Cerion

(Me in my old self-portrait)

I play both Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000. In Warhammer I have this middle-sized High Elf army with two, yes two, dragons. I love dragons! For WH40K I have a Space Marine army dubbed the Imperial Panthers. I'm going to try to work out a personal codex for them in time. I just don't have the time. Both Elves and Marines will feel a bit neglected when the new Gaunt's Ghosts models arrives. :) I've longed for them models quite a while now! I certainly hope they are well done, not so we have a new Plastic Catachan syndrome, if you get my point! I'm also working on an Inquisitor warband, that might get presented on my site. Now, I do not have the fundings for the big scale models, so what to do? Simple, you build your models from the Wh40K scale models instead. easier, and cheaper. Although, my Inquisitor is going to be more or less scratch-built, like another member of the warband. Oh, a note on my painting. I'm the kind of person who paints eyes on all my models, cause if they don't have eye, they're not considered finished! I have some pictures of some models, but as I have to scan then, I don't take many pictures of them. I'm not a boast, I hate to show off, and that's that. I do what I think is fun, not to be seen or recognized. 

My ED-iction started for more or less three years ago. I don't know what it was that hooked me so. Probably it was that dejá vu feeling in it all. You know, when you feel like "that has happened to me". I felt like that when I saw Ed, Edd n Eddy for the first time. I also have a light crush on cute Double D. Any girls out there might agree with me. Though he's finding rivalry in Rolf. Don't know why. The Eds are still one of my all-time favorite shows, and will remain so for a good while forth. 

(That´s not his real clothing....)

My love for Spawn comes form that it gripped me. It was complex, it was based on an old subject but still new. And the drawings are beautiful, indeed. It's hard to explain what touched me so, but it most probably was the fact that I was growing tired of Marvel Comic's soap-opera like stories and wanted something which was more violent and dark, and not just powerful men and women in tight sitting clothes in bright colours. Sadly, Swedish Spawn has stopped, due to bad economy (there are times when market-economy sucks!) so I'll have to find a way to get the comics anyway, though they can't go too expensive. I already have three other subscriptions: One for a comic magazine called Comic Parade, one for the Beetle Bailey comic paper (of Sweden) and for a Norweigan comic mag called Pondus. I love them all!

Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels are a kind of fantasy novels you don't see every day. Their serious but still not. Witty and fun without losing the seriousness they have. To date I've read Guards! Guards!, Masqerade (Funny Phantom of the Opera theme in it), Soul Music, Moving Pictures and some four or five other and I can't think of now. My favorite characters are Granny Weatherwax, Ridcully, Rinsewind the Wizzard and Death. He's quite fun, in a macabre sort of way. What makes me like Pratchett so much is with the witty sense he writes his novels. The Discworld is a mirror-world of our own, with a lower technology and dragons ;). The wise-cracks and other funnies blend well with overall plot of the novels. 

To the reason why I like Dan Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts novels can be put simply that they don't glorify war in any way. You're given war like it is; a bloody hell. There's screams, gunshots, everything that would scare any person from this millennia's wits out. The Tanith aren't superhuman Space Marines, but they are human, and have flaws and strengths because of it. Besides, they're a bit like Kellys' Heroes, which is one of my fave war-movies through time, after Saving Private Ryan. Another thing is that there's so much mystery in it. You'll never get to know what truly happened to Gaunt's father (he was killed by General Dercius, but why?) or why his mother died when he was born. There's so much else to be found out about the Colonel-commissar, and his brave men for that part. And the Sabbat Worlds are many, so their will be no real shortage of ideas I hope, for Mr. Abnett. 
My favorite characters in Gaunt's Ghosts (so far) are: Colonel-commissar Ibram Gaunt (of course, who wouldn't like him? He sauve, that simply), Colonel Colm Corbec (hard to say why, but he reminds me of how an uncle should be), Major Rawne (ruthless, dangerous, enough said), Brin Milo (the boy with the pipes. He's at the right place at the right time), 'Try Again' Bragg (gotta love that big oaf), 'Mad' Larkin (reminds me of myself after a third of the Haunted Hotel: the Ghost. No nerves at all) and, a bi-figure in fact, Commissar Viktor Hark (it must be charisma, have no idea why this short, stocky fella stuck to me?)

My love for RPG´s comes from that the first RPG I played was acctually Silver. I liked it a lot and wanted more. So I downloaded an emulator for SNES and started playing FF6 and other such games. Very much fun. I also have dying love for Zelda. Majora's Mask was good, but not as good as Zelda64. Skull Kid can't really match Ganon in evilness.

As I´ve mentioned I like to write and draw. You may have noticed that I specialize myself on the Eds, but I can do much other stuff. My writing is mostly fanfiction for the Eds, but also I love to write short stories for Warhammer and Warhammer 40K. The most recently I did for Warhammer 40K was acctually a cross-over with the Eds. It was called "Space Outlaws" and I did two series of short-stories. You can go and read them on The Ed, Edd N Eddy Zone or here on my own Space Outlaw page. I'm also working on a new thing for this site exclusively. It's called the N-SGI and well, I wanted to create my own sci-fi universe and settled down for a theme not commonly used, especially not by Americans; a future world where communism has proved the most successful way to rule an inter-stellar Imperium (or whatever you want to call it). Scary? Maybe, but it's just fiction, after all. ;) 

Speaking of communism, I've recently read a book called Hostile Waters, and, well, now I've realized why Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts books feel so real. The higher echelons of command of the former Soviet union are very much alike the same of the Sabbat Crusade in the GG books. The thing that disturbs me the most is not that Hostile Waters is non-fiction, or that there is an old Yankee-submarine lying on the bottom of the ocean outside Bermuda. No, it's the fact that there has existed an admiral named Makarov. Too close to the Warmaster Macaroth of Gaunt's Ghosts series. Brrr....

Other stuff that has influence on me is Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Inspector Gadget (the movie was NOT good), Garfield the Cat, Beetle Bailey, Calvin and Hobbes, Zits, the Swamp, the Swat Kats and much more. I love them all! But I don´t really wanna write about it here and now.

Hope you all know me better now. And don´t be shy, I love to mail people. You can be nice and drop Me An E-mail
