[@movieviking8271]

When i was 12 i argued with a GW employee that plasma was the stuff in blood and plasma in weapons was made up. He explained that plasma was actually the 4th state of matter etc, i ignored him. 8 years later i met him as part of a viking reenactment group. I remembered him and he didn't remember me. I went on to study chemistry and learn about plasma, he was a med student We became good friends and he was eventually a groomsman at my wedding 12 years after arguing with me in that GW store. We still take the mick and I call him "the sort of person to argue with a 12 year old" and he reminds me about Plasma. God bless that man.

Nurses will also talk to patients after the have passed, espcially palliative and hospice care nurses, after spending so much time with them and wanting to treat the people they have spent so much time caring for and developing a relationship with after they are no longer with them. They will continue talking to them after death until they are brought down and picked up by the funeral director or mortician.

I once left my almost brand new 40k 3rd edition boxed game under my bed with the lid off. The next morning i was rather upset to discover my cat (barely out of kittendom) had decided to do a massive shit in the middle of the box. The smell was so bad i had to throw the whole thing away and most of the minis were still on the sprues in the box. Damn cat.

[@MPC2160]

Years ago I used to play at a local game store. It was a great community but there was one guy who was "that guy". I was playing against him during the crazy days of 6th and 7th with my Guard against his Space Marines. His army was entirely proxy from a random variety of miniatures none of which actually came from GW as far as I could tell. His units had weapons they couldn't take, that were more powerful than they should have been, and were taken in numbers that made no sense. After my Imperial Knight got taken out by scouts wielding S8 krak grenades I realized the kind of game it was going to be. For the next game night I brought my beautifully painted, WYSIWYG, and completely legal list of Space Marines. The look on his face when he saw my army was hilarious and I just smiled. Funnily enough he stopped showing up shortly after that... There also was the time my Guard army got randomly allied up with Necrons, Tyranids, and Chaos Space Marines against the combined armies of Space Marines and Tau... There were a lot more of us than table space and we had to play giant 3v3 games with 1k points per player. Those were some of the craziest games I've ever seen. Sadly it took me 90 minutes to get there after work and I stopped going after a while.

I did not tell a girlfriend where the new game shop was locate at. She had been banned at the other shop due to trying to rush me out 2 hours into a RougeTrader event. So we did not want to her to follow us. Also I knew a Librarian was this kids newest model and was told not to kill it first. Well he happened to set it up right in front of my Havok squad and rolled 3 1's to save from the 3 lazcannon shots I shot because he left it out in the open all by itself. The kid then flipped the table, then proceeded to storm off then punch the storefront window.

Confession time! So about two years ago I really wanted to start my first Warhammer AOS army and decided to pick Ossiarch Bone Reapers because they looked cool and my parents knew about it so they took me to a GW store so I could buy my own army. I bought about 150ish dollars worth of miniatures and was so excited to start painting only I didn’t have any paints yet… I original plan was to just get paints on my own because I was just starting a new job but well a year and a half went by and most of them were still fully assembled with no paint. I had also lost interest in the hobby at this point so I ended up secretly throwing them all away (which I have come to regret). My parents still don’t know about it. For point of reference I’m 19 lol

[@Eruidraith]

I decided after calling my world eaters the wrong thing one too many times to refer to my warband as the *Word* Eaters. Obviously the butcher's nails are technology, and without books there would be no tech, so they resolved to devour every book in existence. No thoughts, no words, only vibes. AnPrim World Eaters! It was a fun bit, it made fighting my wife's Mechanicus and the Word Bearers with all their unholy grimoires very fun

[@roryhatfield6696]

I was playing seventh edition IG during a tournament when we were in eighth edition. I lost in the semi finals and afterwards one of the judges comes up to me and told me. I was mortified. My army won best painted and peoples choice award and I wanted to run away because I thought that everyone thought I was a cheater. I found out later on that no one realized except for that one judge and he just wanted me to know going forward because we had just started eighth edition

[@punkrockzoologist9449]

I guess my confession, similar to the one who only paints and doesn't play because they don't have many friends. I also only paint and don't play, and the reason is a). the game is too complicated and meta-focused, and I just want to put one of every unit on the table and have fun, and b). while I do have some friends who play, they live quite far away and at least one is not actually someone who would be fun to play against because I know they'd either be a sore loser or a bad winner. Also socialising is pretty exhausting for me, so that wouldn't be fun. I think I actually do enjoy the game, but there are just too many barriers to actually doing it.

