ENTRIES CLOSED 21/12/22 

It's time to help, once again, reduce the piles of shame! My loft is heaving with kits and products that I'll never realistically get around to using, so every month I'm going to run a competition to thin the Pile of Shame. It could be rulebooks, it could be models, it could be paints and accessories! Together we shall defeat the piles!

This month, one person will receive a brand new, Army Painter Mega Paint Set. I have way too many paints and I DO NOT NEED to open another box - and this contains 50 Warpaints, including washes, metallics and effects!

If you'd like a chance to win, comment here with your best festive expression of shame! Most shameful/festive/entertaining, as judged by the CONVOCATION OF SHAME, wins! To be eligible, you just need to be a active patron (any tier) when I close the thread just before Xmas this month. I'll contact you once closed for a postal address.

Ho ho... how did I end up with so many models to paint!?

Kilo Lima Oscar

I put up my Xmas tree and decorations yesterday, which was still November - I'm deeply ashamed of that. I've become everything I hate. Please give me a massive collection of paints so I can drink them to forget the deep personal failing of helping Xmas to encroach ever further towards summer. (Paint flavour reviews will be available on request)

Yesterday. Mines been up since the 10th of November. Some countries start gearing up for Christmas as soon as the ber months hit.

Ben

As a child I would go hunting for my presents around the house when my mum was having a nap or popped out to the courner shop. I'd still act surprised when I opened them having sneaked a peak days before. Sometimes I'd even need to unwrap them carefully on the sides to figure out what it was then re-wrap them.

🎵Last Christmas, I painted box art, and the very next day went down the shops and bought a load of minis and paints for a project I haven’t started yet. Please help me…

So, here's my shameful confession. It was Christmas Eve, and I, a grown man in my 30s, was surrounded by the remnants of what could only be described as an *unholy* mess of plastic miniatures. It was meant to be a “quick” paint job for my new Astra Militarum army — just a little festive touch to mark the holiday season. You know, a couple of red-and-green camo schemes, maybe a snowman helmet here, a Christmas wreath there, just to bring some holiday cheer. Instead, I *lost myself*. What began as a few simple highlights ended in full-on Christmas-themed warfare. By the time my wife walked into the room, I had painted one of my tanks to look like a sleigh, complete with a reindeer-themed camouflage pattern. A squad of Guardsmen was now wearing tiny Santa hats, and my Commissar? Well, he had become a full-blown Krampus, complete with chains and a naughty list. My wife, who normally tolerates my "hobby," gave me the kind of look that could only be described as "disappointed but resigned." She told me, with that dangerous calmness only a spouse can muster, that I was *not* to bring the Astra Militarum to her family's Christmas dinner. I agreed, but in the back of my mind, I was already planning on secretly showing them off at some point. (I mean, who wouldn’t want to see an Imperial Guard platoon charging with candy cane bayonets?) The true shame came when my brother-in-law—who doesn’t even know what Warhammer is—saw the miniatures and deadpanned, “Is that a Christmas-themed army? How *sad*.” I’ve since vowed to keep my Warhammer hobby more *mature*—but knowing myself, next year’s Christmas may involve an Ork-themed New Year’s party with a Gobbo wearing a Christmas jumper. I’m beyond saving.

I saw Mommy kissing Slaanesh Claws, Underneath the warded hex last night She didn't see me creep Down the stairs to have a peep She thought that I was tucked up In my hab bunk, fast asleep Then I saw Mommy worship Slaanesh Claws Underneath the gruesome eldritch light Oh, what a laugh it would have been If Mommy had only seen Inquisition agents outside last night I did! I did! I really did see Mommy kissing Slaanesh Claws, and I told Precinct 3 Then I saw Mommy *REDACTED* Slaanesh Claws While agents positioned for a fight Oh, what a laugh it would have been If Mommy had only seen Enforcers targeting Slaanesh Claws last night Oh, what a laugh it would have been If daddy had only seen Mommy killed with Slaanesh Claws last night (Coda) Arbiters believed me! They just gotta believe me! Come on, Agents, believed me! They just had to believe me! Come on, you gotta believe me!

