Why does everything explode after I paint it?

Rattling Gun - Blew up first try, rolling two dice.
Warp Cannon - Blew up first shot

Today, I attempted to use my warpfire thrower, only to have it, you guessed it, misfire and kill it self.

Does nothing ever work right the first time!? <_<

Sorry, had to get that off my chest, after spending time painting it, and wanting to see it roast some skinks, I was a little let down.

*Sigh* do I always have to keep reminding everyone around here, do not forget to make the necessary blood sacrifice to the Dice Gods! Once a model is painted, it needs to be consecrated, otherwise it remains as a mere lump of metal/plastic and not a proper warhammer figure, and will be continually plagued by Malignity ie. Murphy's Law.

True that.

I always sacrifice a beard-thing before every game.
It helps.. I swear

(good thing they come in plastics these days)

Carful with that though, could get messy. I prefer to just have a mass parade of hot naked women. That way everyone wins :D

yeah, then you can do whatever you want, because yor opponent will just sit staring at the girls :lol:
Nah, I think that the Dice Gods favour the best painted side (or the painted side, if there's only one), so, thats what Im aiming for ^_^

"The Curse of Unpainted Models" is just the opposite for me. My painted miniatures always preform poorly at first while my unpainted units do very well. It makes my one opponent so mad because his armies are totally painted and he has the most abysmal luck. I'm glad my unpainted minis do so well because I am very lazy when it comes to painting. -_-

trouble with that is if you're using red dice, you could obscure pips, making your rolls lower!

going to be real sad here: old dice roll worse, the reason being is that everytime u roll them little micro sized bits of dirt get in the pips. this means that 6's start to way more, than the ones as their is more dirt in that side of the dice, in affect ur using weighted dice, but in a bad way (not saying that cheating is a gd thing to do)

so wash em, and then play and see if ur luck changes

p.s i dont wash my dice, i just know of this theory

Never worry. Worst case scenario you die, and then there was no point worrying anyways.