[@sebastianwei7721]

Yeah, looking into OPR might be an option but finding players is hard.

[@SPACENOMADMALEV]

The French pronunciation of Genestealers is hilarious lmaooo I don't know if I can return to saying it normal now. Also I made a game for a girl that I liked..

[@jackofn0trades29]

I think that the process to create a space marine is so physically and mentally transformative and traumatizing for the astartes that it doesn't matter which gender the subject started out as. They're just going to be an ultraviolent slab of meat with some extra organs wrapped in the equivalent of tank armor anyways.

[@synthetic240]

If I ever run the TTRPG, I'd totally allow female marines. They'd still be super jacked and, in my headcanon, their uterus becomes a third Progenoid Gland. It might be interesting to explore what it means to be feminine in a hyper-masculine environment like that, especially given the "sterility". There would certainly be some questions about how particular Chapters handle things like dating, recreational sex, if male/female marines play special roles or have special gendered sub-groups. Then again, if I'm not also concerning myself with gay marine relationships, it's probably just as well to drop the subject and assume they're all just happy being brothers and sisters in arms, but are otherwise aromantic.

[@oilyalarm0614]

[@andrewharper1609]

As far as the KFC thing goes there was one staff member in the York store (we're back in the days of lead models here) who would bend slottabase tabs on his models on one of his teeth if they didn't fit snugly. Lead is malleable enough that you can just use your fingers or a pair of pliers so maybe he just liked the taste.

[@redfeildre349]

I went all in on 9th edition having only played a demo game of 40K. I have the Recruit, Command, Elite, and Indominues box sets as well as a number of odds and ends like 3 paint sets. They remain unopened as of now, the beginning of 10th edition... Is it bad I still want to get Leviathan?

[@SYLRMHA]

I played 3rd Edition waaaay back when it first released...and I absolutly hated it to the core. But all my friends were deeply into it so I just went along.

[@rononel8046]

With the guy from Chester, I probably know that guy because that's how I used to say it too. The Jenner-Stealers pronunciation comes from the pronunciation of "Gene" in Genesis (Jenner-Sis)

[@fragfmgill]

When i was 10 i watched a man in his 20's play a game of 40k against a 12 year old, through the game he gloated about how space wolves was the strongest. at the end he got so angry he picked up his opponents metal abbadon and bit its sword off. He got banned from the store but he would walk past 10 times a day on Saturday and look in.

[@dreadpiratedan]

i used to pronounce "chaos" as "chowse"

[@putti-whyyy]

Ok, I thought my dudes saved on 3s but they saved on 4s and I only noticed halfway through the game. By this time, I was too deep in the lie to correct myself and upset my friends. A week later, I sent a message to the group chat, which roughly said, "WhAt ThEy UpDaTeD tHe RuLeS nOw I sAvE On 4s ThAtS CrAzY" to this day they have no idea.

[@theladylunaravens]

Alright confession I didn't send because it needs context. I painted a Lady Olynder in this cool purple and blue theme. I was really proud of it even made a video for my store's KZbin channel (I own a hobby shop) and proudly displayed it with a QR code to the video. I again can't stress how proud I was with her paint job. In rolls a neck beard, he spends some time looking at the display case then walks up to me "are you Luna? The one that painted the Lady Olynder?" I am beaming and say yes, I'm excited thinking that this guy must of liked it! "You know you ruined it right?" My heart dropped I could barely stutter out a "what?" As I was trying to not have a full blown anxiety attack. "You ruined it, it's not a lore accurate paint job." He didn't explain further and just left. I was in such a shock and my employee couldn't believe that happened and told me to go get some ice cream. Anyways I now have a piece of paper taped to my wall in my studio that says "Paint your minis in a way that will piss off a Neck beard" I go out of my way to make wild and crazy paint schemes. When you started presenting for GW I was so happy because I finally had someone who also did unique paint jobs being shown off by GW.

