Off Topic Thread 2: The Pedo Bear Returns...

*Grabs Emperors Faithfuls models without asking and promptly "accidently" drops one on the floor letting it break in an effort to get another related post up quick*

Now it's only a matter of time, heh, heh, heh...

Take it to the pms ladies...

GET BACK ON TOPIC.

(could say I went off the rails MGS, couldn't resist the pun )

Just wondered, has anyone had an instance where someone has picked up your models and "tested the strength of the glue?" ie wiggling the limbs to see how strong the model is

Same friend did that once and broke the tab on my Tau Hammerhead engine, very irritating but thankfully glueable once i found where the tab had fallen

Ive seen people purposely try to break models to check that.

Once I saw soemone "testing" a glue bond on a one peice model I think it was the farseer from the seer council box. Safe to say the models owner walked home with a seer council box as the tester had broken the sword or something off.

Ah, Mr. JohnHwangDD, why don't you have a seat. Just sit down right over there.

So, you wrote here to a Battlesistah69, these are you're words sir: "I'm going to cover you in Tallarn Flesh and wet blend Elf Flesh on top."

Would you care to explain yourself?

I started this thread by talking about a 35 year old that broke one of my models.... and 95% of the stories have been about obnoxious kids.

Which goes to show you that you have to be a very socially slowed 35 year old to pick up and break someone else's stuff!

an annoying little kid knocked my forgeworld venerable dreadnought off the table during a tournament... broke into 4 pieces... fortunately it was fixable, but I was still pretty mad. I ended up chucking genestealers at him whenever my ddreadnought's shattered remains killed one.

A couple years back, I had some family visiting from Williams Lake. Their kids were about 10 and 12 or 11 and 13 at the time... Don't completely remember. Anyway, they brought a friend with them each. They found my Black Templars army while I was at my University course I guess, and I came back in the afternoon to to four giggling kids and a floor covered in busted off marine pieces. I started screaming at them, told them to gather together everything they broke, separate them by limb and (in the case of the arms) left and right sides and put them into boxes. I then warned them that if they ever touched anything again, I'd superglue their eyelids and nostrils shut, and they'd have to get them surgically cut apart at the hospital.

They ran upstairs bawling and their mother told me I had no right to discipline her kids. I told her that she shouldn't even have kids if she isn't going to parent them herself, and that I wouldn't have had to discipline them if she would've been a responsible adult and made a point to know what her kids are up to, especially as guests in someone else's house.

Next year, they came to visit and brought 10 yammering little teenage girls that they brought from their stupid bible school or whatever it is. I made the point of not touching my models very clear as soon as they went downstairs. I never noticed even one mini moved from it's spot. Though they did stay up until 2 am on a wednesday night and yapped and giggled and screamed until I went and bellowed at them to shut the up.

Yea. I'm not a pleasant person when you do things that annoy me

I had a bad experience at one of the shops I play at. Nowhere near as seperting a model to its component pieces, but it was annoying all the same.

Some guy (dont care to remember his name) started playing with my commanders (which I spent the most time modding and painting) and picked one up by his cape which, have a metal body and plastic cape, come off quite a bit easier than I had hoped.

He said sorry and as I tried to get it bck togther again he started digging through my bitz box (I carry that everywhere) looking for Ork stuff.
I said "Dude!" and he said "just lookin" and I said "then ASK m%##@*%er f$%^er!"

He tends to steer clear of me now adays.

Its a simple thing, really, to utter the words "May I?" and point to something. Just grabbing is a good way to get a hand put into a blender.

Cheers

These stories make me sad and what to hurt people. :(

I never touch other peoples models, I don't even ask. I'll only ever handle another persons model if they explicitly ask me to do so or hand it to me in an offering to look at it closer.

I do handle other peoples models, carefully, but always ask first. If the answer is no fair enough, but 19/20 are ok with it and I thank them afterwards.

I find to look at something like a miniature properly I need to pick it up.

I wonder how many people lost a GD thanks to idiots breaking things?

A loooooongggg time ago, my girlfriends sister & her vermin showed up at my house for a BBQ. Rain hit and everyone ended up inside. Long story short, her heathens decided that my gaming table was going to be thier personal destruction area and proceeded to DESTROY close to $500 worth of painted, converted and award winning minis. When I discovered the destruction, I very calmly put everything that was broken into a large box and presented it to her sister, at which point I was informed that she would be happy to repay me for the damage. When I hit her a couple of days later with an itemized list (which came to a bit over $500 just for the minis with shipping & then tagged in my normal rates for painting = $1000+), I thought she was going to swallow her teeth. She paid up, under threats of legal action, and NEVER brought her hellspawned children near my house again! Kind of a harsh lesson in 'keep your hands to yourself'.

