I was intrigued by your rainbow deamons so i checked out your gallery. That bloodletter painted like lava is very impressive.




You know that sinking feeling when...

Your bored so you decide to start an Ork army.
I told myself i didnt want to start an Ork army, 1 green army is enough. Myself told me that you are bored of painting that particular shade of green and have had a gut full of painting guardsmen and should start an Speedfreak/Deathskulls army. *Has nervous breakdown at thought of painting another 100+ models.*

you see this coming!!!!






LOL

...When a ctan is put down at 1000 points.
...When 2 Monoliths are put down at 1000 points.

..... you look in the cabinets at golden daemon, and realise you totally should have entered because this year was a joke.

...When your opponent brings a Land Raider at 1k points and the best you can do is glance it, ignoring the rest of his army.

HAHAHA

When 2 of your 3 opponents in a 8k per person apocalypse battle need to go home half way into the game.

You get that sinking feeling when your opponent throws the game?

Its not so bad being the only girl, its bad when your being watched and have to kind prove yourself

That seems to have good results. A girl walked into my hobby center and crushed everyone that played her. I stared because she beat a Swarmlord with a Celestian squad in melee. In one turn. With no close combat weapons.

... How?

I almost never use dreads because of this silliness. Finally put one in in the last game I played and once again just as it got into range with its twinlinked heavy bolter it rolled a 1 and fired on my own troops. It then promptly blew up in my opponent's next turn without having accomplished anything and *only* shooting at my own troops. Sigh...

Have a few of the Forge World chaos dreads because I love the models, but almost never use them on the table top.

Skriker

When you fix a painting mistake, and create another while you're doing it, over a mixed colour you don't think you can re-create.

When your broadsides fall apart completely and you have to buy FW ones -_-

Ooohhhhh I hate that. I've done it so many times too... i even flung one of my marines across the room once after i realised what i'd done. He simpily bounced off the wall with not a scratch on him. That armour save of 3 pays off.

I did a stealthsuit with blends of inky purple and blue that looked like oil on water. A year later, i wanted desert camo instead. So, i painted it over, only to realize how much better the original paintjob looked.

...when you fire nearly all your guns at a 10 man squad of Guardsmen and they live through it with only 2 casualties.
...when Marneus Calgar is killed in CC with a mob of Ork Boyz without doing anything.
...when you are facing a Creed army and most of his tanks are kept in reserve...

Thank you, thank you. I know, it takes talent to fail like that. Now, wanna guess why that suit is now truly invisible, including the base?

You know that sinking feeling you get when 3 of my heavy destroyers apocalyptically explode your baneblade on the first turn? Cuz I don't!

You know that sinking feeling when GW announces Dreadfleet?

Its not so bad being the only girl, its bad when your being watched and have to kind prove yourself

Womenz on the intarwebz + playing with mini-action figures?
I feel someone should be calling BS.

Yeah that is amusing. The way they get some stuff but not all of it. The tentative laughing at things they think might be naughty but dont fully get. Ahh youth.

Hang on i'll call Penn and Teller.

.... you spend weeks converting and painting a special unit, then find out that the latest edition makes it illegal.
Had some SM scout units with Autocannons this happened to.

Also, recreating the EXACT SAME MIX on an entire army.

btw, I thought I would just bring in some fail that's unrelated by virtue of CRACKED.

Charging a group of Genestealers with my Rough Riders and realizing before i roll that the 'stealers are going to hit first and kill all of my Cavalry before they get a chance to use that fancy lance of theirs......damn...that was a sinking feeling for sure....

All I can say is Good rolls.


You know that sinking feeling when your daemon army sees alot of warsythes.

Because the guy playing you just cheated his asp off.

You can only take 12 in the whole army, you know, and 10 of those are on lousy CC troops that are expensive as hades, unteleportable and restricted to a 0-1 rating in the FOC

I know that sinking feeling when I look at a table full of miniatures that are 95% unpainted and I know that eventually I will have to paint them all.