@@theladylunaravens serves him right! He needs to learn that there's no right or wrong way to paint models of fictional characters. On the other hand, he might be undiagnosed autistic as one symptom of that condition is a very litteral interpretation of contexts.

[@nickdale81]

When my kids started to take an interest in my miniatures I used to make up daft names and silly voices for certain miniatures as many parents do with kids soft toys. I had an obnoxious French Ork chef, a useless Black Templar who just wanted to be with his secret Eldar girlfriend and an utterly inept tech priest who's augmentation kept falling off. My kids are a little older now but I still find myself doing this for my own benefit when I'm on my own in my hobby room

[@sewinlove_co]

I'm a 56-year-old woman who absolutely loves wargames and ttrpgs, and I also own a quilting and sewing shop. I don't fit in with most gamers and so I don't get many opportunities to play. I've tried going to D&D night at my FLGS and I have to say that they didn't live up to the F in that acronym. I really was not welcome at all. They seemed almost confused as to why I would want to play. I won't even consider going to the Warhammer shop to play. I'm thinking about starting a gaming group that will meet at my shop (I have a classroom that would be great for gaming), and I want to reach out to other people like me who don't fit in with the regular gaming community. It's strange being an outcast from a community that is considered fringe. PS: I also have dyscalculia and find Warhammer extremely difficult, so I much prefer OPR.

[@AsgeirrSpjuth]

Hey! I'm sorry for you! And as sad as it is, I think a pretty large part of the community got some toxic masculinity problems. Alternative gaming groups is a great idea, that I think a lot of people would love!! I hope you do start one and that it catches on! Best of luck!

[@DeadFishTheKing]

I'm very dyslexic and really struggle to read through the rules; I've been avoiding playing for like 3 years out of fear of messing it up Luckily my local gaming store is really chilled and I've managed to find a group who have been nothing but welcoming; I hope you're able to find your crowd or set up your own! I'd love to see your hobbies collide, 40k faction themed quilts would be awesome!

[@SonsOfLorgar]

I've seen 60+yo ladies slugging it out in convention tournaments like it was the war of the beard, with all the clout of a longbeard dropping knife ears as if Grugni himself was reciting the great book of grudges, and it was absolutely wonderful to watch🥲

[@empireempire3545]

This is such a heartbreaking story. I personally know many 50+ RPG players - and i cant imagine any of my friends having a problem with something like that. I guess it depends a lot on where one lives. For RPGs, consider maybe playing online?

[@wadekothmann431]

Don’t lose hope - I think the hardest part is to find your people, but they’re out there! I didn’t game for a good 15 years after moving across the country for work/starting a family, but finally being more open about my interests with coworkers and acquaintances led to formation of a ‘mature’ gaming group with them (ranging from late 30s to mid 50s women and men). I hope you can start up some games at your shop!

[@TimeTravelisBoring]

My partner once told her mom that I played Warhammer, describing it as "he paints little guys and makes them fight." My mother-in-law replied, "Well, do they mind?" My partner then had to explain that she was referring to plastic miniatures and dice. She had genuinely thought I painted some "little guys" and had them fight each other.

[@Paegis]

[@demonprinceofkhorne]

My confession: I haven’t won a single game of 40K since 2004. I play with my group, the best I’ve ever done was a draw a single time. I lose the rest. I go into a store to play, I lose. I tried to teach my girlfriend (now fiancé), and wasn’t going easy on her. I still lost. I lose every 40K game I play. I play several different armies and the result is always the same. A resounding loss for me

[@sebastianwei7721]

About a year ago while in a creative writing slump (big writer's block), I decided to brute-force my way out of it by writing a Warhammer meets My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fanfic. It wound up going over 10k words and has Twilight Sparkle and company team up with a bunch of Orks to kill Tyranids. It's the most viewed thing I've ever written despite being the one thing I never tell anyone is mine.

