When you actually sat in materials class and thought how to make ceramite and what would the stress, strain and young's modulus would be along with ultimate and yield strength

When you look at the nerf axe/ sword and think 'I could make it look like a power axe and use it on people and not get thrown in jail.'

When you make a warhammer thread that's 84 pages long.

If you've ever argued about 40k for more then 30 days...

2500!
You Are exicted that this thread has passed over 2,500 messages!

You litterally were blown away when you saw the Dark Eldar new stuff.

You check daily on Amazon for good prices. (That reminds me. I found imperail guard stuff for 15$)

You wish you could spray paint your cat green and attach a howada on its back.

Fix'd

When you say "Blood Angels" as your favorite type of cheese.

Oshova

When you accidently say to a girl. "And by the emperor it shall be so!"
"Wait What?"
"What did i say?"
"Uhh, By the emperor?"
"Oh, gak."
"Is the emperor your god or something?"
"Uhh. Sorry thats from a thread."
"A Thread?"
"Sh-"
Then I preceded to tell her i'm sorry and walked away in shame.

Guilty.

When you read 40k novels and think that all the marines get a inordinate amount of armor saves it isn't even fair.

74. You wonder which template a U.S. Army tank uses for it's main weapon.

It uses no Template, it'd be a str D AP1 solid shot..... I know way too much about physics and shaped charges for my own good.

Except the shell isnt a shaped charge, its a APFSDS (Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot), though they do carry HE rounds which would be a Blast Templet of some sort.

They also carry HEAT rounds... And have the option to carry HESH... not sure if anybody still uses HESH though. Though I think the newer versions are using Tandem Heat rounds to get around the reactive armor. HEAT rounds penetrate more and do more damage inside but APFSDS fear nothing have a limited abiltiy to ignore reactive armor (the newer version at least). Basically APFSDS will hit even if the target has reactive armor and active counter measures but HEAT has a higher chance of killing the target. But heat even the tandem ones have to worry about the active countermeasures systems on the market... Thank god the russians didn't develope those for their T72's that went to export.

APFSDS also doesn't have to worry about cage armor.... the little embarrassing secret to shaped charges is their vulnerability to cage armor...

I think Commonwealth forces still use some HESH in tank guns. ... What's really scary is HESH shotgun slugs. Them and fireflys.

When someone at GW asks the manager if the new Dark Eldar line will have any topless models and by mistake you think he says "Open-Topped"

Yes I'm aware, my father was a Gunner on the M1A1 Abrams MBT and modern HEAT rounds are primarily used against Light Armor (IFVs,APCs and the like) and Outdated Tanks (T-64s, 62s, 54/55s and some un-updated 72's) Should they feel like using HEAT against them, but most of the time for most of those models they wouldd..

You know you dont play enough 40k when your talking about Abrams in a 40k thread

You know you play too much 40k when you have typed more about 40k than you have to any of your friends on facebook or myspace etc.

Your English teacher mentions WYSIWYG, pronouncing it as the word it is, and you immediately make the 40k connection and are overjoyed.
