Meanwhile, your trash can is full of Starbucks and/or other various types of empty coffee cups and your car is littered with fast food wrappers. You notice people at the FLGS begin to give you a halo of room when playing (it's NOT out of respect). You find you can Propaint a squad from your favorite army in just a couple of hours from cutting the sprue to highlights and shading. Your piles of undone laundry have four phases: Still clean, pretty clean, getting rancid and still wearable. The tissue boxes you've adopted for slippers keep wearing out and finally, your mother calls because she hasn't heard from you in a while and your first thought is, "Heresy!"
You get weird looks at the airport when you try to explain you have tanks in your carry-on.
You almost miss your flight, because you are teaching the Homeland Secrurity guys how to play 40K...true story, thay had to drive me to my gate using the golf cart.
You drive to Baltimore once a year just to hang out with fellow gamers. See you at GD.

Your new goal in life is to get one of each Imp Guard model ever made...only ten more to go!
Good job, but new gaurd are comeing out (jk)

You paint your final model, then realize you still have unopened boxes in the next room....the horrors!
Your wargame club bans you for three months, and you're the president. How does that happen??? Oh yeah, I stomped on someones cheeze marine...sorry?...not really.

Guilty! I once bought a $16 piece of styrofoam from my boss. Actually, it got seafood shipped to us in it, but the delivery guy is supposed to take it back with him and if it gets damaged or lost whoever is responsible has to pay to replace it. It was totally worth it.

After swearing off marines for the last 10 years, you find an old model in a half-off bin, and suddenly you are starting a new (old) army. "Curse you Veteran Sgt Naaman!" Now my Ultramarines and Dark Angels have been brought down from the attic.
When your taking wood tech one (next year) so that when you get to make that end table you can paint/stamp/burn an imperial eagle into it. You also paint it blue. damn you Ultramarines Omnibus!
Hi Everone. My name is Golden Eyed Scout, and I recently had a relapse. After keeping off Dakka for almost 5 hours.... I used again. I'm so ashamed! Don't look at me! I let you all down!
Hello, my name is Crazy_Carnifex, and I play to much 40k. I am trying to cut down and... what?... did you just say "the store got in a Stompa?"... er... hold that thought.

At least it wasn't a Titan. Cause then you might O.D! LOL!~
When you have made a battleboard of the entire battle of terra of at least 5x5 meters in size, including horus's space ship. Along with at least 15000 models both sides including tanks, titans, giant drills, explosions and everything fluffy wise. Screenshot or it hasn't happened ;p
When you call xbox a corrupted warhound titan.
When you name your dogs Creed and Kell.
When you say "The Emperor Protects" when you hang up the phone.
When you mourn the loss of TSOALR by buying a tombstone for it.
When you praise the machine spirits for allowing your xbox 360 to work.
When you curse, then apologize to the machine spirits for your 360 breaking.

When you're driving and you think "tank shock" when you see pedestrians.
When you don't don't tank shock said pedestrians becaue they may have meltas.
When you finish your prayers at church with "The Emperor Protects".
Apparantly this H.B.M.C character is quite popular and most everyone knows him. I wonder what the initials stand for?
I have the names written on the bottoms of the bases and get their wives and such mixed up so they don't like me too much, they think I'm impersonal or something like that. I do know all of my tanks and armor though.