[@bradleydickinson290]

I was playing in a local store and we had a friendly tournament of 40k on the go across the summer. There was one player who was a very blatant cheat and everyone knew it but didn't want to say anything or do anything about it. He would always roll his dice behind terrain, would always pick up the dice if you went to look and would pull off ridiculous rolls because of it (he had made all his reanimation protocol saves the entire tournament) and never missed a ranged attack. So when I came to play against him I had a friend of mine stand next to them and the cheat would ask my friend to go away repeatedly and every time he turned his back I would remove a necron from the board. And my friend would do the same every time he lied about his rolls and go give them to the store manager. I was the only one to win against him in the tournament as roughly 30% of his army 'must not have been put on the table'/went walkies. I called them out after the game and they confessed to his cheating antics and never cheated again. I also came last in the tournament 😂

[@MichaelLlaneza]

That's still a win.

[@Teyan0n]

[@somecheese]

A friend of mine was playing a game of 40k with one of the themed 40k dice sets for their faction. The dice rolled so abysmally poorly that they took a photo right there of the dice and their box and listed them on eBay with the description shaming them for their failure.

[@TYPHON13KTA]

Confession: in the early 90’s my roommate/long time friend showed me WHITE DWARF and explained 40 k to me. I laughed and called him loser and nerd for a couple years. Then I got a rare disease and was hospitalized for close to a year. He brought me the Grey Knights Omnibus when he came to visit. I just laughed at him. But he got real with me and said “if this is something that brings me joy, and you’re my friend, why hate on what I love?” This made sense and I apologized. I read the book and was blown away. Now I read Black Library books, listen to audiobooks, more then half my KZbin and Reddit feeds are all 40k, im mostly into lore ( because my illness messes with the muscle control of my hands, so building and painting are really hard for me, although I did manage to cobble together a small space wolf force) now I’m a huge warhammer40k nerd, and even have a custom embroidered ball cap that says “For The Emperor” on it! But I’ve never painted a mini or played a game… I want to, just where I live in Hawaii there are no games or 40k events to attend. Great job on another original idea for a YT vid about 40k.

I took up 40k once more, after giving it up for 20 years or so. As one does. We were a whole crew, small town nerds and weirdos, connected by hobby and our love for loud music. Club shut down, we moved on, all the stuff that life brings. But then, I felt the brush itch. So I rung up my old mate, asked if he still has my space marines. He did. And my mates marines as well. And his chaos. And some 'nids. And a bunch of imperial guard. And a decent chunk of orks. And some fantasy minis too. And two bits boxes, chock full of stuff. And I inherited the lot! And that's only half the story. Turns out, I'm an ork player. I was just too young to realise that back then. And both I and another mate moved from a small town to a bigger one, and we keep in touch. So I took all his marines, and added all of my former ones, and some new primaris guys, all freshly painted as 90s style ultramarines, and presented them to him for his b-day. There were tears. But we have yet to play, as this happened just before 10th came out!

The first time I stayed over I tried painting with him and when he left the room, I spilled a fresh bottle of Aethermatic Blue all over the couch, a blanket, and the carpet. He came back and we both panicked, I managed to clean all of it except for the blanket which turned out to be a family heirloom. We ended up blaming it on his cat, his mom still doesn't know it was me to this day.

She does nowww

We as a community need to pay for Sugs therapy after reading some of these. The mini licker in particular lmao amazing video as always, had me cracking up and cringing the whole way through!

[@CalAndAly]

What a killer vid idea!!

[@evilgingerminiatures5820]

I think that's what her Patreon is for poor lass ;) ;)

[@euansmith3699]

I would have thought that licking greasy little dudes was more an Emperor's Children thing 😍

[@citizensmith42]

I got a free sisters of battle army, a while ago so the old metal ones. Played a game, turn 5 I (playing grey knights) was losing but it carried on. Turn 6 I was still losing but it carried on. Turn 7 I won. He threw his Celestine model across the room, scaring the crap out of someone on another table when it exploded on the wall near his head, and then he started scoping up all his models. I asked why and he said they were going in the trash. I said I'd take them and he just left without saying a word. A few years later I was talking to someone who said their daughter wanted to get into 40K, and wanted to do sisters, but they were too expensive and hard to find. I was happy to pass the army along!

