When you roll 6 ones for your 6 plasma guns firing at abbadon and a murderous deathstar of chaos termies....and you have never heard of the multi-assault rule, so both your veteran units get s-s-s-slamed!

**killykavekommando**

...When I get marked as spam on my own thread.
...When you wish you played guard.

**MrMerlin**

when you struggled to get a great skin tone on a model for hours, and then put a wash on it. You let it dry, only to find out that it has ruined your skin-tone completely. AAARGH!

Done that before, only with camp, not skin.

Hah!! that's funny.

The vampire countess on my desk knows exactly what your talking about. Not only did it make the skin tone darker, but it made it go grainy for some weird reason.

...When you realize that you have spent the last 2 hours working with greenstuff.

When you were looking forward to wargaming on the weekend, and then you're so busy you have only two hours of free time, and you spend it on dakka and don't get the chance to wargame -_-

**PhrycePhyre**

...When you realise your basic troop choice is more expensive, just as squishy and has half the range of a guardsman

...When you realise that your most competitive troops choice is a transport

... when you realise that your dedicated combat units are beaten in cc by dedicated ranged units

1) You think your 10 man tactical squat w/ a power fist in it is going to put a beat down on 8 mandrakes and take a game winning objective. Your opponent inflicts 5 wounds and you fail 4 saves plus the rest of the squad including the power fist wiff. The unit was wipped out the next turn

2) In a 2500 point game of Orks vs Dark Eldar on turn 2 your orky opponent rolls a die and tell you ok Boss Snikrott is comming in. Him and his 14 boys with 2 burnas arrive and manage to hit two large warrior squads with their burnas and assault them wipping out both. Suddenly the whole flank is rolled up.
I have to admit I actually did this one to my friend, the look on his face was so good I thought he was going to pass out.

It seems like you cheated. You can't multi-assault if you shot.

**nurglerulesslaneshdrools**

... when two grey knights kill your squad of ten dire avengers and autarch even though you used blade storm
thats right I did it not the sucking part the killing 10 dire avengers and autarch =) with 2 grey knights not even termies

GREY KNIGHTS RULE

**Brutii11**

...When you try to apply your last transfer and it breaks apart in you hands.

...When you attempt to free-hand the transfer and end up with a blob of paint all over your model.

yes you can, you just have to assault what you shot at, but you can assault more. and with flamers you can easily hit 2 squads at the same time

yep...everything he touches turns to feces

**Skits**

... when you run out of that really old paint that's been discontinued/changed and you can no longer buy anywhere, but which is integral to your army's colour scheme.

Hasn't happened yet, but I'm not looking forward to when it does, heh.

**killykavekommando**

...When you realize that you've already spent about a whole day's worth of time playing starcraft, and you just got it two days before.

**pinoypower**

when your friends pretend to kill you.(they do)

**Knox**

What's that supposed to mean?

**im2randomghgh**

When anything from codex: Tau Empire is in CC, ever.

Don't worry knox, that doesn't apply to you. It's some new guy that's BRoley's friend.

Back on topic:

...When your birthday was one of the worst days of your life (last friday sucked).

**salix_fatuus**

You know that Sinking feeling you get when your 300p ccs unit get a deepstrike misshap roll of 3 on a 3mx3m game "board". (taken from a personal experience)

You know that Sinking feeling you get when Lukas the Trickster dies and you fail the roll for your Imperiator Titan.

**Marine_With_Heart**

That sinking feel you get when you realise you forgot to deep strike your vanguard Veterans because "they looked cooler among the assault marines when I deployed..."
^
I'm sorry but I did this :(

That sinking feel you get when your deep strike scatter comes up with your models base barely scratching your opponents... and they deploy them into the far corner instead... and they're assault terminators, and the enemy is atleast another 3 ft away with lascannons...

**Durza**

When you spend ages putting those Sonic Blaster arms on... and then there's a massive gap between the shoulder and torso somehow and you have no green stuff...

**Castiel**

When you charge your PF armed Chaos Biker Sergeant into a squad of Tau and he gets falcon punched of his bike by some cheeky wee FW!

**MrMerlin**

when you only have 2 guys to play against, and they dont seem to fancy a battle more often then once in 2 months!!

Where are those FLGS everyone is talking about?

**killykavekommando**

...When your life is spent wasting away studying for exams, wrestling with greenstuff, and failing at Starcraft II.

Starcraft name is RubbaChicken, in case you see me online.

**MrMerlin**

...you play in an orchestra (sax) and after 2 minutes you find out that you haven't looked at the key before you started....

...when you find out that spending money on gw-plastic-glue is a total waste and you can get twice as much glue with twice the quality for half the €$!!

So true!

**im2randomghgh**

The sinking feeling you get when you drop a weight on your toe, and that half second before the pain starts, where you're just like "here it comes!"

**Cryage**

when you roll 2 1's and any other dice when "birthing" termagants with a tervigon on turn ONE... :( I mean 1 1 6 isn't terrible... but it certainly isn't great at all.