Strangely, my models have escaped serious damage, though it's not from a lack of trying on the little vermin's behalf. A simple "Hands off!" usually suffices, though for Apoc games where I have to get my models together on a side table before deployment (where I can't keep an eye on them all the time), I've also employed small signs to that effect.

Amusingly, you're wrong.

this happenede to a friend of mine a few years back.

A group of us were playing a game at a Friends house, my friend doesnt have a carrying case jsut sort of a cut down paper box filled with chunks of foam and other soft materials. Anyway after a few turns we all smell somthing quite bad we start snifing around and find out its coming from my buddys carry box. we close it up and the smell goes away figuring it was the paint on his models reacting with the foam (he uses oil paints and had just painted a few models before he left) so we ontinue with our game. About 2 hours later we start packing our stuff to start headng home. when we hear Awww YOUR CAT SH** IN MY CARRY BOX AND ITS ALL OVER MY STUFF.

goes to show that not all model molesters are human.

I LOL'D

I have an 8 year old daughter, who has helped me paint/dip Tyranids.. she is very proud of her assistance, and when she brings friends over, she likes to show em off.

She takes very good care to hold the models by the base, makes sure her friends do the same, and carefully returns them to the case. She tells em "Dad's Bugs are for looking, not playing!"

I suspect having taken part in creating the army, she is invested in keeping them intact and clean.

To this end, she has "hand me down" models of her own that she is allowed to play with, and someday I hope she might try to play..

I am thinking a "bag of green-army men" IG to start with..

TotalThreadWIN!

My wife has a strict "break his models and I kick you in the balls" policy. Luckily she hasn't had to enforce/capitalize on it very much. (my wife is MEAN!)

While reading this thread last night I was laughing pretty hard but was in awe. I just couldnt stop thinking how lucky I am that I have never had to deal with these kinds of kids first hand (have I seen them in action against other peoples stuff? yes) Then today I my local GW. While in the middle of a battle someone comes up, puts his hand under the table and into one of my boxes and pulls out my FW chaos dragon tale without asking. Then procedes to swing it around like its some movie and hes about to pwn 30 marines with a tale swipe... The worste part was this kid wasnt like 5 or 8 or something, he was like 13 or 14, he should no better then that. Lets just say I wasnt happy, and only had time to send him a glare and say "the hell you doing" before he put it back and went to the other side of the table.

I am very lucky that this hasn't happened to me. Had a close call one night though, we were playing on the table in front of the door and a couple walks in with a young kid, who immediately runs over to the table and starts crawling around underneath it, where we're keeping our open bags of models.

There was one time though, where I was admiring a Chaos terminator lord someone was painting, with a lava base and everything. It was just sitting on a box on the counter, but for some stupid reason I just reached out and grabbed it and started turning it over to look at his progress. When I realized what I did I looked up like "Oh gak", put it back, and looked around as if nothing had happened.

I almost dropped one of my rhinos 12ft 2 days ago.

How could you not!?!

Personal story, when i saw the master of raven wing i knew i had to get it, well after about 4 hours of buying/pinning and getting it together all at the painting area of the games workshop shop after finally getting the model done up i thought that was enough as i was heading back to the train station (at this time i had a very bad home made carry case). so i packed everything up and i thought "Hey, i should be extra careful about this, so ill just cover it and hold it in my hands," WORST IDEA EVER. so i covered it up with a tissue so it had some protection and walked outside the shop and went up the elevator. While admiring the awesome sculpt in my little world there was a jolt and all the sudden BUMP some lady was in a hurry and knocked me on the arm. i died a little that day. i have only the jetbike and his sword left that i could find, some fell off the elevator down and the small pieces disappeared - funny enough, i stopped playing DA's that day, bad omen? or the idiot who thought of the idea.

Worst that has happened to me, was when i had just finished painting a dreadnaught for my CSM, my mates had come around for a game or two that date, one of em picked it up off the dead pile on the board and proceeded to look at it, all no dramas.

Unit someone spoke to him as he put it back on the table whereby he got it only half on the table and well lets say even in the 41st millenium concrete beats dreadnaught.

Thankfully it was fixable with a few bitz from the bitz box, and it managed to turn up alright again.

But after reading the thread it seems i am fairly lucky to have escaped some serious damage, although i rarely play at a gaming store and even then its during the middle of the week so i avoid those nasty school kids.

ouchy

on topic- while I haven't had it happen to e, a friend of mine converted a defiler and made al the legs and arms from metal. Someone bumped the end of the table, which made the defiler fall off the sloped bit of terrain it was on and right onto the floor. We didn't find one of the legs strangely enough.

...err...nothing, I said what happened. The model was sitting there by itself, I grabbed it to admire it up close without realizing it, then panicked and put it back again, lol.
