Not quite related but here goes: I have a Bloat Thrall known as Lord Chunky (some of you way have already heard of him), he is very well painted as is the entirety of my Cryx and i am almost fond of him. Any way, to continue, i was getting him out of his transport box to either do a bit of work on or to access the Bonejack underneath when somehow he slipped through my fingers. It is worht mentioning that i am around 6ft plus tall and due to how i was holding him he was about 4'-4'6" up from the hard laminate floor. As i felt him fall and saw him plummet the one thought going through my head was
NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, my heart stopped and i could only stare in mortified horror as he hit the ground, bounced twice and then rolled about 5 feet. Rushing over i prepared myself for the worse, knowing the incredible ease with which metal models chip. The total result: one tiny stud on his helmet and the top of his guns muzzle chipped. Since then i have loved citadel paints above all others.
As for humorous moment during games.... Well then, During one Apocalypse game i was the grand over commander for my side and as such one of my opponents objectives was to wipe me out. I had deployed on the far flank on the outskirts of some ruins. I had my command squad with a standard, heavy flamer, medic, vox and a
PS and
PP asn an
MOO and the carapace armour upgrades, a Lord commissar with a powerfist and carapace armour, a platoon consisting of 1 platoon command squad with a medic, standard, sniper, vox and bolt pistol, 2 infantry squads, one with a vox and a plasma gun and the other with a vox, a special weapons team with 2 demo charges and a melta gun and a lascannon squad, a veteran grenadiers squad with the demolitions and grenadiers upgrades and a melta gun, 6 Ogryns, 4 Ratling snipers and an armoured sentinel with a
PC and a HKM.
Facing me is an entire company of
DA accompanied by supporting elements from the Deathwing and Ravenwing. They commence an open assault on my position. By the time the finally reach and overun the position only 5 marines are left alive. Over the course of the game
i have killed off almost an entire chapter and a half of DA, as well as fighting off flanking attacks from orks and facing down a C'tan and an eldar thingy (not sure what it was

) as well as having to divert my veteran and command squads to the centre of the battlefeild. Result: the enemy shocked and a drawn game despite the fact that we lost half our force when the shadow sword was blown up by a freakishly lucky lascannon shot in the first turn of the game.
