Warmachine Wörterbuch

Beitragvon Nighty_s » Di 4. Feb 2014, 09:34

Hallo Leute, eine von euch hören event. Podcasts (Chain-Attack, Road to War, Removed from Play und und und...) oder lesen auch Foren, jedoch ist es bestimmt dem einen oder anderen schon mal passiert das er nicht unbedingt alle Abkürzungen oder Begriffe kannte. Die Jungs von Chain-Attack habe auf Ihrer Seite nun eine Art Warmachine Wörterbuch gesammelt und es veröffentlicht.

Ich werde dieses auch noch um deutsche Begriffe erweitern, jedoch nicht um nur im lokalen genutzte Begriffe, sondern Begriffe die im Deutschen Raum genutzt werden.

Jedoch hier nun erst mal Liste von Trevor, Jay und Scott:

Warmachine/Hordes Colloquialisms
This list is a grouping of nicknames and jargon that are relatively common* in Warmachine/Hordes vernacular. This list does not include common acronyms used on the forums but only alternate names for models used commonly* in speech (but also sometimes in text). Note that some acronyms are used verbally

Grouped by category, but in no particular order (wrote them down as they came to me!).

*It should be noted that while I have tried to keep these common there are many here which are pretty obscure, I am having to make judgement calls. I have been playing the game many years and have not heard some of these terms.
