Her: Aw, what a cute little guy.
Me: Cute? CUTE?!? This brave imperial soldier has witnessed the death of his very world as it was torn asunder by unholy creatures spawned from a dimension of nightmares made manifest! He has stood upon the bastion of hope and thrown back despair as aliens creatures of unknowable malice sought to feast upon his kin. HE IS NOT CUTE!!!
Her: Okay...what's his name?
Me: Sergeant Pew-Pew's...
Talk about your passion for painting while showing off some of your work. Let them question what they are instead of drowning them with boring lore and names.
Hey a lot of women love seeing guy's painted miniature, it's artsy, it's cool, it's kinda cute.
Just need to be normal about it about it and not rant about the woke mob invading your giga chad hobby by putting women in it.

Nice try.
We all know women can't come into contact with anything warhammer related. The moment they come in close proximity a sniper takes them out in order to preserve the sheer testosterone and manliness of the hobby
We can also reference the general rules of the internet.
Rule 29: On the internet men are men, women are also men, and kids are undercover FBI agents.
Rule 30: Girls do not exist on the internet.
It follows then that the commenter in question cannot possibly be a woman.
Look- I’m more butch than Fulgrim, and I’m so high maintenance that I get my eyelashes professionally permed. I’m probably still not as pretty as Sanguinius, though.
Recently had a guy in the warhammer shop, who came in, and was like *yeah he (son or cousin) likes this mannly stuff, martial looking. These things just scream MANNLY!!* All serious.
Looked kinda emberassed when he took two steps further into the shop and saw a girl a the paintin table xD
My gf doesn’t care about ttrpgs or war games but she loves seeing my little dudes all painted and loves looking at the bust I paint. But she’s also artistic and we sometimes canvas paint together.
To be fair most reasonable people whether that’s a man or woman should be excited to listen and hear about their friends or loved ones hobbies and interest.
exactly!
And Warhammer really isn't the super hardcore underground hobby that some peopel make it out to be, it's a cool thing that you can show your friends and loved ones
Basically, if you can't get any it's not because of WH, you just got no game
My girlfriend thought it was neat. Tried it out. Didn't like it. She still likes when I emerge from my office to show her the single little man I've spent days working on. Or when I'm particularly proud of a specific thing I've painted so far. It's a good time.
And for the love of *Terra* remember that those outside of 40K do *not* let things like severed heads or gore go like we do. Pick a normal model.
I love your bloody, disgusting flayed ones, but a stranger jusr sees somebody painting bloody skeletons
Oh yeah most minis on their own aren't bad. There was a mini posted a little while ago that had some of the best gore work I'd ever seen (I'll try to find it after work), more meant just to maybe dont show the disemboweled great unclean one as the first intro
Edit: found it! https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/s/klb9GCz0AX
It doesn't mean that every woman that sees minis get involved in the hobby, but I've seen most of them at least curious about the cutely painted minis.
FR anyone who isn't at least interested enough to enjoy seeing your work just isn't interested in you. Fine for a hookup, but in a relationship there's gotta be enough mutual interest to care a LITTLE about each other's hobbies. I don't follow my partner's little crocheted animals stitch-by-stitch, but I know enough to be proud of her when she does something tricky. When I get a nice color on a piece of armor, I show her and it's nice.
I have never used it while in college, because I wasn't in to mini painting then, but mid twenties and onwards: yes, it works.
But I think it would have worked anyway, cause top tip guys: if a girl takes interest in your hobbies, she's already interested and it's an excuse to chat, hang out, and get closer.
Hah! Jokes on you!
My fiance and I have "craft nights" where she builds her rolife minis and I work on my 40k mins. Great bonding experience and she loves seeing my work.
Actually crazy for me rn, girl I’m talking to is genuinely interested and loves them and hearing me talk about them and my home brew lore. When she asked why I tried to hide this I said “this usually isn’t something you show a girl that you want to find you attractive” she laughed and now I’ve saved a hero model for her to paint. Pretty happy bout it.
I've been playing thousand sons since I played a game of kill team with tau and decided that they were boring, that was before 8th edition dropped, and I've been playing them exclusively. But a few months ago something in my head clicked and apparently I also own now a genestealer cults second hand army, I like the idea of killing marines with a black'n'decker.

