Oh the humanity! I was just about to clean out my display cases and stupidly I tried to be clever and remove an entire shelf full of miniatures at once. Unfortunately the shelf had other ideas and slipped dropping my entire Empire army one shelf down onto the start of my Goblin army and a load of display minis. I could cry. I now have to spend the day sticking back together broken steam tanks and fixing chipped paint jobs :icon_cry: :icon_cry:

I will cry for a minute in tribute to this very bad day.

You fool! You lazy fool!
On a serious point, I am sorry for your loss.

Bummer. :icon_sad:

Oh no! :Ohmy:
When stuff like this happens to me, I'm angry at myself for at least three days.

I hope you didn't light up a cigarette ............. :icon_evil:
Accidents happen - especially when we try to take a short cut.
It could have been worse - you could have lost the lot in a fire, or chewed by a dog.

Men of The Empire are hardy indeed! (sorry, I hate it when people post things like that but it seemed appropriate! :icon_lol:) Nearly the entire army survived! A few scratches to paint work but nothing that cant be fixed in half an hour. Some Eldar bought it (stupid Elves) and I've a Batman model thats so chipped it will need stripping and repainting but in general the worst that happened to The Empire was a few chips and the loss of a handgunner, may he rest in peace.
Of course, there were a few more serious casualties -

The top one will be easily saved, the bottom I cant be arsed with and I will probably turn into the steam war altar (cheese!) I had planned. I think the moral of this story is that I am an idle dick head and should not be so lazy :icon_redface: Thanks all for your thoughts, they have helped during this hour of darkness! :icon_rolleyes:

:icon_lol: This actually cheered me up a bit!

Ha! Please do, it will be a constant reminder to me!

I feel your pain. I dropped my army in the middle of the street a few weeks back and I scrambled to get everything gathered. I haven't even looked at the full carnage yet as I can't really handle it at the moment.
Glad that the casualties were light!
-
EEEEEE!! :Ohmy: dude so sorry i feel your pain
-
It reminds me my black orcs that fell from the stairs of 4th floor, only to be found at the bottom of the structre. They where the old metal models, now they are not. Kumbaya , Kumbaya ......

Fools must be taught by experience? Bit harsh! Fair point like but harsh!
I totally had to google that by the way, I didn't know what it meant! :icon_lol:

Hope the damage is not too severe.
Still, nothing beats Lochness's army getting stolen for sucky miniature disasters.

Your army is just superb, we seem to be on the exact same wavelength as my Empire also has lots of Dogs of War in it, including the Hot Pot and funnily enough and will have the same Mordheim Ogre model as a unit filler in my Infantry too! I think they add a lot of character to the army and if done well like yours then they truly stand out.
Unlucky about your army being smashed but I'd really like to see more pictures of the Army and whats going to be in the Army (Say either the Army List or just a total list of models) and also pictures of the Characters.
Keep up the great work.

Bring 'em down here, I'll happily glue them all back together again. Wouldn't be the first time I'd had a major rebuilding task. The journey from England was not kind on some of my little dudes...

That sucks mate, I did the same thing - to my Dad's minis :icon_redface:
-
think of it as an oppurtunity to; modify/convert/do over better etc., some of my best ideas were the result of a grievious accident that resulted in having spare parts laying about crying out to be used in some manner. If the conqueror's condition saddens you, you can send the conqueror to the panzer corp repair shop and it can be decked out anew, just like the general Jeb Stuart tank in the old comic books, I promise to provide it with a good home. :icon_lol: steveb

No one believes you.
For you to get your army smashed, a 747 has to crash on top of your mansion...

I don't think that'll do. Maybe if war broke out and the enemy mistook his hobby room for a key US air base, consequently bombing it.

repeatedly.

Such a shame, at least it wasn't all destroyed. Would be such a waste if it was.

So was Midaski. Of course, everyone spoke Latin back then, since it was their language...

Oh man, that sucks for everyone on here as well, especially Zandur.
I'm glad it turned out reasonably well, IF.

Hey Wiss, I missed this.
So sorry to hear this.

I got lucky. Had a car accident when I was on vacation earlier this year. I was traveling to see Von Kusrt for a game, and got into a little fender bender. As the car came to a sudden stop, when it hit the vehicle in front, a portion of my minatures had been arrayed out in a box lid placed in a nice cubby position on the floor. Some items on the front seat went flying down onto the box lid, and I had nothing break. Very lucky.
-
:icon_lol: Sorry but I just got this from a link in another thread and could not resist laughing, so few see the funy side....
-
Thanks fellas. It turned out quite well. Most of the stuff was just shields and heads, I had about 3 models that snapped at the ankles but that was the worst of the damage. I got off light, fortunately.

snapped ankles can take MONTHS to repair correctly. multiple glueing and surgery needed. Not to mention if the break isn't flush a round of greenstuff and re-painting is necessary. Fact is the convalescence period for snapped ankles is a long and arduous journey and you can never be sure how stable their legs are again.
-
Bies ... are you sitting in for MrDoom& Gloom? :icon_wink:
-
I'm just speaking as a Man who has snapped his ankles on multiple occasions and know the lifetime of pain and suffering it can bring.
-
Well, if that's the case what do you suggest for the ones who had their heads pop off? :wink:
-
Oh heads are easy, just some delicate knife work to clean out all the old glue and then go right for a replacement! Face Life VOILA!

Dump the bloody steamtank.
The rest is a pity and I mourn for your drama.
