My army's armor color is black so it shows every little highlight mistake like a sore thumb

I know that feel. I play Ulthwe Eldar.

My Tyranids are Behemoth, which means layers and layers and layers and layers of red. The problem is the first few layers look hideous, the next few look better, but I don't get to see the end result until they're hit with dullcote, which alters the red shade since it removes the shine.

When I charge with my Thunderwolves, it's so hard to hold all of the attack dice...

My orks are a horde army, and take aaaages to get them all painted...

I use a bucket for my dice though. I heartily recommend it for psychological and thumb strain reasons alike..

Its ok bro *hug* i know that feel, i know that feel

Hormagaunts tipping over when I so much as touch them, when the slot in a base is far too wide for the model/too narrow or short, Finecast bubbles, aseembling Zoanthropes, Zoanthropes breaking off their base, having to lie about making the skin blotchy deliberately to disguise the fact that I'm a terrible painter, when I'm so far behind on my painting that it's too intimidating to start painting again. when people playing armies like Grey Knight, Tau and Eldar get jump MCs with great saves, heaps of wounds and awesome weapons for less points than my slow, armour save only MCs with bad guns, then complain about them being overpriced.

I play IG and I basically need three bags for all my armor and infantry and that`s straining, the rest of my armies are single bag at 2000 points

I don't drive, so by the time I get my classic Necrons or my Sisters to a game, I need a minute to get feeling back in my shoulders and get past the 'arms about to fall off' stage.

I can't fit everything into the car when I go play Apocalypse.

I find it difficult to paint my 4 titans. Sigh :( !

Just kidding, ain't nobody got time for that!

I never roll enough 6's with my Tesla Immortals

I have too many models. And too much food.

Carrying all my Armoured Company Leman Russes is quite the hassle. Carrying ten tanks to battle? I almost need a porter.

This. I hate how hard it is to pack all my tanks and flyers for a 1000 point game.

GW prices - first world problem.

I decided that my space marines were imperial fists, but after a few units realised that yellow is horrible to paint. i'm too stubborn to strip them and paint them more sensibly, that and i bought LOADS of yellow paint.

one of my most regular opponents plays emperors children, painted in nice pastel colours. the battles versus my IF's look like an explosion in a paint factory and hurt my eyes

I don't have the time to finish painting the dozens upon dozens of models I have to catch up on.

For good reason, we all know what happens when we paint our last model...

My problem is my ADHD when it comes to painting. The amount of half painted stuff I got lying around is ridiculous.

My display cabinet is too small for all my minis.

My Empire don't rank up all prettily

my painted models die first, always.

"Mary. Before we go to the play at Ford Theater, I want you to see something. I just finished painting my last model from my Civil War Chess Piece set." Abe Lincoln.

True story.

This thread is fun

Dammit that's what I've been doing wrong! I only allow myself to play what I've painted so....

Also, I have so many paints they don't fit in their box any more.

I never seem to win combat with Tau. I guess ill just have to stick to mass overwatch!

My forgeworld malanthrope is so beautifully detailed that I'm afraid to paint it.

Angron has too many bits and bobs to paint them all.

There's no safe way to transport wraiths without all the whips snapping off andhmy beer budget is suffering due to the GW pricing tyranny

I'm afraid to walk or take the tram when carrying my miniatures around, so I always drive to the FLGS. Last month I forgot to pay the parking fee and got a 60€ fine.
