Talking to the figures.

[Techno]

OK...

I'll be the first to admit that I occasionally swear at a figure, when it refuses to 'go right'.....Usually along the lines of, "You frigging little OIK...why can't I make this work !"

However, today.....In all seriousness I found myself asking a figure, "How did I decide to change you ?"
I'm pleased to say, there wasn't a reply......If one of them ever DOES answer..... I'm stopping doing this. 

Cheers - Phil.

It happens most often during de-flashing when some how one takes wing! - little *#%&! They never answer back neither!

[Wulf]

Occasionally I snigger when trimming... certain areas...

I have apologised to a few horses though.

[Leon]

I've shouted at them quite often, usually when I'm clipping and one pings off into the unknown...

If, when applying a wash and it runs off in all the wrong directions, the little chaps get to hear a curse or two.
Or, when painting a figure, the wrong colour is applied accidently on a finished area muttered curses can be heard.

I have to be careful though as normally wife and daughters are only sat a few feet away.

[Techno]

I'm glad it's not just me then....

... and I think we've just found the theme for next year's Christmas extravaganza!

Geldings! 

[Orcs]

I have to admit I do sometimes talk to the figures when painting, even the vehicles.

[Kiwidave]

I usually just talk to/shout at them during the game, and most of the time it's because they have failed to comprehend my tactical genius and thus do not do what I want on the tabletop....

(I even had a dream where I was sculpting them a few nights ago....Though I knew it was a dream, because I didn't cut myself.  )

I often chat to figures when I'm painting.

"So, bit of a botch of the loincloth/ belt/ shield design/ whatever there. What do we think, tidy it up? How about if we stuck you in the centre of the unit, would that do?" That sort of thing.

Afraid it is usually profanity when I'm head down, tail up under the table looking for the one I've dropped

"Listen, you grotty little (insert ethnic insult as appropriate), in a few days you'll be up against (as required), and you'll be in trouble if you can't even stand upright on your base until the glue dries. Furthermore, may I remind you that 10mm figures are cheap and readily replaced, so it were unwise to push me too far? Shall we try this one more time?"
