You see an army on eBay listed as "pro painted."
You see a poster on a forum posting about his original race for the game and their accompanying rules.
Your expensive deathstar unit completely whiffs its attacks.
You realise that your best troops can't shoot for crap, and have spent their whole lives learning how to not be able to shoot by neglecting how to fight in close combat.
You realise that your great leader is really just an old man sitting in a hover chair with a big neon "Shoot Me!" sign duct taped to it and his blinkers accidentally left on, leading you to assume he's going to take the next right for the next 100 miles, when he turns left and gets killed by an autocannon.
You realise that half of the stuff your race invented has become collectively useless.
You realise that myriad shrubs, craters and fences around the area give the same protection as the lone admantium wall your army is hiding behind.
You realise that you're only as good at shooting as a bipedal chicken that eats anything.
You realise you're a Vespid.
You realise that the majority of your sinking feelings come from things to do with your main army.
When you drop a whole pod full of Tyranid Warriors in front of a leman Russ confident that the cannon will only get at worst a wound off each of them before the charge and then you remember Instant Death!
You know that Sinking Feeling when...
...Your Land Raider gets destroyed and your deathstar CC unit is in range of every weapon your oppnent has
...The enemies Land Raider full of Twin Wolf Claw Terminators and Logan gets in range and they charge your 50+ formation of guardsmen
...Tau beat you in CC ...Out of 120 las-rifle shots, only 18 hit, and only 7 wound
... a CD player DS a big blob of demons (forgot what they where called, i know they are Tzeench align) all armed with breath of chaos right in the middle of your IG platoon. . .
...when you remember that your opponent's combat squadded Tactical Marines have a plasma cannon, juuuuuuust as they're placing that template over your tightly packed Sisters of Battle, with no cover. A few moments later, you remember their other tactical squad ALSO has a plasma cannon.
15 were removed as casualties from those two shots, if you were curious.
...when you go to a section of a forum site trying to find threads that are pointless just to let everyone know that they're pointless when everyone in the thread already knows and are joining in the thread because sometimes its just fun to do something random with others from the hobby, especially when you are in an area with few people to share humour like this with.
...when you roll a double six on the Seer Council's Fortune test.
...when you roll a double one on just about any other roll.
...when you realise that most of your army was bought at the local GW store and that shipping from most independent UK retailers to your country is free.
You know that sinking feeling when you're putting down a table, feel some resistance, feel that resistance suddenly disappear as the table's legs slam noisily to the floor, accompanied by a sound that seems like plastic getting crunched?
Yeah, that's what happened tonight. The first words out of my mouth were, "What got crushed?" I was fortunate that all that had happened was a box of Nids had overturned, flipped by the table's leg coming down on a 5 dollar plastic crater underneath said box - but on top of another box. No damage... Thank the dice gods.
1) You think your 10 man tactical squat w/ a power fist in it is going to put a beat down on 8 mandrakes and take a game winning objective. Your opponent inflicts 5 wounds and you fail 4 saves plus the rest of the squad including the power fist wiff. The unit was wipped out the next turn
2) In a 2500 point game of Orks vs Dark Eldar on turn 2 your orky opponent rolls a die and tell you ok Boss Snikrott is comming in. Him and his 14 boys with 2 burnas arrive and manage to hit two large warrior squads with their burnas and assault them wipping out both. Suddenly the whole flank is rolled up.
I have to admit I actually did this one to my friend, the look on his face was so good I thought he was going to pass out.
Whenever I see a Stormraven across the board! I have yet to destroy one before it messes me up (See losses), its not even that I dont have firepower, my dark eldar apparently have some pity on fellow flyers...
mr.power, I was referring to my friend Knox, who will probably barge into this thread at any minute with an angry rant on how I cheated somehow with the stealthsuits during the game where he had over 3000 points of orks against my 1500 point tau army
pinoypower, I helped you write your army list when you were just starting out nids, so I know that you have 1594 points right now
You know that rising feeling when...
in apocalypse from reserve Fuegan and a 6man Fire dragon squad arrive, detach, the fire dragons kill 3 Leman Russes (squadron), Fuegan one shots a stormlord carrying Logan and 5 WG termies then assaults and kills Grimnar and 3 WG...
On turn 1

