Thank you Brock for mini-modding that, was going to do that myself. I will reemphasise the point though. No more quote pyramids or airsoft talk.
When you have to put on your mini-mod hat.
When SOB think heretics are gonna burn, but think that it means that the heretics themselves will be burning. This is quite untrue. The heretics will burn, but they'll burn the Galaxy!
When Chaos fanatics think they have the slightest chance against the Emperor's fury.
When you realize you grabbed Mister Fluffy in your haste to respond to Chaos incursion of the castle, instead of a flamer which does NOT shoot cotton candy.
When you only realize that when faced with a Slaanesh-worshipper. Alone.

To the others yes.
But who wouldn't want power?
Other than SoB, who know that all power corrupts and that all others in this forum are currently under the power of Tzeench
When you realize you haven't gotten anything for your preferred army in months.
When you realize the above is because there's nothing you could really use that you don't already have, since you don't play Apocalypse and don't like mechanized lists.
No more quote ladder/ pyramids please. We don't want a locked thread.
Indeed.
several warnings have been handed out, once again. If this behaviour persists then we'll either lock and/or delete the thread as well as look at longer suspensions of posting privileges for certain members.

Ack, just remembered. I got a Battle Sisters blister for Christmas. My last one before that was an Exorci - No, wait, went back and checked my e-mails, I ordered a pair of Sisters with meltaguns at the end of September. A few days before that, I ordered some stuff from Reaper Minis to use as proxies for Jacobus and Crusaders - so I could have an all-female army in friendly games. (I mounted them on 25mm round GW bases, of course) Before that, it was a significant chunk of minis at the end of August, including the proper Jacobus mini, 6 proper Death-Cult Assassins (one of which was miscast and I never bothered getting a replacement for) 2 proper Crusaders (to add to the 2 I already had from my Inquisitorial Retinue), and the afore-mentioned Exorcist.
Though, I may end up getting more Sisters with Meltaguns if I go back to playing larger games - right now I'm playing 750pt games because my opponent and I can finish them in less than a week of real-time.
When you start to offer a Chaos Marine a hug, then realize he's a long-time worshipper of Nurgle.
You feel bad because his feelings will be hurt, but at the same time, you don't want to have to incinerate your armor, then incinerate the incinerator with a melta torpedo.

I'm continuing with my mech army from the WH codex, luckily I didn't go with Immolator spam so no Inquisition for me. Building the actual Exorcist model though...
It looks good, but the kit...

MrMerlin wrote:....when you read your own fluff and find it awful..... well, im gonna have to rewrite it again.....
I know that feeling.
I got it when I looked at the fluff for a character I was gonna use as a not-Saint Celestine, I was like, "Wow... This is like a total rip-off of the original. Gotta redo the whole thing."
When you realize your own custom fluff deviated more and more from its starting point as you had kept writing, until it was a complete perversion of the original idea.
As examples, the nannites went from medical technology that happened to break down Battle Sisters and other brainwashed people's mental conditioning, into a weapon actively being used to subvert Imperial armies through the use of special grenades. The Sisters of the Flame went from a faction that knew they could no longer return to their previous stations in the Imperium, but still remained faithful in the Emperor and harboring no ill will toward the Imperium, to a faction that came to hate the Ecclesiarchy and actively trying to destroy it. The Hellfire Fox's forces in general went from carefully avoiding contact with the Imperium's forces on their planet, but aiding them secretly where they could, to launching an all-out war for control of the planet. The planet itself went from a neutral place which Chaos had invaded, and the Imperium had come to fight the armies of Chaos for one reason or another., to an Imperial homeworld with a prominent Chaos infestation and the occasional Ork attack.

I used copious amounts of greenstuff on the joins as something to help the glue keep the model together, personally. Like I did with my two Penitent Engines, only for the most part the greenstuff is hidden under the plating on the Exorcist - the greenstuff on the dreadnoughts is very noticeable, even on the one that's been primed white.
The Exorcist... Well, if I dropped it, the metal pieces would probably shatter off from the chassis. And it is quite heavy, so generally when I move it from my display case to the gaming table down the hall, it's the only thing I have in my hands, and I walk nice and slow and calm. I am very cautious with it.
That sinking feeling when you find that your PWECIOUS sternguard squad is being eye'd by a little kid. I want those three new recruits to see the fires of battle! cuz i spent a long time converting each of them...

