My friend's basement recently flooded and ruined all of his home-made terrain, rule books, and lost some Necron/IG figures and a few IG Tanks.

My worst was when I came home from work and found my dog chewing on a Crisis Suit (not that bad)

Now I'm interesed in hearing some of your best (or worst) horror/sob stories involving your minis. Share what stories you know if your luck has been good!

So far the worst thing that's happened to my minis is that I paint them myself.

I was playing a game and someone knocked my painted Deff Dread on the floor breaking it. Then he trod on it.

Didn't pay for a new one just apologized. Didn't show his face in the store since then.

My cat deciding that I was not paying him enough attention and the way to get more attention was to hop onto my modelling table when I went to the toilet and flick two open pots of paint onto the floor and then sit there looking smug! little git.

The 2nd and 3rd shelves of this collapsing:



I nearly cried. Literally.

Luckily the 2/3 contain SW/Eldar which I was playing a game of at the time. Talk about luck/karma/*god*.

However my 1994 Blood claws which didnt get used took the absolute brunt of it. My metal Ork KKs were on the top shelf. I still have nightmares about that one going.....

Note: old glue is not strong glue :(

Ouch

:( I have a "post fall" pic somewhere, I'll dig it out at some stage.
Istavaan aint got nothing on it......

Paint pots + 3000 points of models + 3 year old.......

Another time I could not find my space marine captain, I looked everywhere! One day i noticed power armored legs sticking out of a dog terd.....

Worst thing to happen to my minis?

My friends.

They are constantly breaking my models.

I once ran over a spare tire that fell off of the back of someone's truck, and since I had my windows and sunroof open, my Eldar army which was sitting loose in uncovered boxes in the back seat went flying everywhere, mostly getting run over by other drivers or ending up in the culvert below. 8,000 points worth of completely painted Eldar, including an armorcast Revenant scout titan destroyed. By the time the cops arrived, three other people had run over the same tire and I had screamed myself hoarse. I wasn't even that concerned with the car (A twelve year old Ford Escort) and I have not played Eldar since. The owner of the tire that caused all this destruction, including two other vehicles and mine totaled, was never discovered.

The worst thing ever to happen to my minis was the creation of the Grey Knight codex.

Hive Fleet US Customs happened to my BFG ships, I have over 70 imperial navy ships and they were all painted to a good standard and packed in a foam lined box with bubble wrap.

I keep opening the box and making strangled sobbing noises since it arrived late January. There are so many bits snapped off them, so many stems of flying bases snapped inside the bigger ships, so much paint scratched off that I have no idea whether to repaint them from start or try to cover the parts that got uncovered.

It's all a real mess. It was very disheartening after the hours and hours of work.

Trying to have a romantic moment with a girl and while we were getting to know each other, my three dogs came in to the room and stole severl Bret knights and started to chew on them while watching us.

so I stoped got the models from the dogs and sat down to fixed what was damaged.

In a game i once lost balance slightly and lent on my tomb spyder. after that my opponent wouldn't let me use the model. needless to say it was totally ruined.

My cousin pushing my brother onto a setup army (lizardmen) ruined my stegadon and other stuff.. was gutted..

Dropping shelves definitely sucks ass.

I might point out all of these things have the unfortunate side effect -- you have to take time that could be spent painting _OTHER_ minis.

/schoolteacher

Spilling a jar of super glue over two squads of ork boyz, it formed a puddle and was left to dry for 6 hours while I was at school. Came back to them stuck t my desk in an ocean of dried glue. luckily they survived after hours of chipping away at them. My dog also enjoys eating SM and GK. He wont eat orks though... maybe they have to many sharp bits. Anyway 5 SM, 2 GK termies, a rhino and countless paintbrushes have died at the hand of a tiny dog known as...
Rocky...
naw, i love him. He's been my faithful companion in everything.

A white-tailed rat ate 40 of my half-painted Guardians... but meh, they are only guardians.

However, I have misplaced $2000 worth of Rackham Confrontation metals somewhere... 1 small box was all it was and I have a feeling it was thrown in the garbage by mistake during pre-cyclone cleanup

In a game I accidentally dropped my large blast template from about 2 feet onto my casualties. I had about 5 of my painted infantrymen smashed up pretty badly, not nearly as bad as some of these stories though.

