You know you've played too much 40K when...

You know you've played too much 40K when...

 

You want to move through cover and ask yourself:

• is it -2 movement
• half M distance
• roll 2d6 pick the highest

You want to shoot some models near a wall. When do they get the cover bonus?

• touching the wall
• 1" within the wall
• 2" within the wall

You want to shoot some models in cover. You have to stop and ask "which happens again?"

• you subtract one from your hit roll
• your opponent gets a cover save

 

It usually hits me the first few games of a new edition.

 

What moments make you think you've been playing this game too long?

[Jolemai]

My phone automatically corrects "a" to "BA".

2D6 morale tests

[MARK0SIAN]

When you play a normal board game and wonder where the rest of the dice are!

[tychobi]

I still make sure my sponsons are aimed right

[Interrogator Stobz]

I had my first game of 9th in over a year and kept applying Kill Team rules in my noggin.

But yep,separating all the different editions rules has become really hard now.

[ThePenitentOne]

Wondering why terminators are rolling saves on a single die?

 

Wishing I could parry in combat.

…you long for the days when a humble warrior squad could glance a Land Raider to death

 

…you’re still in love with assault cannons because Rending was fun and it was A Good Weapon that could threaten nearly anything

 

…you remember when scarabs were a threat to anything with an armor value

 

‘Gee, I’d like to find a 3rd Ed rulebook and play a game of that, that sounds like it’d be fun’

 

…you sincerely think that VP scores should be in the range of soccer or hockey scores and not basketball.

 

I suspect the reason I’m tempted to get into Horus Heresy is because it has a lot of mechanics I miss, now that I think about it.

My heavily converted Death Guard bikers get me weird looks at the shop.

That's one of the reasons I enjoy 30k

When your dad walks by and shouts randomly ,,For the Emperor!'' when your painting as he picked up the que from your audiobooks (his english is not far developed)

When I’m doing a project around the house and use a tape measure, I’ll idly check the 6”, 12”, 18”, and 24” ranges.

[BloodyB]

When I still find 3" and 5" pie plates hidden away around the house, and sigh wistfully at the thought of using them again...

 

Or when I'm using the petrol strimmer to tidy the hedges and am quoting Dawn of War space marines.

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

The Pie Plates...oh how I miss thee...

[MegaVolt87]

When you look at random packaging and see how it could be used to make terrain. Then hoard said material and not doing anything with it for a long time. Its like being Smaug, but instead of gold its random garbage.

While not space marines my nephew and I still randomly shout "Stop for no-one!" at each other. For some reason in one on the DoW expansions the Imperial Guard Kasrkin would yell this every five seconds or so and it settled into a running joke.

Or when baking, you realize all the pies/ tarts are either 3' or 5' inches after you put them on the cooling rack. MFW

Hello yes mods I'd like to report a murder, the victim is m--oh wait, I'm a mod! :P

 

I picked up the Guide to Making Wargames Terrain at a HPB with the intent of actually building things. Guess who has not built a single thing out of that? Whatsoever? It me. 

[Burni]

I think me and my mate play half remembered rules for 9th ed moral and cover which are probably amalgams from multiple editions. God help us if we play other people.

[Slave to Darkness]

You know when you have been playing too long when you still accidentally call Fenris by its original name of Lucan instead.
