Since I began my CSM army I've:
- Started listening to excessively loud music.
- Started enjoying the pain I get from pushing myself too far in the gym.
- Started playing murder obsessed bruisers in everything from DnD to Bravely Default.
- Started cutting myself and applying the blood in and on my models.
- Started being a duplicitous dick.
- Started picking my nose.
Has anyone else gone through this, any tips?
I'm seriously worried here.

Everyone does this and one of three things typically happens to resolve it;
1) We learn not to cut ourselves so much with the blade whilst working on our models
2) We fail to learn how not to cut ourselves and run out of enough fingers to hold models
3) Our significant other/mother bans us from further modelling
Although I typically find that the most common causes of cuts are:
a) Rushing - trying to do stuff too fast. Cleaning models with a blade is a slow, time consuming, soul destroying process - take it slooow!
b) Applying way too much pressure, often when trying to cut off large chunks - instead focus on whittling down larger chunks if you can't clip them off. That way you're applying less pressure and less force and you've also more control over the tool.
c) Dulled blades - a dull/blunt blade is a danger! It won't cut as smoothly, will require more force to cut and also might have damaged or weak points which will "catch" on the model causing sudden jolts in the cut. Always use sharp clean blades (which is why you never use your cleaning blade for greenstuff work - or if you do you make 100% sure to clean every single bit of GS off!)
d) Insufficient light - dull light makes it much easier to miss what you're doing and clip yourself. Always use good clear bright light; it will make a world of difference!
e) Fatigue - same as in doing anything when you're tired/hungry/worn out/thirsty etc... it will impact what you're doing. You won't realise it until the 3rd time you've cut your finger with the blade just quite how badly it can affect you at times (and when you come back and realise that not only has the model still got lots of flash on it but you've also clipped several points of detail!)

What about squeezing as much blood as you can from the cut and then "baptising" the model in Khorne's name?

As long as you don't start cutting AND listening to BVB.
Or BFMV.
Then we'd have to lock you up under psych observation.
Not for the cutting - for having such crap taste in music.

Ugh, dude! No.That's horrendous.
On a more pragmatic approach, how did he preserve the skin? He'd need to sacrifice more skin for the skin gods pretty regularly.

I applaud his dedication to the Lord of Pestilence...by I only do so at a distance, over the internet. My advice, let him win. Seriously though, how did he preserve the skin? Did he paint it somehow as well?

Blood doesn't actually dry to models too well and might end up damaging the paint work on them and make the paint clumpy.

I'm sure this is just a joke, but on the off chance this is not, seriously, consult a mental health expert.
You could really just call up such a place (Hospital, Psych department, health clinic, whatever), and they'll make sure you talk to the right people.
A lot of people have been having fun in this thread (and it has been funny), but I know that if any of them thought you were serious, their answer would also be to consult an expert.

In all honesty, trolls will be trolls, but in answer to the guys above who were asking about the Nurgle kid, he inked the skin then sprayed it with purity seal. It was fething disgusting. I didn't inquire too closely as to what the brown stains were.
It's a game kids, don't take it too seriously!

- Started listening to excessively loud music.
Cool music is always played loudly. Slaanesh approved.
- Started enjoying the pain I get from pushing myself too far in the gym.
I started enjoying the pain when I went through the Klingon Rite of Ascension. (seriously though, 'tis nothing out of ordinary)
- Started playing murder obsessed bruisers in everything from DnD to Bravely Default.
I play Brutal DooM from dusk to dawn. Playing NHL '95 doesn't turn me into a professional sportsman, playing Cooking with Mama doesn't make me a brilliant cook, and playing a sociopath character in a tabletop RPG won't definetely turn me into a murderer IRL. (but Tetris DOES make me a rad stacker!)
- Started cutting myself and applying the blood in and on my models.
Khorne approved!
- Started being a duplicitous dick.
Haven't you visited 4Chan?
- Started picking my nose.
As long as you don't do it on TV, you're clear.
