Makes me wish I played nids in 1987. I love old minis, too. I have the bugman's rangers from 1986.

**Knox**

I remember those, however they contradict themselves in that according to the dwarf rulebook Bugmans rangers are armed with throwing axes, I prefer the models as a better judge of what they are armed with rather than the book, especially with the organ gun that can't take runes on it yet a picture shows the top of a organ gun and it says "dwarf artillery is often inscribed with powerful runes". What?

... When you're using an unpredictable timer (a plunger stuck to a wall) to see when the game ends and you accidentally knock it off of the wall and lose the game by about 40 points

Pinoypower knows exactly what I'm talking about.

When you been playing fo four days before you realize the plunger is just not going to fall.....

**DrownedRat117**

When 2 Stormravens packed with Death Company and Dreadnoughts park up next to you and your safe little gunline.

Ouch, sounds amusing.

You know the sinking feeling when five Rhinos and a landraider filled with Khorne Bezerkers and Kharn reaches your lines, even after having six leman russes, four weapon teams and a Manticore shooting at them.... and then they proceed to slaughter your army

**DrownedRat117**

Smashing the smug look off of the Guard players little face while laughing manically, cupping a fair 50 dice in your hand and basking in the goodness of Re-Rolls and Furious Charge.

It's a wonderful life.

**Trondheim**

The sinking feeling the enemy gets when your friends Titan fires its weapons at a large mass of Traitors who just slaughterd your Guardsmen. And all die, revenge is best served cold

**Wulfen Andy**

When your squad of terminators roll 1's for bolt gun saves!

**KilroyKiljoy**

When your Chaos Dreadnought rolls a 1 on Crazed while behind your Obliterator squad.

**Trondheim**

Thats why you dont use Dreads. You know the sinking feeling when your Bloodpact army face nids in a kill point game

**CthuluIsSpy**

You know that sinking feeling when your monolith died to a DS mishap.

**Luco**

That sinking feeling you get when your plasma cannons blow themselves up.

That sinking feeling you get when the plasma cannon template scatters onto the devastators that fired the shot in the first place.

**Dragearen**

When you fall short of getting into the semi-finals of a tournament because you forgot to grab your(totally clear!) blast markers.

**juicaj1**

When your looted wagon rams a truk full of boys that is not close enough to assault and in plain sight of a devastator squad.

When you have to run an ork squad without a nob with power klaw.

When you accidentally bump and move a card board building an inch and know it will never be right where it had originally been placed.

why was there a plunger on the wall you ask? well there is a good answer but it has been lost in time.
when you pull the pluger off the wall.

One of the most effective uses I have had out of Tank Shock: Load a Chimera full of Vets with 3 flamers and 1 heavy flamer. They can still attack even if the vehicle moved flat out so Tank Shock into the middle of a squad with the whole thing. Flame On.

On that note... That sinking feeling when you destroy a Chimera tank shocking your Thousand Suns and then look over and realize the 7 little guardsmen left inside the crater are actually Vets. With Flamers. And they're PISSED.

Either you didn't explain that very well or i'm sorry to break it to you, but they can't. Passengers can only fire out of a vehicle if it moves at a maximum of Combat speed. (P66).

**templarsandorks?**

You know that sinking feeling when ypu face grey knights

**im2randomghgh**

...when your tau are in CC...and can't seem to fail their morale test and fall back...

**pinoypower**

when you stow your army away improperly and when you get back to it spiders have concored you tyranids.
my army smells of raid.

You should have glued them to your tyranids just so that they're that much grosser

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.

Do the numbers signify something?

**Ascalam**

That Thunderbird 2 is still in his car, and he hasn't deployed it yet because it's in reserve

**Ridealgh**

When your Favorate HQ choice gets tankshocked by a rhino fails to stop it and dies

Done, I tankshocked a Grey Knight Grandmaster off the board edge... And you know that sinking feeling when your Grey knight squad rolls double 1's to assualt a vindicator... And it was my Vindacator that was being assualted while the rest of his army was in a perfect cluster in front of me... OH JOY AND HAPPYNESS!

Also you realise said favourite HQ is under no obligation to make a DOG attack and could've simply moved out of the way...

**killykavekommando**

...When you're playing a game at your local hobby store, and a man with adhd is playing orks in an apocalyse game with LOTS of dice.

42 FRIGGIN DICE, MAN! is still ringing in my ears from 2 years ago.

**Ascalam**

I use more than that for a single mob's attacks

Orks are good like that
