In the empire you burn witches but in russia we have no witches.

Translation please?

Well, i believe that in the warhammer world, russia would fall under the chaos wastes... therefor making russia full of witches, and mutants, and heretics

[Nightblade]

I believe Kislev is the closest thing to Russia. Either that, or my Russian-named Witch Hunter from Praag has to be renamed and everything. :confused:

I'm guessing the Chaos Wastes are more along the lines of Siberia.

No my pointy-eared friend, Russia is not full of Witches, Mutants and Heretics. (That would be Lithuania:D)

I have always been interested in the allusions presented in the Warhammer map in relation to the real world, and especially in Russia, as I am russian myself. Kislev (if you think about it in a general sense) is central european Russia: Leningrad, Volgograd, Moscow. Pragg would be more similar to the Komolsk Region. Tungask would be the mountainous plains between Volgograd and the Urals, and Finally the worlds edge mountains would be the Urals themselves. Also, Lithuania would be the ruins of Strigoi (full of gypsies, has absolutely no economy, and very few inhabitants :D) Anything south of Strigoi would probably fall into the empire, making it mostly germanic and other countries. Nightblade is correct in his thinking, that Siberia is the Chaos Wastes. Very few people live there, those that do are typically larger (and hairier:-?) than the typical citizens, hardly even potatoes (or even potato roots) will grow there, a constant layer of permafrost exists, glaciers slide around up there, There are almost no large settlements, and the further north you go, the stranger the weather conditions seem to become (Chaos gods influence for CW, and Nuclear winter for Siberia)They really are very similar.

Also, that website seems to just be a fan site, and the guy who started the post is talking about how he was very disappointed with the Baltimore Games Day and cant wait for more beta pictures and such. He also presents comparisons between this fellow pictured there and the witch hunter examples. Afterwards, they begin to compare the witch hunter to that of Lenin(:-|:-|:-|), and other random ramblings about their similarities and such.

Hope this helps a little.

Translation please?

I don't know russian good enough to translate it completely, but:

Topic: National WitchHunter of Russia.
And then you have little intruduction - from Baltimore Days they got picture of WitchHunter and OP ask people to put some picture of other ones. The main picture he calls: Prototype :)

In one of the first posts mayddib wrote it could be Lenin when he was young.. etc.. etc..

[Ichorbog]

Well, I umm, I have a degree in russian language so I guess I could translate part of it.
God, that guy is using some wacky russian internet slang with english words.

National Witch Hunter of the Soviet Union

Turning something, something (gloom? boom? doom?) from Baltimore into a different topic
We're representing our own associations (???) on this theme (witch hunter).
Prototype: [witch hunter pic]

first reply; that russian actor
second reply; Young Lenin
third reply; All ours (russians)
4th - Classic movies, witch classic
5th - Torture (obvious)
6th - Chaos


Not going to translate it all, but you basically have a bunch of guys comparing Warhammer to russian cinematography.

Thanks for the help guys, I dont have any degree or anything, but I'm learning from my grandmother and my dad and a course on Rosetta. Thanks with the translation on the first poster, I knew he said Baltimore but couldnt figure out whether or not he was disappointed with it or just saying he had gone to it. Also, he said prototype? Did he mean like a beta pic or was he talking about it being literally the prototype witchhunter?

[fob]

The mini picture appeared in the tread of Baltimore and than began the fun on witchhunter, so becose there were actually only one screenshot of witchhunter he asked to post assosiations to this pic.
The most closest to the screenshot of withhunter was russian actor Mihail Boyarskiy (http://forums.goha.ru/showthread.php?t=134740)
and there goes many pics from hes films and others...

Urgh i hate reading russian chat...

Not like it's a bad language,but when someone tries to use it as internetz' english or leetspeak it looks terrible.I hate when people take english words and just rewrite it with russian letters.

Nothing interesting to read there tho =/ pics arent even that funny.

He wrote prototype like about something first what can inspire another posters.

Oh, i get it. Basically as an eye grabber. Gotcha. But yeah, I might have to make a witch hunter named lenin now, lol.:smile:
