You spend more at GW than on rent in a month (actually happened to me this month).
You see the pope on TV and the 1st thought you have when you see the maltese cross is "Black Templars!" (also happened to me this month).
You think red cars go faster.

Haha I like those ones. Here's one of mine;
You know when you're too into 40k when you look in a campaign book and notice the smallest thing is wrong, i.e. in the Sabbat Worlds crusade a picture shows a Leman Russ captured by chaos, yet all the Imperial symbols are unscratched, but nobody else can recognise it

Praise the Emperor! I'm not the only one who got really, really wound up about this. And his chainsword that was bigger then he was on the cover of "Death or Glory".

...when you earnestly wish that the picture of that Dark Elf sorceress would come to life and stay over for the night.
...you walk about in public reciting Dawn of War unit responses to yourself. "This battle calls for massive firepower! WHOOSH! His wrath falls from the heavens! BOOM!" *Notices odd stares and the approaching security guard*
...you tear up copies of White Dwarf because the skill of the 'Eavy Metal team renders you green with bilious and venomous envy.
...you harangue Gav Thorpe at Games Day about the Squats.

This is my friend's uncle right here - I've seen his collection, this is all true.
When you have collected every single race (including squats models) to a bare minimum of 3,000 points each and the average number of bodies in your Imperial Guard list is 380 (and that's including tanks as well).
Seriously... this guy has like, 10,000 points of everything except for the Dark Eldar and Squats. It's insane. They're all painted and everything.
When you read the rulebook/codex more than you do your bible. That's too into 40k.

You know you're too adicted to 40k when you're in World History, and the conversation is about Imperialist Japan, and they speak of The Emperor, and you picture a tall, Golden figure, holding a giant sword and bearing the Imperial Aquila.
When your typical insult isn't "You bitch!" but instead, "HERETIC!" (I always say it..)
When you use the word Feth (For Tanith!) instead of the word Fuck. (Quite convenient, actually..)

2- Runing after the goth girls from my class calling them heretics, and threating to kill them in the name of the Emperor!
3- Running from the goth girls boyfriends while praying that the Emperor will slow them down.
4- Saying "Sir/ma'am" to my teachers while giving them a Guardsman's sault! (Left arm to head, right arm down to right leg, feet together, then left hand behind back and feet apart when at ease/ see WA)
5- Praying to the Emperor while on the soccer field before the game starts.
6- Saving up to make an Imperial Commanders uniform before i go to GW at friday night games.

when you are always looking around and trying to work out where you would get the best cover save.
when you are near someone you dont like and are expecting a squad of space marines to come down and go exterminatus on his ass.
when you refuse to do religous education unless the emporer is somehow involved.
(note i am not guilty of any of these things... much)

When you take a thread like this to beyond a page.ZimZum for the win on that one!
* When you moderate 7 pages of 'you're into 40K when...'
* You feel compelled to state reasons via multiple posts in the 7 pages of 'you're into 40K when...'
* When you moderate 42 pages of 'The CC challenge Mk2' :wtf:

- When you walk around with your friends and worry about unit coherency.
- We do that, but we're just military nuts.
-When you spend your time running around the back yard, alone, in your Gaunts Ghost uniform, pretending to be hiding and killing Chaos cultists.

-When you think that giving blood donations is something that Khornate cultists would do
-When you spend more time in the WH40k TT & DoW forums. (I am such a master of the obvious.)
It isn't?
Obviously; only serious guys would think that.

You know your in too into 40K to much when you dump your hot(but bitchy and expensive) girlfreind to go buy a squad of fire warriors - happened to me last month....
Good on you! Girlfriends should at least tolerate your hobbies if not support them. You guys sound like me with war movies, when they depict wrong guns or tanks for the period.
I find myself sometimes uttering some of the computer game comments to myself...when Im NOT playing...ie "Vernerate the immortal Emperor", or "KILL, PURGE, CLEANSE"....and many others...Jon

You know you're too addicted when you're watching the trailers for Warhammer: Mark of Chaos and you let out a battle-cry along with their sargeant.
you are to in to WH40k when
- you get off over painting sisters of battle or slannesh
- you try to transform your every day car into a landraider( me and my friend tried that with cardboard boxes)
- youre playing cricet or baseball and yell FOR THE EMPEROR! when you hit the ball
-you try making power armour with cardboard boxes
- you spend more than a third of your day on these forums
-you try making a full scale model of a SM and hoping it would come to life
- you see a goth and yell HERETIC
-you start making chaos and/or tyranid cults
-when you scour the net to find every last piece of fluff that was ever invented

_if you actually said the prayers to the empy at the Big Game at Gamesday ( guilty )
(double points if you said it with the sign of the aquillia on the chest )
_if you get mad at little kids cause they brake your "Super awesome lookin robot man tank"! ( dreadnaught ) ( I think were all guilty of this in some way )
_when you spend enough time at a hobby shop to make good freinds there ( guilty )
And why wouldnt you be pissed if you just lost 2 books at 20$ each? unless your rich, thats normal .
