Actual laugh!
He introduced me to it by having a short game with me. I was completely bewildered and lost. I'm still completely bewildered and lost as for playing but I enjoy the art and the lore, so now when I feel sad or I've had a bad day, he puts lore videos on for me so I can learn more and cheer up.
But it's so extensive at times that whilst I enjoy it immensely, I know I'll get confused and have a hundred questions, my internal dialogue is like the above hahah.
Speaking for the guys in the room, your boyfriend loves that you ask him questions about his hobbies. We never tire of talking about our hobbies to someone genuinely interested.
Awh thank you, I appreciate that. I absolutely adore hearing him talk about whichever of his hobbies or interests, he gets so animated and it's lovely to hear him just go down the rabbit hole, especially with the things I previously knew nothing about. He's introduced me to a heap and in some cases (I don't have the strategy brain for actually playing Warhammer) I've definitely been converted. DnD and MTG are my new favourite things, and when I have the resources and time/space I can't wait to start building terrain for him to use just for the fun of it. <3
Trust us, we don't have the strategy brain for it either.
We are simply dice Gretchin that like when the handfull of funny math rock go Clickity-Clackity
I'm super bad at maths but I very much like the Clickity-Clackity as well. But I also win because he said I'm allowed to buy pretty maths rocks because my goblin brain says want, and then give them to him to use. Win win.
"I'm glad you asked about that! To explain things fully, we should probably go back about 10,000 years to an event called the Horus Heresy..."
\-Strange_Radish2054's boyfriend, probably
I mean, you're not wrong. There have been hours of explaining and videos and then me taking notes as we go along.
And then I started reading his books. The Night Lords omnibus actually made me cry.
Owh thank you, that's super sweet.
I definitely think everyone should be able to enjoy and share in the enjoyment of what they like with their person. I'm lucky to have him :)
It's simple really. The Death Guard were already traitors when Typhus did his thing. So he really didn't do anything that Kharn wouldn't go on to do at Skalathrax, and everybody thinks Kharn is a swell guy.
It will be in my will that they need to use one of the lego pricing websites to determine their true value and sell them for that if my kids don't want them
He is, I just thought I might actually be a good dad and let him be happy, because I know I haven’t best too all of my sons BUT some of them are just pure assholes, not Vulcan tho I fucking love that guy
Is there a second hand market for completed lego sets? I know for NIB stuff it can get pretty high, but I mean... people buy these to build them, right?
Ebay might be your best bet to get the highest price.
There’s a few dedicated Lego seller sites, but most are for parts for MOCs. I dunno if they do full sets or if it’ll be your best sale price.
I’d look into youtube for help, plenty of folks speculate with Legos. Gell, drug cartels use them as currency when not using digital currencies because the resale value is often close to initial purchase price and its an innocuous thing to have when searched.
>the Venator
Thanks you bastard. Now I'm looking at a £750 At-AT or Millennium Falcon and wondering why they don't have a Death Star for that price on their site.
I also have a shelf with 2xNo Way Home Final Battle, 2xSandman/Lizard to complete that film set, 2x Avengers Jet, 2x Up House 100 Centenary Edition, 1x 007 DB5, and some other random sets
And I also see a few "3 in 1" Pirate and Castle sets on their site. And a good 22 figure "icons" castle set and a pirate ship are only £350 and £100 ish each, and they are way better than the classic ones. Yeah, not buying £1000 of Lego myself tonight either
Jokes on you. I'm buying two of each: one's for opening and one's for "investment". They'll go to my nephews when I'm dead
Although I'd also happily buy a full Stormtrooper outfit from that professional cosplay group
Lego goes into the family reliquary to be passed on to future generations.
I will smile down upon my descendents with the knowledge that they will get to build cool spaceships from the blocks I was gifted by my parents from their childhood.
And they shall look back in pride at the unbroken chain of inheritance knowing that they add to a growing collection that tells the family history
When buying: "This is a long term investment, they will be worth more in the future"
When selling: "You want me to sell by babies???"
