Hi everyone, since i just super glued my fingers together it got me thinking. What is the worst injury YOU have sustained with anything related to warhammer? This can be stepping on a model, bumping your head against ur desk, cutting your finger with the saw, or ever super gluing ur fingers together *cough*...

One day trying to cut a metal model I sliced my finger with an exacto knife.

One time, I looked at some ones crappy painting on their Yarrick Miniature.... I lost sight in my left eye for a few days.

Aside from the usual minor exacto cuts on my fingers, I did manage to throw my back out for a week after a game that I spent bending too much over the table. To be fair, I had actually injured my back 2 weeks before, but oh man did it get aggravate the problem.

*Disclaimer* This is both true and somewhat heebie-jeebie inducing for those who visualize things well.

A friend was visiting while I worked on building some figs. We were chatting about nothing (always dangerous to have your attention diverted). At one point I noticed my exacto start to roll toward the table edge. I think I had both hands very occupied gluing pieces. It was one of those you-watch-it-all-happen-in-slow-motion moments. It rolled off the table, I tried to move my bare legs, it falls point down and sticks into the side of my ankle (on the inside just above the bone bump). The worst part? Rather than continuing on to the floor, the knife simply fell over, still stuck into my leg. So now it was hanging over, skikn folded in a gruesome fashion with blood trickling down my foot. My friend, the former military policeman and all-around tough guy, slumps over in an attempt not to pass out from watching. The funky part was trying to figure out how to remove the knife without doing further damage.

+1, was bledding for 10 minutes, dang those things are sharp as I didn't even feel it

Aside from that I have had a very stiff back after some games that I had to play on the floor (of my house)

Nothing major. But still silly as the injuries where the results of painting/playing with miniatures

I had one of those brush applicator pots of lock-tite super glue, and accidentally dumped it on my jeans.

First I was pissed, thinking I had ruined my jeans. Then they started smoldering. Things went downhill from there.

Skull Pass Night Goblin Spearmen.

Those 5 words make many cringe.

Wha...wait...smoldering?!

Tripped over my dog and stepped on Kroq'gars spear driving it an inch and a half into my foot.

Didn't know I had a bit of glue on the back of my hand when I rubbed my eyelid, walked into the emergency room with my hand glued to my eyelid and my eye burning like a

Worst I've had was when I was trimming a model with my exacto knife - wasn't paying attention, the blade was kind of dull, and I was using more force than necessary...

Basically, the knife slipped, went halfway into my pinky, and fell to the floor (thankfully it missed my legs - my feet were raised up since I was sitting on a stool). Went to ER, had to get stitches and I no longer have much feeling in that finger.

Oh, and I did once (don't ask me how I managed this) manage to stab myself in the thigh with my knife. ...even I don't know how I did that one.

Well maybe I can one uppeth y'all.

Was using a pocketknife when I first got my pieces to work on some Dreadnoughts. See, at college, I didn't have power tools. So how do you think I cut into them to fit the magnets? Knife. And using magnets from legos was, of course, fun as hell.

Anywho, got through one dreadnought and moved onto the second. Partway through, knife folded. Onto my finger. Blood Was everywhere, so I wrapped it up and cleaned up, freaking out a bit. Didn't really panic till I looked at it and saw how deep it was. Rode down to the nearby clinic on my bike with about 10 paper towels masking taped onto it. Closed.

Went back to my room and waited with friend deciding what to do. Even called future (now current) girlfriend for advice. Needless to say I got mocked for toy soldiers, then it started bleeding anew, so me and friend went to hospital. Six hours there, because the doctors saw I cut so deep that I might've hit a nerve or tendon. I DID nick a tendon. That and I bled continuously for those 6 hours, it alternating between dribbles and outpouring. Eventually they stitiched it up with 2 stitches IN my finger and 4 on the surface.

Even now, 6 months later, I still can't bend that finger all the way and I have a wicked scar.

I use power tools now. A Drill is my best friend, EVER.

Even now

Not warhammer, but miniature related... when I was a kid I was shaving flash off some army men, and put the blade of an exacto all the way into the meat of my left hand, between the thumb and the other fingers. I was so freaked out I just wrapped a towel around it, never told my dad, and after a day or two it stopped bleeding. Plus side was that's how I learned left from right... left side is the one with the scar on it.

I had to get 6 stitches in my hand when i slipped with a modelling knife.