I'm Slaaneshi, I don't feel shame

Daniel McFarline

This December I'm about to hit a big scary number for my birthday, and my family has been creeping around asking what they get me as a combined Christmas/birthday present, which is tricky, as for the most part I try and downplay the nerdy stuff I actually want due to the embarrassment of asking my siblings for plastic soldiers and goblins. I spent ages thinking of what responsible or grown up things I could ask for, but it always circles back to the worlds of spaceman and elves. Eventually I surrendered to the shame, embraced the cringe and wallowed in the dorkiness and proclaimed "Yes, I really want these nearly 40 year old rule books for games I'm never going to actually play because they got lots of cool lore and drawings of demons and guns in them"

Amber Kalau

i am shameful of my warhammer collection and i hide it from a lot of people but i am also so proud of my painting and show it off to people that are special to me<3 whoever wins, congrats!!

JoSe

Last year I managed to paint quite consistently throughout the months, until I was asked by my spouse to give it a rest for the holidays to spend more time together. Stopping a good streak hurt, but I thought it a worthy cause. So then Christmas eve arrived... We had everything done and in the darkness of the evening I thought I could just paint one small squad. I didn't realize the passing of time (thank you Tzeentch) and next thing I knew was the the night having passed and my spouse scaring the hell out of me by wishing me a merry Christmas... Shame... It was real.

Mazu Songfox

When I was a young lad, I was, as kids tend to be, very hyper active. I would zoom around my house, and one Christmas it bit me in the ass. 'Twas the night before Christmas Eve, and my family was gathered around the dining table. We had just enjoyed a nice meal, and I was having... let's call them zoomies. And at some paint, I, in my infinite wisdom, decided that the Christmas tree's baubels looked like a great thing to play with. Needless to say I had a Christmas tree fall on top of me. But the tree was lifted off of me, and aside from being a little bit shook, I was perfectly fine. No harm, no foul. But at that time, aparently, I needed to be taught a lesson twice. So I went to play with the tree again, and it fell on me a second time.

Jim Busher

So I am waiting to the Hachette Combat Patrol to finish its first run and then I can batch paint all the marine models with the Blood Angels Battle Box, but that box keeps staring at me asking why it’s still unpainted

Sonny Ross

Yesterday I went into town to buy gifts for family and friends, with money I had budgeted for family and friends. Today I am building death guard terminators…

Oh I did this the year Jurassic Park came out on VHS. Carefully unwrapped it and replaced the tape with Rupert and the Frog Song. Knocked over my mum's annual babycham on purpose to create a distraction to swap them back on Christmas morning.

I loved Rupert and the frog song! Had the audio cassette, book and vhs

Jess Torres

Its been nearly one year since i was gifted a warhammer box from the friend who got me into the hobby. And since then ive built probably 3k+ worth of models in aos/tow/40k... and well. I have 3 models painted. They're 3 stormcast that i painted up with the stormcast paint set

RandomGuy

Forgive me, Emporer, for I have sinned... I do not thin my paints...

Andrew Bailes

I was twelve years old when I first got into Warhammer 40k. I walked past Games Workshop and saw the models lined up in the window, went inside, smelled the paint and glue fumes and I was hooked. I started playing the Dawn of War video games on my brother's computer before school, and my dad found a woman on a bootsale who sold me some 40k for cheap because we couldn't afford to get them from the shop. Some Tau Fire Warriors, some Eldar Dire Avengers, an Eldar Wraithlord, all sealed, and a big bunch of paints. I couldn't believe it. I was so excited I told everyone at school about my new hobby, and of course, I was picked on for being a nerd. To my shame, those secondary school bullies got in my head. I told my parents I didn't want my miniatures anymore. A few months ago, I helped clear my parents garage out and found that they'd kept them for me! Half of the paints were bone dry, but I've managed to save a few and I have just completed painting my second ever Dire Avenger, fifteen years after my first, at age 27 all the while listening to yours and Mira's book club podcast. Thanks Ian, for helping heal the inner child. Good luck to everyone, and don't leave it as long as me to get back into what you love! Andy

Carlos

Even in shame I do not paint... Buying new minis is the first step in the road to dissapointment... New armies leads to grey, grey leads to shame, shame leads to punishment!

Nick Makinster

I enjoy running a large block of Tzaangors with my Thousand Sons army. I'm the reason GW keeps releasing these Thousand Sons boxes and I'm so sorry.

