Greasygeek Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Yesterday I was priming my Spirit Torment (Crawlocke) on my balcony and while struggeling to get the last few drops out of the can I accidentally blew the model off the ledge and if fell to pavement below. From my appartment at the second floor thats quite a drop for a miniature thats known for breaking just by trying to assemble it. Somehow it made the fall and has absolutely no sign of damage what so ever.. Guess I owe Nagash a hug or something! So starting this silly topic, whats the most harm on any of your miniatures that it survived? Or in other words which mini has the best saving throw ever?

Mayple Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 @Greasygeek Impressive, but remember that the model ignores rend, so the falling distance surely made no difference on the save roll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balloon Dwarf Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I actually dropped my Grimwrath Berzerker while crossing the road the other day. I figured he was a goner but looked back after the traffic to find him still standing, still in one piece. I was amazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 My fat little metal Juggerlord fell from a head-high shelf onto my cement garage floor. Watched it in slow motion. Sailed past my eyes and down past my knees as I mentally screamed "NOOOOO!" and then... he just sorta slapped down directly onto the base with a little vibration like a coin settling onto a table. If he wasn't pinned, maybe it woulda been more like a little Khorne grenade going off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more traffic there is around him the better his chance of survival, clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirjava13 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 This thread is too real. Very similarly to OP, I was spraying my mounted Knight of Shrouds and he fell out of the window. I sprinted down to the garden... and found him unharmed. All glory to Nagash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjnoronh Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 @Sleboda am I correct you had an award winning Genestealer Patriarch miniature that definitively failed it's saving throw on the ice outside RIT once upon a time. I won't tell the story but it's been told and retold in Rochester several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amysrevenge Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I knocked my Celestant-Prime off the far side of the table once. The base came off, and it didn't just come off, it FLEW across the room, including that spinning-top style slow spiral down to stillness. I figured I was doooomed, but I ran around the table and the model was fine, and other than the detaching the base was fine, and I glued him back down to the base and it was all good again.

I won't tell the story but it's been told and retold in Rochester several times. It's entirely possible. I have had some nasty model crashes over the years. I don't recall that specific one, but again, easily could be. The one that overwhelms all other memories in my mind is when I had a few thousand points of my Tomb Kings on a cafeteria tray and slipped on the ice in front of the house where I was living at the time (Owings Mills, MD). The tray went up in the air. The models went everywhere. There was snow on the ground. I didn't find all the metal skeleton heads (from BB Khemri team) until the spring, when the snow thawed. I still have models I have not re-assembled from that spill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somanlius Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 My friend had his 3k points of Dark Elves sitting on the edge of a table on a bit of ceramic while we were playing a game. Halfway through the game the ceramic tile slippled and fell, spun in the air, and landed atop 100+ models. Took him a few weeks to get everything back together again.

gjnoronh Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 @Sleboda the way it's been told is you had a Golden Daemon placing Genestealer Patriarch in a box you were carrying down the stairs to an event at RIT. NY weather being what it is you slipped on the ice and people swear that Genestealer went straight up ten feet above your head before coming down to crash in many pieces on the icy concrete. That elevation and the fact it was a GD placing miniature was what made it stuck in my mind for over 20 years. But I wasn't there was Jeff W. I got to say man your penchant for transporting your army in open topped boxes/trays seems like something that should be rethought. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skreech Verminking Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 One of my best saving throws are meatshields. they are perfect in taking the charge, dying and keeping my more elite units alive. Best saving throw ever. have fun juwing through my 200wounds of meatshields, you’ll never get to my elites in combat dead ?? better clanrats take-die the trap than me-me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requizen Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The truth about models is that they can survive a fall from a height that would kill a man or being hit by a metal box while moving, but if they accidentally get knocked over on the table, they're irreparably broken.
