I'll say...I was just trying to be funny, because I remembered the "Hardcore Geemers" poster when I saw that. Jeez.

And I know what a facepalm is, I have that same Picard picture for special occasions.



I also have:



And this was just a little bit of fun inspired by some Tyranid codex brainstorming...a biovore gaunt launcher.

Make it a Carnifex launcher and I will personally clean the soles of your boots with my tongue.

Ya my gf painted a gaunt a month ago and ever since wants to paint more I think I'm gonna slowly convert her to a painter for me haha. She makes fun of me all the time but she is just fine with my own little hobby. It is funny though when I bring my gf in my FLGS all the awkward looks..... and whispers (girls dont come here).

i leave a thread for one night and i come back and THREE pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ive got wip for 3 months and it hasnt got this much love.................

how in the world do you tell a girl you play with little toy men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







see i still have the CAPS and the exclaimation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not wargamming, but myself and two friends found their current girlfriends via PnP RPG's.
My other half also joined me in the wargamming ages ago before we where married and has stuck with it since, alas the other two girls have not, although one did try Necrons for a short while.

My girlfriend enables, but I didn't meet her through the hobby. All the other girls I've dated just sighed at the mention and pretended to ignore my hobby. That's how I know this one's a keeper

a) Dear god. Stop with the caps and exclamation marks.

b) Easy. Say something along the lines of... "Hey honey, just thought I'd let you know I still play with toy soldiers." Pretty straightforward.

If your girlfriend/significant someone (I don't judge) doesn't like it, you're on your own for that. My girlfriend doesn't really mind, and I laugh at myself considering I've spent money on toy soldiers and enjoy scooting them around a board. Actually, my girlfriend wants to help me paint them. So there's not a problem on that front. Plus I've got priorities so spending shouldn't be a problem, ever (not that we share bank accounts yet... At 15, marriage isn't really on many couples' minds...)

If getting a girlfriend is the objective, how many units do you need to score?

About 6-26 inches.

I've never gotten a girlfriend, but I did get a date.

When your mom came to pick you up from the FLGS, we exchanged phone numbers and went out for a drink. She offered to show me her ( . )( . )

So your talking a large unit of bikers or a big group of ork boyz?

YES! well, kindof. in 1999, when I was 18, the LFGS; Caps Somics in Allentown PA had hire a hot blonde. She saw me playing Epic with one of my buddies from highschool (we were freshmen in college then, on x-mas break). She thought I was cute, and one group ski/snowboard trip later with some other people from the store, we started dating. I had 30yearold+ men hating on me for the next 8 months. Comic shop pimp FTW!

And the one diamond in this pot of coal......

assault, do us all a favor and stop, before the powers of Genghis Connie are invoked.

Too late, already gone and done it.

Well, it was good while it lasted....

Death to Exclamation points.

OP has at least answered the question in regards to himself.

I didn't meet my partner through any kind of gaming-related activity... rather through musicianship. It's a nerdy kind of thing in itself, though.

Sometimes I pick HER up from the FLGS.

Just a quick thought, after reading through the majority of posts (especially first page) the general attitude seems to be that any female gamer who dares to walk into a LGS will be laminated, framed and placed on a wall for all to admire!

Maybe if we all lost the 'OMG GAMERGIRL *dribble*' mentality then more girls may actually want to enter said stores, thus allowing more nerds to finally get gfs.

Modquisition on:
Lets cease and desist this. Its borderline trolling and is really annoying. Deleting portions to keep the thread from freaking out on the screen.

She came home one day and told me she thought she had found the place...and low and behold...she found an LGS. She has regretted it ever since (5 min drive from our place or 1 underground stop).

So thats why she has the "i want you to crash your car and burn to death in it" look whenever she comes by the store.

Non-modquisition mode:

I often find it embarrassing when the fairer sex makes the mistkae of entering a store. The youngins just stop and stare. Its creepy and embarrasing. I feel like walking up and apologizing for them-"sorry, they're mostly harmless. Just don't make any sudden moves and back out slowly."

Seriously my 14 year has better manners than a lot of what I've seen.

right i can do a post with no excailmation marks! hmmmm

anyway thanks guys for all the support and yeah maybe if we all didnt stare at the 'leandary' female more would come.
i mean my sis quit the game after walking into a shop and everyone staring.
she spent 2 hours in sub way restrurant till i came out.
i feel bad about it now though.

I met my girl while I worked at a comic/gaming store. It was her second time in one, and it makes for quite a fun story.

If I was single and I was even slightly more active in the hobby I would assume that I would not ever meet a girl through 40k. I've met one FB babe, but she was married. Even if she didn't play Fantasy she was a redhead with tattoos, so total drool material.

I just live in one of those areas where events are sausage-fests. If I want to meet a girl I'll do it the old-fashioned way (in the park at night).
