When the model you've wanted for weeks turns out to be one of the most frustrating things in the world to put together.

That too...

@Im2randomghgh: I have a NIKON camera, so my images are clear regardless of macro settings or not. I also used a sweet magnifying soldering stand to further zoom the pics. I'll load the pics onto my Desert tau thread of the sculpted pathfinder. It's my first sculpt with many GW bits, so don't expect professional grade stuff.

...When you use your airborne company in a no-cover table
...When those airborne are up against Russian T-34s and I don't have anti-tank guns or flamethrowers because I was expecting Russian infantry. Thompson guns do nothing against armor.
...When people get excited about you sculpting.

When your Stormraven is somehow put into assault by a squad that is clearly out of assault range until the owner 'accidentally' knocks them down a hill.

When you mishap and your opponents places your Terminator Squad in the opposite corner of the board. Every single time I moved towards him, he ducked even more marines behind the Fortress of Redemption in the middle of the table.

When your opponent starts rolling dice in buildings and snatching up all the 1's before you can see them.

All of this in ONE MATCH.

Images of my sculpt are up, and I'm disappointed. The real mini has a lot of detail, but not in the pic. Click on the link in my sig to see them.

When people start missing Christmas.

When you spend ages looking for this thread on Whineseer, and remember it was on Dakka.

Good news everyone(pony): We are in the Codex: Dakkadakka! I am editing us in right now as we speak. I guess that's a pretty awesome feeling... right?

Right.

The sinking feeling my opponent gets when he sees one manta unload 188 FW, and the other one disgorge 48 FW, and the rest of the space filled with XV9s and Hammerheads.

Sinking feeling Squad
WS-2 BS-2 S-2 T-2 W-1 I-3 A-1 LD-6 SV-5+

Points cost: Over 9000/model

Special rules:
That sinking feeling- The soldiers in this squad suffer from a condition known as "The sinking". For every dice role they fail, add the difference in score of the actual dice roll and the roll required to pass to each of their attributes. The unit will also never flee for any reason.

You know that sinking feeling when you just ordered an american icon on the internet for an unbelievable price!



Although mine should have a non-era Woodland cover, which I'll use until I can get my greedy hands on a mitchell cover

When you realize your trying to read a thread 54 pages long...

I eat my Canadian symbols. (In more ways then one; I hunt, so I've eaten bear and moose)

That inexplicable proud feeling when you type canadian and your computer auto-corrects it to have a capital. Canadian

I love me some patriotism at the breakfast table

Been trying to get an affordable M1 helmet over the web for about a year now, particularly one with Vietnam era accessories, nothing museum quality, I want to finish my airsoft load-out with some cool set-pieces like that.

I play airsoft, too! My mates and I form 'Easy Company' or 'Those Short Guys with Big Guns.' It depends on who you ask. I'm known as amnesia in my squad because I forget pain? I don't know, actually. Maybe it's because I always get lost in the parking lot.

Is it just me, or does everyone in the sinking feeling squad play? Cuz I play too!

Me and my squad go hardcore, ghillie suits and silencers.

We have 6 guys, and we split into three teams: two of the teams are longrifle w/ ghillie and a guard, the third team is two faster-moving automatic weapons team who flank around and attack from the side.

I am a guard for rifle team two

We call ourselves ghost platoon, but everyone else calls us "campers"

We actually win almost all the time

My team pretty much follows standard U.S. Army squad and fire-team organization as stated in Field Manual 3-21.8: http://marines.mil/news/publications/Documents/FM%203-21.8%20%20The%20Infantry%20Rifle%20Platoon%20and%20Squad_1.pdf
We're not that serious about it, but we all know our roles in the team organization and chain of command.
Anyway, I am an Automatic Rifleman/ Gunner (M60)

When you realize that two of said characters can clear a large room with the same amount of effort as a full infantry squad... I'm not sure if 2 flamers=9 assault rifles?

Just make it do damage over time and cap it?

I'm auto rifle (ak-74 spetznaz!) flank guard and tactical planner. We actually have played against real army and marine corps teams and won a few times, surprisingly. My insane rate of fire, cold-hearted tactics, and dead-eye accuracy mixed with my unnamed team mate 1's ballsiness and unnamed teammate 2's stealthy killyness provide seriously devastating results. Then, there's team mate 4 (I'm # 3) who plays like a cop and uses my old Famas and hardly ever plays. When he does, he acts as squad sniper.

We all wear 1980's woodland camouflage, and I wear a WWII paratrooper bandolier/army belt. Team mate 2 wears a harness once used in Vietnam, while team mate 1 wears his jacket unbuttoned and his sleeves rolled up. Team mate 4 wears a full 1980's army outdoor kit, with the backpack filled with pellets.

Once again, we are known as Easy Company, those short guys with big guns, or just TFGs (those f**king guys)

I think it's Coal or Wood. You guys are great at blowing the tops off mountains and deforesting millions of acres of unspoiled Forests.



Yeah, I bought it as a collectible, but that won't stop me from using it in airsoft. BEWARE. If you're hit with a BB on your metal helmet, your ears will ring like hell for a while, so if you can afford a cheapo Kevlar Helmet, wear that instead. I've bought a massive supply of surplus this christmas, and I can't wait for it to get warmer. All we can play is like. Ambush games. It's too cold to be walking around

Surprised so many people play airsoft on this thread.

Canada's top 5 resources:
#1 Petroleum products 64 billion $
#2 Passenger vehicles (cars & Vans) 37 billion $
#3 Car parts & accessories 16 Billion $
#4 Aluminum products 8 billion $
#5 Lumber 7 billion $

When you realize that syrup didn't make the list...

Canada makes cars? I had no idea.

Also surprised coal isn't on that list. Must not be a terribly lucrative business.

GO CANADA!

You know that sinking feeling when you don't even want to go downstairs to talk to your parents because all they do is diddle on their computers and ignore you whenever you talk to them because they're SO busy. No, they aren't working. All they do is read reddit articles and talk about the conservative agenda. This gets really old, really fast. I'm hungry, but I don't want to be awkward and walk past them without saying anything.
