As I'm still reeling from point 1 by Cornixt I vow never to look at this thread again. But before I depart, like Arlon it's the fact that my stuff is all over the house, my partner has found that her clothes wardrobe and under the bed with her shoes now share space with various terrain pieces. They have to go somewhere.Happy
hahaha, this thread kills me 'cause I'm reminded of Xander, who:

28. is so dedicated to a hobby from his childhood that he has infused his love and excitement of the hobby into his once (devoutly) unwilling girlfriend, who now gets excited about the hobby too.

not sure if that makes him a veteran or a fan, but it's true either way. Happy

I've done the same (though she was never "devoutly unwilling"). I feel guilty for making her stressed out by not having the time to finish her Wood Elves. She can't knock out units at the same speed I can.

2.9 actually remembers when gw surpported games that were not set in wfb or 40k universe
Ok gang. know I am a veteran....and I sometimes wear the beard to prove it Happy

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"
35. knows the location of every local gaming store within 4 surounding citys
wow
