    Default My Wife is Awesome

    My wife decided to give me my Father's day present today, seeing as I won't see her again until Monday. It was eKaya and Standing Stones.

    As the title says, My Wife is Awesome.

    If all else fails, counterattack. At least you'll go down with dice in your hand.
    Lose or win gracefully and with good humor, and you will never lack for opponents.
    Always remember the dice hate everyone. That includes you.

    Bah, my buddy's wife got him a Kraken from a ninja shopper.

    As a surprise.

    I told my wife about it. Her reply? "What's a Kraken? Does this mean when you go play with the boys this week you'll come home pouting about those skeleton people killing you again?"

    Hey, WarpedWolf... Are you, by any chance, from around New Orleans?

    LOL! My wife would cheer me on, then remind me that I am 0-7 against her, including a 1st round loss in a Battlebox tourney where she placed second, only losing in the final game. Then smile :-)

    My wife-to-be asked me to make cake toppers out if a Mauler and Ironclad for our wedding cake. Ironclad's wearing a dress and the hammer has been converted to a bouquet of flowers. Mailer has a shredded tux.

    Victory?

    Totally off topic, but PG_ThatRickGuy, why is my name spelled wrong in your quotation?

    On topic, your wife is keeper. Lock that down!

    For Cygnar, round (thankfully). Khador boobs would likely be square!

    I got Stormwall, Threemo and the Colossal book, (on order) early for Fathers day. My wife and her best friend mock me all the time, "so are you going to play with your army men on Thursday?"

    I loves her too!

    You'll have the same anniversary as me! Congratulations.
    The forums seem to have one of two responses to new models. (A) "This model is worthless, I'll never use it." or (B) "That model is over powered, it's going to break the game." A few models get both responses, which ends up being really hilarious.
    But what's wrong with saying "This model is circumstantially good and it's up to me as a good player to exploit its strengths and minimize its weaknesses"?

    Pretty cool - we had 3D models made of our Rock Band characters for our wedding cake topper. Maybe not as cool as 'jacks, but they're personalized and look just like us

    My wife is awesome for the simple fact that she didn't complain when I started buying minis for three of my five sons. She's also giving me a gift card to the FLGS for fathers day.

    Like I said, awesome!

    My stepdaughters wedding was last Saturday. She made companion cubes for the cake topper, they looked awesome.

    And it would figure that the stormwall would come out the week after when I'm tapped out after paying for a wedding. Oh well at least my son-inlaw plays Khador.

    My wife is awesome: She lets me do my hobbies, supplies me 24-7 with yummy Thai food and surprised me on my birthday with a Tablet Computer (to put Warrom on, when it comes, eventually)...!

    My wife supports me in the hobby as well. Paints, models every now and then, and even occasionally will throw down some paint on a mini. She is epic.

    I got a cute card she made herself...

    which was amended with "and there's a Stormwall at the LGS, paid for, with your name on it".

    My wife bought me the Gorton Grundback box when I found it at a nearby LGS. It was nice to not have to buy all those models separately (though I still need the MkII Gorton cards).

    Tomorrow is Father's Day, and our wedding anniversary. I'm not expecting gifts from her for either.

    Think I'll spend the morning snuggled up with my daughter watching Dr Who or something. If I'm going to mope, I'll do it with a quilt and some British tv.

    I am a Critical Care Technician in a hospital, so I know the feeling. I'm fortunate that this is my off weekend, but our kids live 200 miles away. My wife has been pretty understanding about the space I need for my hobbies - one of the smaller bedrooms is essentially my den, and half of the table is usually taken up qith my painting setup.
