At last I think I will make an introduction.

First my usual Internet Avatar name is Glorian Underhill.
I played a lot of Blood Bowl tournaments in the past years and was there also around under that name.
I'm from germany and running also a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Live Podcast in german.
Named Ohrhammer.

In Warhammer online I was on since day 1. A participant of the closed Beta I was running around in Ekrund and the dwarven Zones from the beginning. I fought side by side with Ironbreakers and Hammerers when they were a playable class. But as soon as my Ironbreaker reached lvl 24 i got really stunned how slow it takes him to do any soloing. So i tried the Engineer and was blasted.

But short after the relase I droped out of the game. My Windows 2000 Pc was hardly able to calculate the mass of players who were in a Keep after the release.
Later in 2011 I returned after watching the recruitment Video of the 226. Scharfschützenregiment.
An Engineer Formation guild was to great to drop it.
But after only 6 Month I have to drop out of war because of health reasons. Somehow playing war puts extreme stress on my mouse hand wrist and soon I had a right hand I couldn't move anymore. And that wasn't funny as I work as an BI Expert for a big german car manufacturer.

BUT, while on the Scharfschützenregiment I bought the dwarven Expansion for the roleplaying game from Fantasy Flight games. Just for background Infos. After my wrist was destroyed I got back into Pen and paper Roleplay and started my own group which soon changed into an dwarf only group. We record our Sessions and then I put them later on as audio episodes.

When I saw that RoR is back I tried to get on but had some technical issues. But as my fire for dwarfs and Warhammer is rekindled I gave it a second try. And now I'm back.

And of course I need to have a Riflemen Regiment around me. So the Bitterstone Thunderers were born.

And as for the name Lesti Ardisson. It is a pop culture reference.
My dwarven group was in an adventure to investigate a missed dwarf miner in Karak Azgaraz. The Adventure was named "A study in warpstone." Lesti Ardisson was the dwarfen Townwatch officer who was investigating but didn't get on with the case. So they took over the case and solved it. Including entering the hidden Skaven lair with a part of a magical Rune-Beardclamp which searched its counterpart which was still at the beard of the missing miner.

Now tell me on which known character Lesti Ardisson is based. :)
A virtual Bugmans for the first.