The sinking feeling when Draigo and his bros have been fighting Daemons al day and get their asses handed to them on a silver platter by Calgar. This was my newest squad, with Warding Stave Apothecary, Banner, Hamer and Psycannon model, Hammer and Stormbolter and a Halberd and Stormbolter.
Funny enouigh the other squad, my first squad, took only one casualty from a Combi Melta ID, and no other model was wounded.
when you realize that the GW Kor'sarro Khan model will be extremely difficult to convert into a biker, begging the question why they ever made the sculpt in the first place
When your paint pot is still 1/4 full, but the paint has half-dried into a slimy, thick mess and you don't notice until its on the model...

Last year, my mom had a cast on her leg after slipping on ice and breaking her ankle. One of the casts, probably the first one, ended up with a bloodstain - which is apparently normal. So I, in my infinite wisdom, wrote on this cast, "Blood for the Blood God!" with an arrow pointing to the bloodstain.
I gather that the doctor who removed that particular cast was not familiar with Warhammer.

I always put the bottle in hot water. It melts the glue enough that you can squeeze the remaining glue out.

Get lots of extras?
Work on dialogue so as it doesn't seem to budget?
Cheap mannequins make good substitutes at range if you have to have an exploding head or something.
Also turkey sausages, they used them in one of the George Romero movies.

I forgot to mention that our budget is about 40 American dollars, and none of us have been to film school, besides our narrator. However, we have made an incredibly successful version of the 40k book Fifteen Hours, and even had an accidental special effect gone right in which the ork warboss's face was 'shot' with a prop gun and the stuffing under the mask spilled out, looking like brain matter all over the ground.

Well your problem is your cursing the dice gods. That's a no no. What I do is whenever they get a good roll, I praise my dice and they roll better then if I didn't praise them. Start praising your dice.

Your offering was not enough... I suggest offering the gods 2 snakes and ladders boards next time. Maybe even a full monopoly set.
I put dice that roll low in time out. I only bring them out to make leadership tests. If they roll well for these then they may be allowed to join the rest of their brothers.
When you really want a drop-pod based Khorne marine army, so you can yell "Blood for the Blood God!" whenever a drop-pod makes its reserve roll, then start to consider how much another army will actually begin to cost you...

S'okies, I got that when I was buying glue once.
Nothing else, just plastic glue.
I'd been spending money like crazy on WH40k stuff after finally getting an income source other than an allowance - I still live with my parents, so I don't have to worry about rent or food money or stuff like that. And then I bought some cheques from my bank. My next attempted purchase was that glue. My card didn't go through.
So I went to my bank, which conveniently was located about a hundred feet away from the store I'd tried to buy the glue at. Turned out the cheques had gotten me into a negative balance. So I transferred money from my savings account into my chequing account, withdrew some money, and went back to the store and bought that glue. ^_^
Brings to mind... I got some gift certificates for Christmas a couple of years ago, for that same store. I went in and got a Leman Russ - and if I'd been smart, I'd've gotten my Baneblade and maybe a couple more Leman Russes there instead of at the local GW, which is where I ended up buying them, as the FLGS has a discount on WH40k stuff - the stuff they have on their shelves, anyways. If they have to order it, you don't get the discount, sadly. The discount is something like 10 or 15 percent, I dunno. So it gets rung up at the cash, I hand the guy the gift certificates, and, like I was expecting, it ended up being a little more than the gift certs. So I had my debit card out, my head down in a withdrawn way, and he tells me the additional amount. So I say, "On debit." He says something I didn't really get, so I just reply, "On debit," then get the feeling I should look up. So I look up at the cash register, and it's something like 8 cents. So I laugh nervously, put my card away, and get out the coins from my wallet.
I'd shop at that store more, except that I had a bad experience once. I wanted a couple more plasma cannons for my Marines and also a multi-melta or two for some reason, so I went and bought a Devastator box. Got it home about 20 minutes after leaving home, opened it up excitedly, then I saw a blister of metal parts.
Now THAT'S a sinking feeling, right there. When you realize that the box of Devastators you just bought is the old one with metal weapons, not the current all-plastic one with more options.
when your scooter's back tire get's flatten when you drove around 2 km away from home. i had to drag that bucking thing all the way back (and i tell ya, it was an old one, with rusty wheels, so it was heavy to push home).