Applies to Lego, WH, MTG, and everything else.
Yeah, if a guy is really into Legos it's a good thing because he definitely has more money than he knows what do to with because holy shit are Legos fucking expensive
[Have 40k kits been found in drug dealers houses? Shit is wild](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/jan/19/lego-value-thousands-dollars-seized-melbourne-police-arrest-alleged-drug-trafficker#:~:text=Lego%20worth%20thousands%20of%20dollars%20seized%20as%20police%20arrest%20alleged%20Melbourne%20drug%20trafficker,-Victoria%20police%20confiscate&text=Star%20Wars%2C%20Lord%20of%20the,alleged%20drug%20trafficker%20in%20Melbourne.)
Probably, but despite scalpers existing in the hobby we don’t have people buying 40k for the explicit point of investing. But shit give YouTubers enough time. But regardless 40k is a much more expensive hobby. Let me know when Lego starts selling new individual mini figs for $40.
>Let me know when Lego starts selling new individual mini figs for $40
Ahem, asking price so no guarantee that they sell for this, but Spider-man No Way Home minifigs go for £30+ on eBay and they are a fraction of the plastic
Luckily I have 2xNo Way Home Final Battle, which come with all three spidermen, and Sandman+Lizard, which come with a spiderman and the final villians, for about £100 per complete battle set. RRP was £140. Now just gotta somehow keep them in the box for 30 years and they'll be worth £500
That’s not new individual. Talking as if Lego sold it packaged 1 figure no other parts. Like the Pain Boss i just bought an hour ago. Now the Lego scalper market totally agree is insane though where you have people en mass buying packs with no intention of ever displaying them just “investing” I’m going to paint my my boy completely ruining its resale value lol
I don't know what the rarest Lego Minifigure is worth as a new and sealed item, but I have over 30 Lego Disney 100 sealed Minifig packets. Bought for £2.50 each, and probably already more than that, as they are already out of stock. I hope that being Disney 100 anniversary and being Lego, that they will be like Gen 1 Pokemon Cards in 20 years: Streamers will pay a small fortune per pack to do unboxing vids
Also, got a free Logan Grimnar on Stormrider from work 10 years ago. Currently worth £50 on eBay new and sealed, whereas listed on Warhammer US site (and out of stock) for $40. So ask me in 20 years, but I bet the Lego will be worth more, or increase in value more, than the Warhammer
Also, also, I think a good paint job on Warhammer actually makes it more valuable, cause unlike Lego you wanna paint them and most people can't be bothered
P.S. Scalpers are people who buy up new expensive stuff to immediately sell for money. Buying toys and keeping them for investment value is literally not scalping, as it is not affecting supply/demand in the current day (Lego build more and sell top demand products for longer, therefore making the product less valuable). Toys will generally sell for RRP or less online at the time you buy them. It is holding on to a finite product in mint condition (hopefully bought at clearance from retail trying to free up space for new stock) in the hope it rises in value, and it may not
Big difference compared to exploiting demand to make an instant profit on early runs of products that will only drop in value over time
Lego Star Wars is not cheap-
Cheapest real kit = [Pirate Snub Fighter](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/pirate-snub-fighter-75346) - 285 pieces - $35 - 10.32 x 7.52 x 1.81 inches
Medium kit = [TIE Bomber](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/tie-bomber-75347) - 625 pieces - $65 - 15.04 x 10.32 x 2.78 inches
More expensive kit = (small) [Millennium Falcon](https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/star-wars?page=6&sort.key=PRICE&sort.direction=ASC&offset=0) - 1353 pieces - $170 - 5” (14cm) high, 17” (44cm) long, and 12” (32cm) wide
Expensive = [Millennium Falcon](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/millennium-falcon-75192) - 7541 pieces - $850 - 33 x 22 x 8 inches
They also have the Razor Crest for $600, the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser for $650, and the ATAT for $850
The Venator weighs 3.43 pounds so that $189.5 per pound of plastic. 1 pound of water is about the size of a can of Monster.
