then years later you post on a forum about how you once wrote a wh40k short story for school...
You use "space wolf" as your call sign over the radio!
This actually happened. My partner (I'm an EMT) saw me reading the "space wolf omnibus" and he asked about it. I let him look at it and he read the summary and before you know it we were using "space wolf" as our call sign when dispatch called our unit. They thought we were nuts.

Not as large as one would think, but it does hava a limited selection of Forgeworld models on hand. If I recall there is a dozen 4x4 tables. It has been a while since I have been there, so don't hold me to that. I would say it is twice as big as a normal GW store.
vI don't have them, but thats the maximum fieldable within the FOC. Unless you have grot orderlies and oilers...hmm...grot riggers...damn you can field alot of grot.

When you plan on naming every model in your Apoc-sized SM Army, and have every intentionof doing the same for your Guard army when it reaches said proportions.
You determine that your vehicle has an armor value of 10.
You are then bummed out at such a low armor value because you know that your chances of ramming and surviving are slim to none.

If you think you will get all that done to a good standard, and be left twidling your thumbs for the last couple weeks.
If you have 20 Imperial Guard armies ready to be dusted off...and if that doesn't work a full Dark Angels Chapter, and a company of Ultramarines....if they all die then the Inquisition will Nuke the planet.

hi man nice to see some germans in this forum...Wie ist denn das Wetter so in Deutschland???
From various older posts, it can be assumed that Ensis Ferrae is not german, but an american soldier stationed in germany. But I may be wrong.
yup that i am, my wife and i just got stationed here... and sadly, Emperors_renegade, the wife thinks its too hot here (but who can blame her?? she's pregnant and due in august)
i just figured it was easier to keep my location updated, and since the flag thing will automatically change to where i am in the world, its easier to show that im here in germany (ohh and BTW... for those who have not come over here, the beer and bratwurst alone make it worthwhile)
You are sooooo into Space Marinez (Hurr) you ACTUALLY THINK Flared Pants will come back into style/fashion, so hide them in your closet for "That wonderful day"....

Instead of visions of sugerplums, you have visions of land raiders. Instead of chestnuts rusting on an open fire, you throw another heretic on the pyre to keep warm.
You think to yourself, "I might decorate my Christmas Tree with Imperial Guard models, and tanks, and have Celestine the Living Saint as the tree topper." Things that make you say...hhmm.

When people are playing cowboys and indians, you pick up an "imaginary" assault cannon and declare yourself a winner. You then say that demons from the warp have infested their bodies and that the inquisition has them ordered to be purged the next day.

Not to mention over 50 Tank variants. Don't forget the Squat Army. And to answer the question....YOU CAN NEVER PLAY TOO MUCH 40K!!!!!!!
This just happened to me the other day, but I saw a convertable drive by and I thought... "hmmm.. I get a +1 because the vehicle is open topped...." lol
Ya might play too much 40k when you consider the logistics of actually launching troops down from orbit and begin writing a sales pitch to your commander about how he needs to take it up the chain and get it approved.
You stare at short people like their a lost race. Shout YOU HAVE FEHLED THE EMPRAH when someone on your team fails to score an easy goal in footie (I'm guilty of this )

This actually happened to me. I was still fresh to the hobby, and I didn't even know this guy in the slightest (the match wasn't done by GW or anything), but mid-game he screams "FOR THE EMPEROR!!" and then proceeds to charge along the fence trying to reach the flag. Needless to say, he got absolutely pelted. I guess the Emperor protects...unless you're an idiot.
That's pretty funny.Same thing happened to my pal.We were at a company picnic and we started playing football and as soon as I thow to him he yells "The Emperor will protect!" Five seconds later he's got a twisted ankle.Ironic isn't it?
When your running crosscountry, and scream "FOR THE GREATER GOOD!" as you pass someone. Then that person trips you screaming "Xenoscum." (guilty for first half)
When you jump from 6th to first by screaming "WAAAGH" for 10 seconds. you paint your face red hoping it would make you go faster. Worse, is when you break your personal record after. When you choose to stop in the middle of the race because you were no longer in coherency with your teamates.
When you call anyone in a blue uniform a "Smerf". when you just barely lose and scream "CREEEEEEEED!"
When you want evil aliens to invade just so you can say "die xeno scum!".
When you want to become part of an empire just so you can say "for the emperor!".
You know when you play too much 40K when you suddenly post on a 39 page thread without having read it first. Oh, wait, that is just a sign I am on the internet.

Gorechild wrote:When you cant watch episode 1 of star wars any more because you cant help but think the battle between the gungans and federation as being tau vs kroot. Then afterwards, spending the rest of the film thinking.."how could that be for the greater good?!"
Wait, I just re watched that battle and I saw a few things wrong, like sence when did the tau have bipedal drones? And let them pilot hammerheads? And what was with the funky-looking manta? I thought that It was official 40K cannon that AI bipedality hasn't existed from the time of the metal men. Even servitors have to have their inner ear intact for this, dont they? Why no canniblisim with the kroot? Just because they are metal doesn't mean th... wait, this is star wars, right?
The one that I am massively guilty of, other than conversions permiating my mind and a halloween costume possibility (duct tape cadian?) Is the induction of "warp" into my vocabulary. "Dissapeared" is now "lost in the warp" and even occasionally the word hell gets swapped out at random times when I least expect it. I almost never catch myself and garner a few funny looks.

You could watch Star Wars Episode I before you thought of that? I thought that was one of those movies so bad that if you watched the whole thing you had to claw your eyes out.
It's actually a very well done movie. Just because you have digital soldeirs that look so life-like that you can't tell them from the real actors doesn't mean it is going to be a good movie.