When you know that Starcraft is actually an aborted attempt at an early 40k game, so Starcraft actually is a rip-off of 40k
When you live in a cardboard box on skid row, your roomates a (insert drug here) addict, but your army is the largest, best painted in the province/state, and you don't think you need to re-evaluate your priorities.
When you are hit by a car (failing your save), your biggest worry is that you might miss the tournament this weekend.
You have hopes of designing a paintball scenario game basing itself in the 40K universe, but never get around to it because you spend too much time at the FLGS with your team playing the actual game.
you no longer play basic 40K, you have moved on and only play Apocolypse battles. Too many models to choose from, I choose them all.
your wife has to tell your friends to leave, it's three AM and she has to be at work in three hours....you continue to play....then like a true sister of battle, she attacks!!!!!
you have 1/3 of your house just for miniature storage.
738: When you've considered hacking your arm off to replace it with a cooler augmetic one.
739: When you've approached your friend's mother to inquire as to where she keeps her saw to perform above operation.
740: When you've had to fight your friend's mother for control of the hacksaw to perform aforementioned operation.
741: When you've abandoned the idea of the augmetic arm, and seek to inter yourself in a Dreadnought instead.
742: When you attach car battery wires to your head and have your friends weld you inside of a metal box for future use in a dreadnought.
743. When you have to have the Fire Department use the jaws of life to get you out of aforementioned box.
744: When you attempt to construct a suit of power armor in a last ditch effort for awesomeness.
745: When you accidentally chop off your arm cutting the plate steel for the armor, and get the augmetic attachment you wanted all along (although not as cool as you originally anticipated.)
During airsofting charging bases you yell at the top of your lungs WAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHH or BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE without realising and getting strange looks from other players
Grunt-For-Christ, I can dig that out for you if you want, got the old RPG sitting on the shelf for Aliens
I bought the wife Sisters of Battle Repentia for valentines day as "Nothing says I love you like a pack of screaming psychopaths"..... She was extremely happy with them!

You constantly read a 10 year old codex cover to cover in hopes that there is a tiny nugget of information that might help you in your upcoming battle.
You have successfully installed an mp3 player into a landraider/rhino/ or other large transport in order to better pass the time during your opponent's turn. (Very helpful in 3,000+ pt. games)
You can't park in your 2 car garage because the space is filled with several large gaming tables.
If you fielded all of the armies that YOU own the battle would last for days.
AND you still can spend hours wandering the FLGS looking for something new to get.
You have the roll to hit and wound tables tatooed on you arms.
You realize that in the last three weeks you have bought, built, and 75% painted a complete company of SM. Where did the time go?
Your wife got the credit card bill before you could snag it...Oh boy...I'm gonna get it! (If I don't post sometime in the next week, call the cops...lol)
When you look at the U.S's debt clock, and you plan how many models you could get if you had that much money (10 000+ DKoK, with full support, all from forgeworld, with a Titan Legion)
If you look at the national debt clock and wish Kharn would invade so we could ramp up our military-industrial complex like we did in WWII, invent the first REAL bolter, Predator, and Heavy bolter, turn the debt clock around, and finally begin the Imperium of Man!!!!

after 20 years of game play you decide today is the last day of purchasing models.

There is a new release of Guard models due out next month? CRAP! maybe next year.....(to be continued)
You tell your son (age 7)he can play with your "soldiers" when he gets straight A's. After getting straight A's you ground him, so he can't get his grubby paws on your precious "toys" (he has his own army).

I think if you do that you probably have more serious problems.
When you buy three tau manta's (vauled at 875 GBP a box) and field them somehow.
This model comes with 4 tanks, 52 fire warriors, 1 etheral, 6-12 suits and a ton of guns strapped onto it (16 long burst cannons, 2 heavy railguns and 6 ion cannons i think).
You respond to the daily stories of misfortune told to you during classes and work with "Just remember, when life gives you lemons, blood for the blood god." Alternatively, you calmly recite the first half of the aphorism, and then scream "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!" and charge away.

No, that's when you know you have way too much disposable income and need to leave your parent's basement and get a wife
You finally realize that warhammer 40k is NOT a game, it is a psychic's foretelling of the future and that the Horus heresy is nearing and start building an underground rebel base.
When you read the Fluff short stories to your children as bedtime stories.
When you change the fluff in the "bed time stories" so that chaos is good and the imperium is bad.

You would be surprised how common this is, go take a look at the B&C forums for Khorne and you'll find a bunch of players who do something similar.

There's nothing wrong with multitasking the toenail clippers.
