POLL: Top Five Signs You Might Be a GW Fanboy

if you are offended by this poll

if you are incandescent with rage when someone tries to use Old Glory Ghost Orcs

You strongly considered getting an Ultramarines tattoo on your left shoulder and even had it polled here at TMP

You've met others with GW tattoos.

You wake up each morning with a devotion to the Emperor.

You remind others that it is better to die for the Emperor than live for yourself.

Before a game you break open your Uplifting Primer for Imperial Infantrymen and recant a prayer to the Emperor.

You quit playing the games but still buy the minis and use the background for other rule books.

You look at my 800+ mini MS force that cost only $500.00 and wish you got your minis before they went corporate too.:)

You get mad at me for only using 2nd ed rules

You get really mad at me because I'm planning on repainting my MS force in camo.

You refer to your ex-wives as codexes and their jewelry as war gear.

You are price-insensitive for GW minis

You can name the Elector-States in the Empire.

You're not sure who the President of the US is, but you still feel bad that Bryan Ansell left GW for Wargames Foundry.

You think that Black comes in shades (starting with Chaos)

You are sure the main event of this decade will be the release of WH 40K 6th edition

You think that Perry War of the Roses figures are OK, but need skullz and purity seals.

You complain about the the cost of rulebooks but won't blink an eye to buy the latest rules or codexes for WFB or 40k.

You complain about the high cost of metal miniatures but won't blink an eye to buy another Finecast Miniature.

You compare every non-GW Miniature to a GW miniature.

You've never even heard of Flames of War, Warmachine, Malefaux, Urban War, Rezolution, Warzone, etc.

Your GW miniatures are assembed using GW glue, painted with GW paints using a GW paintbrush, and flocked with GW static grass. Any miniature finished with another product is simply 'inferior'.

Everything must have spiky bits.

GW sand is the ONLY sand you will ever use to base your minis.

Rouge Trader? That's not GW standards.

Any dissenters will be immediately subject to the Inquisition Boyz at Nottingham.

GW rules are constantly improving and making for a better/realistic game.

Space Marine armies are the best… EVA!

When you 'grow up' you want to be a Space Marine and shout, 'Space Marines… ATTACK!' as you slay demons and heretics by the dozens.

You think you'd like to hang-out with Garviel Loken, Tarik Torgaddon, Saul Tarivtz, Nathanial Garro, Uriel Ventris and Sgt. Priad.

You really really really want to kill Erebus in the worst way.

You continue to seethe in anger at 2000AD for 'ripping off' so much of GW's IP.

You continue to insist that GW minis are a 'great bargain' and that they are the pinnacle of sculpting.

All of your clothes have GW logos on them. Including your shoes, socks and underwear.

You use GW logo jewelry in all of your piercings.

You call it 'the Games Workshop hobby' and have never played any other games.

Every wall in your basement has shelves filled to the ceiling full of GW products. In fact you have more product than a well stocked hobby store. You have every miniature variant possible for ALL of the codexs. You also have every Forge World over priced monstrosity ever made. Many of your miniatures have a 1/4 inch of dust on them because there isn't enough time in a year for all of them to be used in a game.

You repeat often: 'Why aren't we killing yet?' 'Do you hear the voices too?' 'We'll do it your way this time… worm!' 'Please… no kicking.' 'Death to the false Emperor!'

Your doting Heart surgeon Father finally complains about how much of his money you're wasting on the Evil Empire.

You swear that 3 squads of World Eaters would eliminate the Taliban and Al Qaeda in less than 3 weeks from the planet. You would then shout, 'Blood for the blood god!' They could do it faster if they didn't have to travel so far to kill all of them. That's annoying. Hmmm…. perhaps a few orbital bombardments would help?

You enjoy going into their shops to be greeted like the salesmans long lost brother who just has to know your first name!

You have a Direct Debit for all new releases and know in advance when Forgeworld are releasing the next big thing

You buy the bits to play with not keep 6 months and sell at a profit (inc eBay fees / PayPal costs and hand delivery by nubile wenches)

Your figures come from the GW shop – not the charity shop next door

You only have their books on the selves and in the Kindle

You smile as you put on your uniform and head to work at one of Games Workshop's finest Hobby Centers.

The GW hatred only makes you stronger and you are willing to endure.

When you get tired of the same cast of haters posting stupid poll ideas on why they don't like GW.

You teach your toddlers to scream 'WAAAAARGGGGH ORK!!!!' and also to chant 'Gorkamorka'

You think 24 inches is a good range for an assault rifle in table top games

You feel that a 2oz.plastic model worth 300 points in a game should cost more money than a 24oz.metal model worth 10 points in the same game.

You insist that only GW models can be used in GW games.

You think that skulls and pointed arches make stuff daaaark and kewl.

You think that 'Rogue Trader' is a roleplaying game published by FFG.

When you start telling people about your armies, they become speechless and find reasons to walk away from you. They're either envious or jealous. Either way, you still got it, baby!

You paid as much for a resin tank as you did for your actual vehicle.

Some frat boy yelled at you to not be a waste of flesh and get a Golfag. You realized he was right and rushed out to buy a unit of ogres.

You understand that plastic is more expensive than metal, despite all of the arguments put forth by people who just don't understand reality.

Every few years, in order to keep the game strong, the rules must be changed and army compositions altered. This isn't a moneygrab by GW, no matter what the haters might think. GW loves you and would never want to hurt you. Those yearly price increases are also vital to making sure that WFB and WH40K are financially stable for another four years.

You moan constantly about the prices but keep on buying anyways.

You are puzzled by the revelation that other companies also make gaming figures.

You believe the Warhammer 40,000 universe is a prediction of the near future.

You have broken friendships when people used proxies or non-GW miniatures.

You describe yourself as creative and non-conformist, as long as it comes pre-packaged by a large corporation.

You emailed GW to warn them that other people had stolen their concept of miniature figures.

People in the GW store are suddenly very busy when you walk in and are increasingly suggesting you should try another hobby.

At least three of your armies are completely made up of Forge World models.