My father came over to my house to put in the lights on my modeling table, awesome! He left the modeling room door open. So I get to come home and discover that my cat thought that foam was just awesome to lay upon, with my 1500 points of Dark Eldar within it. Why, oh why, would the cat lay upon all those spikey bits! So smashed the warriors, the ravagers, the reavers, and the raiders and wyches. Snapped off the heads of the Incubi and Archon. They were painted D:

Ouch... talk about rubbing salt into the wounds.

They honestly end up looking like a smashed roach. We found out after I..kinda..sat on my friends..

Minis... Not a lot.

I did have some terrain ruined by a small leak of Turpentine onto it, though.

The piece was a rocky mountain fortress, painstakingly carved from foam, sealed with pva, flock and paint.

Pinhole leak in the bottle (one drop per hour) leaked out and dripped onto it from a high shelf. Over a couple of weeks, it ate its way through the inside of the mountain, leaving a painted skin attached to the base.

I've yet to rebuild it.

Family friend's down sydrome child dropped my predator mark 2 on the floor when I was younger. I had warned them that my models were off-limits but the parents didn't care. I told them to replace it, they just shrugged.

I then told them how much it cost, they got their wallets out and paid for a new one from ebay, plus paid shipping thank the gods.

The second incident occured at my old house. The roof collapsed in the basement because of white ants, and the contractor who we hired chucked out everything in the area...including about half my 2500 pts of marines. I was very angry, and presented him with a bill for what he had thrown out. Then my parents took legal action against him, won it as well.

My poor models sit there naked and unpainted :(

Anyway speaking seriously not much: a friend stepped on a Scarab base, but I reglued them. Then I lost the Gauss muzzle for my Necron Lord, but whatevs. Finally my Archon's back tassel thing got clipped so its slightly shorter but looks fine.

Yeah nothing serious I guess, I am quite careful with my minis.

THe united states postal service lost all of my ultamarines, nids and LOTR when i moved. when i got em back a month later many were broken. Their responce wass "its not our fault, its yours for not insuring them. " Hmmmm
then recently i lent my marines to a freind and he gave them back smelling like pea. lame.

Good thing they dont smell like pee.

Bwahahahahha delightfully honest humor!

The worst thing to happen to my mini's was probably to my Broadside team leader. I spent a ton of time converting/painting you know the deal. A friend of mine bumps the table... he falls 4 feet and shatters into a thousand pieces. Of course I re-assembled... but.. he was never the same.

Ah, actually a more recent one.

Was doing an apoc game. Had rexie. Guy lent on the castor equipped table, rex smashed, including sword, and cape. Greenstuffed it on, but he's not quite the same.

Someone running instore tripped on my baneblade and broke off the barrel of the baneblade cannon (I even had it UNDER THE TABLE).

some new guy picks up my newly painted basalisk, and ripped of the side of the crew area. I told him to glue it back on as is. He managed to break the whole model. I then told him to order a new one from FW for me. He hasn't shown his face at GW since.

someone at my lgs sat on my scratchbuilt warhound titan, how do you not see a foot tall brightly colored behemoth on a chair? now i dont set anything on a chair except my own arse.

My friend broke my heavy stubber off of my LRBT accidentally and took it home with him. Only just noticed.

When my wife noticed just how many unpainted ones I had....

Finding out that matt ward is doing the next cron dex.

Theft. I used to have a lot of Elysians and flyers.

A shelf holding boxed games such as Space Hulk, Necromunda, Heroquest etc collapsed, smashing a FW Warhound I'd only just finished putting back together aftera cat related accident and also obliterating (literally shattering) a FW greater chaos dragon.

I just closed the door in shock and went to bed.

I was discussing this with a friend after posting, and he had a good one to add:

His newly painted Khorne Daemon Prince was killed in a match and placed on a chair due to lack of space on the table....Well, someone didn't see it and sat on it.

Luckily, it only broke at the ankles and was easily repaired

I loaned a buddy a trio of Chaos Rhinos and both of my Vindicators. They were playing on the floor of my apartment when I hear a sickening crunching noise; one of my Rhinos had just been stepped on. I guess my friend's foot failed to penetrate AV11, because the Rhino itself was okay; only the treads, spikes, cupola, and twin-linked bolter snapped off. It was an easy glue, but the spikes now look completely off.

My dice

Playing a game with a friend an he lightly tossed me an objective marker, which was a small resin cast crate. it promptly flew to the opposite side of the table from me and severed a plague marine in half.
lucky for me being in half doesnt stop plague marines :Þ

Worst thing to happen to my minis?