Ah, Knox, I see that you finally posted on my thread! The lack of cover made up for a good 1250 pts...
Hey, at least Skarsnisk still has a halberd and not just a sucky hand weapon and... and... yeah, not much else
Your best painted model just died to a primed chaplain.
You realize playing call of duty black ops is a lot like playing a power gamer.
You notice that there are three land raiders and you didn't bring a bright lance.
The newest codex comes out and all the people you play against are band wagon people.
You're out of green stuff
You're watching a 100 man ork squad move across the table and you are out of cigarettes
You get put behind a fat sweaty gamer during a tournament and its the last round after 6 hours of playing.
The police pull you over and you have to explain that you don't have drugs on you and those cases are actually filled with tiny plastic men used to play a table top war game that cost more than any other hobby and that you didn't even win the game you just played because the other player brought tau and you were expecting to play an actual army and not a made for japan, anime wanna be army.
You deepstrike your overpriced stormtroopers into perfect position less than 6 inches from the side of a land raider and with their BS of 4 you roll snake eyes or double deuce for your two meltas.
Your Lord Comissar, who is attached to your also overpriced and worthless ogryn squad, suffers three power weapon wounds before you can even strike back and you fail all invulnerable saves. Thus leaving your ogryns to fail their morale test. With their whopping initiative of 2, they get wiped out with sweeping advance.
...When you realize that you forgot to fire your last surviving hammerhead's railgun at the enemy's rampaging defiler, just as it rams your hammerhead from the rear
When the opponenent, decides to make a debate about every rule in your codex and then checks it with the store mangager and then grabs you codex to find it. Then, when its true he will start going on about how you fired to much or how overpowered your army is, despite playing chaos.
...the Eldar player starts casting psychic powers.
...you get a look at a friends new Chaos Daemons Codex.
...the assault army seizes the initiative from you gunline Guard.
and my favorite...
...Eldrad just survived being shot by your WHOLE Guard army.
When you declare a waaagh and every boyz squad decides to roll a 1.(seriously I have had this happen twice in one night and it actually cost me both games)
Its a sad day when one's model is broken in a horrific way like ripped apart by a baby.
when your models beak due to the fact you just put them in a cardboard box.
When one SM segeant is left to kill 1 Chaos Terminator squad, a Slaanesh Daemon prince and a Chaos Terminator Lord in close combat (this actually happened today :(
When big bad Belial loses his lost wound to a 1A Initiate with power fist, despite the 3+inv after fluffing his attacks against said Initiate, causing you to draw the game instead of winning.

My best friend says he's changing his colour scheme...AGAIN. (His username is InquisitorVaron, by the way. He needs an Ork colour scheme!)
My Hive Tyrant gets killed by slugga fire.
I open White Dwarf and there's not a jot of Tyranid content.
I look on a bitz website and find all the parts...except the ones I'm looking for.
I see people comparing Tau to anime, and generally being stupid. (Tau FTW!)
I see people whining about the new Codex because Mat Ward wrote it, despite them not actually considered properly the advantages and disadvantages of the army. Grey Knights are an example-they're so expensive (points wise) that in small games they get absolutely kneespanked.
I see the NSFW banner...
I hear yet another thread complaining about GW's latest release.
my brother announces wich 5 farseer spells hes gonna cast on my poor orks this turn
i tell my opponent that ill kill his stupid elte guys on anything but a one, and i have 7 dice to roll....
and 5 of them are ones (happened only once though)

Clearly, superior to the new Nids.
They are pretty cool (again, except daemon) if somewhat cartoony.
I remember those, however they contradict themselves in that according to the dwarf rulebook Bugmans rangers are armed with throwing axes, I prefer the models as a better judge of what they are armed with rather than the book, especially with the organ gun that can't take runes on it yet a picture shows the top of a organ gun and it says "dwarf artillery is often inscribed with powerful runes".

