I'm sitting here assembling marines from OABR when I accudentally squeeze one of the captain's parts too hard and PEW, there goes his power sword.

Hope he likes looted Tau weapons, cuz i've spend a damn hour searching around in this damn carpet of mine looking for his freaking sword.

Anybody on dakka ever lost an important bit? I hope I'm not the only one.

I don't really loose them, so much as find them later....

I lost a melta gun bit like 4 months ago, found it today. I was quite happy

Funny, I lost a melta gun as well and found it something like two months later. I try to do my work in an area that even if it goes flying, there isn't too much space for it to fly off. Plus I keep a fishing tackle box with bitz.

Worse missing bit I have is courtesy of a friend who sold me his Necron army quite affordably because he believes them totally unplayable in 5th.

The good man managed to "misplace" the scythe arm of his Nightbringer. I mean, seriously now, the thing's darn near as tall as the rest of the model. How dumb can you be?

The worst I ever lost was a Callidus Assassin's arm. I *know* it was on my work table and now...I...well, I'm fairly certain it's still in the house somewhere but other then that.

The worst I ever lost and found again was an entire Necromunda Escher gang in their original box, unpainted and ready to go. Was missing for about six months. It got to the point I was convinced some evil house guest had walked off with it or something.

...then I actually cleaned my side table by my reading chair which I do tend to allow to become rather cluttered with various books, papers, comic books, rule books from assorted game systems, and, well, yeah, a box of Necromunda Escher gangers all unpainted and ready to go.

...actually, on second thought perhaps my Necron friend is really a quite clever fellow and I'm sure the arm mistake is quite innocent and understandable and certainly doesn't reflect poorly upon his character, intelligence, or capability in this life.

7 original space wolf terminators, original long fangs box and a host of blood claws all circa early 90's.
gone, missing, lost in the warp for all i know.
i *think* they may be in the loft. i seriously hope so as they're all metal and loosing them would be painful i want to dig out my wolves for some SH missions.

I LOL'd hard at that. Those are some seriusly mutant children...

I always seem to lose things like meltaguns and plasma guns for my guard. They just vanish and I never see them again.

To quote the Channel 4 show, Peep Show: "I'm cancelling out of shame, like my subscription to White Dwarf"

Inside your mind, corrupting the pathways

I usually ping things off my table and can't find them even though the floor is smooth. Though there are tonnes of boxes heaped all over the place (I have the small box room for my models but have to compete with all the boxes from all our other stuff as well as we don't have a loft).

I did find some ghoul heads the other day though. Just sitting out in the middle of the floor as well... they were not even hiding.
