While playing in a tourney today sombody threw an exacto knife and everyone ducked but me, got me in the right shoulder. Needles to say 4 hours later i got the bleeding to stop and won best painted Rhino award and passed out twice from pain as everyone who showed up late patted my back and wanted know if i was ok. (Funny thing though they were all BA Players?)

I gotta call BS on this. Just no way does this sound like it would happen.

Throne, men, I never saw such ammounts of bad luck.

And you, Sabatine, get rid of your minis and anything that has a sharp edge, you'll kill yourself in a couple days at this rate D:

Are you nuts?! i love the challenge they're out to get us all one by one they've already got my brother now they're after me but my superior size and ability to move is my advantage LOL!

But there's no honour in jumping onto an almost sure death without a chance of dragging others with you.

years ago when I was in the Army, I woke up in the middle of the night used the bathroom, put on some chap stick and went back to bed. Woke up and tried to have a smoke, and realized that I had superglued my lips together.

do i dare ask how this happened?

I have a habbit of playing with things on the floor of my room. now my mum got me three medical scalples to work with instead of a hobby knife so I dropped one on the floor and rather than pick it up I just took one of the otheres from my tray and carried on. so later I found something that felt quite nice, flipped it over and ran my toe along it felt quite nice until i hit the blade and started feeling the blood run down my toe. I had to hop to the bathroom while not getting any blood on the carpets.

Sorry, no stories from me. I'm too careful/meticulous.

Mother-eff, you must've had a hard time getting to the hospital.... *dials 000/911 or whatever.... "Yes?" "Mmmmm!! mmmmrmrm!"*

I suffered severe brain damage from reading Codex: Blood Angels. Whither it was from the book itself or me pounding my head into my desk afterwords I cannot tell.

@Luke_Prowler its probably from reading

Yeeesh, so many accidents with plyers and knives. The worst I've ever done was when my first bottle of modeling glue spilt all over my index finger, I then proceded to flip out and move my hand away only to knock over the "quicker drying" spray which got the liquid on the mess leaving me with a burning cast of glue on my finger for ten minutes as I tried to scratch it off into the sink . Besides that my little brother got the spray in his eye and it left it irritated for a few minutes.

Sounds almost cartoon-ish, with that chain reaction.

Not an injury, except to my friend's pride -

I was at his house, and we were painting. This is at about 11am. When we had finished a boxed set of Lord of the Rings Orcs, we searched for a place to dry. He decided on the place outside where his brother usually parked his car. His brother was in Sydney for the day, and would get back late that night. My friend said, "We'll go inside, watch the Matrix trilogy, then come back and get them before my brother gets home. I replied with these fateful words - "What's the bet we forget them?"

24 hours later, his brother had arrived and left again, and, when we walked outside to play soccer, he wound up with a snapped spear in his big toe, and we found pieces of orc all over the place. We only salvaged 11 in good condition.

BAHAHAHA. Thank you for linking that. I will sound evil but I couldn't stop laughing while reading this.

I feel all injuries come in a chain reaction, you just cant have 1...

I'm not even sure what I was cutting, but about a month ago I sliced my finger (middle finger?) from the first joint all the way to the front of the tip. About 1" long and probably 1/4" deep. Thank the Emperor it was a brand new blade so I didn't feel a thing. Went to the sink, rinsed it out with Hydrogen Peroxide, pushed the flap of skin back down and then stuck on a pair of big band aids. Switched to liquid bandage after it stopped bleeding like a faucet and now have a nice scar that hurts when I grip things the wrong way. The funniest part was that all my life I've been certain I was left handed. But with my right hand basically out of commission life was ridiculously more difficult than I'd ever anticipated.

Lesson learned. No more cutting with Exacto when the Dremel and a clamp are probably a better choice.

At the beginning of this summer I was using a needle file on a model and subsequently set it down in my lap for another tool. Forgot about it when I got up and it bounced to the floor as I was stepping away from my desk. Somehow I managed to step on its point with the ball of my bare foot, tripping me. It happened so suddenly I didn't realize the extent of the damage. I found what had tripped me; the now broken file. Hobbled to work the next morning only to find the pain increase. Could it be there was a piece of file in my foot? There was no blood but it started to throb like mad. So after getting home I placed a powerful magnet against the sole of my foot...sure enough, it stuck!

So a trip to the emergency room later the doctor on hand had great difficulty extracting a 1/2" tip that was lodged 2cm deep in my foot. I'm still limping 2 1/2 months later. The joys of modeling!

Was putting some Landspeeders together a couple of months ago, and after assembling the flying base I must have knocked it off my desk. Not noticing it, I left the room and when I came back in (barefoot of course), I managed to step down on it and drive the stick through my heel about 3/4 of an inch. Suffice it to say I was not happy, not only did it hurt like hell, and leave a hole in my heel, but I broke another flying base. I do have to thank evolution for that thick padding on the human heel, it didn't penetrate deep enough to do any major damage, and bled very little.

freaking got cold while I was gluing so I went and stood by the heater and stood on the open metal grate and sliced my heal in half. Quite painful to walk on for a while, not to mention I found out just today that I dropped my glue and glued my chair to the floor with one leg. Lame!

Oi, the last ones make me gratefull to only taking my boots off when going to bed or the shower :\

That, and lately every deity seems to be watching me, since I've avoided a couple of potential nasty accidents.

Remember the old 2nd edition starter box gretchin with the kaizer helmets? knelt on some of them while playing a game on the floor, needless to say if I needed a large number of similar helmet spikes in a hurry I could have used my knee as a press-mold for about 3 days!

I did the exact same thing lol

Apart from that, ive super-glued my fingers together, to minis, and to tables. getting the fumes in my eyes is always popular too, do that one about once a week or so.

i was attempting to saw off the head from one mini to use in a conversion once, and the knife slipped. it cleanly sliced off the tip of my fore-finger. not a serious injury but it scared the crap outta me when it happened.