[@marklindsey4112]

Not a confession as such, but back when I was around fourteen in the 1980s some mates and I persuaded the local youth club to host a 40K day. I personally spent the entire week before making terrain and getting minis painted, including a brand new land raider in a Crimson Fists design that I was so proud of. Cut to midway through the day and during the big battle Bob, the fella that ran the youth club, turns up at the table and begins showing an interest. He was a lovely guy, but he didn't know a thing about table top wargaming, which he proved immediately by taking a gun on the land raider and turning it towards the ork horde against which my Fists were battling. Of course the gun didn't swivel as it was glued in placed. I can still remember the snap and embarrassed silence which followed it. Bob's body has never been found to this day! *joke*

[@samprastherabbit]

😂 oh lordie... I guess that's why my mates never glue their tank guns down lol

[@Gigatoreador]

Number 6. „he swallowed it“? Those tech-thralls are full resin models. Ain’t those toxic? 👀

[@roguehobbies]

Probably.... 👀

[@ImitableChaor]

They're primarily dangerous because resin dust is extremely harmful for your lungs, but its probably not great as a food either. All I can tell you is that he has been back at the club several times since, and that the sounds of resin being masticated upon still haunt me in the waking world.

[@jamesjjameson1632]

8:43 This story is extra wild when you realize that the model he ate was Forgeworld resin, and him eating that probably took 5 years off of his life. Honestly, mad respect to that guy for the absolute power move he pulled.

[@sonicwingnut]

Yeah I was thinking god I hope he was using a Skitarii as a proxy for that model..

[@obtainablespatula5389]

5 years off his life but an eternity of being an absolute legend

[@g4fly4ever8]

That's what i thought, guy is insane

[@neilatherton4290]

Confession Number 7 is heart breaking. I'm 53. I dabbled in painting minis for things like HeroQuest back in the late 80s and early 90s, took a couple of decades off, and then got back into it early-to-mid-pandemic. My interest was mainly painting as it is a genuinely artistic outlet, but then got into gaming - Horus Heresy mostly, and now Blood Bowl and Conquest. Those two facets of the hobby compliment each other in a very obvious way. While my passion is more display painting, army painting lets you cleanse your palette and get reps in. Then playing with those little toys adds a whole other facet to the satisfaction. The painting and gaming communities have massive overlaps, and are hugely accepting. You want some friends who are accepting of what brings you joy? Dump the friends you have now, go to a FLGS, and play whatever games they're running. You'll have a new set of friends by the end of the weekend and will be much happier for it. Gate keepers suck. You do you. Fly that nerdy flag and own it.

[@Telmach]

I do the horrible no good very bad evil thing of making silicon molds of my models. I've always considered using chocolate in the molds since you can get it in various colors from the hobby stores. It would be really funny to just eat one of my 'models' in front of someone.

[@synthetic240]

I'm sure there's some food-quality paint out there too.

[@xenoryaluyik5902]

Do it

[@toomaskotkas4467]

That would double funny if you were playing a small game like combat patrol and ate every model of your army that got killed. I want to see the picture of the face of your opponent at the end of the game.

[@Void-wanderer]

You can also use some candy as some tokens. Some years ago we had a player in our Warmachine community who used m&m’s or skittles as Fury tokens(basically a magical resource in the game) which he ate when collected them from his beasts

[@peterplayingwithleadbrian5464]

We used to use sweets for warpstone in Mordheim. Noone won as we couldn't work out at the end how many each player found.

[@TStyx]

The biggest rumour in Blood Bowl is Vampires were tested with Amazons and therefore we're expecting Vampires to be released next. Does this mean it was all made up? That wold be the final nail in the coffin, haha!

[@thomasrobertson4213]

I immediately thought Vampires at the mention of Blood Bowl rumours…. Are there any others?