I cut my hand when I cut myself when I was assembling my Manticore. It cut pretty deep, but didn't hurt at first, and I though: "Oh , this is going to hu-AAAARGH!"

Also, while gaming, I hit my hand on one of the top of an Imperial ruin, the ones with the spikes. It hurt a ton.

Cactus dropped on my foot whilst playing 40K with said succulent as scenery.

I managed to cut myself just under my right thumb nail, hurt like a bitch, so i washed it, it stoped bleeding for a while so i went back to modeling, so i was glueing with super glue and managed to get super glue on that cut and by god did that hurt!

I also managed to tread on a IG junior officer with powersword, that hurt but what the worse thing happened after that while i was hoping arround like an idiot i stubbed my little toe on the other foot and fell other and guess what I landed on... that same dam officer.

Remember the old 2nd edition starter box gretchin with the kaizer helmets? knelt on some of them while playing a game on the floor, needless to say if I needed a large number of similar helmet spikes in a hurry I could have used my knee as a press-mold for about 3 days!

I cut the bottom of my big toe with a scalple, was like an inch long and wouldn't stop bleeding

I was trying to push a very thin metal rod into a small hole I had drilled in my trygon, and as it was too small/thin to grip or push in with my finger, I ended up pushing it with the underside of my thumbnail.

Long story short my thumb slipped and the rod went right down under my nail. I believe some places use a similar technique as a method of torture. Let me tell you it is extremely painful.

Cutting with a cheap-arse cutter a couple years ago while cutting stuff for some Necromunda terrain.

The blade broke and the flying piece landed on my hand and started bleeding a lot, but since it wasn't deep I fix'd it with my deodorant and a zippo xD

I have a leather guard for my fingers for when im using a pen knife, proberby woud of done somthing like that if i wernt for that piece of leather.

not really an injury but I hate gluing my fingers to a fig I'm working on.

I know a guy works for GW. Basically he was on his own building some minatures out of a Black Box using superglue, when all of a sudden the model slips and lands on the floor. No problem, he bends down to pick it up lying his face against the table in order to do so. Unbeknownst to him, the table had actually been covered in superglue due to the bottle falling over whilst he worked.

He ended up face superglued to table, back to the shop door which was open and nowhere near a phone. He had to throw the keys to a regular who came in (30mins later) to lock up the shop and call an ambulance to un-stick his face from the table. Took about 2.5 hrs if I remember correctly...

Oh, and about £700 worth of box sets also miraculously dissapeared whilst he was stuck there.

Suffice to say he doesn't work for GW anymore...

I cut my thumb a lot while trimming off the excess on my models. One time i sliced about a centimetre down the side of my thumb right next to the nail. I was using a fairly dull Stanley knife so it was my own fault. It wasn't bleeding badly at all but hurt like a . I still had most of a squad to finish off, so I reached for the super glue bottle that was in a handy spot and glued the flap of my thumb back down. About 10 minutes later it happened again. only this time it was an almost perfectly perpendicular cut from the first. So now I have a chunk of thumb flesh holding on to where I had glued it back down originally. So again I glued it down and bit back the pain. Wrapped it up in a couple layer thick coating of Band-Aids and finished off trimming. My mum saw my thumb wrapped up later that day and quite rightly gave me an ear full for being such an idiot. Now I only use sharp blades.

I took a corner off my thumb

I was with a guy when the marine he was glueing snaped. Some glue got in his eye and he needed to go to the hospital. He had an eye patch for 2 weeks.

Super glue in eye...
not me but someone I know

A friend of mine always used to glue either his fingers together, his hands together or his fingers to a minature. One day he got the bright idea that if he used latex gloxes this would happen. It turns out that latex gloves are porris enough for super glue to pass through.

I tried to creat a real fusion cores for my Templars plasmaguns and it just went terrible wrong.







At least 3 are working now.

I need to get the hell out of this thread, I find myself gimacing constantly.

Nothing this terrible has happened to me. The worst I've gotten was a thumb sliced wide open by an x-acto blade on two occasions, but neither deep enough for anything more robust than a bandage.

Related to warhammer: Glued my hands together.

Unrelated to warhammer: Messed up my fingernail good when I had to pry apart the chest piece for a vincent model. There was only one hole that the connecter fit in to, and it jammed While I tried putting it in, so I had to try and remove it and replace it.