Getting played by me.

Nothing really apart from the odd broken sword of a Plague champion...

I had 2000 pts of fully painted chaos SM with 5 metal termies and a metal dread pinched at a tournament once, worse i was in the last semi finals and had to drop out cuz i didnt have a replacment army. Never found the guy how did that. (weirdly did a trade with 2500 pts of chaos with an infamous user on here n got ripped off, chaos really hate me lol)

AAAh that sucks, that now reminds me of when I went to a tournament and some person was taking the mick out of my decent painted, fully converted nurgle deathguard army and knocked one of my obliterators onto the floor and walked off...

The puppy/kitty combo. My cat will knock them off the table into the waiting jaws of my dog.

I have since learned of way of avoiding this, but a great many Orks were lost to the "Jaws of the house Wolf"

My cat likes to play "chew the paintbrush while human is painting" game...then tries to eat my PopTarts...damned cat...

Two Dogs, 3 Brothers, and my lovely mother encroach upon my guardsmen. Constantly.

I dropped my box full of guard down the stairs(accident of course)and a few guys lost arms or came off the bases, nothing nightmarish.

My friend however, was carrying about 2000 points of tau in his arms (Derp) and tripped down a flight of stairs and landed on most of them, after a cursing run, he solemnly picked up the models, and went home, spent hours re building and re painting some of them. Most of them look like they should be dead, wish they were dead, or in a Picasso painting.

Im fairly sure my painting is the worst thing to regularly happen to my minis.

Once I was playing an apocalypse size game at a friend's house on the floor, years before apocalypse came out.

We werent used to all the models, and I lost track of a land raider.... Then found it when I sat down... there's nothing like digging an assault cannon out of your kiester. i still have a scar. I sold the broken pieces to a friend who plays orks. I got a new raider, and a week later.... SAME THING! I had placed it, and forgot to look when I sat down, and CRUNCH!

words cannot express how mad one gets when he kills his own expensive models.

A friend of mine once left a box of about 1500 points of Necrons on the roof of his car... and then started driving. They got pretty smashed up but I'm pretty sure it's all fixed now.

Not too terrible, but I got rear ended on the way home from my FLGS the other day. Knocked the box with my Orks in it around a bit, and some of the black reach boyz I haven't glued together yet are now headless.

Finding out that matt ward is doing the next cron dex.

Get over yourself dude. Not only is that not funny, the jokes been made already, and he's not a bad writer.

Anyway, the worst thing that happened to my minis was I used the wrong primer, and now my Space Marines look like they half-turned into chocolate.

Yeah, those pets can be real havoc on minis.

I dropped a book on a wych. And worse yet after I put the arms back on, the poor girl had to suffer through being painted by a colorblind monkey who hasn't held a brush since fifth grade whose hands shake as if they were attached to a paint shaker.
...My poor models are ugly cause I suck at painting is what I'm saying, but aside that one book incident they've survived so far.
I suppose it's just a matter of time.

Neglect....

Well, i've lost a Dread foot.... My little brother dropped it on the floor, it was already in pretty poor condition from when i acquired it, so the Dread fell of the base, one foot stayed on the base, one foot fell of and has disappeared....

And my tyrgon i painted (nearly finished, needed a bit more detail work done) i have lent to a friend since he plays Nids and i don't.... And its all chipped, and a couple of the scything talons ends have broken off. (Because he just keeps all his models lose in two boxes, his aren't painted....

The worst to happen to my guys was when a lamp fell on top of my armies on parade board so most of the models got chipped and the terrain came off.

Well as ive only just started playing again after a 5 year break ive got most of my stuff in shoes boxes etc and my dad the other day thought it was a pait of my footie boots and he picked up a box of full metal based and painted autocannon teams for the IG and rolled them over to move them....

...I opened the box in horror and the casualties to my poor guys was about as bad as when they got shot by two squads of Dire Avengers using that double shot ability in the last game. Yeah they were munched :(

Ouch, looking at some of these it seems I've really got off lightly. There's a lot of pet related damage too, but fortunately for me my dog isn't allowed upstairs, and that's where all my minis are

Anyway, the worst that has happened to me is accidently knocking a small box of around 40 ork minis, that was sitting on my windowsill, out the window. Fortunately, damage wise, they fell onto the conservatory which is below my window, so it isn't far to fall, and slid down into the gutter. So none sustainaned any serious damage, they just got a little wet. And it did take AGES getting them all out

I have nightbringer in table and somone drops 1,5l coca cola bottle over it and it goes to peaces (Im looking at you the unforgiven!) and then person who have dropped bottle, gets nervous and steps accidentally on to my second lith in the floor ( this is from my head).