when you paint something and it looks super awsome, and then you realize that the model hadnt been washed with soap before the painting and therefore the color will just scratch of at the slightest touch. Darn! If the dude falls over, the knees will be bare!
That sinking feeling when you offer the Dice Gods 3 S&L Boards, and then your Succubus takes a charge from 3 FETHING CARNIFEXES! Because she couldn't make the distance needed to get out of range!
That's it, I've got my own dice entity now.

Yep, true that. I believe they used to be called "castle siege" games or something, and were usually trebuchet themed. Nothing new at all

Speaking of WIPs, I'd build my last 3 Sternguard veterans, but all the room on my work area is taken up by daemonettes, seekers, and guardswomen. Mostly guardswomen, which are lying face down to let their backpacks dry. Probably too much glue over the last couple of days. Built 20 daemonettes, 10 seekers, 3 Killa Kanz, 4 converted and kitbashed lizardy Space Marines, and have almost finished 36 Chapterhouse Studios guardswomen - who all just need heads - all since yesterday morning. Oh, and I finished painting up a birthday present for my friend which had been on hold since July 2011.
Also, I feel hungry. You know that sinking feeling when you might be getting the munchies from being around too much glue?
Good news crew! I'm writing a book, and going paintball tomorrow with the co-director of the Zed movie. I might or might not be able to upload some vids and pics of it.
The book is a sci-fi still in the second chapter that takes place in a believable near-future in which mankind has been united into a single UWF (united world federation) and is currently in many conflicts with rebels and hostile beings. No name yet.
I used to write CYOA stories. First went for about 2 years on some other site, then the sequel for about a year before a mod shut it down for being off topic.

When they want the army to be themed like Mandalorians from Star Wars.

When they don't specify what army they want and just say "Mandalorian" even after a brief overview of each army.

I think that it was about a 60's garageband called 'the wonders.' It was called something like "That Thing You Do" (no thats what she said-ing) or something. It's a nineties movie.
What should I call my book? It's about near-future paratroopers fighting an assortment of insectoid brutes. The sub-plot is a recruit who nearly dies several times, but some mysterious guardian angel is always saving him by replacing his place with someone else's. He over time is afraid of danger because whenever he almost dies, someone else dies instead.

That sinking feeling when you start a Maplestory thread... Also that sinking feeling when you create a thread for a tank you spent about a week on and it just seems to die.

You know that sinking feeling when as soon as you've posted something in one forum, you get an e-mail about a reply in another forum and you feel you have to go and post there...

Hehehe. I know that it's sort of under that bug war genre, but it is truly original. They actually jump out of planes with packs on, more similar to Elysian drop troops than SST.

YKTSF when your casual chaos army has started rolling, (which is extremely uncompetetive; no lash princes, no plague marines, no oblits) and you know it will absolutely crush your friend's armies.
You know that sinking feeling when the weekend's over and you have to go to school
That sinking feeling when you worked all weekend... when you work every weekend, 10-hour days suck. I wanna try dropping off an application at gamestop, just to try...

Well, depending on what career you want to pursue and how far into it you are (i.e. not dependent on parents) then maybe what makes you happy is the right way to go.

These are just temporary jobs until college and the military stuff, it's still not worth stressing over, like 10-hour bus-boy shifts when I may be able to get similar money, less-laboriously elsewhere.
When you finally get a Shikome for your Malifaux crew and the wings have to actually be attached, probably a minor annoyance but brings back memories of the Swooping Hawk wings.

