al-hashut:

  1. Doesn’t play Khorne, but still has the urge to paint all armour and details bright 'eavy metal red.
23

Viskar Zhragoth:

Ok gang. know I am a veteran…and I sometimes wear the beard to prove it :slight_smile:

Some comments:

16. (Willmark) How about 96.5%, and still has boxes in shrinkwrap or blisters in mint condition older than 80% of the people on the forums.

18. (Cornixt) Darn it, I ALWAYS do that, my friends just laugh about it now.

28. (Sojourn) Been there done that :cheers! All of MY frineds hated it though, because she kept beating them!

27. (Tommy H) Green bases for Necromunda always seemed wierd for most. But I belive (as it was told to me) that the reason they always based them in Goblin Green back then was actually really simple. In order to make sure that the printer who did the White Dwarf alwasy printed them with the right color, they put Goblin Green on all of the bases and the printer would adjust it to the right color, and all of the pictures would eb the right color then!

Ok, and now for a few of mine.

31. Doesn’t need Xmas to think of Red and Green on everything.

32. Can guess within a quarter of an inch on his guesses across the board (ie 36 1/4, 46 3/4, etc.) and be right on the head of the guy he targeted. (ask anyone at the Gamer’s Sanctuary Team Tounrament last weekend :hashut)

33. Can carry on a discussion about 40k, while playing WFB, reminds someone across the room abouta rule, and without interrupting himself eats his meal since he skipped his last one to get “one more game in on game day”

Obsidian:

  1. Feels old every time he walks into a games shop even thought he’s only 30 years old himself! :rolleyes:

    38. When somebody shows him a bit of a random model he knows immediatly which model that is.

    39. When rummaging through drawers finds a model and thinks: 'I own that? When the heck did I buy that piece of crap?!'