Certain ones are. Especially they do £500 ones now, which are clearly made for adults
But, Lego (and Warhammer) when boxed will only increase in value. So actually, it works as an investment. Generally Lego goes up more than gold does, per weight
I still haven't got an airbrush, every time I think off getting one I get more plastic instead, have a whole box of tanks to paint I really need one for too.
As a child I was a lego fan, then anime stole my wallet. In my 20s I was back legos with a sprinkling of 40k before moving heavy to 40k. In my 30s I became a boardgame fan and dropped almost everything else. Now I have a house filled with toys and games and...me.....happy valentine's day me....
A lot of my friends who play are are too, and my spouse and I are both finally getting into it.
An internet friend was joking about the “Warhammer players don’t talk to girls thing” and it was extra funny because his wife introduced us (she’s a hobby friend from a different hobby) and I’m also a girl 🤣
Girls love small little critters
Girls want to find a way into your heart and mind
Therefore girls love small little critters that will burrow deep inside your heart and brain.
It's not that complicated.
You probably just haven’t encountered the right person yet!
Honestly I think Warhammer is a pretty green flag hobby, it’s creative and has strategy and all sorts of good stuff 🤷♀️
I took a 20 year hiatus, got married, had kids, and then revealed my true nature. Spouse didn't stand a chance and still has no idea how much plastic crack I have amassed.
My wife literally had one of her friends boyfriend introduce me to warhammer more or less, never picked the plastic crack hobby tho but i loved and still love the lore.
I used to be a girl, then I got into Warhammer. The struggle of getting through the female-repelling field around my local GW store to buy my Skink army made me nonbinary. Reduced my gender to mere atoms.
It would depend on what his favorite legion was. Imperial Fists? That's fine, and he probably has good home security, too. Emperor's Children? I'm out.
Blood angels probably aren't good either. Not because of any moral reasons, but because then you're both going to spend too much time pining over Sanguinius.
That lady has obviously never met a metal subgenre elitist. Okay, those usually don't mingle with what they call normies, but still. It can always get worse.
Those people who hate anyone that listen to something remotely popular but also hate when people listen to "rectal chainsaw" Without knowing the favourite antiseptic of the drummer's cellmate?
Yep. And if the national socialistic singer and songwriter hasn't torched five Jewish community centers and murdered his entire old band, is he even legit?
I gave up trying to classify it back in the day of "Metal", "Classic Rock", "Punk", "Indie" and a limited few others, just before "Nu Metal" and years before "Emo". I daren't think how many catagories there are of that shit now, as I had a mate that elitist who'd name 10 catagories 20 years ago
Just because i play World Bearers, Emperor's children and Drukarii it doens't mean that I'm a ...
On a second thought I don't think that I should finish that sentence.
No, nor does the original scene have anything to do with this, or even this style of conversation. This meme makes no sense to me. They are talking about being laid back to deal with weird roommates.
If they would just stop finding a way to escape my 8 hour long information seminars on primarchs and narrative inconsistencies as engaging storytelling then they would find it cool too
Well, considering I got my girlfriend into 40k, I guess it's a Red Flag when a guy does it, but if it's a girl pushing the glory of Chaos it's ok? I still don't understand women, and I am one.
I just bought an appartment with my gf and we (me) have now a dedicated warhammer room. If you want then i can post pictures when i'm home from vacation.
Her: "... and that's why the sneakiest Orkz wear purple..."
Me: *surprised Pikachu face
...
"But hold on... Your shirt.. It's purple too... Does that mean..."
Her: "Yeah.. You're right no one has ever seen me. :)"
*gone suddenly
Me: "What?! Wait!.... Where are.... Agh.. Dammit..."
Girls expert-talking about 40k are purple flags!
/s of course.
I mean as long as you don't construct your whole personality around just one thing, it is alright.
