When you listen to a pair of DnD nerds talk bad about 40K as if it was the ultimate nerd game.

DnD is the nerdiest game in the world. The joke's on them, because they probably look like albinos because they never get out of their wizard costume and can't tan.

IKR?

I admit their aren't a HUGE amount of 40k gamers who are "normal", but their are indesputably zero normal DnD'rs

Normal is over-rated

It's a nice place to visit, but i wouldn't want to live there

When you realise you stuck that reaver titan cockpit component in upside down...

just after you've painted the titan.

When you realise that all those guard models you took over 3 weeks painting with love and care just got taken out in one 30 second move.

When you see that all the tables at your local gaming store are taken up by Horde vs Horde armies, and they just started.

When you see that every single other player at a tournament is running Marines, and half of them are running identical lists of the latest power-stomp...


And you brought Necrons

When you see another thread on the "newest thing to complain about" of the month

This.

A thousand times this...

When you start a massive 20 person apoc game and there are 30+ carnifexes, 3 Ghaz, 2 Swarmlords and 8 Bane blades...

God that match was rough...

When you look at your collection of books and other stuff and realize you been playing this game for 20 years.....

When you find out the next codex is yet another Marine chapter and your Tau are going to sit on the shelf for another year before being playable again.

When your Fire Warriors are charged by gretchins.

my friend experienced this yesterday.

i can sympathize tho.

...sinking feeling when you fire multiple S8> weapons at a deff dreads rear armor 2 turns in a row and get nothing more than an immobilized damage result

I just made one manta blue, and one beige, and painted "1" and "3" on them because I am tricksy. But mostly for gaks and giggles.

If feel the pain! This'll be the second or third edition that the tau haven't been redone. Tau are the only army that have to take target priority tests, now. That rule doesn't exist anymore for ANYONE else- as far as I know.

2nd so far.

Same with Necrons.

Both are 3rd edition codexes in 5th ed going to 6th ed.. :(

You get to take 6, 2+ armor saves.

Then roll five 1's.

I threw the dice away.

When you mess up and realize you glued the talons on your Tyranids on wrong. It happened to me when it was putting them on my trygon. I regretted it so much I ripped the talons off and glued it back on correctly. it looks fine now.

When you keep telling your friend- ahem, pinoypower- to get his lovingly converted tervigon professionally painted, but he keeps on making excuses as to why not -ahem pinoypower-

When your Hormagaunts fail to reach a Dire Avenger squad from a bad fleet roll, and that squad has Bladestorm.

I have a new excuse I mean reason why I can't.
1. I can do it...badly
2. There is no 2nd reason.

When the No More Nails holding my homemade WIP board sections begins to give way thanks to spraypaint getting on an untextured patch of polystyrene and melting it.

Hey I play both and I am quite normal...except for pretending like I'm an elven warlock and playing with toy soldiers...but QUITE normal otherwise...

God that match was rough...

And just half an hour after you start half the players say that they need to leave within the hour...

Ah, last time I made a massive board section of styrofoam, my friends and I spraypainted it red and black, only later to realize that it melted under those chemicals. GRR.

...When you realize how veteran the player you're about to do a tourney battle with is when he calls a carnifex a screamer-killer and pulls out a bunch of 2ed minis

Old minis are cool, except daemons, which used to look stupid.

Clearly, superior to the new Nids.

They are pretty cool (again, except daemon) if somewhat cartoony.

I'm still a huge fan of the screamer killer. That model was fantastic.