I think the guy who had his face glued to the desk wins this one haha!

I love this thread when it comes around:



Exorcist: 1
daedalus: 0

Normally, I threaten my friends with death if they take me to the hospital. One of my friend's girlfriend (the only one I could get ahold of) was terrified when I told her I cut myself and couldn't get it to stop bleeding. She was most terrified by the fact that I was completely calm about it. The two of them picked me up and kept me company in the hospital while I waited to be seen, right behind all of the people who looked like the worst injury they had were toothache/stomaches. There was one guy there who had very clearly broken his leg. They told me that they'd give me hell for it if I got any less than 5 stitches, because I hate hospitals so much. I got 6.

A week later I was diagnosed with H1N1. Those breathing mask dispensers apparently aren't just for show :(

The worst I have sustained (I don't count all the times I slice myself with an exacto...) was with and orbital dremmel saw. I was cutting a pewter figure, which it cuts like butter being a 30,000 rpm saw that is wafer thin with a serrated edge, and as the figure was heating up it bound and proceeded to run. Well my thumb was in the way.... and it cuts flesh even better than metal! I cut my thumb from tip to cuticle down to the bone. It took it 20 sec to figure out it even wanted to bleed. And after pouring a little hydrogen peroxide on it I proceeded to pass about for 5 sec. That has been the worst I have managed to injure myself so far with "hobby" tools.

My story is kinda funny, but also very painful.

Playing a game of Warhammer 40k outside (as the weather was perfect) and went to get some food. Slipped on some water, fell off the porch, and on to the stone patio. Needless to say, it hurt a lot. The same game, his brother slipped in the same place and fractured his ankle. I consider myself lucky as hell.

I once ended up with five Skull Pass night goblins sticking out of the sole of my foot after I stood on some by mistake. It was a dark morning, and I wasn't paying attention. I will never mock the weedy-ness of goblins again.

The fumes really stung too, and the problem with wearing something trying to vigorously combust is that they follow you.

Although really, threads like this always make want to ask, 'why don't you people use clippers to get stuff off the sprue?'

Bookwrack wrote:Although really, threads like this always make want to ask, 'why don't you people use clippers to get stuff off the sprue?'

Actually, I do, the two times I sliced myself open I was actually shaving bits of sprue off of already-cut bits.

Both times, it was during the assembly of a Rhino or Rhino based vehicle.

...hmmmm.

I'll tell you another. Getting little droplets of thin super glue on your palm and then hitting it with Insta-set will wake you RIGHT UP! And the swirling wisps of white smoke coming off of your skin has a habit of damaging your grip on reality for a wee time. Ahem, "SHRIEK!"

HAHA i do you clippers, but when i need to shave something down thats when most of my injuries happen, or when im gluing metal to their base...

do i dare ask how this happened?

Coz im knife happay, I was using a GW hobby knife (exacto?) to cut open a land raider box from ebay.

Because of wrist problems from playing my PC on a bad table, I found it hard to cut the box, which was covered in sticky tape. I held one side of the box with my left hand, and cut along the edge facing me with my right. The cardboard was slowly cutting, then the knife slipped into the crack where the box opens, sliced through the sticky tape and went point-first into the webbing between my left thumb and index finger...

Didnt hurt so much but bled like hell. bandaids dont work well in those areas....

I find getting the flash from sprues off with a blunt knife, it works fine but doesnt cut the gak out of me when I cut gak.

Knife slipped across my thumbnail and bit into the skin at the base of the nail all the way to the joint. Weird flap of skin.

my friend and i were playing a game, and as we're playing he keeps messing with an exacto knife. i tell him to stop playing with it and he agrees. as he walks behind me he gets the briliant idea that pretending to thrust the knife forward would be hilarious. im kinda flinchy, so as i see the movement in the corner of my eye i swat at him (BRILIANT) and the knife goes into my middle finger. I probly should have gotton stiches because the entire night i bled over my pillow, but i didnt want my parents to get mad at my friend. It left a cool scar though......

I got quite severe hemroids from reading codex books on my toilet too long.

SmackCakes wrote:I got quite severe hemroids from reading codex books on my toilet too long.

Amen.
Done the same myself, although having all the imperial armour books doesn't help a jot.

I had a foot injury once, i was spinning my exacto knife like it was a pen and it slipped out of my hand and fell into my foot, gladly it didnt break the skin TOO bad

templeorks wrote:One day trying to cut a metal model I sliced my finger with an exacto knife.

