when I was in 5th grade I had a teacher that hated warhammer after i showed him some of my stuff. He claimed it was EVIL and that children should not play with demonic toys!

Worst teacher ever!!!!!!!

Depends what you showed him. If you showed him a daemon, then he may have a point...

I had a teacher who confiscated my copy of Dune by Frank Herbert because he thought it was a horror book by James Herbert

Protip, dont show people daemons when explaining 40k. Guard, Orks, Space Marines and Eldar are good to start.

I don't have demons i only do Blood Angels and space marines. I showed him my SM captain(the one from black reach) and i told him no background except that they were the defenders of the imperium and that they own everything.

I was made fun of my space marines for years at my schools because the idiot teenagers thought a purity seal was something found only on males.
Then later on they found out that space marines are sterile. That shut them up for good. They are idiots in this manner.

Anyway I showed my teacher this in 4th grade believing the space marines nothing but zealots and the many other groups slaughterers of life and got the school to ban all hobby materials in the entire school because people brought in magazines from white dwarf.

If I remember correctly, at some point here a poster - I don't remember whom - had their Codex Daemons found by their grandparents, and came home to a priest, a church circle, and an attempted exorcism.

Not going to lie, that's pretty funny.

He's the devil.

I think that was MGS, and I think it was the old Realm of Chaos books.

Apologies if not your good self Mr Stompa.



As to the OP, folks can get pretty anti anything on the wrong day, although I can think of a lot worse things to grab a torch and pitchfork over. Of course being a tabletop Roleplayer for a good while now, I have seen the odd, concerned glance from folks.

Boy, were they surprised when he blasted them all to ash. Silly mortals.

The Slaves to Darkness book.

It was a group from my gran's born again church. No priest or exorcism, just 'speaking in tongues' and trying to get the holy spirit to sway me into allowing them to burn my book.

My grandfather, wonder that he is, returned from the garage and told them to bugger off and they sheepishly left.

A blurred warhammer/dungeons and dragons scare was then the topic of her church's Sunday sermon. It was all highly annoying.

We had a teacher who played a Librarian in a deathwatch campaign once...evil sob that librarian....

He's turned apostate!

If anyone could photoshop Pee Wee's head onto Horus Lupercal's body and put it in this thread I would award them with no less than one billion internets.

My art teacher way back in 8th grade played 40k, he played SM.

I once had a teacher who collected warhammer, reading the old ork codex he had at the back of the class room was what got me into the hobby.

The attempted exorcism Sounds scary , and possibly illegal at the same time. Upon hearing the word Warhammer 40,000 from my older class , half the S1 group had formed large amounts of dislike for me and Warhammer after getting a brief and bad description of it from idiots that had only seen the miniatures.

Wait until your parents find your baggie of modelling flock...........

ask and ye shall recieve.

Bonus for the quote, Drk_O.

Pee-wee: There's a lotta things about me you don't know anything about, Dottie. Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you shouldn't understand.
Dottie: I don't understand.
Pee-wee: You don't wanna get mixed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel. So long, Dott.

I am a closet gamer because my class-mates once got told (by my RE teacher) that he had played Warhammer instead of going to his graduation and partying with his friends now they think that all Warhammer players are saddos and I have claimed that I have finished collecting ever since . I took him to on side after that lesson and told him what he had done, ruining my public gaming life

You couldnt make that stuff up

One day I may seek permission to use this as my Avatar pic...

Sure go ahead. Saves me the indecision with replacing my glowing cat.

So... much... win...

I'm saving all of these. I friggin' love you dakkanauts.

The Herman Heresy is my new favorite thing ever. I have been sitting here for about 5 minutes looking at these pics and laughing my ass off. My wife came in to see what all the ruckus was about. Brilliantly done, gentlemen.

Here's my Herman Heresy shot

Oh man, that's a good one.

He looks pretty sinister, actually.

Oooo you have capture his true evil beautifully and with perfect GW head/body proportion!

Get the Klaw in the shot and its perfect for a "I squash your head!" caption.
