Having some of them stolen.

Arghh I made a topic about this today after accidentally Blasting my newly painted BA captain with my airbrush. I should really have posted it in this 'topic-that-already-existed'...

I think the worst single incident to befall my miniatures was a few years ago. I had pretty much every miniature I owned out on the floor so I could count and organise them. All neatly lined up into squads and mobs etc...

Anyway I ran out of space so I decided to move the TV and the table it was on into another room. I unplugged the TV and lifted it off the table and started to carry it away. I'm really not sure what happened next as the first I knew of it was when the TV was very nearly ripped out of my hands by the cord, and out of the corner of my eye I see the table (quite a tall round, table with 3 legs) basically take flight, do a somersault and then land top facing down on my miniatures like a gigantic wooden blast template.

I just remember tuning cold when I saw what had happened. I had my scratch built 40k scale Squat Land Train in the middle. That thing was completely destroyed, but fortunately it was quite tall so it probably saved most of the stuff around it. A lot of other stuff got broken but most of it ended up being quite fixable in the end, I guess I was lucky in the sense that it could have been a lot worse.

I remember a friend of mine once had a tin of varnish spill in the back of a van when he was moving house which ended up leaking all over his plastic miniatures and turned them to goo.

I was working on a unit of Chaos Marauders once. For some reason, I got really, really upset at something, and threw one of my sneakers down our hallway. Beeline towards my painting desk. Where the sneaker promptly *BOUNCED* and took out the entire unit. Marauder bits *everywhere*. That was the last time I ever tried to start a WHFB Chaos army.

I left my army transport in the car for an extended amount of time warping all my sword and gun ends.

I was at a tournament run in a very small room. There was so little room between the rows of tables, you couldn't stand back to back with the guy behind you, you had to be adjacent. Well the guy playing on the table behind me was a rather large gentlemen, and he really didn't fit in such a space. I was playing imperial guard, and my trusty, beloved, ancient basalisk I have used for over a decade was deployed right at the board edge. As I finish deploying I turn to my right to see the large gentlemen bend over to reach something, and his posterior lands on, and envelopes my basalisk. It was like it happened in slow motion, I could only watch in horror as "bassie" was consumed by the dark moon. The guy clearly realized something was awry because he straightened back up. As he did so, my tank was sucked INTO the...canyon and snatched up off the table. It hung there, half out of this guys ass for a moment, before falling to the floor and breaking. There were no words to express my horror.

Wow, just wow. The amount of horror those poor guardsmen had to go through. I think it would be a lot like going through the eye of terror!

... eye of terror indeed....

Every single game I lose, my Techmarine gets his arm knocked off. It's kind of a running joke now. Someone asks me "how's your game going" and I reply "well, techmarine's still got his arm, so pretty good so far.

Mine is when an ex-girlfriend stole some of my deathworld veterans and ran them over with a lawn mower.But that was the way of the Psycho ex.It just made me mad because they were conversions from necromunda heavy weapons.I just thought they looked more apporiate with more portable HW than the old pulled behind a vehicle ones.At least i found a few parts and eventually got rid of the crazy lady.

Was basecoating an IP of IG, a chimera and 10 roughriders (riders, horses, and lances not glued). Beautiful day. Sprayed the roughriders first moved the box to a patio table. Started on the rest, HUGE gust of wind, I turn to the freshly painted dudes and watch them fly off the table in to my yard. Then I had to scrub dirt out of paint and re-spray.

One of my SM Dreads fell off a higher shelf and landed on about four Genestealers completely obliterating them. I was too busy laughing to really be that bothered.

Even in death, the alien will be vanquished etc etc

I beat the guy i was playing and so he 'accidently' pulled by inquistor apart, so i made him buy it off me and brougt another one. But no where near as bad as some of the ones on here :(