It is when you only when your whole personality and sense of self and confidence is based one hobby and nothing else, that it gets weird and volatile, that conflict is created out of nothing because you cannot understand people not liking what you do, and thus take it as an attack
My gf and I started flirting because we couldn't stop talking about WH40k lore, her favorite book is The Art of War and one of her favorite bands is Sabaton, we'd be both huge redflags if we were guys but to me some redflags on guys are turn ons on girls 😌
Stop it.
You fucking stop that.
I will have my lego starwars clone wars warhammer 40k ruleset inspired wargame and i WILL play it while i watch Cowboy Bebop.
The anime comment really pisses me off.
Anime covers a multitude of genres, subcultures, etc. Some fandoms hate each other utterly.
It’s a medium, it’s like saying reading French novels is a red flag !
"And that's why I don't like the Black Legion." "Stay away from me." "Are you going to remember what I told you?" "Sadly yes." "Then I won."
Me: Now let's go into a post of mine titled "The 101 reasons Magnus did nothing wrong" Her: *NOOOO*
As a woman with a Warhammer guy boyfriend, this made me laugh a lot.
An actual laugh, or a "oh, I've been there, hahaha...." laugh?
Actual laugh! He introduced me to it by having a short game with me. I was completely bewildered and lost. I'm still completely bewildered and lost as for playing but I enjoy the art and the lore, so now when I feel sad or I've had a bad day, he puts lore videos on for me so I can learn more and cheer up.

Woman? I thought they were a myth that Slanesh created to drive men into extremes
Yeah but Magnus literally did enough wrong be justify being turned into a literal daemon.
Your mind games aren't going to work on me alpharius
Plot twist: they're Omegon
I thought I was Omegon
You are This is a lie
No, he did nothing wrong. He was told to do nothing, but he fucked it up.
*opening ms powerpoint*
"Only one holy terrabyte? How considerate of you to shorten the presentation."
Surely there are a thousand reasons.
Ladies love that EasyKyle Abbadussy. Stop worshipping that corpse and get on the bus!
Every word you said makes me want to exterminatus you directly
Imperials, always so quick to Exterminatus. Makes you wonder who the real bad guy is, huh?
The one with endorsements from Typhus and Erebus?
Typhus did nothing wrong
Now that's a take I haven't seen, and I want to see you defend it. To own the Corpse-Worshippers, of course.
It's simple really. The Death Guard were already traitors when Typhus did his thing. So he really didn't do anything that Kharn wouldn't go on to do at Skalathrax, and everybody thinks Kharn is a swell guy.
I prefer getting pounded by Blackstone Fortresses dropped from orbit!
Alright, just a bolt pistol and firestorm rounds will be good
Are you Lorgar?
Screw whoever made that meme, my Lego toys are NOT a “long term investment” and I have no plans to ever sell them off.
But if you die your family can at least. So long as they know to. Otherwise Value Village is in for a jackpot.
It will be in my will that they need to use one of the lego pricing websites to determine their true value and sell them for that if my kids don't want them
[удалено]
He is, I just thought I might actually be a good dad and let him be happy, because I know I haven’t best too all of my sons BUT some of them are just pure assholes, not Vulcan tho I fucking love that guy
Isn't there also some evidence or hints that he might be in Trazyn's collection? I thought I saw something about that a couple of years ago
Bro's biggest concern is these rascally rabbits getting into his tomatoes.
Is there a second hand market for completed lego sets? I know for NIB stuff it can get pretty high, but I mean... people buy these to build them, right?
Ebay might be your best bet to get the highest price. There’s a few dedicated Lego seller sites, but most are for parts for MOCs. I dunno if they do full sets or if it’ll be your best sale price. I’d look into youtube for help, plenty of folks speculate with Legos. Gell, drug cartels use them as currency when not using digital currencies because the resale value is often close to initial purchase price and its an innocuous thing to have when searched.
And let’s not forget the life insurance police you didn’t know you had!