Similar to this. Was trimming the flash off a metal model with a GW hobby knife and it slipped badly. Had just replaced the blade with a really sharp new one and gashed my hand open. Needed stitches but healed fine thankfully.

I cut through my thumbs so many times that I have a thick layer of skin on each of them now.

I always get surprised when I change my blades for new ones as those are the only ones that manage to get through.

When I was younger and before I grew thicker skin I used to actually put superglue on my thumbs. Don't touch anything and let it harden and it would actually help protect. It took a few days to shed it away however so that ended up being annoying a few times.

I was bored and trying to prise open a model with a GW knife

Spent the next few minutes trying not to pass out (as I usually do when faced with grossness or Passion of the Christ ) and farting whilst a friend phoned for an ambulance as he couldn't drive and I obviously couldn't walk.
A special paramedic came out, as it was Friday night and they didn't want me stuck in A&E, and was chuffed as hell because he got to stitch such an unusual place It felt like my palm was made of leather when he was stitching it.

Whilst it healed I could feel the cut move everytime I moved my hand, which is creapy as hell!

A direct copy-paste of my addition to the Wargaming injuries article.

I have had a eye-related superglue incident. Some women complain that childbirth is the most painful thing ever; they have clearly never taken a large glob of superglue in the eye, which sealed the eye shut. I still have a blind spot.

S_P

I still have a scar on my forearm from leaning on a spare Dragonmage head that was on my painting table. It hurt but i couldnt see anything sharp around. This was because it was still in my arm. I was Not Amused.

I think someone mentioned a cat earlier, well i had just come home from town with my new set of firewarriors, while i was assembling them my cat was meow-ing at my bedroom door, so i let her in sit back down ad clip some peices of the new sprue, my cat jumped onto my lap so i but the clipper plier things on my leg and when i went to stroke my cat she moved away and the clipper "blade" stabbed into my hand an i lifted my hand an the clippers closed shut, and from then on i had a huge scar on the palm of my hand. And if someone asks what it is i say "ask my cat pilchard"

almost castrated myself nuff' said

*Raises eyebrow

I'll post pics if you dont belive me.

I'm pretty sure that would break several Dakka rules... I believe you. *Shudders

which ones precisly?

My morbosity wants to know the how xD

I almost got injured there, but making a piece of armour, not modeling.

Ok so i was cutting parts from the sprue near my croutch and one thing lead to anoughter and POW i can nolonger have kids or a boner that dosent sting like heel.

Oh man, do I feel your pain. Or at least, I did. In fairly quick succession, and both following a back injury, I played two 5-game tournaments with Eldar and an Ork horde, in that order. The Eldar weekend was bad. After the Ork weekend I barely moved for three days.

Cut open the knuckle of my left hand while chopping up some models. Sealed it with some superglue and carried on, because I am a real man.

That's why you normally do that on a table.

If it makes you feel better, I was drilling a piece of steel so I could rivet it to a leather strap. I was doing it on a work-bench and the drillbit broke in half and flew like a small missile, "luckily" it just got buried in my leg and not on my noble parts xD

I'm missing an eye.... Just kidding.

I was trimming up a tigurius model and ended up cutting pretty deep into my index finger...There's still blood on the model...Probably just because I'm lazy

You'll want to clean it, because you don't blood rust on your mini, trust me.

Dark wrote:You'll want to clean it, because you don't blood rust on your mini, trust me.

Oh, this was months ago. It's on his white cape,and it splattered in an actually cool way, so I was like, what the heck? I need to strip him anyway. I've since improved my white technique.

You were trimming a painted model? What?

He wouldn't fit on his base, so I had to trim part of the bottom of his cloak. Long story. I got it from a guy that had no idea how to glue things in a reasonable manner

Ah, blood on paint, that's an a-ok. I though, since you where trimming it, that it was bare metal.

SilverMK2 wrote:Cut open the knuckle of my left hand while chopping up some models. Sealed it with some superglue and carried on, because I am a real man.

Best use of superglue, we used it to close cuts on the rugby pitch.

I heard something about a guy who used to paint his khorne berserkers with his own blood...That guy should be on this thread..