Fordy

I have no shame but I'd pledge my service to a dark god for those paints. I cut up my 2 ancient metal abaddon models so I could make my Orlock gangers look cooler 😎 people might think that's shameful but I think it's awesome

Andrew

I regularly walk into my local GW, chat to staff about things I'm interested in, then walk out without buying anything. I've done this four or five times this year. I am ashamed, as the staff are suuuper nice. Please save me, give me the final push to start collecting.

George Reimers

I shot my dad's car tire with a bow and arrow when I was in 6th or 7th grade.

CaptainStone

I always run my first ever models in my blood angels army, 10 3rd Ed tactical marines.

Cooking Bakies

Erebus whispered to my unpainted minis....Embrace the Chaos. Convocation, save me!!!

Jonathan Rees

I don't swap out my water when I swap from painting metallics to normal acrylics....

Nathanael Schulhofer

I have, on more than one occasion, lied about it being my birthday at a restaurant to get free ice cream

John Prew

Think i was about 6 the first time i caught my dad dressed as the Red Gobbo. Christmas has been a jaded disappointment ever since. This year is the first in 2 decades I'm actually putting a Christmas tree up as the family are out of the country until the week before Christmas. I've even replaced the threadbare plastic tree we've had between us for 4 decades and not told them yet. I'm trying to do away with my habitual festive scroogeness and go for a little cheer this year. (not even sure this counts as an entry, but it was cathartic!)

Thomas Perry

I have never painted a mini in my life though I have two armies. If I win I will give this to a mate who DOES paint his mini but not tell him I won them for free in the hope of guilting him into not destroying me with his Thousand Sons army

David Hardy

I run a secret Santa every year with my in-laws. I rig it every time to ensure that I get someone easy to buy for. I’m also so militant about it being a secret, that I don’t even tell my wife who got who.

Adrian Sz

I don't drill out my gun barrels.

Marcus Smith

Boltgun ammunition was, according to at least one source around 2nd edition, described as being caseless. Despite literally all subsequent art and descriptions depicting bolters ejecting an avalanche brass; despite the rule of cool; and despite not even being able to recall the original source of this half-remembered factoid I will, undeterred and with no sense of proportion, happily harp on to anyone who'll listen about how *actually* all those depictions are wrong and contradict the original fluff. I am 43 years old.

Joe Bowden

I often eat all the pigs in blankets, leaving my family to eat the scraps of my conquest.

Jan Arcyman

I never read the holiday greetings or wishes on cards, I just go straight to checking if there’s any cash inside just like the Wimpy Kid

Ben

I painted as a kid my heroquest(1990’s Xmas gift) minis ,” basecoating” white using correction fluid & “painting” using whiteboard markers. 30+years later they are still in this sorry state and are my pride & shame when I visit my childhood home where they still sit on the shelves.

Phil Pritchard

Despite being an avid Arbitor Ian viewer, I’ve not played a GW miniatures game in nearly twenty years, I’ve been purely video game based since i was a late teen. Though I still have every model I’ve ever bought.

Matt Nathan

Blessed is the tinsel too tinsel for doubt!!!

Sarah Ewing

I love those P-I-L-E-S O-F Shame, those holiday P-I-L-E-S O-F Shame, Those happy P-I-L-E-S O-F S-H, a and m then e, I love those P-I-L-E-S O-F Shame Piles of Shame, Piles of Shame Shaming all the way Oh what fun is to paint through the all the kits you on shelves

Scomo

I do not play, and have no interest in playing 40K, and yet my pile of grey shame is boundless, like a sunless sea. Instead I paint, with a shaky hand and liberal use of sponging, for the moment of zen it provides. Blood Angels, Night Lords, Black Consuls, Lamenters - I like the cursed and fanatical. Paint for the paint god, plastic for the pile of shame. Feed my habit.

Roberticus1992

I haven't played in 16 years but I live 5 minutes from the Bad Moon Cafe :(

Philip Woolley

I still have models that I got for Christmas is 2001 that I need to paint.

Chris Probert

Last year I used a Santa sack (which we use for kids to hide my pile of shame in). My kids found it a few months ago and have very unrealistic expectation of number of gifts they will receive!!!

Tim

I think when it comes to festive shame. Games Workshop/Warhammer should hang the their heads. They have failed to release the model we all want this time of year. Rudolph the Red Nose Rough Rider.