In a sad, spiteful way, I love hearing all these stories about dogs eating minis.

I scared the bejeezus out of my dog with a very spiky ork when he was a puppy. Hasn't been near the miniatures since.

A certain clumsy friend of mine did manage to destroy my beautifully painted and converted KFF mek though.

On the day after it was finished...

I didn't even get to use it; he borrowed it and within three seconds, it was smashed on the floor...
Que sera, sera.

Set my army out on a table, someone at my house then proceeded to sit on the table, a lot of glue was used that day.

Also, I forgot to do up one of the clips on my case (I know I'm a fail), I had also put my rulebook / codexes in the case as well as my mini's and it was too much for the other catch, and as I was standing up with the strap on my shoulder all of the mini's (fully painted to a decent standard) ended up gushing onto the pavement.

Worst thing that happened to me was trading a large number of significantly more valuable models that I didn't want for a small number of much less valuable models that I did want... sent my models off fine... never received anything in return and the sender claimed not to have got my stuff either.

Had to chalk that one up to experience. Now all my trade stuff is sent recorded unless it is only a few bits.

Some guy at a wargaming club knocked my Blight Drone onto the floor off the table - repairable, but it did loose it's piping, which ain't gonna be easy to replace. it was in many different pieces!

Some of the stories in this thread have brought a genuine tear into my eye. Poor little plastic guys.

Well, two out of three's not bad.

I have managed to avoid any real catastrophes with my models, so far. The "worst" things to happen are either A.) I accidentally oversprayed a little rattle can white primer onto a bit of my Zuzzy man, leaving a little white line about 2 inches by half an inch, or B.) I dropped the little baby claws on my Necron Tomb Stalker, and one broke and flew off into the warp. I wound up just removing the other as well and calling it a day. They were hideously miscast (but you already knew it was Forge World, ka-thump!) so I didn't feel too bad about it.

I keep my Deathwing army in homemade segmented cardboard carry containers to save on cost (since I only play at a FLGS 15 minutes from my house). Recently, the container carrying all of the terminators, all of the Ravenwing support, and half of my tactical squads broke on one side, release a flood of terminators onto the floor. A bunch of the old metal assault terminators that I got on Ebay lost weapons/bases. Not a disaster on the level of some of the others here, but I have about a squad and a half of my Assault Terminators out of commission.

Nothing's happened to my measly little collection yet, but I've got a housemove coming up.

Commis to those who have lost their's.

5 days before a Tourny I left the bedroom door unlocked. My 4 year old boy got in their a splattered cobalt blue paint all over an almost completed 2000 point Marine Army.
Spent 4 days on minimal sleep, maximum coffee (hate the stuff), getting everything cleaned up and repainted. And my playing showed the lack of sleep going 1-4.

But its hard to be mad at the little guy who tries so hard to be like daddy and only wants to help dad out.
(I have about 3500 points of Orks painted and ready for him when he turns 7 or 8).

I'd have to say the worst thing to ever happen to my minis was the total loss of 3 complete armies in Hurricane Katrina (along with most everything else).

WOW hurricane is really is the worst thing to happen yet.

Back when I first started with GW minis, one of my little brothers had his friends over and my other brother and I had our LOTR figures set up. A little while later we find out that the friend had smashed a few Riders of Rohan. We asked him why the hell he did that and he said "I didn't realize they were yours!"

Really...?

Oh yeah,We made it through everything and I've even managed to rebuild two of the armies that were lost.

About a week ago, I tried to move a cheap bookshelf I have (one of those cheap plywood and veneer ones that only is being held together by it's own weight), causing the two shelves in it with various WIP IG and some old pewter DH stuff to drop out onto the bottom shelf... where all my tyranids are. :(

I just sat there, staring at it for about 5 minutes. I then quietly asked my roommate if he'd seen my circular saw. I later found it and proceeded to cut myself some lengths of 2x4 to put under the shelves as permenent supports. They're installed with 3" long wood screws. It's not pretty, but I'd imagine that sucker would now survive being thrown out a window.