"Yeah, everyday, just about. I routinely slash my forearm open and let it run down onto the models. It gives them a real Khorne look"

Tripped and slammed my hand on my plastic chaos rhino.Needless to say it had afew spikes on it so yeah. The rhino was perfectly fine my hand wasn't >>

Makes me wonder if its really protected by Tzeentch...

Well, if you seal the mini, then drop blood on it, and re-seal the mini it can look good.

Gives me ideas for my marine's chainswords.

I was partaking in a mammoth Apocalypse game when we all decided it would be incredibly funny to have a dice fight. We were throwing d6 at each other when someone thought it would be cool to throw the big massive apocalypse sized blast template(not the flower one) at me, in a vain attempt to protect myself I raised my hands and took the skin off my left forearm.

Fair enough!

First off this is not funny those that laugh i hope it happens to you TWICE!!!

Ok, i was working into the night after getting ready for bed. i was assembling my LRC and was aptly applying the glue when i droppped the super glue down the flappy hole of my boxers. I think every can guess the result. Skin on skin is fine for hands. One doctor laughed about it and i broke his jaw. I did get charged with assault but when the judge read why i did it he dropped the charges and told me to never play with glue again without adult supervision.

You tell us about a hand to wang glue accident and expect us not to laugh? Oh, and you're a massive gakker for hitting a doctor, anyone would think he was going to help you or something.

He wasn't my attendin physician.

I've gotten super glue in my eye before. that was a nightmare and a long time spent sitting at the ER

I stabbed myself in the hand with a modeling knife while trying to convert my sm landraider into a bw.

the blade of the knife came of and stukk into the bone of my left hand. knowing that I should not pull out the blade (everyone in my family is in the medical field but me) I take it out. blood was pooring out of the cut. I finally got it to stop bleeding by holding my hand above my head for about an hour.

that really sucked

This one didn't happen to me but i saw it happen: My best friend michael was painting his Abaddon model and dropped his brush as he leaned down to get it he sneezed and abaddon got stuck right beneath his chin. I was rolling around laughing, cuz he looked me dead in face and said " dude did i just pull a homer?"

I'm having issues to make a mental image on the last one.

About the drop of glue in the boxers, I can really imagine a worse situation (I didn't laughed, don't worry, I just woke up from a nap and my laughing hability hasn't come back yet).

And this talk about hemorroids, I know people wants to emulate the Emperor, but the White Throne isn't for that.

How do you get hemroids? I sit on the computer all the time (on dakka ) on th toilet quite often..

I just got back from the hospital because i glued my hand to the table, and the glue so burned so bad that part of my skin was burnt off, and a bunch of my skin was torn off from trying to remove my hand from the table...

I sliced the top/side of my index finger on my left hand off. Lol it still looks funny because its thinner than my other finger.

hit my head on a shelf while packing up my army...3 times(I play ig so i had to go back into the difficult to reach position twice more) taught me not to store stuff in hard to reach places

MANY toilets. 4 actually. It keeps my back straight, to say the least. Better than my computer chair

Tried with a regular chair? I even use one on my PCs and my back is ever happy.

Regular chairs are boring. Just look at a toilet....It was designed to be sat on for long periods of time

xD

Hemorroids say otherwise

ok got a new one:

While playing in a tourney today sombody threw an exacto knife and everyone ducked but me, got me in the right shoulder. Needles to say 4 hours later i got the bleeding to stop and won best painted Rhino award and passed out twice from pain as everyone who showed up late patted my back and wanted know if i was ok. (Funny thing though they were all BA Players?)

what did they do to the idiot who threw the knife?

Ninja'd.

No, no it's decent glue just becareful!! ie no gluing in the semi nude, make sure you wear goggles, and keep some good saop around.

My friend was contemplating the mysteries of zap-a-gap (an instant glue hardener spray), so he decided to pour glue in his hand and then spray it with zap. Apparently he didn't know that the glue heats up. He had a nasty chemical burn for ~2 weeks and can't feel anything in the palm of his hand now.

What an idiot lol, he was yelling ARRRGGHH the whole time but didn't want to spill the glue on our LGS floor, so he just took the pain.

Friend of mine cut the webbing in his thumb accidently after slipping a cut trying to orkify a falcon grav tank, lucky I was there and superglued the cut (after he almost passed out from artirial blood loss) then took him to the clinic to get a transfusion.

They put him in observation for 2.5 days and then sent him home.

That was just under a week ago.