Dalga Faik

My great shame is that I had a long, long gap in my hobby days between stopping working for GW and then diving head first back in around the arrival of the Primaris... however... your videos have done excellent work in catching me back up! Thank you!

simon harper

The year: 1994, the Day: 25th December, the gift: a Babylon 5 Starfury MK1 Special Edition with Collector Pin made by Revell. One day I will assemble it, maybe, who knows. I also have a USS Voyager from season 1 to be assembled. Edited to add, the Starfury came with a certificate of authenticity signed by J Michael Straczynski

CLARKIE

Those that know me know I have no shane 🤣 Have recently got into gunpla and the dopamine hit it gives is almost as addictive as drugs though 🤣

Jeroen Brugman

I promised myself I would only buy new mini's after painting everything I own, over and over again for the last 35 years. Still haven't got a single army painted...

Ian Anderson

Honestly, the most shameful thing (I'm willing to admit) is that even after selling all of my Primaris, I still have a full Space Marine army... completely unpainted. Happy Sanguinalia, everyone!

Lucid Intent

I painted my first ever Ork red, because of the red orcs in Warcraft.

Alex Cashell

I once sold my Ork army in the middle of an escalation campaign to start a Horus heresy army and ghosted the other players

Kurious

I picked up a small space marine army when it first came out (yay for wombles) .. then proceeded to paint them a combo of day-glo green, gloss red and gloss black. If I could find them in the loft, I'd need sunglasses to look at them.

TheSunnyOne

This is not a story of shame, for I refuse to feel it. Instead it is a mildly entertaining story of my perfect wit & charm (/s) Over 20 years ago now, I bought my sibling an Eldar blister pack for Christmas. I was in my teens, not a huge amount of money, and it was the best I could do. I did not wrap this blister pack, I instead put it inside a small box, and then I put that small box in a slightly bigger box, and that box within a slightly bigger box, and so on until the box was around the size of a CRT TV. I then wrapped that box, and placed it under the tree. My sibling getting excited and curious about such a large present, what could it be? Needless to say, that Christmas was great and everybody stood up and laughed and clapped (my sibling threw the boxes at me but then said thankyou).

Mulbelgium

Many years ago my brother was delighted to receive an Action Man armoured car as his main Christmas present. Nowadays we would look at the thin moulded plastic shell with wheels, something akin to a military themed bucket, as simplistic and 'poorly sculpted'. But he loved it. He spent all of Christmas morning with Action Man in the cupola on maneuvers around the living room, eagle eyes switch in the back of his head flicking backwards and forwards, on the lookout for enemy combatants. There was a brief skirmish with the cat, and a recce mission into the kitchen was repelled by frustrated turkey stuffers. Come time for Christmas dinner, the armoured car was parked up in what he clearly imagined was the appropriate bay in the vehicle pool... ...by the fireplace. As we ate and ate and ate, the plastic of the armoured car was slowly heated to the point where, although not melted, the carapace of the vehicle was softened... This is where I come in. Not much more than a whippersnapper myself, once every last morsel of Christmas dinner was consumed, I bounded from the table and ran over to the sofa to get the prime position for watching whatever festive treat the BBC had planned for early evening - probably involving Noel Edmonds. En route, in my enthusiasm, I slipped and although I did not fall, I stumbled and put my hands out to steady myself...onto the armoured car. I hit the AFV with the same disastrous effect as a high calibre anti-tank shell, collapsing it's side and leaving a scene of devastation reminiscent of the Battle of Kursk. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. My brother was distraught, Christmas was ruined and Action Man had to go back to doing recon on his skis. On the up side, my climing-rope-action Batman was fine. So it wasn't a total loss.

After this jogged my memory I had to watch it on YouTube. Weird realising as an adult who Paul McCartney. Then Windsor Davies and June Whitfield show up in the credits!

Huw Price

Christmas confession. A few years ago I ate a whole two layered box of toffifee after a full Christmas dinner. A few hours later norovirus symptoms kicked in and I spent the entire night being sick inyo the toilet and the next three days in bed wishing I was dead. I still bloody love toffifee though.

Felix Downie

For year I'd get my mum the new terry prachett book for Xmas and evey year i couldn't resist reading it first so I'd open it as little as possible and read the hole thing in a Xmas eve binge that would normally last all night then spend Xmas day trying to stay awake and the next week pretending I haven't read it

Lozotehu

It is a shame that I cannot properly express my shame about my greatest shame to you, because of shamefully low English. Anyways! I have to confess that i'm here to help you with your pile of shame and now to participate in the trial of shame. What a shame.