My roommate later told me that he thought I was going to lose it.

A 5 year old with a paintbrush and paints...

All my Bret Knights (20 or so KoTR, a couple of Errant) were in an open-topped box on my desk so i could spray them, went outside to clear a space in the garage, came back and the box containing my Furioso Dread had fallen off the shelf straight on top of them all....so many broken lances

My cat & dog form a great team! Cat jumps onto the table and playfully knocks a few models off, then the dog hoovers them up! Fortunately, i've managed to stop them before, althoug once I had to save a whole Scout Marine squad from the jaws of death. The cat also likes to chew all of the lights on top of my buildings, like you do...

Thankfully the dog would rather eat DVDs than models.

I don't mind people looking at my models, but once my little cousin carefuly picked one up, looked at it when i told him to be careful, then slammed it down again. :p Didn't break or anything.

And some of these stories have made me cringe, I feel your pain guys :(

this thread made me think: some insurance company should have model insurnace

I was Carrying a few boxes of guys out to my car, some friends and i were going to have a mini tourny for the fun of it, and i dropped my Tyranid box in the driveway.

My tyrant, carnifex , trygon and almost all my warriors broke apart.

Cat pulled an ork gunner from the trakk off the table and buried it in her litter box. It was painted.

God I hate critics.

My worst moment was dropping my cell phone into a box of space marines/space hulk terminators last week. Arms are everywhere, pins busted, torsos went flying...but all fixable

One game (hilarious as well as bad) my friend had a stone thrower hit his unit of dark elf warriors. Another guy went to use the tape measurer (heavy metal) and dropped it on the unit of warriors. They REALLY got hit with a stone thrower. The only damaged model was the guy under the hole we were picking that guy up for days (sad part was it was a cool conversion model using dark elves and empire bitz).

Brother build his own warboss from metal bits and loads of green stuff. Painted it and everything, he loved it.

A few days later he spills some coke on it. No biggie; a quick wash and it will be good as new. Gets a cup of water and gives it a quick dunk. As soon as it hit the water the super glue that was holding everything together fail and the whole model call to pieces. Everything single thing became unstuck. He never put it back together after that.

Probably the worst thing that has hyappened to me was flying bases and the annoying little stalks. My battlesuit one broke when a friend dropeed it. fixed it, broke, fixed it again, in the end I just remodelled him.

The second thing I did myself. I wanted an effective way of puting in and taking out my flying base for my devilfish. So i cut the top off and glued a small sewing thing which can screw into another, used for jewelry, of course the glue never worked and that was that ruined. In the end I had to drill out a hole and stick in a another flying stalk. Ever since my devilfish leanss slightly.

Neither of these even rates compared to some of these stories. Might help that I only have about 750 points.

Yeah I'm going to have to go with early paint jobs as the main wrecker of my armies too.

"You want me to prime my models and then thin my paints? Why on earth would I do that?"

Fortunately after a while i realised "Oh God that's why."

Also I've lost count of the amount of Bretonian lances that have snapped or weakened over the years.

"You want me to prime my models and then thin my paints? Why on earth would I do that?"

Whil i agree that bad painting skills do ruin an army I have to disagree with the thinned paint bit. Usually wiping it off the rim is enough for me to get a decent look(but my armies arnt gonna be GD winners lol)


back on topic though, worst thing?? Hmm lets see, probly my Dreadnought(Ironclad converted for CSM) picking a fight with my Daemon Prince during the match.

On the way home they decided to go at it again.... Dreadnought lost, his legs had came apart and some still stuck to the foot. Safe to say that i need to not leave them in unpadded boxs.

I didnt know leaving them in your car in the sun would hurt them. I had a meched out tau army sitting in an open topped box in my back set last summer on a very sunny hot day. Everything was warped and twisted to the point of it not being usable. Totally my fault

That's got to suck...
I imagine this sort of thing will happen with the new finecast minis a lot as well.

Well, this isn't quite as bad as some of the other ones here, but one time while I was setting up for a game I set my large Citadel case on a stool, because there was no more room left on the table we set aside for our cases, intending to move it once I had finished. Then, when I was halfway done setting up, one of my friends bumped into my case, spilling 85% of the models left in it. I still played, even though most of the models were broken, then spent a couple hours afterwards re-gluing them. The worst part, however, is that this same thing happened again a couple weeks later. I never learn

I once played a game on a weird A-frame type table. It was kinda unstable, but only if you put a gak ton of weight in one place. We were told to NOT lean on the table.

