiment I've been building up for about 20 years.

Being a Dogtrooper in the masses of the Necorundian IG means being a grunt, one of the many. A play on Dog soldier. This force is made up of original codex grey IG from the original box sets and the army I was obsessed with when I found this forum.

Interesting to see peoples professions here too ! Thanks for sharing.

Parintachin is an imp in a rather obscure comic called Poison Elves. I loved it; own every issue (o:

I'm Parintachin! The guy's whose name no one can pronounce!The little court jester skull guy that live in Luse's head!

Yorkie is my callsign on all the forums im on.

Its not just that im from Yorkshire, but my regiment, "the prince of wales's own regiment of Yorkshire" were known as the "Yorkies". Unfortunately the government, in their wisdom have amalgamated my unit twice in the last decade, so the Yorkies are no more.

I'm from Bedale, North Yorkshire. I haven't been home in a long time though, Cyprus for 4 years...Germany before that....

A lot of the lads in my unit are from ULL!

Neat thread idea indeed!

Well my name comes from my people, Caliban the homeworld of the Dark Angels Legion. Angel just implies guardian or protector of the Legion. I got the idea after running across rules for the Angel for 40k on the http://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/home.html website. I've used it for all miniature related boards I've joined. Ever since the late 90's when I got into wargaming I've rallied the banner of the First Legion.

The avatar is just a chapter symbol I liked I found on the web.

It seems a few people I used to know are still around. :o

My online name comes from my first email address I used in the very first Epic mailing list. Mojarn Piett was taken from the original Rogue Trader era Chapter Approved book. He was a fat penal legion lieutenant whose men lived in mortal terror of him. It was rumored he ate the wounded during a battle where his unit was cut off and no supplies got through. I chose him because his physical appearence is the exact opposite of my own.

As for the avatar, way back someone uploaded more avatars to the forum and this was the only tank. I like tanks.

Hi!

I always keep tabs on founding members of Net Epic Mojarn, so no worries. ;)

Glad to see you around! :)