2 things... 1st, was the cat shot lol, 2nd, when you deep strike your lesser deamons, roll on the mishap table and your opponent places them between 10 termis a dreadnaught and a lr

- You ring to book your spot in a tourney, turn up on the day and you realise the guy you spoke to on the phone lied and you are the only girl playing in the tourney
-You play in your said tourney, knowing every guy whos not married is watching you.. PRESSURE!
-Your idiot opponent for round 2 in said tourney blabs through lunch about how hes going to own you and you are going down...
(Then you pull out chaos daemons and proceed to make the 40 year old fat basterd cry... i <3 it)
-You deep strike your first half of the army and it dies... Taking your heavys with it :( FFFFFUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!
-You bring your army out at a tourney and realise its rainbow and everyone else got a memo about black painted armies being cool this decade...
-You play another chaos daemons player... Who wants to win no matter what....
- You deep strike and roll onto the mishap table where your opponent can place the model anywhere, and he picks somewhere dickish.
-You deep strike ALL of your army by the 2nd turn
-You play a guy whos been playing since the 2nd ed and you realise you been playing for 6 months...
- You come home from work, after staying up till 2-3am putting water-effects on your lava bases which have been carefully placed up high on a table or such, only to realise THE F%$KING CAT STEPPED IN IT AND NOW ITS EVERYWHERE!!!!
or worse.. has a stupid furry print in it...

Gotta be honest I would stare if I saw a female at a tourny in the same way I would stare at a bear playing 40k at a tournament, Its just not something you see everyday. On the plus side if the presence of female wargamers encourages proper hygiene and grooming this can only be a good thing.
My first reaction would not be to stare (or at least try to). It would be more along the lines of "hey cool, there is a female here".
Also...I take umbrage at that :(
I follow proper hygiene and grooming! Take a shower everyday. I do not really was my hair though (it is too thick to do it, as the shampoo can not get anywhere near my scalp ). So I just rinse it. Works just fine, and my hair does not annoy the crap out of me.
I agree I shower once a day as well, as for washing the hair it's actually healthier for your hair not to shampoo it every time but i do rinse my hair and beard at the very least. As for a girl playing thats great especially at a tournament level. My wife is workin to get to that point that she can play at tournaments herself actually.

when half your army is blown to pieces in less then 3 turns.
Hey, Hey, Hey! Hey apple, hey! Get more mc! Maybe then you'll be able to hurt my tanks!
I would do that but I am trying to not buy warhammer to beat you. I will do the most dangurous thing ever done. I will learn how to play warhammer.
The joke is completely on you, because I just found out that we have been doing vehicle assaults and tankshocks incorrectly! Turns out I'm the noob, too! That, and it turns out that my FW have a better chance in combat than I thought, because we've been using assaults incorrectly!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. wait does that benifit me or you?
Neither, really. It would benefit me with close quarters (i.e: my FWs are an even match to termagaunts in cqb). However, my tanks aren't as invulnerable to mc assaults as we thought.
You know that sinking feeling when...
Your online friends on a warhammer forum tell you to invite your so called real girlfriends to game with you.. And you realise you have none

Its not easy being a Girl Geek, but, hey, Bet you know more guys than some women you know.

Your geek housemates look down on you because you would rather paint your little soldiers than play WoW.

Its not so bad. Just being a non-drinker makes your IRL friends list mighty mighty small... But what can you expect when you are a crazy cat lady...
Tried that when I was late for Math class... they weren't amused.
When you lend your phone to a really hot girl for a long distance call to Singapore when in truth you are 2 miles from it ... and realize you still have your Grimgore Ironhide screen saver.

I know that feeling well XD
This one doesn't belong on the 40k board but....
That sinking feeling you get when you turn up to the "mass participation" assault on the vampire coast and......
You are the only one assaulting the vampire coast.
Vampires, are scary.

Stormraven across the board! I have yet to destroy one before it messes me up (See losses), its not even that I dont have firepower, my dark eldar apparently have some pity on fellow flyers...
