This idea just came to me because my Dark Imperium set came in, and I accidentally stepped on a Pox Walker and jesus did it hurt.. So the idea came to me? This stuff is worse than lego. Because when you look at it, Death Guard are 90% points, I'm glad I didn't step on a Foetid Bloat drone, or I might have needed stitches!
So there are a lot of factions out there that have a lot of different builds

So for whatever reason you think, what is the worst faction to step on bare foot and why?

For me it's probably Death Guard due to the fact that they are all freaking points

Anything Eldar should be considered armor piercing

Touche.
Once almost stepped on a hive tyrant head and thought I would have needed surgery to remove the spike if I had stepped on it

**Nevelon**

Eldar can be slender and pointy, but lack the mass for true damage.

Chaos I think is the best mix if spikes and substance.

Nids can get pretty bad.

Old fantasy had some bad times. Nothing quite like accidentally leaning your arm down on a ranked block of spearmen. Also, the old metal stegadon still holds the title of model I’d least like thrown at my head.

**MechaEmperor7000**

I once sat on a Bloodletter. It lived up to it's name. It also took two days to extract.

**hippyjr**

The amount of blood spilt while assembling daemons of khorne has a beautiful irony to it

**jhe90**

Chaos has the spike of dark eldar but less slender and breakable for more damage.

Truely a bad combo.

**MechaEmperor7000**

Yeah. The thinner chaos/dark eldar models can be like shrapnel if they get in and breaks.

**Stormonu**

Carnifexes with scything talons can get pretty painful - like damn Xacto knives.

**NenkotaMoon**

SoB. Money that isn't coming back.

**MagicJuggler**

3rd edition Dark Eldar. Slender, pointy, and full of spikes.

**Yarium**

Had a friend slam his hand on a table once, not noticing the old metal 2nd ed Grots on it. This is what they looked like:

**JohnU**

The Micromachines faction.

**Xicsess**

I recently stepped on one of my ork koptas and it hurt quite a bit more than I thought it would... it's all those jagged spikey metal bits they put on everything.

Somewhere out there is a hell of an ER Story.

**Captain Joystick**

Sisters of Battle. On account of them being made of metal and having some pointy bits on the stop half.

Sisters Repentia are a notable standout, as they have their eviscerators raised and are ready to defend themselves against the stompy menace.

**NenkotaMoon**

Outside of stepping on something it took only a week before I stabbed myself with a new xacto knife while working on my models.

I'm less concerned about the blood spilt and hoping more that your jabs are up to date, otherwise you gonna get a healthy dose of papa Nurgle's blessing.

**Jimsolo**

I've built Chaos and Dark Eldar, and I think the DE win by a mile. I've taken so many wounds from those models its ridiculous.

**NorseSig**

They aren't models but my vote goes for metal steam punk 4 sided dice and Warhammer 40k Lego models.

**graywater**

A buddy of mine went to rest his hand on the table and didn't notice that one of his metal bloodletters was in the way. It was one of those bloodletters with their swords sticking straight up, and he ended up burying that sword to the hilt in his palm. I still cringe a little when I think about it.

**Xenomancers**

I know from experience. The answer to this question is metal Incubi.

**Melissia**

A drop pod. Because goddamnit those things are obnoxious to put together to begin with, and now all that's ruined.

**timetowaste85**

7th edition Warhammer fantasy night goblin spears. I believe that usually is the thread winner, yes? Lol. Those things hurt!! They stick to you any time you reach into the box.

**alienux**

I'm going to break the rules a little and use a different GW game, but stay with the spirit of the original question. For me, the worst to step on would be the Orc team minis from Blood Bowl 2016. I've never had so many holes in my fingers as I did after putting those together. There are so many pointy armor bits and spikes that they literally hurt to put together.

**Marmatag**

Chaos Rhinos have those incredibly sharp up-facing points on them. It would be an absolute disaster to step on them.

**SGrimhart**

My vote is for an old metal Chaos: Night Lords model... Stepped on mine the other night .. the wings don't bend at all

**daedalus**

Buildings are actually quite treacherous. I caught my hand on one of those spikes that are featured on the ruins GW used to sell and it drew blood.

**amazingturtles**

Those sticky out parts on the sprues themselves. I jammed one of them deep under my fingernail once.

So faction wise, i guess that's everone! unless it's an all metal faction

**BrianDavion**

The titan legions. it might not hurt the most but realizing you stepped on and crushed a 500 dollar model HAS TO SUCK
