...they just get reabsorbed...

Greetings all!

Yeah, I'm back! So, with a bit of sadness and a whole lot of excitement for the future, the first official act of my return is to step down as Tyranid Army Champion.

The Tyranid army has been foundering for quite some time... for some reason, over the years, it just seems to eat Champions, evolve, regress, surge, die, but never finish., heck, even Tau managed to get a completed core list! I'm really proud of the work I've done with the list and want to really apologize for dropping the ball there for the recent past. As I fell away (more on that later, it's good stuff, but Real Life stuff), others stepped up and kept the breeding pits bubbling, and it is to these dedicated individuals I pass on my absorbed biomass and knowledge.

Effective immediately, Dave (Susco) is the new Tyranid Army Champion and Zombocom is his backup/assistant Champion. They've done a lot of strong work on the project and I'm glad both were willing to step up and take responsibility for getting it done.

Congradulations gentlemen, the NetEA Project looks forward to your efforts!

Sorry to hear you're stepping down Chroma.

Congrats to the new hive overlords. I'm sure you'll do just fine. After all, it's not like the hive mind will let me dissent.

On the bright side I can bug you more about Eldar stuff! :P

Congrats to Dave and Zombocom!

However I wonder how the coming days for Nids will look....

Sad to see you go, glad to see Dave get to boss people around (;)) and the Nids get some attention.

So will Dave be Blue or Green? Since he is a MOD and a Army Champion now? Is one cooler than the other or more "Powerful"?

Good to see you around again Chroma; will you be picking up the reigns as Eldar Champion again?

Congrats to Dave. Here's hoping he can actually finish the list this time and doesn't succomb to the curse of the Tyranids.

Both happy and sad to hear you're passing on the baton Chroma - I've played 9.2.1 quite a few times and think it plays great, but is a bit more complicated than ideal. Clearly there's a multiplicity of opinion on the way to go and we could do with moving on. Good lick Dave and Zombo!

Will you still be maintaining your position as grand-Avatar of the Eldar Craftworlds Chroma? I hope so, as that would be a less demanding role with them in a more settled state.

Thanks guys, and thanks Chroma for your past and hopefully future inputs.

Edit: Blue and green apparently make blue AoC.

Yeah, I want to commit more time to broader NetERC duties and polishing the Eldar (Hey now!), as well, I really want to kick EPIC: Total War in the pants and get that together.

Thanks for all the kind words and I'm really looking forward to seeing what Dave and Zombo put together... and then ripping it to shreds! *laugh*
