I hate it when after spending all afternoon highlighting my Blood Angels with orange, after putting away my paints, dismantling my table, tidying up, I discover that I've highlighted my boltguns...with orange!

The thing I hate the most about 40k is... that sometimes I have to return to the (supposedly) real world!

I hate putting the finger into the greenstuff. Half an hour of painstaking, highly detailed sculpting reduced to a thumbprinted smear. No matter how good I get, every once in awhile my thumb just needs to undo my work...

That comes before TFG and stabbing my own fingers with my x-acto knife, so, I really hate it...

When my cat randomly decides to leap three feet into the air and come down on 7 posed and assembled Penitent Engines, breaking each and every one down into its component pieces.

Have you ever built a Penitent Engine? Hercules himself would turn down such a task. 7 of them!

I really hate how I get treated every time I walk into a new hobby shop...
All those stares and jaws dropping to the floor... Yes boys, girls can play Warhammer too, and yes, I'm really not trying to roll that many 1's so please stop laughing when my poor marines fail every single save.

Oh, I'm also starting to hate my Herald of Khorne & 16 Blood(less)letters too... They've now managed to fail an astounding 24 reserve rolls in a row! Yep that's right, 6 strait games where they haven't shown up untill it's automatic on turn 5. (thank god we're not still in 4th edition!)

I hate that I live over an hour from ANY gaming store, it really puts a damper on my ability to play this game.

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies.

I hate the point where I'm firmly established in my FLGS's pecking order and I always, always win against the same people, or lose to the same people. And it's always a one-sided deal; there's never a "good fight" game in there.

We need more players, so that doesn't happen/doesn't happen as quickly.

I hate it when every single game against my Tau friend always always ALWAYS ends up with my lone Marshal and a few marines, against a Hammerhead/Devilfish that just sits out of range and peppers me with bullets.

Maybe I'll hook 'em up with Jump Packs. See how he likes it THEN.

I hate when I walk into a store and all the gaming girls start oogling my chest and dribbling onto the table, as though they are trying to recreate Niagara Falls as an innovative way of pepping up their scenery, whilst the effect of the saliva on the glue makes the arms, legs, armour and weaponry of their miniatures fall off, disassembling their army entirely.

I hate it when I drop a tiny piece of something when I'm trying to glue it...

I also hate it when THIS happens:
"This part fitted flawlessly against this bit perfectly before I put glue on it!! The moment I put glue on it and it just doesn't. FIT!"


...Oh.. well what a piece of crap my daemon is turning out to be. :( Clicks may help improve him... He is clearly suffering.

Mind = Blown.

Perhaps star wars is simply a game from the 41st millenium set now, and sent, via time travel, to our recent past?

Or maybe i'm insane from lack of sleep.
