Wounds of War! ARRGGGHHHH!!!!!!

I've seen this topic done many times before, but it's always a laugh, and different people often have different stories to tell.

So please, share your battle reports with glue, scalples, drills and all other assortments of deadly mini-crafting weapons.


I've never done anything too drastic myself, just the usual fingers carved to pieces when the scalple slips and fingers attached together.

So anyone accidently sat on a regiment of spearmen, or other tales of woe and halirity?

Back in the days of my historical gaming, we used to use quite a few pirated; i.e., illegal copies, minis. The poor quality of the metal used for these suckers resulted in having to replace the swords...usually with flattened pins & needles. WELL...one of our more rotund French Generals, Tom Berg by name, was reaching across the table, when a look of horror flashed across his face followed closely by a scream. When he straightened up, there were several bases of Cuirassiers imbedded in his belly. Such is War, eh?!

I still rember when I was trying to shave something and a cut my leg with my exacto-knife! OW! My pants took most of the blow though thank god. Three cheers for paint ensrusted pants!


Other than that painful day I have just had little nicks here and there

One day I was witiling down some wood for spears for my Orcs and then the exacto knife slipped and cut my finger to the bone. I just did what any Orc general would do, and what my dad showed me. Hot water and some duct tape...works wonders.

Why hot water?

Painful battles with tools? I remember some with a little drill I use for minis... ouch, 1 inch in my hand is more experience than I wanted

Knives had never been too dangerous to me - fingers regenerate like trolls, so even the worst wound is a thing of the past after few days.

2 days ago I accidentally cut myself with a new ProCreate box. Tried to open it... but it had its own will and reacted agressive. It's not a big wound, the most uncommon in this story is that something so nice and safe caused such pain

So it burns, and you can scream loudly as if it were a much more serious wound and be all manly!
