HellspawN, a belgian french teacher playing with minis

Yes, I am belgian... from Belgium, in Europe... somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
I teach french to kids from 12 to 16 years old. The job can be fun but it's often the end of all the hopes you would like to give to the new generations!
Mordheim, in these days, seems to be a good way to change my mind.

I write short stories in french, I write new Mordheim rules in french (see my signature), I play videogames and I eat to much... I'm a Belgian Mordheimer, I mean!

I'm the father of a young girl (3 years old) and happy in my new "homemade" house with her and my wife.
Nothing else to say, I think.

If you've got questions, let's ask!

Nice to be here, see ya!

Welcome to the forum and thanks for the thorough intro! I hope you enjoy your stay. Now I'm off because I have the thread with your scenery already open and I need to look at them.. *wooosh*

EDIT: That Spawn Cryer is excellently layouted. Too bad my french is so bad..

Hi Hellspawn!

Thanks for joining! It's great to have you here! Compliments on your scenery (I just had a look at it over at Gallery section)! You eat too much you say? I don't blame you, after all you come from the country that has the best "traiteurs" and arguably the best beers in Europe

Have fun on the forum! And if you feel like sharing some of your short stories, feel free to do so in the shout it out section.

Cheers,
AT

WELCOME ABOARD!

I hope you enjoy your stay, get inspired, AND inspire the rest of us Forumites with your fine works. Thus far I've restrained myself from dashing off to see your scenery, but ..........there I exerted my iron will to finish the welcome .

Years ago I had the pleasure of working with a Belgian Lady. I have NEVER met another person who had her love of life; ergo ALL Belgians are fine folk in my book.

Welcome Welcome!!

I just had a look at your pictures (Scenery and Miniatures) and all I can say is WOW! You're a fine addition to this forum, mate! Thanks for joining & sharing!

And, as a "cerise sur le gateau", you are Hellspawn so you come FROM HELL and I quite appreciate this fact.

welcome how cool is that, a Mordheim player as French Teacher... *sigh*

Welcome to the forum!

Your Spawn Cryer really does look great! Like the French Letters of the Damned. Someone should translate it into English for all of us who are not that fluent in French (even though I did study it for 4 years...)

haha!

"Tom! Are you listening? What's that you're drawing on the table?"
- "Erm... Nothing" *gulp*
*teacher walks over to student's desk*
- "Oh! A Skaven! That's nice Thomas! Well done."

Yes. I agree. My grammar exercises talk about vampires and ratmen... but... There's nothing illegal! And no father, no mother, nobody told me I was wrong!
I'm subversive but in a good way!
All the grammar books use sentences like "Tom eats an apple; an apple is eaten by Tom". What's this? A fruit ad?
"Captain Tom kills a mutant; a mutant is killed by Captain Tom" fits too!
I am me. And I am the man I show to my audience. Why should I lie? Why should I talk all year long about some apple eaters and other little cats drinking (oh, yes, you smell it coming!) ... MILK!
Mordheim rules. If there's a Warhammer-40K-Mordheim-Necromunda-Helldorado-(or something like that)-player in my classroom, I find him sympathic and I only think one thing about him/her: THIS GUY IS ABLE TO READ MORE THAN 200 PAGES WITHOUT FALLING ASLEEP! And, today, it's a good score! Read, littles boys and girls. read and you'll be able to write someday!

hi hellspawn, wellcome to the forum, im nwer too, im sure that your boys dont be boring in your clases.

Hahaha! So true! That is awesome! Great Work Hellspawn. I wish I was in your class.
See ya around,

dude I wish our french teacher was like that *kneels and facing heaven at the end of his bed*

Hello Hellspawn and welcome here, you know me more exactly under the pseudo " The sons(threads) of grugni ".

I come to see regularly here the painting work of our English friends. For the rest not being very strong in English, I am a little limited for the rest ^^

Et sinon merci pour ton boulot.
