Warhammer Day is nearly here! Tomorrow, hobbyists around the world will be showing their love of the Warhammer games and universes. We talked earlier in the week about how members of the Warhammer Community team will be celebrating – and proved in the process that quite a lot of us are totally Warhammer obsessed! So we came up with seven signs that show if you are too…
1) You Describe Colours With the Names of Citadel Paints
Imagine yourself on a beach. The sand around you is a rich Averland Sunset. You gaze up into the bright Lothern Blue sky. The ocean beckons to you, a stunning Aethermatic Blue, tipped with Corax White waves… Oops, you might have just come up with the colour scheme for your next army!
2) You Have More Unopened Boxes of Models in Your Wardrobe Than Clothes
You don’t really need more than seven pairs of underwear anyway, do you? Whereas those dozen Intercessor Squads and the Impulsors for them to ride in need to sit somewhere until you have the time to build them.
3) You Always Check Twice Before Taking a Drink
You know how it goes. You're deep into an intense painting session – that perfect second highlight is almost done. Pleased with your results, you reach for a drink. One foul-tasting sip later (often followed by retching and a hasty dash to the sink to spit it out), you've joined an awkward club: accidental paint-water tasters.
Anyone in this boat will forever double-check their mug before sipping their tea…
4) You Solve Family Disputes With a Roll-off
Pizza or Chinese? A reality show or a movie? Who’s nipping to the shops to pick up milk? All of these daily struggles become simple when you embrace the Most Important Rule and just roll for it. But remember that the dice gods are capricious… Best to use your favourite faction’s matching dice, just to be safe.
5) Your Pets Are Named After Warhammer Characters
Just picture the blissful domestic scene. Loken the dog* is snoozing over in the corner (obviously dreaming of galactic conquest and his next meal), while Fulgrim the cat is strutting around as if he owns the place. Rogal Dorn the hamster is in his Iron Cage, and hey, don’t Celestine’s wings look great? Celestine the budgie, that is. Top tip: don’t keep a Lion at home.
6) You Butter Your Toast With a Mouldline Remover
The mouldline remover just gets such a smooth result compared to a knife, and the handle’s so comfortable. It’s okay, no one’s judging – don’t forget to wash it so you don’t get tasty butter all over your next painting project.
7) Your Car Has a Bumper Sticker That Reads 'My Other Car is a Land Raider'
This one speaks for itself. Bonus points if you’ve modified your car to look like a Rhino first.
How many of these apply to you? Let us know using #WarhammerCommunity on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, along with any other signs you can think of. Remember to head to your local store tomorrow to pick up Terminator Chaplain Tarentus, the exclusive Warhammer Day model as well.
* Dogs are just domesticated wolves, after all.