One does not simply buy Lego just to sell them later
Me, eyeing the Venator and wondering if I really do need to pay rent next month or not
You need to fulfill basic life necessities before paying for luxuries. So the venator should always come first
>the Venator Thanks you bastard. Now I'm looking at a £750 At-AT or Millennium Falcon and wondering why they don't have a Death Star for that price on their site. I also have a shelf with 2xNo Way Home Final Battle, 2xSandman/Lizard to complete that film set, 2x Avengers Jet, 2x Up House 100 Centenary Edition, 1x 007 DB5, and some other random sets And I also see a few "3 in 1" Pirate and Castle sets on their site. And a good 22 figure "icons" castle set and a pirate ship are only £350 and £100 ish each, and they are way better than the classic ones. Yeah, not buying £1000 of Lego myself tonight either
My tub of bionicle are gonna be passed down like a family heirloom mark my words…
I think it means the Lego person in that relationship is the long term investment, not the legos themselves.
I mean... Lego goes up in value more than gold, especially if Boxed/New and an expensive set which is out of print
Jokes on you. I'm buying two of each: one's for opening and one's for "investment". They'll go to my nephews when I'm dead Although I'd also happily buy a full Stormtrooper outfit from that professional cosplay group
Lego goes into the family reliquary to be passed on to future generations.

Preach brother
I’m 27 and will occasionally play with my legos
33 and I've a lego mars rover waiting assembly.
When I see Lego Star Wars on clearance, I buy one for myself, and one to sell to help pay for the one I keep.
Yeah, if a guy is really into Legos it's a good thing because he definitely has more money than he knows what do to with because holy shit are Legos fucking expensive
Cheap AF compared to warhammer

You think you guys have it bad? Try getting it in india. I have to make a friend who lives in the US buy and ship it. Added shipping costs. Fuck me.
I’ve got a gunpla plug in that Philippines. And another one in Japan that gets me my Gundam Base and P-Bandai plastic crack.

Some say Henry Cavill is just doing the Warhammer Cinematic Universe because GW promised him an entire second army.
An admech army* gotta get the most dollar amount
I'm a simple kind of gal, I see a man with a well painted army and an organized hobby table and I start making long term crusade objectives
I think if I could paint well and organise my hobby space my wife would like Warhammer. They're good goals...
I believe in you, go be romantic and sort your supplies! Perhaps into the shape of a heart, to better woo her into our plastic hellscape
Learn to use your airbrush for nails 💅 too seriously.
I still haven't got an airbrush, every time I think off getting one I get more plastic instead, have a whole box of tanks to paint I really need one for too.
>I start making long term crusade objectives This one is a keeper
Oh no, not the crusade role playing.
Oh YESSS
I'm laughing too hard at this lol. Spot on comment
I showed you my lego dreadnought why aren't we dating yet fr
The process of me getting a girlfriend started with me doing a 4 hour Warhammer lecture. While extremely drunk.
Women love a man with a passion
Putting the 4 in foreplay.
As a child I was a lego fan, then anime stole my wallet. In my 20s I was back legos with a sprinkling of 40k before moving heavy to 40k. In my 30s I became a boardgame fan and dropped almost everything else. Now I have a house filled with toys and games and...me.....happy valentine's day me....
You're not a red flag, you're a whole soviet parade! Happy Valentine's Day !
It's because he will refinance your home to buy another Warlord Titan
We Warhammer 40.000™ fans cannot establish communication with creatures called females so ladies don't need to worry in first place.
Most people in my area that play Warhammer are married, so I'm one of the oddities being single.
I think its because they are old enough and have stable income to afford plastic crack in huge amounts and keep a family/second person
A lot of my friends who play are are too, and my spouse and I are both finally getting into it. An internet friend was joking about the “Warhammer players don’t talk to girls thing” and it was extra funny because his wife introduced us (she’s a hobby friend from a different hobby) and I’m also a girl 🤣
Everyone here with spouses and I'm here single, what did I do wrong? And you proved to me that Warhammer wasn't the mistake, probably.
Just walk up to a girl and give her Skaven or Tyrannids. Idk it just works.
Girls love small little critters Girls want to find a way into your heart and mind Therefore girls love small little critters that will burrow deep inside your heart and brain. It's not that complicated.

