1. You injure yourself and roll a dice to see if you make a save
2. When going out you check to see what wargear your allowed to carry
3. You start hanging around in groups of ten friends and refuse to move further than 2" away from them
4. Your idea of "popping down for a pint of milk" involves deepstriking through the ceiling of your local shop
5. You give thought to arriving to work in a giant Monolith or a Land Raider and "pawning" your collegues
6. You really want a sticker that says "My other car is a Battle Barge" in your rear window
7. You use the word smite more often than necessary
8. You try to convince people to do what you want, saying "It's for the greater good"
9. You think Slanessh is misunderstood
10. You ask your boss to get you a "Golden Throne"

when your immediate reaction when picking up small objects is to shake them in your hand then roll them on the table

It was the weapon of a Daemon Prince. Not as clumsy or random as a Bloodfeeder; an elegant weapon for a more detailed age. For nearly a two editions, the Daemon Princes were the guardians of variety and flavour in the Chaos Codex. Before the dark times... before the Jervis. H.B.M.C.

1. You shake your head at the current cost of promethium at BP.
2. You look at pedestrians in your way while going to work and think "tank shock".
3. This seems like a justifiable purchase:

"GW seem desperate to keep their new products a secret in case people might actually want to buy them. They can be assured that thanks to their new pricing strategy, there really is no danger of this happening." - Flashman

You look at riot police and think, "carapace armour."

It's better to simply be an idiot, as no one can call you on it here. -H.B.M.C.

Cap'n Gordino's instant grammar guide:
"This is TOO expensive." "I'm going TO the store, TO get some stuff."
"That is THEIR stuff." "THEY'RE crappy converters."
"I put it over THERE." "I'll go to the store THEN."
"He knows better THAN that." "This is NEW." "Most players KNEW that."

You refer to classic american gas-guzzlers as "Pre-Heresy"

You spend idle moments on the can thinking about whether or not a chainsword would actually work, which always ends with 'Who cares, it's a chainsword!'

"gluttons for punishment" units with the gluttons for punishment special rule will never retreat however, they will take additional beatings after combat represented by taking wounds equal to the number they lost the combat by.

you start to think the Eldar might have been on to something near the end there.

you have to consciously refrain from referring to your father as 'Papa Nurgle'.

you feel the need to consider your own statline, then mathhammer yourself against various 40k opponents.

you secretly hope and pray your country becomes/rejoins an Empire, solely for the purpose of bringing phrases such as "In the Emperor's Name!" into vogue.

you spend all your working day on dakka reading topics like this

My profile has battle reports & armies... -- White Scars -- Suicide Legion -- Militia -- Squats -- Arbites -- Tau -- Daemons -- CSM
Current project: Arbites P&M Blog -- DR:80S++G+M++B+I+Pw40k92/f+D++++A++++/mWD158R+T(M)DM+ -- Slaanesh Daemons Tactica

1. A KNIGHT IS NOT A TITAN - They are two different things. A 'Knight Titan' does not exist.
2. YOU COULDN'T CARE LESS - If you could care less, then you really do care about the subject.
3. PLUS ONE IS NOT ONE PLUS - 1+ means 'one or more' (like a save), +1 means 'add one to it' (like a modifier). Get them the right way around.
