She also used all her Eldar transfers for her nails one day...probably the awesomest thing I've ever seen.

Thats awesome...Ive known some girls who would have done that if the idea had ever come up...but then again Ive known some weird girls...

My wife play Fantacy and Mordheim, both using Dwarfs. She'd probably play 40K if there were Dwarfs.

The wife thinks me and the kids are a bunch of geeks!
Daughter however has got us to make her her own army.......
Meet Belinda and the pink fist of doom with her purple legion of the damned. (she cries if we kill em so they all have a 1+ invunerable though)

My missus taxed my ork army, only after trying to make me sell all my 40k. We play occationaly more the modeling side for us.

For all her usual artistic tendencies, mine doesn't seem at all inclined to paint or model. She likes the look of 40k, but the gameplay doesn't appeal to her. When I started getting interested in Infinity, though, she agreed to play a trial game with me (I wanted to try out the BoW quickstart rules) and she actually enjoyed it enough to not only agree to a followup game, but actually request more in the following weeks.

I need to start saving up for a pair of starter boxes (she's looking at Haqqislam, a decision she arrived at based solely on aesthetics). If I build and paint them, she might get deep enough into it to justify building a board at our new place (I'll go down to the FLGS for 40k), which would hopefully add further fuel to the fire, resulting in regular Infinity nights at home.

She's also played various board games, a little bit of D&D, as well as RTSs, FPSs, and an MMO. Generally, though, her gaming habits seem more like passing phases - after a while, she just seems to lose interest. I'd love for her to be more into gaming, but she's very tolerant of it, at the absolute least.

My wife thinks nids are hot and currently has over 3000 points of them. She calls them her babies and giggles with happiness every time her babies explode a tank or chomp on some flesh.

I'm a lucky man.

I'm divorced. My ex tried 40k once. She also tried painting and only managed to ruin several of my Chaos Marines... had to strip them and start over.

My gf painted a single space marine.

Otherwise, here interest in table-top games doesn't extend beyond monopoly, cluedo etc.

She tolerates the hobby though, despite thinking it's a bit sad.

No, D&D yes. Heroquest Yes. But toy soliders no..

My Fiancée has a fairly large Space Wolf army, she's a pretty good painter and plays the odd game with me when I ask her reeeaaaaally nicely

not yet. most likely my daughter will pick it up though. my wife likes it when i paint across from her when she is working on something or another.

Almost got my Uncle's girlfriend to play 40k. She was very interested in this game that always lead to me getting home past eleven on thursdays and even wanted to do a demo after what I had explained to her what it was.

It's too bad my Uncle broke up with her several days later.

Yuppers, the wife plays Nids. Sucks because she ALMOST went with DE, but that was before anyone knew anything was happening with the DE, and since we werent sure if they would ever get an update, she went with her 2nd pick the nids. sucks too because about 2 months later is when the rumors started leaking out and I already bought her some Nid stuff

My wife has some CSM, but we use them for a different rules system. She likes dark, gothicy, chaos type stuff. My financial senses have kept me from showing her DE.

And shes still married to you?

My GF has two armies right now; Dark Eldar and SoB. She has played a few games and really enjoys it. She also loves to paint, so +2. :-)

My wife NEVER played 40K, nor would she even consider going to a tourney with me. Many a time I have been sitting at my painting desk, doing my thing, and she would come into the room complaining that she was "bored to death", I offered on numerous occasions to help her start an army with me, from picking out to assembly to painting to playing. I would have given my left nut for her to show some interest in my hobby, but she refused, she would say "Thats too nerdy for me to play" *nasal voice*. Needless to say, I WAS married to her for 7 years, we've been separated for over a year now, and the divorce papers are being filed sometime this month. Moral of the story: If you find someone you love, please make sure she loves the same things that you do. If not, it will surely end in disaster.

You don't think *I* would paint my Orks like this...

Nice. Maybe not my chosen paint scheme but she does have good taste when it comes to picking an army.