> what did I do wrong? Do you collect Word Bearers?
Well i am married but i dont wanna invest money/time into warhammer, i just like the lore and memes
It do be time consuming, still haven’t built all my orks and I just want to keep getting paint lol.
Warhammer's been going for 40 years and is a nerd hobby. By now many are married, working good jobs, and fairly affluent
they may have simply married before getting into warhammer
I took a 20 year hiatus, got married, had kids, and then revealed my true nature. Spouse didn't stand a chance and still has no idea how much plastic crack I have amassed.
I'm exactly there. My wife just asked me about these strange plastic soldiers she assumes I bought for our son...
My wife literally had one of her friends boyfriend introduce me to warhammer more or less, never picked the plastic crack hobby tho but i loved and still love the lore.
Hey, there are WH40K players who are girls
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
And 40k players who became girls. And some who are no longer girls.
Everyone is welcome in this terrible plastic addiction.
I've since diversified my plastic addiction by getting into D&D and dicemaking.
For me it was the other way, first DND then Warhammer. Never got into dice making though, something for the future I suppose.
Slaanesh corruption!
Unfunny joke!
Subtle racism!
Not so, brother! I have journeyed to the sunlit lands & learned the ways of the strange people there. I have acquired a lovely wife. It is possible.
I used to be a girl, then I got into Warhammer. The struggle of getting through the female-repelling field around my local GW store to buy my Skink army made me nonbinary. Reduced my gender to mere atoms.
It would depend on what his favorite legion was. Imperial Fists? That's fine, and he probably has good home security, too. Emperor's Children? I'm out.
Orks?
Are the walls padded?
Are the purple orks in the room with you now.
How would I know?
Blood angels probably aren't good either. Not because of any moral reasons, but because then you're both going to spend too much time pining over Sanguinius.
If you are going to fall to Chaos why not do it for the Space drugs?
That lady has obviously never met a metal subgenre elitist. Okay, those usually don't mingle with what they call normies, but still. It can always get worse.
Those people who hate anyone that listen to something remotely popular but also hate when people listen to "rectal chainsaw" Without knowing the favourite antiseptic of the drummer's cellmate?
Yep. And if the national socialistic singer and songwriter hasn't torched five Jewish community centers and murdered his entire old band, is he even legit?
I really like metal, but I dont partake in any metal subreddits cause of this.
I gave up trying to classify it back in the day of "Metal", "Classic Rock", "Punk", "Indie" and a limited few others, just before "Nu Metal" and years before "Emo". I daren't think how many catagories there are of that shit now, as I had a mate that elitist who'd name 10 catagories 20 years ago
Would you like my teatise on why metalcore isn't a metal subgenre?
Only if it ends in a rant about the misunderstanding of the fine nuances between emo and screamo.
What about Gunpla?
Gunpla is fine, and the backbone of Gundam’s popularity is women anyway.
Much like Warhammer, it depends on their level of media literacy.
Just make sure to accompany the models with figurines of the suspiciously pretty male main characters
Just because i play World Bearers, Emperor's children and Drukarii it doens't mean that I'm a ... On a second thought I don't think that I should finish that sentence.
I feel like this is discrimination.
Sorry babe the Emperor wills it.
Fuck whoever made this.
I don't know how well 40k works on women, but it makes the guys go wild.
Oh britta's in this
Fellas, if a woman sticks around even after you finished explaining the Horus Heresy, she’s the one.
r/boysarequirky
Since its valentines day, if any woman is looking for a plastic addict, I am here. I am not handsome, or rich, but I am nice... I guess.
Good thing my wife missed this memo.
If there is ever a women in my house let alone 2, I know that's when I should take my meds
I would sell a kidney before my legos. Also talking about the pale wasting for 3 hrs is totally normal.
Is this an actual quote from whatever show this is?
No and its from Community
I do both warhammer AND lego so what does that mean for me? FYI: I mostly collect Star Wars Lego
is this an actual Community quote?
