You can probably guess I agree. I tend to find people have fun games, win or lose, against a proper gribbly tryanid swarm. I had a game early in 6th edition against a dark angels demi-company who'd brought (a) the fortress of redeption and (b) the standard of devastation against my 2,000 point army list, which can be summed up as "seven tervigons and a big-ass cardboard box full of gaunts".

Just as the game started, Klendathu Drop came on on the store sound system....


But yeah, from a Tyranid Perspective, maxing out on Winged Tyrants is probably the way to go (plus inevitable venomthrope 'launch pad').

This was pretty much what I envisioned when I thought about contributing to this topic. I don't think I'd even be mad playing against the massive table full of orks/grots/guardsmen. It would be fun to set up a fire warrior defensive line and just see how many I could kill before they overwhelmed me.

Wouldn't 4 storm talons do better? Or do you like SR vs dakka tyrants better?

Bring as many Khorne Berzerkers and Daemon Princes as you can fit in your bag and field them, regardless of point value. If someone questions you, refer to a made up "The Blood God Demands" special rule that allows you to field them. Convince everyone you are able to that it's a real rule by spreading it around and acting like you're reading it from the book. Pat yourself on the back for teaching your opponent about the rules of the game.

Make sure that whatever you do, you challenge every action by the other player, regardless of how minute, so that they begin to doubt themselves. Once you've done that, make more audacious claims. Begin making up rules that deny people their shooting phase or are otherwise obviously full of crap, and force them to roll off if they disagree. There's a 50/50 shot that you can break the game in your favor! How fun!

Pick a model that you like (for the sake of argument, let's say Possessed), and make up some rules for them (let's say, give them an AP3 'Warpflame' shooting attack). Play them this way without batting an eye, and rely on your opponent's kindness and the fact that you're playing a glorified game of army men to keep him from asking to see your rulebook. When he doesn't question it, add bonus special effects, like telling him it removes Fleet. You'll totally stomp him, guaranteed!

The key element to all of this though is to act above everyone else, and justify your blatant cheating and inconsideration by telling everyone that it's "just a game" and that they're taking it too seriously if they get upset with you. After all, it's a game for fun, so you can basically do whatever you want as long as you get away with it, and they're going to learn the rules and become better players because of it. OH! Man that's the most important part! Above all else, do not listen to reason, and continue to tell yourself that cheating and lying to other players is really the most fun way to play, and that it helps them grow as players. Anyone who agrees with you really knows that 40k is all about making stuff up and trying to deceive your opponent, and anyone who disagrees with you is taking a game of toy soldiers waayyyyy to seriously, and they should lighten up. I mean it's just a game come on who cares who cheats and lies it's not like THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE GAME IS FOR BOTH PLAYERS TO HAVE A GOOD TIME AND PLAY A GAME THEY ENJOY. Christ.

When you inevitably lose, rage quit and call everyone else beardy cheese-mongers who are ruining the game. Refer to your opponent's army as douchy netlist spam, even if it's a highlander list. Insist on looking up all the rules, including things like how far Wave Serpents can move in the movement phase, how the jink rule works, whether or not your Devastators have the interceptor special rule, etc. Always argue that your units have line of sight, even when they are in reserves. Sigh loudly every time you lose a model. Complain about the internet. Go on long rants about how the game is meant to be played. Refuse to accept how random rules work, and demand they instead be played how you think they should be played. Keep mentioning how things were different (and better) in 2nd edition. Always blame something (or someone) else for your lack of success.


That ought to do it.

The best part of this post is the "1 Attack Bike" clause.

You speak as if in sarcasm towards this method of playing this wonderful game. Truly you can not infer that the benevolence of lying and cheating to new players as a method of teaching them the rules of the game is not indeed the best method of teaching? Haven't you heard the saying "Tell a man the rules and he'll know them for the match but lie and cheat till the man, in paranoia, checks every rule every time against everyone for fear of being taken for a fool again and he will know the rules for life!" Of course we can't ignore that no matter how much of a jerk you may seem, the fact you donate thousands of dollars to start up LGC and essentially give away your armies for new players to start playing with, well this all absolves you of any wrongdoing of course. It's like confessing your sins, except you don't agree with anyone that they were sins in the first place cause they were "fun". Ok sorry I'll stop, just thinking about this any further is making my head hurt and giving me nightmares again.
