Top 10 signs you own too much Warhammer:

#10. Selling your spare stuff might be enough for a down payment for a home.

#9. You don’t need to buy the latest army that they released a codex for because you already own it.

#8. You end up buying a rune priest because you can’t find the one you thought you have, and then you find it and now have one too many.

#7. You are trying to get down to only 5 armies

#6. When you already own a finished Thousand Sons army, and a Word Bearer's army and you have a complete unbuilt pre-heresy Thousand Sons army, Noise marine army, and Night Lords armies, and that is just for chaos.

#5. You have 3 fantasy armies and you don’t play fantasy.

#4. You go looking for your demonhunters army and you can’t find half of it.

#3. While thinking about building a demonhunters army you wonder how much IG you have and find out that you have 2 platoons of mech guard including heavy weapons squads, and you never tried to build or wanted an IG army.

#2. When you go looking for your missing Yriel figure you find your missing demonhunters army.

#1. It takes you 3 hours to find your Yriel figure.

tee-hee and such.....

Ahhhhh reading this thread is like peeling off scabs >.<
to make things worse , it takes years to find the missing figure because they are long buried under drawer and drawers of bits.
It wasnt found till i flattened the bits all over the floor and see it hidden under other pieces...

Good thing is i rebag them into neat little packages after cleaning up :3

And on the side note , when i was bagging the bits , i had a feeling thats what drug dealers do....

Yeah, got all the ork bitz in baggies now. Heads, arms, weapons, vehicle bitz etc.

Was lining the bags up on the table and went to make tea, on coming back I did note it looked like I was going into business.

Lol, very good, sounds like you have a lot of stuff. thankfully all my old stuff (mainly fantasy) is round a mates house in various boxes mixed with his stuff.

Now i feel like ive got a clean start after many years break and am now starting on my second army.

I refuse to make the mistake i've made so many times which is to impulse buy or buy a whole army in one go and never get it painted. Now i by a couple of units a month and paint it.

I bet you were grinning at that time... till you snapped yourself out of it

When you get to the point where you think to yourself "What if I start Dark Eldar?"
When you own multiple Titans
When your opponent wets themself when they see the amount of mech you've just deployed.

I never lose figures in piles of other figures and/or bits.

I DO however lose iPods and Garmins in piles of figures and/or bits.

Funny But True: You cant use your spare bedroom because thats the hobby room and the bed is a foot deep in unbult models

I'd say when you consider starting another army that is in no significant way different to your other armies.

'You know, I love my Mantis Warrior marines but I'm fairly certain an Executioner army would look spiffin!'

'I was just finishing the final touches to my Alaitoc eldar of blue and yellow when it struck me, I must have some of those yellow and blue Iyaden eldar next!'





Or, y'know, anyone with a mech army starting another mech army...

Before you field a whole new Ghost army , perhaps start with painting the wraith guard / lords that color first.
See if you get tired of them by the time you finish xD

When you move 1/2 way around the world and 1/2 of your possessions are Warhammer or Warhammer related.

When you deploy all three compainies and your oppenent surrenders.
You have entire plasma Cannon army list
You have enough bits to make bill gates seem poor.
You take three months to figure out Warmachine is not Warhammer.
You break a model and you don't care you just get a new one.
You can buy a new model.
You have 300 marines and you think you need more.
You sell all your Yu-Gay-oh for space marines.
You dump your friends for your hobby buddies.
You go to DakkaDakka.

When your room 80% of your room is cluttered with 40k.

I FOUND WALDO!
AND FAILDDON!
Wait thats Yarriack.

When you think your school librairain is a pysker.

No! Bad gamer! *swats with rolled-up newspaper*

When you've got stuff arriving in the mail that you forgot that you ordered...and it's stuff for the army you wanted last week but now you're seven different lists down the road on Army Builder. So you figure "what the heck?" and immediately begin list eight to reincorporate the stuff that just arrived in the mail.

Getting loopy yet? I know that I am. Prepping for Apoc just wears a man down.

I did that in reverse. I got some Inquisitorial stuff to go with my Guard army, and when all was said and done I had a full Daemonhunter/Witch Hunter army.

I got the IG in an e-bay auction. I forgot what it was that I got with them (maybe a book or something), and it had a lot of other IG crap that I did not want that I just threw in a drawer. So I had it laying around for a couple of years, and when I looked at it, and laid it out, it was a lot of models.

If I throw in my Leman Russes from my old LatD army, and my chimeras from my witch hunters army I think I might be able to field an IG army by accident. Maybe not a good army, but a full IG army.



Here is my desk with all kinds of crap for it. I am re-basing the IG for the 'Ard Boyz.

Sign #11 , been told how my armies are "inferior 2nd handed items"
Yes this explains why all my "inferior 2nd handed products" have absolute no flaws , even when its considered normal to have mis cast , bubbles

Sign #12 , receive messages accusing me of "never had the intention to sell , but only to *display* " when i wont agree to his ridiculous offers.

I think #4and #2 are great makes me think they are off fighting other armies. Hell they dont need the other half of the army. They are so awesome they purposely go on little crusades in your house it sounds like.

Sign #13

You now sleep on the floor because of all the paints and models occupying your bed in various stages of completion.

My Orks and Tau are waging a furious battle for control of my pillow. The Lootas have taken a ridge made from a crunched up part of the comforter, and the Tau Kroot are slowly making their way off the bed, probably to get underneath the bed and suprise attack from the other side.

Snikrot and his Kommandos have not been seen yet...

sign #14

When you your wife makes you sleep on the couch, because you bought some more minis instead of a gift for her...

During one move I took a picture and the pile was higher than I am.

That was 3 moves ago.

Now it has its own wall, a closet, and half an ajoining wall.

Blackmoor you should be on Letterman!

Sign #15 You live in a house built entirely from Imperial scenery.

o crap mothers day

That list would be less funny if it weren't true! Hahaha