Jeff Stock

The first Christmas I was of legal drinking age, my cousins and I had a lot of beer on an empty stomach before dinner. When we were finally called to join the family, I fell down the stairs standing up, but managed to maintain my pint of beer without spilling. It was a Christmas miracle!

Sonny Ross

When I was a kid I would sneak downstairs and carefully open my gifts that I k ew were gameboy games and play them all night, wrap them up and do the same thing the next night. I was rumbled on the 3rd night and was told that Santa was very upset.

Chris Bewley

When I was in basic training as a military officer, I once spent 6 hours on an large exercise looking for a missing soldier...the mysterious ''Officer Cadet Benlex''. I was in command of a crack team (standing in the vacinity when it came up) of colleagues and took on the mission to investigate what had happened to the missing Officer. After 6 hours of leading a team of 8 baby officers on a search and rescue mission all over the training ground, at night, in a snowstorm. Covering about 15km on foot...we finally called made it back to our starting point. When I stood looking at the name after we had failed...It dawned on me that...if the name were only a little different...it would be my surname (Bewley)...It turns out someone had had written my surname down incorrectly on the duty roster board...and I had in fact...been looking for myself...all along. It took me a while to live that down...and in certain circles, I am still known as Benlex.

Patrick Pelham

I have bought multiple full armies only to change my mind after reading another book. Various squads remain from past machinations of glory (Fafnir Rann and breacher impfists, mk III jump pack ravengers, Orican and Trazin) the shame grows as I continue to read😅

WatchingBrian

I work at a hotel in Switzerland and tend to do a lot of overtime. On my 6th work day in a row, a hotel guest that I checked in a few days prior chatted me up with "Working again, huh!?", to which I replied in my semi-conscious state with "Yeah, tents to be the case when you have a job." Only later did I find out that from the bartender that they came to Switzerland as a pick me up, after having been laid off the week before... I felt really awkward making eye contact with the poor dude for the rest of the stay. :/

Tofty

Two Christmas past I asked for a basic resin printer, so I could get back into the hobby by making a nice cheap proxy army of Space Dwarves. I'd always liked the old Squats, but got into 40K for the first time just after they had been discontinued. Old copies of White Dwarf and the 2nd edition starter box taunted me with photos and information on these little fellas. I started looking for suitable model STLs on the usual sites and found some decent free files. However these minis were scaled a bit larger than I suspected the old Squats were, so I needed to get hold of an original Squat model to use as a point of reference. One was purchased, then a few more, just to make sure their heights were consistent. Then I found a limited edition 3rd party resin Dwarf Titan model and a Kickstarter for updated retro Exo-Suits and got a few Squat bikes, etc. 2 years on; I'm so close to being finished with the collection, as I have almost every type of Squat miniature, the vast majority of Space Dwarf minis still sold and more than a thousand unique digital sculpts. However, the printer has yet to leave it's box and not a drop of paint has so far been applied. New years resolution perhaps?

Tyres O'Flaherty

Recently back into the hobby I haven't had a huge chance to build my own shame up yet. I have however been roped into helping my dad clear his. No joke the old man has 10s of thousands of points in marines, his shed is like a distribution centre. He's like, 'you can help me with the allies' and sticks me with a baneblade and imperial knight right off the bat. It's been somewhat of a project, I sensibly managed to completly move house half way through which was all good fun. Anyway, I see the light at the end of the tunnel and am now spending far too much time looking at what army I would like for myself. I'd love a fresh set of paints to kick it off.

George Haynes

Last year I picked up a Magnus the Red for a super knocked down price from my local FLAGS. I say FLAGS but it was actually a comic book store that stocked GW stuff but the shop owner was stopping this in the new year. I got the only Magnus the Red in the store, he had been sitting on the shelf for around 2 years, as wave after wave of spaces marines came and went Magnus just sat there. So when I was at the counter I told the shop owner I would let him know how I got on a bring The Crimson King in after I had finished. Cut to a year later and Magnus is still in shrink rap and the Shop I brought him from no longer exists.

