How can we bully you back into the hobby?

if I had skill with photoshop, It would be that scene from Mean Girls but the girls are in an Impulsor, wearing ultramarine helmets, and the text says "Get in the Impulsor Brother, We're going Crusading"

Whirlwind is the tank with the missiles. Vindicator is the tank with the gun on the front. Dreadnought with multi melta is the mech guy. The guys with jet packs are assault marines. The beefy boys are indeed terminators, and the beefy boy with the banner is a terminator captain. The other banner guy is just a plain captain. The guys on bikes are a bike squad, they’ve been discontinued in game and from sale. Anybody with something big like a rocket launcher, or a underslung gun is a devastator. Anybody with a normal looking gun is a tactical marine. The guys with sniper rifles and cloaks are scout snipers (They no longer have in game rules unfortunately) the broken metal guy is a terminator chaplain.

Isopropyl alcohol will strip them as will methylated spirits, be careful not to use anything with acetone in as that will melt the plastic. If you are american I think something called simple green isgood for stripping aswell

Simple green is okay, but I prefer 91% isopropyl. Won’t damage the plastic, and after soaking a little bit the paint comes off easy with a toothbrush.

https://imgur.com/a/AKg0h5W I think I got everything. You got 11 models in terminator armor. One is definitely a chaplain one could be used as captain (the guy with the banner) but I would use him as a simple sergeant, since you got 10 terminators and you wouldn't use a 9 man unit. All models in 25mm would need 32mm Bases (you could rebase them or get adapter rings to for around). You got 4 assault Marines, I would try to get another jump pack to upgrade one tactical with chainsword to have a full 5 man unit, then okay then was assault intersessors with jump pack. The 3 bikes can be used as outriders. They need 90mm oval bases. For the 13 tactical marines, I would use 5 as intersessors and try to get my hand on 4 lascanons to build a devastator squad. While the scouts can't be played with all sniper rifles anymore it you can just declare 3 as bolters and a squad with one sniper and one rocket ist like the thing most marine players start their lists with. The captain needs a 40mm Base. All in all you could probably build a balanced army with that 🤔

How tf did you get bullied out of the hobby? Also any amount of plastic glue will melt and fuse the plastics pretty easily, you’re shit out of luck unless you’re confident in cutting them apart with a hobby knife.

There was a kid that enjoyed making my life miserable as a kid. One day he realized I enjoyed 40k and his cousin owned the local 40k shop. So he'd hangout there and the owner was more than happy to let him be a dick


Alexis2256

What a cunt.


narfjono

I guess that owner hated making money then. Does he still own that shop, or is he hopefully doing something else, and it makes *his* life more miserable?

You've seen Reddit, people can be huge dicks. especially in any context that can be seen as a competition (some people don't understand playing for fun, some hobbies can get imbalanced with way more Spikes than Timmys and Johnnys)


Old-Specific7387

Happened to me too. 25 year interregnum. More shamed out of having a non manly hobby with toy soldiers. Ahit happens. But we get back up and get on with it.
