    Default has the warp ever clamed one of your figurs?

    you probably all have your horror stories about loosing one of your precious miniatures , this is mine.

    With my renewed interest in wh40k thanks to the new 6ed i did a quick look on Ebay for more guards ,luck was with me as i won the bit for a Steel legion infantry platoon an a very resealable price ,with that i could play a standard game with all legionaries.
    they came in last Friday and in my excitement i unpacked my legionaries but apparently all 3 of my officers have gone missing , i have been tearing up my apartment up all day trying to find them , i even unpacked my orks in they off chance they took them hostage but no luck.

    at this point i pretty much given up hope of finding them , at least until i move to a new apartment and find them in some forgotten corner.


    so got any lost stuff story to share ?

    I took some marines to GW Norwich back in the 90's. I had a squad of really well painted Red Scorpions, in the red and black 'Angstrom Incident' paint scheme. This was well before forgeworld.

    One of them, an RT model with a Shuriken Catapult, never came back.

    Long missed.

    Although obviously by the warp, I mean it was claimed by a thieving *******.

    Right now I'm looking for my wallet, which seems to have been claimed by the warp...

    Back in the ancient days of 2nd edition, I had a Leman Russ that was painted and otherwise made up to be Orky (they could take them straight with no problems). When I walked away from the game it went into the attic with everything else. Fast forward to 5th edition with me digging everything back out and it VANISHED.

    Same with a Chaplain on bike (actually he was riding a squat low-rider bike-it looked really cool)

    I still have faith I will find these missing guys someday. I swear I keep finding old epic Warlords everytime I look.
    I'm thinking it'd probably turn out more like Daleks playing Quiddich. "It is the Potter!! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! " (someone I know on twitter)

    The warp has never stolen a miniature from me, but my brother did grow an extra dice from his set one day, the warp does some fun stuff sometimes.

    Certainly not that epic, but I was in an apartment building that went up in flames (no one died and very few minor injuries.) My apartment was terribly water and smoke damaged but not fire damaged. I managed to get all of my 40k stuff, save for every single codex up to date and a ton of old ones like Angels of Death, but a single Rhino was in a closet that couldn't be accessed due to instability of the building.

    So that one single Rhino suffered the terrible fate the rest avoided. I will miss you Rhino....well I did until 6th ed came out.

    i had an ex-girlfriend going deamonette on me does that count?

    Longstory short:
    Me and my ex broke up, was a bit nasty to say the least after i teared up her car she decided to go deamon on my blood angels chapter (yes a chapter)
    For instance she decided to use a blowtorch on my thunderhawks who where melted down to slag and use a hammer on the rest of my collection. i can tell you that hurts alot. Alot of the models where bought by my oldest brother who died few years back.

    made me quit warhammer for 3 years.

    technically that would be a demonic incursion, where there any survivors?

    I wonder if what you did to her car made her quit driving for 3 years?

    Sounds like you should quit dating rather than Warhammer!

    I've never lost a model, but I frequently lose dice. It's especially infuriating when they are from a dice cube and you end up with an unfilled cube.
