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

I actually spent several sleepless nights fretting over how the covers on the Cain books depict him with a bolt pistol, when in the books themselves he has a laspistol.

You know you're into 40K too much when you join a forum for 40k...wait...
You know you're into 40K too much when you try to explain 'terminator tipping' to a non-collector.
You know you're into DoW too much when you kneel down with a pretend hammer over your head in a demonstration to your friends how you 'owned' that guy last night.
MOD EDIT: No 'pwn' speak under any circumstances.

You know your into 40K too much when you start to have back aches from taking your army with you to a store.
You know your into 40K too much when you have nearly ten thousand points of a race and nearly one hundred percent of them are looking back at you in all silver...
You start a thread like this on a internet forum.

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".I actually spent several sleepless nights fretting over how the covers on the Cain books depict him with a bolt pistol, when in the books themselves he has a laspistol.
Um, O/T - When you catch yourself responding to a question with something like Praise the Emperor.
When you buy 40K models, lots of them.
Plus when Gaunt from gaunts ghosts has a chainsword, or was this before he got his stylish sword.

when you explain to your brother that the reason his car won't start is because the machine spirit is mad at him for not taking care of it. Another example is when start to have dreams that your in the world of 40k( happens to me all the time).
When you find yourself swearing at the 'dice' gods.

...when you refuse to utter the word "missile" because "miss" is a component of it, and that has to be not merely asking for trouble but prostrating youself before it and weepingly begging for it.
...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.
...when you consider investigating the integrity of Imperial government's constitutional balance as defined in the Codex Astartes to be so much more interesting than actual real-life politics.

A young clerk thought that Curzon's memorandum was balls. But he was afraid to say so directly, so he wrote faintly in the margin, "Round Objects". Lord Curzon replied in a note: "Who is Mr. Round, and why does he object?"

You've just reminded me, Grabnutz:
...almost crashing your car because your mind wanders away from the road and onto how the Emperor may have bawled out Hours during the Siege of the Emperor's Palace.
When you watched the news of the pope in town and can't help ask when Aun'Va landed on Earth...
When somebody argues with you on some stupid thing, and you call him heretic.
When somebody want's to fight you, and you are trying to find your battle hammer.
When you are listening to an ambinent sound taken from DoW.
When you see your schools/university bulding and think "What a nice boyz hut!"
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.
...when you get pissed at people who make the Emperor out to be a god.
...when you begin to make army lists during your final in science(did that)
...when you wish you could steal Roberts brain so he could no longer defile the Tau(secretly wish this
...when you kick the crap out of kids for calling you a heritic
...and lastly you fantise about the Sisters of Battle
When you buy the super expensive models from GW...
When you think the color "ultramarine blue" refers to SMs ( actually thought this until I learned it from art class )...
When you take a codex to read when you go somewhere and are killing time ( do it all the time )...
Fantasizing that when you walk in to GW they'll give you a $1000 gift card or will have a sale or something ( do it all the time )...
And, as someone stated earlier, dreaming about 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..)

You write 40k fanfiction.
You write plausible 40k fanfiction.

#29
I call people heretics on a daily basis.
I take my current army codex and 4th ed rulebook with me to college so in my free´s I can sit and read it.
I have dreams about being in the 40k universe.
The word communist doesn't bring images of Soviet Russia into my head - it brings Tau.

When someone says corn, I think Khorne.
Yer... these are all real...

I got a nosebleed a few days ago and shouted "blood for the blood god." I'd say that counts.

-Going to a gameworkshop more then once every week
-Painting and gaming every day. (This is what i do)
-Knowing to much, or almost every piece of fluff, rule and other thing in the warhammer universe.
-Lastly reading posts on forums like this.
You know you should go to sleep when the sheep your counting start to hit the fence.

When you hope your t-shirt will one day change into a power armour
When you wan't to paint your chair gold

You are too much into warhammer when you have to buy a bigger house, becouse you cant fit all your miniatures in your old one.(this actually happened to me last year)
... When you quit coffee (after 15 years of solid habbit) so that your hands are steadier when you paint.
When you remake a torch into a laspistol and claim that it works perfectally.
When you hit someone and say strength 10 attack!
When you know where I stole the above joke from.
Yes, reading Golden Throne would probably be a bad sign...
When you mutter "The Emperor Protects!'' before doing something dangerous.
I was acctually thinking of Turn Signals on a Land Raider...Originally Posted by M0thra

Ah... I think both have used the same joke at some point in their careers
#41
When you care about people's base fantasies about daemonettes enough to scream "heretic" and mime headshotting them with a bolt pistol.
When you get *really* narked that all the females in 40k are vapid killing machines, and that there's no all-female guard army.
And I definately read 40k stuff more than my bible. Heck, I only use my bible to pillage cool names.
#42
You know you're too into WH40K when you devise plans to make an actual chainsword.
You know you're too into WH40K when almost all of your passwords for the internet and banking are related to Warhammer.

...you spend more than five times a models worth on "kustomizing" it(something I've been doing with my Sgt. Centurius model $60)
...you spend many of sleepless nights brainstorming epic stories for a 40k flsh movie.
Or you end up agonizing over how to spend you time between work, training, and hobby time.
....which usually means less (FAR LESS!) sleep.
Painting is addicting.
When you ignore your teacher and do all the fraction math to find out how effective your units are against the enemy (EACH unit against EACH enenmy unit of EACH army)
