Yes.

Seriously funny for me. My Kroot with their 6+ save totally ravaged a batch of Marines one game. I was makign about half my saves, other guy didn't make one.


That sinking feeling when you're about to see a grown marine player cry.


When you've just gotten all soapy in the shower and you hear the toilet flush

What monster would do such a thing?!

a troll.
I know, I should be a comedian.

...When you have to model...

...When you have to paint...

when you roll the dice and they take out youre carfully balanced old style metal greatsword regiment of 30 models...urgh, took ages to stand it all back up!

...When you have 3 days to get presents for about 8 people.

I find modeling soothing, as long as its not resin of metal.
I also feel the same about painting my Tau.

After misreading your codex and needing to re-write your entire army list.

Modelling is really annoying and fidgety for me, and glue gets everywhere, and I constantly have to check instructions, and gluing arms on is the biggest pain since they both need to hold the gun AND touch the torso...

And painting can be relaxing, except when you are trying to do your absolute best and are squinting at the model and making the smallest marks and also mess up and have to go over things and just ughhh

When you have something you need to put into your list, and nothing redundant that can be taken out

I do have to admit I hate modeling for friends who are too lazy to do it themselves.

Yes.

Is the only way to learn physics.




When you used to dread painting an army due to the amount of unpainted models left, yet have only a couple left to paint and now wish there were more left.
When you have to put together an Exorcist...

when other people whine about having to model.....

Its the greatest part of the hobby, guys! Its the only time you get to be really creative!

oh wait, i play orks....

Yeah, but there were only about 5 of them and it was quite fun re-building them.

Back on topic, the sinking feeling when you realise it's only 2 days until christmas and you still haven't done all that stuff you were going to do

When an update forces you to get this... this thing if you want it to keep the army the same and adapt to the changes.


Like the Ork cheerleader no amount of Golden Demons can make it look good.
Thankfully though conversion time (the more fun way anyway) go.

I don't know about you, but I'm not gonna risk screwing around with a 45 CAD broadsides, or a 1000 pound manta.

Yeah, but what about FW? After all, is it not said that in your first pack you get twice as many as you'll ever need? And the pathfinder models are, frankly, boring. Why not mess around a little?

Tau civvies:

Or you could make an ethereal without weapons.

FW? I'm not gonna get extra arms and legs. Those are the best thing to covert EPIC POSES.

And I actually do convert pathfinders, since I have more FW than I need (I use 6, own ~200), I can always replace a ruined PF.
