So as someone who apparently is more fluent in X-Wing Miniatures slang than the English language I have one question for you native speakers and knowledgeable people: How is the communities nickname for the trusty BTL-A4 Ion Y-Wing pronounced? And how did it evolve?
Just something that bothered me today when thinking about Y-Wings in the game.
Wart Hog, after the A10 "Warthog" military warplane. The plane is nicknamed after the African mammal alluded to by TurtleFreak.
... Although War Thog sounds like some kind of Ork unit...
Edited by rhs2042I had that suspicion. Das darf doch echt nicht warzenschwein.
Wart-hog. See TurtleFreak's post ^ for the origination of the name.
And five posts into the thread he wondered, why he didn't just use Google...
I guess I wanted to have first hand information or something.
No worries, I imagine warthog sounds pretty strange if you've never heard it before.

Didn't I just tell you to stop making up animals?!

Chupathingy, how 'bout that? I like it. Got a ring to it.
I am out of likes.
But my Puma class Y-wings will prevail.
Dammit, Griff, I thought I told you to stop making up animals!
Now I just hope the K-wing gets called the AC130.
I'm so happy this community appreciates those old RvB jokes.
I had a friend growing up, here in America, who would swear up and down that it was pronounced "Warth Og"...
He's now a teacher.
Now I just hope the K-wing gets called the AC130.
A craft originally designed to transport cargo that was refitted to carry huge cannons? Sounds like a better nickname for the HLC Outrider.
So... out of likes... above comment needs likes...
It's actually pronounced WAAAAAAAGH
Warzenschweine
because its ugly and people underestimate how dangerous it is just like the A10
Watch out for x-wingers in War Thongs.
Now I just hope the K-wing gets called the AC130.
Nah, the K-Wing is an Aardvark
You sure it's not a Walrus?

No, the F-111 Aardvark.

The secondary wings and a crew slot make me think of the OV10 Bronco, but the K is way too heavy otherwise.