Jack O'Donovan

Got back into the hobby during lockdown, thinking I'll pick up 3 Necron warriors to have on my desk and that'll be it. I'm now an avid collector of Necrons, Grey knights and Imperial knights with an unhealthy backlog of printed models I'll 'get to' including models that no longer have rules

Not that old slann

I've embraced the slow and steady accretion of my pile of shame to the point I'm beginning to consider it an element of roleplay, because just like a slann, I'm reading the aetheric web for the perfect alignments (of deals), watching over the developments of promising individuals (independent sculptors) and even at rare times influencing them with ideas, all to further a great plan long in the making, the mustering of the greatest army of the old slanni. and I'm close, very close, I've got all the slim slann that I consider worth getting both old and new, fantasy and sci fi and anything in-between, ready in the spawning pools (just waiting to be primed and for work to let me go home next year). to give an idea of the geological timescales I've made my own, one of the longest planned acquisitions of one (1) space slann took over 3 years between search, talk, wait, barter and shipment (and it was worth it, considering the unreleased nature). once I also assembled a short Christmas tree made entirely of cardboard cutouts from the boxes of the various purchases made during the holydays of that year, and I fully recommend it: they can't call it a pile of shameful compulsive purchases if it's a cardboard tree with santa's presents underneath.

JustEd_73

I recently sold all my 2nd ed. 40k treasures that I originally purchased new as a lad. This had the opposite intended effect as it rekindled my interest in the hobby after a 20 plus year hiatus. Starting with an Eldar Combat Patrol from my local game store to now having about 2500 pts. maybe 70% painted. The pile, now, is at least double what I have sold off. My “project ADD” and compulsive buying has led me to starting a Dark Angels and Deathwing Assault Terminator army, Horus Heresy Dark Angels, HH World Eaters, HH Knights and HH Mechanicum as well as multiple themed terrain pieces and game boards, some NIB, some under construction. I am repurposing a room in my house to game and hobby in, I have won a local painting competition with a Dark Angels Lt. from the older Combat Patrol, which I still need to finish, on book 6 of the Horus Heresy, and doing more in the hobby now than ever has also reignited my interest in art. The old 40k stuff was just so weirdly punk and cool. Maybe I’ll start drawing again as I probably missed my calling in life as an artist. Love your lore videos and content, keep up the inspiring work. Thank you. P.s. As the day went on I thought; I also have some stellar, NIB treasures awaiting the hobby knife: A Fortress of Redemption, Plasma Obliterators, (yes plural-2) Horus Heresy Angron & The Lion, 40k Angron & The Lion, Vengeance Weapon Battery, misch Wall of Martyrs stuff and a 3rd ed. box set NIB… a shameful pile of confessional shame I am totally not ashamed of. My friends and family already know I’m crazy. I am not a collector, I’m a gamer and aspiring modeler, painter. Collectible or not these will get painted and hit the table top. Joining a local game group has helped me keep on track for hobby goals and keeps me from being a grumpy hermit. Merry Christmas! Keep on modeling and gaming on!

rob_sothoth

I remember the Christmas my dad bought "me" a full on train-set. Hornby models which are hard to find now, terrain and miles and miles of tracks and what became clear to me, was that the man had clearly bought "me" the gift as an excuse to play with toys in a way that my mum wouldn't find objectionable, lol. Since I got to mess about with cool toy trains, I was happy to provide cover for any notional shame he may have had at the time.

Kev Thed

I have a Lion mini base coated lying shamefully on my coffee table. He was damaged in cross-atlantic transit, and his broken leg has taunted me every day for three months. The worst part is that he was a gift from a dear friend back home, who I then had the gall to ask if they'd grab me the new Dark Angels battleforce box as it had sold out near me. I now have 2 Lions, waiting to be assembled again and painted, on either side of the globe. The shame grows....

Thedoc360

After a bit of a Warhammer break i came back to the hobby recently and decided rather than finish my badly painted aeldari i would start again with some necrons. Ebayed some warriors and built them a couple of weeks ago. Progress was going well all primed and ready to paint then my wife and daughter got the flu so they went on my desk as a reminder to paint. Anyhow one night I'm just about to start after looking after the sick for the day and just as brush touched model my daughter bursts in complaining of a stomach ache then proceeds to projectile vomit over most of them. Its fair to say no amount of water can clean them and to be honest i cant look at them the same so they will probably forever stay primed and fairly cemented into the pile of shame.

Not even sure nurgle would want them, although its a pretty good idea for a plauge themed necron army.