When they want the army to be themed like Mandalorians from Star Wars.
When you settle on making them a Kill Team army, just so they can play and they don't respond to text messages.
When you want them to reconsider their choice of army into something more... serious, but still can't get in touch.
When they don't specify what army they want and just say "Mandalorian" even after a brief overview of each army.

ROTC people dont really go to OCS, they get a commission (usually in the Army Reserve) after completing their programat school. While they are in school they go through a bunch of "officer" training. So I guess it would be like saying they are going to college with a dash of OCS included.

My wallet hurts..
11000! thats a lot of necrons, ever get to play them all at once?
I actually did one time and let me say this
6 monoliths and a pylon are pretty hard to take down (old living metal rules)
That and the storm callers war cell is pretty nasty also. detroyer lord and 9 wraiths, along with the reconstruction scarabs asset is a nasty combo. Wraiths have 2++ plus the reconstrucion scarabs will repair next turn on a 2+ and count as being within range of a res orb.
19 lascannons and a Baneblade only managed to wound the nightbringer once and immobilise a monolith 1st turn. I really felt kinda bad actually. It was IG and BA though against my mass metal army.
I guess to add to this poster...
You know that sinking feeling when your parking lot fails to do anything first turn.... and the green energy is starting to flicker atop monoliths galore... tasty pie

The way I understand it is you go through school while doing regular reserve training, after graduation, you do regular service and go through NCO training and then Officer training (leaving as a 2nd lieutenant) , then finish your required time (4 years) before deciding whether or not to reenlist.
"Weapon X is supposesed to be an AT weapon, but an anti infantry weapon Y is 0.2564% more efficient AT per 0.0002658pts per army. Fail GW/Ward/Cruddace"
Its just a game. If some 40yr old nutbag living with his parents takes a game so seriously as to calculate which toy soldiers are better, then his problem.
Ok, just needed an outlet. Rant over. It felt good.

Math Hammer , I prefer to use random units and just throw them randomly at the enemy

I'm not 100% but I really doubt you do NCO training or Officer training, you would have to either become a NCO through enlisted service, or go through OCS and become an officer. All the ROTC guys I served with basically told me it was a waste of time after wards because the only benefit (other than being really moto when going in, which is annoying as hell lol) is you get the automatic e-2 promotion in boot camp (that everyone can get).
Do you get like college credits or some sort of tuition grant or something?

Ohhhhh, so it's like only for reserves commission? huh, thats.. wierd lol. I guess that makes sense though. That's still funny they can get a commision without OCS tho. huh.

Yeah, Four-year scholarship for four years of service in the Army, National guard, or Reserves, and according to the Army's website, ROTC enlistees receive commissioned officer training and service after graduation.
Edit: here's the quote from their site: "Army ROTC graduates are commissioned as U.S. Army Second Lieutenants. They then receive specialized training in one of 17 different Army branches. During their Army careers, they'll receive regular professional training as they advance through the ranks, and they'll have many opportunities for advanced leadership positions and post-graduate education.

You do regular college stuff while going to ROTC classes every so often for your entire college career. There are regular physical exams and educational exams for ROTC class, and expect to be wearing a uniform all the time. After four years, you have your degree, your commission and an obligatory service term, depending on a couple of thing. Usually it's four years.
You usually have to pick a degree that would serve as an incentive for the army to even send you in the first place(can't think of one, but nothing like liberals arts). I'm not sure, but I think after you graduate, there are some final courses that they make you go through before you're sent to your first duty station, plus addition MOS training and all that jazz. After that, you might decide it's not for you, retire as a lieutenant and go on with your life, degree in hand. Or, you might decide that you love the service and stay in for 40 years and retire as a Colonel or something.
Being an Officer is a big deal, and it's not for everyone. Just do the best you can, and keep your ears open and your mouth closed :3
I'm going enlisted, mainly because I'm too lazy to even try to shoot for officer. I don't consider myself a good leader or a reputable person, but I might have the brains for it. I think I'd be doing my fellow sailors a favor by NOT being an officer. I sure know I wouldn't want to listen to me.

Thanks for that p-gray99!