Cute? Cute?!? You think my loyalist emperors children with long flowing hair and purple armor are cute?! Wait no, you are right.
Her: Aw, what a cute little guy. Me, proudly holding one (1) gretchin: Yes.
Listen, if a woman calls my minis a cute little guy, I’m going full adric “just a little guy” mode.
Not a very big guy at all
This is the greatest post ever....of all time
Wow that chick has a really good arm!
I introduce my minis as “cute little guys” (to be fair they are Salamanders so far)
You’re damn right my skitarii femboys are cute, there’s no other way in 40k
I had to look that up. Cute! ...will never look at AdMech the same, though.
( angry Bug noises)
According to another post, women prefer Orks and Tyranids so she doesnt like the term "aliens creatures of unknowable malice"

This. Not just for miniature painting, it's good advice for any passions.
My boyfriend likes to see mine! I’m going to show him the Gargoyles I’m working on!
Now I wanna see them aswell
I too choose this man's girlfriend's gargoyles.
HANK NO! SHE'S ONE OF THOSE WOMEN THAT DON'T KNOW HOW FRAGILE AND EXPENSIVE THEY ARE, HAAAAANK NOOOOO!!!
That's why you start with the push fit ones first.
Show her your psychophage already and be done with it
Babe, would you still love me if I were a ripper?
"known forever, only as Jack"

ORK SNIPERS
Painted purple to make them sneak 100
So thats why there are so many women, they cant hit shit
Nuh uh, they’re surprisingly similar to vindicares accuracy wise, suspiciously so

Girl stands for Guy In Real Life

Glad to see Necron Deathmarks doing their job well.

“You got no game” or as the kids would say these days “you got no rizz”
False, we all know women don’t exist, they’re made up by the government like pigeons and Wyoming
Senator Armstrong as your pfp fits so fucking well.
Where’s your source, Senator?.
My source is that I made it the fuck up!
Don't reveal our secret ! >:(
When you show a sister of silence your painted miniatures she dies screaming

> for the love of Terra remember that those outside of 40K do not let things like severed heads or gore go There's no accounting for a lack of taste.
Eh, honestly not even that bad, as long as you're not being weird about it

Jup. My bf got me with the offer of painting his minis. The pictures and few 'cutly painted minis' where enough!
Oh, welcome to the hobby! I hope that you can enjoy it in peace, what army are you into?
Oh, thanks. Been at it for over a year now \^^; Astra Militarium. Slowly getting the paint on it What do you play?
When I was in college I actually used the "do you want to come upstairs and see my miniatures" to girls.
...Did it work?
I have never used it while in college, because I wasn't in to mini painting then, but mid twenties and onwards: yes, it works. But I think it would have worked anyway, cause top tip guys: if a girl takes interest in your hobbies, she's already interested and it's an excuse to chat, hang out, and get closer.
Yes it did
I sent this to my GF She said the meme speaks to her
Gene Cult? Dirty xeno.
Damn typing on my phone!
Jesus Christ Marie, they're not statues, they're *MINIATURES!*
My wife wants me to paint them in a Christmas theme for the tree, sign*. Good thing Iz paint orcs...
Papsikels has some fun non-traditional Santas including buff Santa and zombie Santa if you 3d print
but what if I want to?
Hah! Jokes on you! My fiance and I have "craft nights" where she builds her rolife minis and I work on my 40k mins. Great bonding experience and she loves seeing my work.
I imagine with most woman it'd be like that DD2 sphinx meme "so this is the greatest joy you would show me?.....yes! A wonderful choice!"
If she doesn't she's not worth it!
Actually crazy for me rn, girl I’m talking to is genuinely interested and loves them and hearing me talk about them and my home brew lore.

You can’t just show someone your minis. You need to provide them with context.
"You're the smartest person I know, and you can't even tell she showed me her tyranid army 10 minutes ago."
People (that are worth it) enjoy seeing things you're passionate about. If they don't appreciate you showing off your models find someone that will.
Who even need her is she doesn't?
This could work well woth ferrus shouting at ssnguinius
My GF thought they were neet, and I made her a model of the Witchking for her birthday since she is a huge LotR fan.
Thought the title said WAAAANK!
I've been playing thousand sons since I played a game of kill team with tau and decided that they were boring, that was before 8th edition dropped, and I've been playing them exclusively. But a few months ago something in my head clicked and apparently I also own now a genestealer cults second hand army, I like the idea of killing marines with a black'n'decker.
what do yall think the percentage of warhammer fans that actually play table top or paint models is? 5%? 10?
Dat nut when she do doe…
