Topic: Something terrible has happened

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.

[Gforce]

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

I totally had to google that by the way, I didn't know what it meant! 

Oh and judging by the sudden outbreak of Caesar Speak, you don't think Soth has found a new site then ...........
 

I'll have you know I was an avid student of Latin in my high school days, sir !

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

I thought that was Koine Greek?

Cannon! You live!

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.

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.

Another bummer.

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.

  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.

[GamesPoet]

Bies ... are you sitting in for MrDoom& Gloom?

[Nicholas Bies]

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.

[wissenlander]

Well, if that's the case what do you suggest for the ones who had their heads pop off?

[Nicholas Bies]

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!

[DariusZero]

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   

.....Normally I would leave that kind of a job to my wife....but hey, I'm an eastEuropean, so that's normal....

Dump the bloody steamtank.

The rest is a pity and I mourn for your drama.
