Off-Topic III: The Revengening!

[Wolfshade]

In the final ride of his career, and a day after his 43rd birthday, the hugely popular German rider Jens Voigt has smashed the Hour record, riding 51.115 kilometres at the Velodrome Suisse.

[The first man to do so since Chris Boardman's 56km ride on a subsequently banned bike]

I meant the count.

Enthusiasm for WFB rapidly fading.><

How comes?

Possible spoiler for Kinslayer:

Feeling really pessimistic about how they are going to go with female representation in End Times in light of the probability that Ulrika is killed off in Kinslayer. She was the protagonist of three novels and the most developed female character in WFB and it seems like she gets bumped off in someone else's novel. Which is incredibly thoughtless and offensive of GW/BL. It means now that whatever big exit Gotrek gets it will be an all male driven team that get them there, because women can't do that sort of thing apparently. I mean maybe she gets a totally badass death and it is all good but that will be a really, really welcome surprise.
Couple that with the niggling issues of how Neferata was portrayed in Nagash and my hope for a more female friendly setting and my enthusiasm for WFB in general is really dropping.

Then you have a similar situation in 40k where female representation has basically gone nowhere since the last DE book in 2010 and looks like it could be going backwards with Inquisitor Valeria and possibly Lady Malys getting dropped from their books because Gw can't be bothered making a model for them. If they **** up the DE book and WFB I might as well just back my hobby stuff up and stick to hobbies where there is at least some signs of improvement like video games and comics.

Perhaps you should consider telling yourself more loudly next time.
