Well?
What models have lead to awkward, if funny as feth, moments.

Try to keep it non-descripit. Not too much detail, thank you.


Personal Favourite:

The other day at our FLGS we were looking at some Aussalt Marines that my mate was interested in selling. They had only been painted black, and a single marine had a plasma pistol, who's grid was painted white.

Me: Wow, I like the powerfist on the sergeant. And you got these only for $20?
Mate: Yeah, but there is only 1 plasma pistol in the squad. But they manage.
*points white plasma guy out*
Other Mate: Oh yeah. I bet that guy just loves to shoot his gushing, warm white glue all over the enemy...
*awkward silence*
**

We loled.

The Giant at my local GW Slanneshi with a Gimp mask on and a massive eyeball in his belly made me go oooooooh mmmmmkay...

he even had a gag ball.......Apparently the staffer who made the giant for his store Beastmen army was told that unless on games night he couldnt use it..

Well, not really funny, so much as "what the hell were you thinking!?"

A youngling thought it would be a good idea to scratchbuild/kitbash an ork trukk or two, which we thought was pretty respectable. He showed up to our open gaming day with ww2 armored cars covered in (still sharp) hobby knife blades. One of the older club members walked up behind him, took them from him, and snapped off all the blades before handing them back to him in two seperate piles and leaving him with the comment that "intelligence must have skipped a generation in your family".

Man, that was mean. The guy shouldn't have broken the kids stuff. He could have just told him how stupid that was and make him put it away.

There was a regular at the Bristol GW (back when the shop was on Broad Weir) who had a space badgers marine army, all with black and white striped paintjob, complete with a chapter master riding a giant badger. The terminators all had lightning claws and "burrowed" instead of deep striked.

no. he should have thrown the entire model in the dumpster and banned the kid from the store.

I'm probablly gonna get purged from dakka.

I saw on ol 4chan a Slanneshi land raider with a penis for a lascannon and female junk for doors.

Needless to say I loled.

You mean like shoes, makeup, and tacky accessories?

A gentleman out our FLGS decided it would be a great idea to have his Night Goblin army have all white robes and have their standards as burning crosses... needless to say we encouraged him to rethink his army.

There was a fully assembled UltraMarine Chapter Assembeled along with 3 companys of grey knights.

then this one guy brings in a army of Cow Marines!

Another Guy Brought a company of Impaient Marines!

another guy brought slaneesh daemontees.

I brought in all my models and i looked at their armies with Awee then this veteran comes in with some of the funniest Space Marines ever to live the poof patrol! His marines had marshmallow power weapons. hmmm Rainbow POWER!

let see what the colors where Green, Blue, Gray, Red, White, Brown, Yellow, Pink, and Orange....... the entire store now calls that gathering Space Marines taste the Rainbow Crusade. Best Day ever!

Then my most funniest model is a marine holding out a pistol to his head a power weapon on the ground. On his face is a tear and next to his hand is a cell phone. Wow Break-up is always the hardest too take.

A friend of mine (to whom I mean no offense) had an army of Space Marines. Mind you, these were his first models, and he didn't exactly have a chosen paint scheme yet. In essence, he ran an army of yellow red blue white marines, or as we called them, the LEGO marines (they were so brightly colored)

Some guys at GW HQ had the bright idea to have space wolves ride giant wolves!?!

We told them that it was silly: I mean do Blood Ravens ride giant Ravens? Do Space Sharks ride giant sharks?

We lol'd.

They put them in the codex anyways...

XD. well irony at its finest.

anyone got a link for this Slaanesh defiler?

I once played a game of Warhammer Fantasy against a guy who had cunningly modeled his spider riders to resembled piles of random pieces of plain pewter. Strangely enough, he somehow believed (And I believe that it was a personal superstition of his...) that they would only be successful in battle if he constantly mumbled excuses whenever he pushed their crumbly bulk across the battlefield. I targeted them with all the shooting my Wood Elves could muster, which at the time was quite a damned bit, and slaughtered them, to save him further embarrassment.

Maybe an overdone classic but I have seen bloodletters modeled with pipecleaners. They took the pipecleaners and bent them each to be a seperate letter in the word "blood".

Um, no. If you built something stupid, I feel confident I wouldn't destroy it or ban you from the FLGS. However, if I built something deemed as "stupid" and you broke it or did anything to it, rest assured I'd punch you. Would you throw CoD terrain in the trash? I mean... Those spikes... Whew. TSA would wand you in no time if you took those NEAR an airport!

The kid had a good thought. Orks are orks and like sharp things to impale their enemies on as they drive. The fact that he even tried to model some trukks and go off the beaten path is admirable and doesn't need a tact-virgin douche to destroy them. A simple "I don't think it'd be good to play with those, sorry" would have been just fine.

And I'd take it because then I would get rich and get to ruin your life.

But please, ITG away.

...and I'm still glad I don't live in the US! I can punch people in the nose all day and only get fined for it / suffer the return punch.

But back on topic: Back when we were 11 a hockey-playing friend of mine thought it would be smart to give his SM sergeant a "heavy duty helmet"... by glueing a shoulderpad to his face.

The manager of the Chicago Bunker, Mr. Duck, has a small (500ish points) army of marines. He sculpted duck bills onto the front of each helmet and painted them in duck colours, with ducks on their shoulder pads too.

what a quack!!! JKJK I think you should get pics I love seeing stuff like that. Very origonal.

A friend at my local GW (Who's name I'm not mentioning to save an eternal lifetime of embarrassment) wasn't/isn't that good at waiting for things to dry.

This resulted in his entire chaos space marine and ork army to have their arms glued on at the ankles, or somewhere on the leg due to them slipping off. He even stuck Ghazgull's claw to the model's foot and I think he still hasn't repaired them.....

Agreed, lets stay OT shall we people?

Some of these are so funny! (And a little bit cool )

(BTW, I agree with Rico)

I've got a cow SM jpg on my home computer.
I'll have to post it to see if it's one of his!

I played an apocolypse game on monday. One of the other players in the game had a Digimon that looked like a dragon glued to his Land Raider. He also had a Naruto belt hanging off his pants belt. I get that some folks like anime, but geeze...

Years ago, two of the guys that started playing 40k in my area built SM and CSM armies. One spray painted his guys Olive Green and called them "the army men", the other spray painted his Tan.

I always thought it would be funny to paint up a Night Goblin army like evil Smurfs. I think someone may have actually done so a few years ago, but, can't remember for certain.
