Did/does anyone have any dangerous minis?
I'm not talking 'ooh, they were pretty formidable', I'm talking blood and guts dangerous.
Models that were/are a threat to your health and the health of others.

I don't want 'I stabbed myself on my hobby knife while putting together blah blah blah'
I want Minis that are physically dangerous, ones that could get you banned from a store.

I'll start: My old Ork Warboss, his PK was a drill. With an actual spinning head. The head was a 2.5" screw. I never got to see if this would harm anyone, because I did it for a commission.

One more - My cousin's Monolith, which he filled with some lumps of iron he found to stop little kids from picking it up. He dropped it on his foot and it (his foot) broke in three places.

Anyone got anything else?

My Silver town of Tzeench for APOC is LITERALLY a silver, lightly converted planter bucket with about a dozen 5"nails protruding out of it

**Brother SRM**

I remember reading a story about a guy who glued old razor blades to his stompa so kids wouldn't pick it up. I also remember playing some Napoleonics game with a guy where all his bayonets were actual pins, to keep people from picking models up by the gun. People who do this kind of thing are pathological maniacs.

The worst I've got is the Cities of Death buildings, which have broken the skin on more than one occasion. A friend also once stabbed me in the arm with a 2nd edition grot. The spike on his helmet drew blood.

**Raumkampfer**

My Bloodthirster drew blood. Wretched model.

**Joetaco**

i got a lead miniature. i suppose if a kid ate he would die of lead poisoning, so i guess that'll show them

**Cheex**

The old metal Chaos Terminators, especially when playing floorhammer. I've come close to impaling my foot a few times on them.

Otherwise, the CoD buildings are notorious for having exceedingly sharp pointy bits that could easily poke an eye out when you stoop over to get a good 'model's eye view' for TLoS.

**Luthon1234**

I play DE eveything is damaging to your health both physical and mental.

**DEATH89**

Black Templar's Emperor's Champion (not the ltd ed one) sharp upwards pointing 2 inch sword mixed with floorhammer caused a rather large gash in the arch of my foot

**Victimized Tyrant**

While taking it out of the sprue, the spikey tail bits on the trygon stabbed my thumb. It bled for the better part of five minutes

**Crazy_Carnifex**

Saurus Warriors. Whole Blocks of incredibly pointy spears, backed by rows of Spines and spikey shields.

**children of filth**

the chaos lord on juggernaught. after assembling it i dropped it on my toe (and i had added extra spikes, too)

**micahaphone**

Proof that playing chaos is bad for your health.

**usernamesareannoying**

i remember playing warhammer quest years ago and reaching into the bucket of plastic goblins it came with... i pulled my hand out with about 6 dangling from it.

good times good times....

**CadianXV**

I assembled my SM tanks with realistic guitar string aerials. Completely harmless, until my opponent says, "Cool tank!", attempts to pick one up, and gets the palm of his hand skewered.

Funnily enough, he's never tried picking them up again.

funnily enough ive seen this happen about half a dozen times with various players FOW tanks...lol

**vodo40k**

I also support COD buildings, I got a gash all down my forearm from one of those.

**wizard12**

Suprisingly the old metal venerable dreadnought (loyalist of course) is pretty sharp. Never acturlly draw blood but then again...

**crazyK**

How about terrain?

I was playing at my FLGS when I heard a loud bang at the table next to me followed by raucous laughter. Apparently a player was ducking down to check line of sight and inadvertently tried to impale the side of his head on a pointy-topped, ruined building. He laughed it off, but I think he hurt inside. No blood, but a nice bruise on his head for his troubles.

**Space_Potato**

Another contribution.
I once saw a carnifex with so many additional spikes, it looked like a plastic hedgehog. I didn't go near it, I didn't want to take the risk.

Also, you can now include humourous/painful mid-game accidents, much like the above poster.

In my last game, whilst bent down to check LoS, I sneezed and headbutted the edge of the table. I now have a long thin bruise running across my forehead

**yournamehere**

I've dislocated my shoulder mid game before but thats not saying much, I've dislocated it in my sleep.

**camboyaz**

I once was putting a metal SW Dreadnought on the table, near the edge. Anyway, I reaching to move my commander w/t a jump pack one my first turn, and a accidently bumped the Dreadnought of and it landed on my foot

!

**The Ghoma**

I tend to slice my arms open when playing CoD at my FLGS (by accident of course). Its happened so many times that whenever it happens the store shouts "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD" that and they made a terrain/bandage box for the board so i won't bleed to death.

**Deff Rider Warboss**

Very first 40k game, accidentally got stabbed by a spike pokeing out of a ruin's ceiling. There was only a little blood and luckily I was to excited playing that I didn't notice the pain

**baroncrowle**

Old metal ork pieces tend to be quite dangerous as well.

The old deff kopta was like a drunken old man, it has a hard time standing up and bites you back when you touch it.

**ultramarinelord**

Assembling my terminator librarian... ohh that was painful. Pointy skulls, rivets and stuff on the armour... and super glue. I hate super glue...

**Xenith**

The new Ork Killa Kanz have been withdrawn from stored and have failed EU health regulations. They have a health warning for being too spiky.
