Buying some Space Wolf Blood Class circa 1993 and getting them home to glue them together with my airfix plastic glue.

Damn those metal bodies!

I R disappoint :(

I don't read other peoples posts!

Watching my friend's entire army case fall down the stairs. Being a gun fanatic paid off though, nothing broke inside the foam and metal case.

Spilled a new bottle of Nuln Oil all over myself the other day.

Failed a terror test, re-rollable Leadership 10 on my unit of 36 Dwarf Hammerers while they were based lined on turn 1...

It's a while back now, but:

2+ 3++ termies, and doubly so the 5th ed 2+, 3++, 4+ fnp termies..

Also accidentally gluing and zip-kickering myself to a metal hive tyrant..

That stuff looks rather like the 'life changer' liquid from Prometheus.. noticed any changes yet?

Biggest "Nooooooooooooooo!" I have heard: Many years ago, one of the metal thunderhawks that was touring the UK ended up at my local GW. One of the staff had placed it on the top shelf of the glass display cabinet - the weight was far too much for it, down it went taking the rest of the cabinet with it. I can't remember whether the guy responsible was fired or just walked out on his own..

Back in 1st edition, the old rule for orks whereby you could carry as many orks in a battlewagon as could physically fit - but, with the caveat that if any of the models fell out, they actually counted as having falling off the speeding vehicle and would take (usually fatal) damage. One of the kids in the store had stacked a literal pile of orks, about a foot high, and was carring the wagon around the edge of the table, saying "haha look at this guys" etc. To this day, I don't know if he tripped, or a foot was placed in his path - the orks went everywhere. Although, in that case the sound of 'Noooooooo' was drowned out by laughter

Having to paint a Heldrake for someone...........it was full assembled!


(anyone who has painted one would understand)

Well clearly he is posting from Guantanmo bay, perhaps all those who sitt there failed their terror test?

The curse of superglue:

All shall be glued but those two surfaces you are actually trying to glue....

Wow I am loving this thread! Ummm "NOOOOOOOO!!!!" moments for me....

Well I had one where I was playing my Nurgle CSM/Eppi list and Eppi died via some really crummy Njal psychic power..... I was well on my way to tabling the guy too!

A friend of mines: Sending a Terminator Wolf guard into a spire to kill a lone Tau Stealth Suit in a kill team game, he flubbed his rolls and the suit punched him out (then we said dumped the body over the railing onto his remaining squad mates)

His cousin: Having a whole Paladin unit wiped by a Chaos dread in CC, and closely behind that probably when some Oblits were stomping in at his Blood angels. He spread them all out cause I was continually Plasma Cannoning him (old dex), he laughed and thought he was safe since it was turn 5 and with this obj he was holding he'd win. I grinned evilly and said I'd be using plasma guns

My sister: She was playing a 2v2 game and was across from me. Welllllll there was a giant playmobile castle between us and she didn't see the DP sneaking up on her Scourges. They were standing on a balcony near a door. I moved the DP behind the door and as the assauly phase started I looked at her grinning and said "Ding dong! Open the door!" She was thoroughly confused as she opened the door then mortified when there was a grinning DP standing on the other side!

On monday i bought my Bloat Thrall. Went to assemble him. Found he was made of a huge chunk of metal. supported by 4 flimsy legs. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That was bad enough gut when i came to assemble him he had huge gaps that had to be filled. As it is he is now just about done and i am quite pleased with him. And it was actually the fact that he was a huge chunk of metal that led to him being named Lord Chunky.

Shelves pulled themselves out of the wall, tipping my (painted) metal Boarboyz onto the floor, where they exploded. Along with a very neat converted mini from Flinty. Took me years to get around to gluing them together.

My room-mate's dog sleeping on my models and breaking some of them in bad ways.

Noooooooo!

That awkward moment when your cat spills your last bottle of Devlan Mud onto your pretty white carpet.

A friend walked into a new games club - first time he'd been,walked in with his army in a shoe box...
He tripped and launched a load of baal's finest across the room...

I was modelling using a swiss army knife to cut things from sprues. The knife somehow managed to close on my finger. That one hurt. It was a box of these

To this day I still hate guardians. My finger has a scar about 3 quarters of an inch long.
Don't try that one at home kids.
Just split the last of them down to convert into corsairs...

When I saw 8th ed fantasy rules
then 6th ed 40k rules
then LOTR's current prices...


I don't play anything GW anymore, either got too expensive for me to afford or the rules plain suck in my eyes
and I once loved the games so...
I gave a nooooo to that

I was playing my old necron book over a year ago and a squad of marine was huddled around a tree like a bunch of hippies. Well hippies seem to be immune to particle whips because they did not die, not one of them from my mono. Also watching your 2 year old nephew get a hold of your imperial guard tanks...

When your on the toilet wipe'in your @rse and your finger goes through the toilet roll!!!!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I was supposed to be getting an intro game in my flgs but had one of the staff tell me there was no point as new rules would be hitting this week

This quote from the LOTR forums..............

Speaking of LOTR... The first minis from The Hobbit are up on GW's site.
My biggest Noooooooooooooooo was when I just saw the pricing. The White Council. 4 finecast figures.
$75 bucks. That is about twice what I thought too much was.

Dear children, men, women and even xenos.
This has occured just 5 minutes ago. I was never a finecast fan until this moment. I got a Azhag from WHFB to paint for a friend of mine. of course he's completely finecast.
I left him on the table to get some tea. I st down and turn around in my chair, when suddenly my elbowtouches something and moves it over the corner of the table.
Suddenly I remember that I had an Azhag on the table.
I look at the falling Azhag and shout "Sweet Emperor NO!" And in my head this sinfony starts playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMUKSCnBMVw

Azhag hits the floor and tumbles to the door when suddenly my mother comes into the romm and the door crushes Azhag to the wall. I run to the miniature and , what a miracle, it wasnt broken. If it had been a metal figure it have a bunch of metal scrap right now. And the moral of the story "All hail the great finecast Emperor!"

watching helplessly as my friend dropped my KR case with Grot Tanks, Grot Mega Tank and other FW goodness inside....

Gutted :-(

Biggest noooooooooooooooooooo was about a year ago. One of the rare occations when i was at my local GW having a game. A young kid comes in asks if anyone could teach him how to play. Red shirt says yeah hang on ill set you up with some Orks and you can play aginst this guy (me) and his Guard. Redshirt chucks up a case full of Orks on the table. Bumps my Yarrick and and about 6 guardsmen off the table. Time slows down as the redshirts blood drains from his face. I make a leap for Yarrick but my hand over shoots and i manged to snatch 2 guard out of the air. Old man Yarrick bounces across the floor.

Total damage = his sword breaking off. Not even any paint chipped off.

Worst part was the kid started to cry and said he didn't want to play this game anymore then walked out the store. For some reason everyone there felt really bad for him.

The biggest Noooooooooo! moment I had was when I was in the garage painting my new Assault on Black Reach orks. Keep in mind that these were the first mini's that I had ever assembled and painted. At the time I just kept the box under my painting table. I've just got the T.V. on in the background and my cat is loitering around the room. Suddenly I hear a weird sound. I remember thinking to myself "What is that?" I look under my desk to find that my cat had mistaken my AoBR box for a litter box.

B.B.Q. cat indeed.

When I was an impatient teenager and decided to dry paint on a predator using a hair dryer. Turned out it was a touch too hot.