[@hammdogporkington3058]

Incredibly dorky confession, but I write short stories about my Ork warband, Da Tuffboyz. Every character model has their own name and personality and they're all friends and krump together. It started with a written retelling of my first game with the Combat Patrol and snowballed from there.

[@horuslupercal2385]

This was awesome, Louise...... Please do it again soon 😁

[@Cursethedawn]

I ruined the hobby for myself. I love watching painting vids and making gaming vids. So I created my own painting channel! But now I feel I need to record everything I paint and it's a pain to get everything setup and dialog and lighting etc, so I just don't paint anymore. :(

[@Mosaic117]

Number 7 is mood. I remember once calling a kid gay for playing warhammer at school (which is the height of irony as I absolutely love warhammer and am now in a loving relationship with my bf for the last 5 months) and I still feel so so terrible about the whole thing.

[@sebastianwei7721]

Sometimes being an asshole as a kid is part of the human experience.

[@ThatGuyW3s]

My buddy and I were in a small, casual local tournament, and he was just not having a great day. He had just started a depressive phase, had a fight with another friend the night previous, and pulled a tryhard in the first round who just absolutely pasted him. We got matched together in round two and he just could not handle my Knights due to not having enough anti-vehicle (he was playing Emperor's Children iirc). So I started cheating on his behalf. By the time I realized how bad a state he was in, I had an insurmountable lead already, so I started rerolling my own sixes, counted additional damage when he attacked by guys, and he got to blow up some big stompy Questoris and feel a little better about his skills.

[@ochoaE3]

I'm a little over the year into the hobby. But, this hasn't been my first time dabbling in it. I've known about Warhammer since the early 2000s. The mall I would go to with my friends had a Games Workshop inside. We sometimes would go in just to see the cool minis. One day (I was maybe about 13), I got brave enough to buy my own miniatures. So I walk into the shop and pick stuff out. I can't remember the exact box of minis I bought, but there were Space Marines, and I remember black and red being their primary colors. They weren't Blood Angels. I buy paints and some brushes and take my stuff to their little paint area and get started. I hated my paint job. Despite another kid similar in age to me looking over and saying it was pretty good, I was not convinced. I gathered my stuff, walked out the shop, out the mall and threw my stuff in the trash. All in all, I spent a bit over $80 that day. I look back and get a bit frustrated about a few things. The shop people knew I was a newbie. I wasn't told anything about primer (I do remember wondering why the paint wasn't sticking to the miniature). I didn't get a lesson or rundown on paint techniques. I wasn't recommended a starter set. Forward to last year when I again got brave, it was a different thing. The mall Games Workshop moved out of the mall and a few blocks away. I walked in, asked about the Space Marine starter set, the salesperson asked questions, even told me about the paint clinics in the shop that he hosts regularly, adding that he himself feels like he has a way to go with his painting. Totally different experience. And I am really enjoying myself now with this newfound hobby.

[@freelancerblitz2579]

Drank a pot of 90s Hawk turquoise to show a parent that the paint is non-toxic when painting in a gw store 😂

[@Sakurafire1]

I once beat a guy in Age of Sigmar in my first game back to the hobby and he started punching himself in the head and screaming at me in the middle of the gamestore. To this day I’m apprehensive against playing against strangers. Haha

[@monoperative]

In hindsight, maybe holding your cup under his eyes to catch his tears was a wrong move XD

[@Wastelander2281]

Confession 3: those times you play with the models may be your subconscious attempt to create a story, so after you have "played" you should write it down like a story and you might end up with a whole novel one day!

[@bitzbox]

I have one of the old citadel inks from the late 90s that I sometimes open up just to smell as it's pure nostalgia

[@bossrutgob7609]

My only shameful confession is that I didn't kill Erebus enough in my games of Horus Heresy.

[@RedGeist]

I still feel like I got away with a naughty thing... by being invited to play on the Warhammer TV twitch stream a few years ago, and all of my Stormcast had Malifaux basing elements on their bases. Japanese shrines, lanterns, road markers, etc. I didn't say anything because more than anything, I thought it was amusing that no one noticed or asked.