I have a nice large scar on the back of my left hand from a hobbyknife. I had dropped a chimera wheel (from the old kit) reached down without looking and sliced the back of my left hand with a rusty hobby knife. It was slightly sticking out from a lower shelf and I hadn't realized it was there.

The scar runs from my pinky knuckle to the rightside of my wrist.

Heh, go to the emergency room with an open cut, and they'll just use superglue on it xD Faster than getting a surgeon there to stich it if it isn't that deep.

My brother (while modeling not 40K sadly).

Cut into his thumb just above the base knuckle, cut into his bone and all flesh but the webbing... with plastic saftey scissors.
They glued him back together. Mmm Dethklok ^_^

trollo lolo lol

Pics or it didn't happen...Eh..Never mind.

Superglue was originally designed to close wounds quickly. It damn burns though.

Don't know how it happend, but a friend of mine caught CSM in his braces...

(Spelling edit)

Not really sure if it's directly related, but my mate and I were painting at my place, and I accidentally knocked my pink paint pot off the table, spilling it all over the floor. This move of great wisdom was followed by the loudest swear word I have ever uttered. Needless to say, my parents weren't happy, and I got double beating for swearing. So yeah, it wasn't directly from a miniature, but cause and effect, all that stuff...

Peace

Don't as how it happend, but a friend of mine cought CSM in his bracelet...

That doesn't sound too bad.

Unless bracelet is a euphimism for something.

I gotta call BS on this. Just no way does this sound like it would happen.

Throne, men, I never saw such ammounts of bad luck.

And you, Sabatine, get rid of your minis and anything that has a sharp edge, you'll kill yourself in a couple days at this rate D:

Are you nuts?! i love the challenge they're out to get us all one by one they've already got my brother now they're after me but my superior size and ability to move is my advantage LOL!

But there's no honour in jumping onto an almost sure death without a chance of dragging others with you.

years ago when I was in the Army, I woke up in the middle of the night used the bathroom, put on some chap stick and went back to bed. Woke up and tried to have a smoke, and realized that I had superglued my lips together.

do i dare ask how this happened?

I have a habbit of playing with things on the floor of my room. now my mum got me three medical scalples to work with instead of a hobby knife so I dropped one on the floor and rather than pick it up I just took one of the otheres from my tray and carried on. so later I found something that felt quite nice, flipped it over and ran my toe along it felt quite nice until i hit the blade and started feeling the blood run down my toe. I had to hop to the bathroom while not getting any blood on the carpets.

Sorry, no stories from me. I'm too careful/meticulous.

Mother-eff, you must've had a hard time getting to the hospital.... *dials 000/911 or whatever.... "Yes?" "Mmmmm!! mmmmrmrm!"*

I suffered severe brain damage from reading Codex: Blood Angels. Whither it was from the book itself or me pounding my head into my desk afterwords I cannot tell.

@Luke_Prowler its probably from reading

Yeeesh, so many accidents with plyers and knives. The worst I've ever done was when my first bottle of modeling glue spilt all over my index finger, I then proceded to flip out and move my hand away only to knock over the "quicker drying" spray which got the liquid on the mess leaving me with a burning cast of glue on my finger for ten minutes as I tried to scratch it off into the sink . Besides that my little brother got the spray in his eye and it left it irritated for a few minutes.

Sounds almost cartoon-ish, with that chain reaction.

Not an injury, except to my friend's pride -

I was at his house, and we were painting. This is at about 11am. When we had finished a boxed set of Lord of the Rings Orcs, we searched for a place to dry. He decided on the place outside where his brother usually parked his car. His brother was in Sydney for the day, and would get back late that night. My friend said, "We'll go inside, watch the Matrix trilogy, then come back and get them before my brother gets home. I replied with these fateful words - "What's the bet we forget them?"

24 hours later, his brother had arrived and left again, and, when we walked outside to play soccer, he wound up with a snapped spear in his big toe, and we found pieces of orc all over the place. We only salvaged 11 in good condition.

BAHAHAHA. Thank you for linking that. I will sound evil but I couldn't stop laughing while reading this.

I feel all injuries come in a chain reaction, you just cant have 1...