About an hour into the game, I forget and lean on the table, catapulting some poor guys orks across the room where they explode against the wall.

£300 later, I had made my apology.

S_P

Being the only army of minis the local high-pitched TFG cheers for.

My 24 year step brother spray painting 100+ orks that I just finshed painting. My step family thought it wasn't a big deal cause they were just toys to them. That was the last straw out of all the crap they pull on me. So I left.

Having some of them stolen.

Arghh I made a topic about this today after accidentally Blasting my newly painted BA captain with my airbrush. I should really have posted it in this 'topic-that-already-existed'...

I think the worst single incident to befall my miniatures was a few years ago. I had pretty much every miniature I owned out on the floor so I could count and organise them. All neatly lined up into squads and mobs etc...

Anyway I ran out of space so I decided to move the TV and the table it was on into another room. I unplugged the TV and lifted it off the table and started to carry it away. I'm really not sure what happened next as the first I knew of it was when the TV was very nearly ripped out of my hands by the cord, and out of the corner of my eye I see the table (quite a tall round, table with 3 legs) basically take flight, do a somersault and then land top facing down on my miniatures like a gigantic wooden blast template.

I just remember tuning cold when I saw what had happened. I had my scratch built 40k scale Squat Land Train in the middle. That thing was completely destroyed, but fortunately it was quite tall so it probably saved most of the stuff around it. A lot of other stuff got broken but most of it ended up being quite fixable in the end, I guess I was lucky in the sense that it could have been a lot worse.

I remember a friend of mine once had a tin of varnish spill in the back of a van when he was moving house which ended up leaking all over his plastic miniatures and turned them to goo.

I was working on a unit of Chaos Marauders once. For some reason, I got really, really upset at something, and threw one of my sneakers down our hallway. Beeline towards my painting desk. Where the sneaker promptly *BOUNCED* and took out the entire unit. Marauder bits *everywhere*. That was the last time I ever tried to start a WHFB Chaos army.

I left my army transport in the car for an extended amount of time warping all my sword and gun ends.

I was at a tournament run in a very small room. There was so little room between the rows of tables, you couldn't stand back to back with the guy behind you, you had to be adjacent. Well the guy playing on the table behind me was a rather large gentlemen, and he really didn't fit in such a space. I was playing imperial guard, and my trusty, beloved, ancient basalisk I have used for over a decade was deployed right at the board edge. As I finish deploying I turn to my right to see the large gentlemen bend over to reach something, and his posterior lands on, and envelopes my basalisk. It was like it happened in slow motion, I could only watch in horror as "bassie" was consumed by the dark moon. The guy clearly realized something was awry because he straightened back up. As he did so, my tank was sucked INTO the...canyon and snatched up off the table. It hung there, half out of this guys ass for a moment, before falling to the floor and breaking. There were no words to express my horror.

Wow, just wow. The amount of horror those poor guardsmen had to go through. I think it would be a lot like going through the eye of terror!

... eye of terror indeed....

Every single game I lose, my Techmarine gets his arm knocked off. It's kind of a running joke now. Someone asks me "how's your game going" and I reply "well, techmarine's still got his arm, so pretty good so far.

Mine is when an ex-girlfriend stole some of my deathworld veterans and ran them over with a lawn mower.But that was the way of the Psycho ex.It just made me mad because they were conversions from necromunda heavy weapons.I just thought they looked more apporiate with more portable HW than the old pulled behind a vehicle ones.At least i found a few parts and eventually got rid of the crazy lady.

Was basecoating an IP of IG, a chimera and 10 roughriders (riders, horses, and lances not glued). Beautiful day. Sprayed the roughriders first moved the box to a patio table. Started on the rest, HUGE gust of wind, I turn to the freshly painted dudes and watch them fly off the table in to my yard. Then I had to scrub dirt out of paint and re-spray.

One of my SM Dreads fell off a higher shelf and landed on about four Genestealers completely obliterating them. I was too busy laughing to really be that bothered.

Even in death, the alien will be vanquished etc etc

I beat the guy i was playing and so he 'accidently' pulled by inquistor apart, so i made him buy it off me and brougt another one. But no where near as bad as some of the ones on here :(