[@SonsOfLorgar]

Yeah, when it comes to offbrand details, I fully support the don't tell if nobody asks principle. Especially with GWs pricing policy since they became a publically traded stock company.

[@Blacknight8850]

I don't think GW minds when it comes to basing materials (since they don't sell much basing stuff themselves) it's more if you've got 3rd party parts or proxies for the models themselves.

[@jaanikaapa6925]

Confirmed, Space Wolves are the Paw Patrol now.

[@pietrogigliotti8365]

Regarding confession 8 and 12, I've actually invited a girl for a first date to show her the army i was painting at the time and to play some mario kart. And after 13 years we're still together! So, yes it WORKS!

[@BarokaiRein]

Wait, horus heresy mechanicum stuff is resin, is it not? Dude ate and swallowed proper poison, not just plastic.

[@PhasedPlasmaPainting]

If Eric Cartman played Death Guard (which I feel like he probably would) he'd totally have done that same thing.

[@twitchybristles]

That or something Inquisition-heavy. RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH

[@PhasedPlasmaPainting]

@@twitchybristles true! threatens exterminatus on an entire world if his mom doesn't buy him the latest iPad. totally fits haha

[@minitings9489]

If I've painted a mini I'm particularly proud of, I'll take it with me to bed so I can lie there looking at it before I put the lights out.

[@Cerviathrax]

A bit of background context for this, I have had (and since had surgery to correct) a brain tumour. When losing a game with a friend and not feeling like carrying on to the finish, I have sat down mid-game and used the classic "ahhh my brain, I'd better pack up" because somehow I felt this was preferable to being seen as a sore loser? They then concernedly said the game would be called a draw and helped me pack up ... On the flip side of using my illness to advantage I've had it before where it's made someone being rude to me feel bad XD As I have also outdone lung cancer before the brain tumour (I have exceptional luck as I'm sure you can tell just waiting on radiation poisoning to get the hat trick in) my friend group is very jokingly derogatory to each other and one of my newer friends whilst we were talking hobby stuff and disagreeing on lore details spoke the phrase "Shut up, I hope you get cancer" again to make sure this was made as a joke and wouldn't have caused a stir at all within us, however as soon as that was said everyone in the conversation began laughing hysterically myself included, my friend couldn't figure out what was so funny until another member of our group got it together and said "Dude you DO know he has had cancer right?" at which point he fell gobsmacked said he felt like 'expletive' and began packing up. I assure him it was fine and I actually like people making fun of it since no-one dares to and I don't get it since I'm still alive, but yeah we still wheel that out as a reminder when we feel like being a bit cruel. So this final one isn't Warhammer related but its a running joke amongst my friend group wherein I was participating in a card game pre-release event, and whilst hand shuffling and sitting opposite a window, inadvertently gave my opponent an epileptic seizure. I'm ashamed to say I was declared the game victor as he could not return to the table within 10 minutes disqualifying him.

[@Sergiocalvominiatures]

So funny video, haha. I recognize that the way my friends and me in Spain pronounced "Genestealers" in the 90's made for long conversations...

[@thum-nales]

Have you tried using d6 with different colored sides instead of relying on numbers? Instead of “Hits on 4+” for you it might be best if it was “Hits on Blue+” … I know someone that, I swear, can almost taste color and I’m pretty sure this is something that she would do instead of bothering with numbers even though she is actually really good with numbers, too. Really fun video though I’m pretty sure these weren’t the “read all of them” that I, at first, feared you were actually going to do :-)

[@SonsOfLorgar]

That's a great idea!

[@Winterydee]

Crop Dusting is when a person farts(hopefully silently) and then walks past someone else, so that they smell the stank and the person who farted does not.

[@KateHolden]

The only warhammer thing I've done that seems to impress other women is Yndastra. Lesbians love Yndastra. This... May not be so effective for men trying to impress straight women.

I stepped on my younger brothers tyranid warriors and crushed it luckily I was able to fix it with plastic glue
