It was more or less "29 Signs You're a Warhammer Player:
1. You play Warhammer
2. You play Warhammer
3. You play Warhammer
4. You play...."

Points 1 and 2 were pretty funny, but the rest were pointless. Not relatable or clever.

The title led me to believe this was going to be everyone putting in their own 'signs you play warhammer'.

I think we can do better, so c'mon Dakkanauts! let's have a go:

Signs you're a Warhammer Player:
1. Your buddies call round and invite you out to 'paint the town red', the first thought that crosses your mind is 'damn, red always takes ages to build up a good solid basecoat and shading is going to be a nightmare...'

I am a Chaos player! Although not a girl, even though the "Chaos player" seems to actually be playing Necrons.

3. You find yourself using terms such as "twin-linked" when your sister is playing a shooter and you're pointing out a double-barreled turret.

EDIT: 3a. And referring to all flamethrowers as "flamers".

Welp, that's a couple minutes of my life I'd like back. That article sucked-here's a sign you're a warhammer player: you play warhammer. Dumb article that must have been written by an 8 yr old. Anyone older should be ashamed that they wrote it.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

I hate Buzzfeed.

“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.”

Oh Emprah this is what my life has become. I measure everything in how many boxes of Ork boyz I can purchase with the money.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also #1 and #2 was relatable but the majority of the list was mindless rambling and stereotyping.
