What are some of your funny moments that made you realize you are a 40k nut?

Mine came last new years day when a bunch of my gaming group family and friends gathered around to have fun n watch movies. The kids wanted to watch Disney's Mulan. Well while watching this at one point Mulan yells "For the Emperor!". My friends and I looked at each other and yelled "For the Emperor!" And began picturing drop pods coming in from orbit, land raiders rolling through town, assault marines jumping in, followed by rows of guardsmen and Russ tanks. Lol This also gave rise to the belief that when making assault moves in game we much yell "A girl worth fighting for!"

Lets get down to business,
To defeat Chaos.
Did they send me Sisters?
When I asked for Guard!

Your the saddest bunch I ever meet,
But you can bet,
before we're through,
Mister I'll,
Make a man,
Out of you!

Well lately in my Western Civilizations class (which I've caught my teacher reading the 40k rulebook in) whenever we talk about Rome and he mentions "worshiping the Emperor as a god" I always snap out of my usual daze in class. Then I realize they're not the kind of Emperors that made Primarchs and resume zoning out unsatisfied.

I remember smelling the scent of plastic glue a few months ago for the first time in years. A rush of terrific memories came back to me, and my 40k nerdness kicked in. Ive played at least 3 games a week since then.

My willingness to travel 600 miles to play a game of 40k or to travel 5000 miles to pick up some Forge World products so that I could hand carry them home.

Yet, continuously forget to fill my fridge on a regular basis.

In between severe cases of hunger pangs, it makes me laugh when I think about it...*cough*

HIDING IN METAL BAWKSES!

I know. Last week at a school assembly, when everyone was screaming and YOU COULD NOT FETHING HEAR YOURSELF THINK, I thought that a good weapon for a Noise Marine was to capture the noise that the school made, and have the Noise Marines use it.

I then thought that it would end up being one of the most destructive hand held weapons to exist!

Well, recently when I was building my Exorcist, Death-Cult Assassins, and Crusaders, I could only barely smell the glue.

Edit: Also, when my mom's ankle was broken and had a cast on it, there was a decent-sized bloodstain on it - which apparently is quite normal. So I decided to get out a sharpie, and write, "Blood for the Blood God!" with an arrow pointing to the bloodstain.

Apparently it confused the doctor or nurse who eventually removed the cast.

When someone tries to punch me and I claim their WS is too low as I dodge.

Arguing with some people is like playing chess with a pigeon. You can play the best chess in the world, but at the end of the day the pigeon will still knock all the pieces off the board and then gak all over it.

I accidently did this.
"Hey Celestina!"
"Huh? My name is Heather."
"Oh gak no."
"What does that mean?"
"What? Do you mean?"
"Gak? Is that even a word?"
"Yes, it is. Sorry Celestina."
"Shut up!"

Yep calling girls Saint Celestina if they remind you of a sister of battle rofl.

Not my story but a good friends.

He wakes up in the middle of the nite and goes to the fridge. On his kitchen counter is a bunch of his guard and tanks moveing on their own. Complete with commisars yelling orders. He said he watched them for a sec then walked back to his room swearing he was crazy. Right then wakes up and has to check the counter to make sure that he was dreaming.

When your last 50$ for the week you spend on 40k stuff instead of food, beer, getting a life or fuel for your car




Or, when your friends think your too much of a hermit and take you to speed dating(in a bid to find you a boyfirend/friend/anything thats not a 2/3inche model or a cat), only to realise that even though you are infact out of the house your socialisation skills consist of explaining what warhammer is and why your army "pwns the other sh#t ones" at the local store.. They realise your just going to be a lame cat lady and leave you to paint minis for the rest of your life!(or until they miss you and want you to get a life ~ usually around the 6-8mth mark) ahh peace and quiet finally...


(i didnt end up getting any contact requests from the speed dating incident of 2011, guess theres always next year..)


Wont you let me be your token cat lady??

Yeah that wouldnt happen considering the only guys iv seen at my store over 30 is the manager and a few guys that look like they stepped out of LoTR...
There are.. hmmm.. 4 girls at my store that play, 2 at my uni and a few random painting ones at the head store in the city. I probably know like 8-12 girls who paint and/or play 40k but at least half of them, well, i dont want to socialise with. Some are... very nerdy, some are to amazing at painting for me to even approach to talk to and the rest i just chat to in store. I find all the kids under 21 come chat to me when im in store painting, most are well behaved. Except the one who made me cry first time i took anything painted into the store :(

+1 to spending funds necessary for survival on the next part of my army... because now my army list is almost completely finished without having to proxy! ....until next week when i decide i want to try a new list

I was lying in bed with my girlfriend watching tv, the dvd remote wasn't working so i thought it needed batteries until i noticed a 40k figure blocking the little light. I could have said "oh i see, a model is blocking some of the signal or something" but no, I decided to say "OHHHH the dvd has a 4+ cover save!" Luckily my girlfriend doesn't know enough about warhammer to know what i was referring to... our relationship might not have survived that hit
