Go click on over and give it a read. How can you resist with a small excerpt like this:
Vin Diesel’s name is floated in almost all of these threads, but that’s probably because he’s an on-the-record Dungeons & Dragons fanatic and therefore plausibly Into This Sort Of Thing. That said, please enjoy the following Diesel anecdote relayed by Dakka Dakka user “-Loki-” in 2011: “He asked the [Games Workshop store] in a mall to close so he could have an uninterrupted game, was refused, so [he] bought some Blood Angels assault marines and left.” The Blood Angels, per the Monsters & Creatures Wikia page, are a subsect of Space Marines who “suffer from the Black Rage and Red Thirst– a berserk fury and lust for blood caused both by the chapter primarch’s death and degradation in the gene seed,” which is a very Chronicles of Riddick–y sentence.
~So who’s your most likely and least likely Warhammer celebrity?