I'm not even sure what I was cutting, but about a month ago I sliced my finger (middle finger?) from the first joint all the way to the front of the tip. About 1" long and probably 1/4" deep. Thank the Emperor it was a brand new blade so I didn't feel a thing. Went to the sink, rinsed it out with Hydrogen Peroxide, pushed the flap of skin back down and then stuck on a pair of big band aids. Switched to liquid bandage after it stopped bleeding like a faucet and now have a nice scar that hurts when I grip things the wrong way. The funniest part was that all my life I've been certain I was left handed. But with my right hand basically out of commission life was ridiculously more difficult than I'd ever anticipated.

Lesson learned. No more cutting with Exacto when the Dremel and a clamp are probably a better choice.

At the beginning of this summer I was using a needle file on a model and subsequently set it down in my lap for another tool. Forgot about it when I got up and it bounced to the floor as I was stepping away from my desk. Somehow I managed to step on its point with the ball of my bare foot, tripping me. It happened so suddenly I didn't realize the extent of the damage. I found what had tripped me; the now broken file. Hobbled to work the next morning only to find the pain increase. Could it be there was a piece of file in my foot? There was no blood but it started to throb like mad. So after getting home I placed a powerful magnet against the sole of my foot...sure enough, it stuck!

So a trip to the emergency room later the doctor on hand had great difficulty extracting a 1/2" tip that was lodged 2cm deep in my foot. I'm still limping 2 1/2 months later. The joys of modeling!

Was putting some Landspeeders together a couple of months ago, and after assembling the flying base I must have knocked it off my desk. Not noticing it, I left the room and when I came back in (barefoot of course), I managed to step down on it and drive the stick through my heel about 3/4 of an inch. Suffice it to say I was not happy, not only did it hurt like hell, and leave a hole in my heel, but I broke another flying base. I do have to thank evolution for that thick padding on the human heel, it didn't penetrate deep enough to do any major damage, and bled very little.

freaking got cold while I was gluing so I went and stood by the heater and stood on the open metal grate and sliced my heal in half. Quite painful to walk on for a while, not to mention I found out just today that I dropped my glue and glued my chair to the floor with one leg. Lame!

Oi, the last ones make me gratefull to only taking my boots off when going to bed or the shower :\

That, and lately every deity seems to be watching me, since I've avoided a couple of potential nasty accidents.

Remember the old 2nd edition starter box gretchin with the kaizer helmets? knelt on some of them while playing a game on the floor, needless to say if I needed a large number of similar helmet spikes in a hurry I could have used my knee as a press-mold for about 3 days!

I did the exact same thing lol

Apart from that, ive super-glued my fingers together, to minis, and to tables. getting the fumes in my eyes is always popular too, do that one about once a week or so.

i was attempting to saw off the head from one mini to use in a conversion once, and the knife slipped. it cleanly sliced off the tip of my fore-finger. not a serious injury but it scared the crap outta me when it happened.

Was trying to glue a warped plastic (god i hate gakky gw plastic moulding) defiler by holding it together really hard. well defilers have lots of pointy bits so by the time I was done putting him together i had 3 cuts, two puncture wounds, and a very bruised hand

Cutting myself with my exacto when I was sposed to be cutting on a model

Alot of the injuries I've seen I wish had affected the genitals so the morons wouldn't be in the gene pool anymore.

U mad?

nope, hes probably just a great fan of the Darwin award.

One time when my friend's measuring tape retracted, the metal piece on it that allows you to pull the tape out snapped off and hit me in the forehead.

Dropped the same friend's metal Tyrant guard on my foot.

Parents distracted my while I was putting shadowsun together, ended up superglueing her to my palm and all my fingers together

Sneezed while glueing railguns to broadsides, lost an eyebrow getting it off.

A variety of cuts to my fingers and hands, no nerve or tendon damage so far, so I'm all good.

and you can't call yourself a wargamer without feeling to touch of a blade while putting something of your army together.

Less like this please. Remember rule no.1

It's only about toy soldiers.

I'm just getting into modeling and I'm now legitimately scared.

Don't worry.


after you have lost the tips of your fingers the pain will become bearable.


"Pain makes one strong"

Nah, its all the fumes from the superglue and the plastic glue that make the world seem a more fun place. *giggles*

Pain is weakness leaving the body.

What is courage, but to defeat the fear you feel?

And, be smart, learn from other errors, and if they happend, most posts contain also what do to in order to solve it.

I just put it up a few days ago, wtfm? Just click on "articles", "humor" Painting & modeling humor", and you'll find it. There's some real gems of humor buried in the articles, like the 7 deadly sins of 40k.