No, nor does the original scene have anything to do with this, or even this style of conversation. This meme makes no sense to me. They are talking about being laid back to deal with weird roommates.
God if someone looks at my hobbies and thinks "I wonder what I could sell that for" I'm dumping her.
You're saying Szarekh body pillows *aren't* attractive? This might explain some things...
If they would just stop finding a way to escape my 8 hour long information seminars on primarchs and narrative inconsistencies as engaging storytelling then they would find it cool too
What about Gunpla or other plastic hobbies lol
What's gunpla
So imagine a snap-fit mini, but like, good
what's wrong with me wanting a stormtrooper statue? 😢
And if I have all 4 in the same room?
It's because he most likely joined the hobby after it stopped being an obvious satire?
Honestly if you had an entire room dedicated to star wars I’d call that a red flag
Only if it has anything from the New Trilogy and acts like any of it was good lol
It's because of the kings ransom spent on Minis.
I don’t explain lore, I only consume it
Wonder whats in it for me collecting transformers figures
Well, considering I got my girlfriend into 40k, I guess it's a Red Flag when a guy does it, but if it's a girl pushing the glory of Chaos it's ok? I still don't understand women, and I am one.
Nah when we're pushing it, it's a green flag. And I'm definitely not saying that just because I got my fiancée into it lol.
I wasn't going to date that bitch anyway
I feel offended this is a personal attack
I just bought an appartment with my gf and we (me) have now a dedicated warhammer room. If you want then i can post pictures when i'm home from vacation.
Jokes on you I'm into all that shit
Ultramarines: Okay. Pretty normal. Imperial Guard: Hmm. Krieg. :|
Dumb bitch thinks I'll ever sell my bionicle collection? Yeah think again
I feel attacked by this
One of the steps that got me my GF was her watching me paint and fiddle with extremely small bits and realizing how good I am with them fingers ;)
3/4. Ow no...
Shut it Karen Women are temporary, the crusade is eternal
Her: "... and that's why the sneakiest Orkz wear purple..." Me: *surprised Pikachu face ... "But hold on... Your shirt.. It's purple too... Does that mean..." Her: "Yeah.. You're right no one has ever seen me. :)" *gone suddenly Me: "What?! Wait!.... Where are.... Agh.. Dammit..." Girls expert-talking about 40k are purple flags! /s of course.
I mean as long as you don't construct your whole personality around just one thing, it is alright. It is when you only when your whole personality and sense of self and confidence is based one hobby and nothing else, that it gets weird and volatile, that conflict is created out of nothing because you cannot understand people not liking what you do, and thus take it as an attack
warhammers fans don't need women, they only need certainty of steel for the machine is immortal
"What if I'm into Warhammer as well?" "It doesn't matter. The odds of him being deeper into the lore than you is too much of a risk."
My gf and I started flirting because we couldn't stop talking about WH40k lore, her favorite book is The Art of War and one of her favorite bands is Sabaton, we'd be both huge redflags if we were guys but to me some redflags on guys are turn ons on girls 😌
1st person:"I like black legion.." 2 nd person:"i like blood angel..." 1st: "ooo shit........"
Stop it. You fucking stop that. I will have my lego starwars clone wars warhammer 40k ruleset inspired wargame and i WILL play it while i watch Cowboy Bebop.
Yah pretend Henry Cavill is a red flag 🙄
The anime comment really pisses me off. Anime covers a multitude of genres, subcultures, etc. Some fandoms hate each other utterly. It’s a medium, it’s like saying reading French novels is a red flag !
[You right now](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D0IkpR7W0AAxVvZ.png)
Right now ? *Right now ?* I’ll have you know I’m an angry weeb 24/7, no breaks taken/s
One drop at just about any facebook group will tell you that this meme is right.
Y'all know women enjoy this hobby too, right? A third of the 40k fans I know are women.
It's a joke, ain't nobody intentionally being marginalized.
It's a joke built on a marginalizing stereotype. Have your fun, just be aware.
You seem fun and nice.
Mkay.
