Im bored at work, last time this got some good results, so lets hear em.

Horror stories! Bad opponents, tournaments or reactions at shops. Had an awful game? I wana hear it

Lets get a bit of a support group going, what are some of your best stories of the worst behavior

Fire Away!

So at this FLGS, before it closed down, there were these two dudes that just DID NOT like each other. One was a pretty cool dude overall. He had a Space Marine force, and lovingly converted all of his characters. Never bought the official models for any of the characters, and converted all his generics. One that particularly stood out to me was his Terminator dude with a chainsaw for the arm. It was cool. The other dude was a man that, while sometimes kind to the newer players to give tips, wasn't fun to actually play against. Nidzilla was pretty fun for him to use, and use he did.

Now, I don't know what their rivalry started over as both these guys were veterans over there, and I had only been there a few months at that point. However, it almost came to blows at one point for crying out loud. Eventually, like out of a fething high school film, they decided to settle it on a game, where the winner got to keep the opponent's HQ of their choice.
Like out of a fething movie.

So, this game had been going on for awhile. It was a 2000 point game, and I had only been playing 1000 point games at that point (which is pretty hilarious as Necrons. We only had a single, legal 500 point list haha), so I was fascinated with how many models these dudes had and how long this game was going, and I watched the entire thing. After about two hours, the Tyranid player had almost been tabled, and agreed that he lost. Like out of a fething high school movie, the two opponents shook hands, and the Tyranid player handed over his Hive Tyrant, lovingly painted and crafted.
AND THEN THE SPACE MARINE PLAYER PUTS IT ON THE GROUND AND STOMPS ON IT. I felt a chill down my spine as I saw it. The Tyranid player took it like a gentleman, saying it was now his to ruin.

Eventually the Tyranid player had been recruited by the Navy, I think it was, and he had finally decided to cheap-shot the Space Marine player with a quick uppercut to the jaw for the display he did that day. Can't say I blame him, as the Space Marine player did unleash an inner jerk, but it was pretty over the top for an event that had happened a year earlier.

Anyone who would rather destroy a model then donate or sell it is an absolute idiot lol

Glorious!

thanks, I wanted to wait till my first post so it didn't auto update.


I have two, one at the Local GW store and one at a FLGS

The local GW was having an average Thursday (new player/painting day) and two players got into it. Not really vets or big wigs in the community and these weren't spindly small nerds more like obese bears willing to swing. It gets loud and they leave, somehow in an almost unrelated occurance a guy from the Bdubs next door also having a bad day rolls out and gets mouthy with a few people in the parking lot. including the two dudes who left the shop. He pushed someone or threatened someone and had the cops called

so the cops get called and he tries to fight one and gets rocked! The entire store watched it unfold!

TLDR This jock ends up trying to fight a female cop who responded to him being belligerent and gets fething owned!

The FLGS

I was there playing a big game of 40K with my brother, and these two guys got a PUG for warmachine (I guess) an obvious vet and a kid who said he was brand new, and had played like three starter games.

Fiftenn minutes into the game, the veteran is foaming at the mouth and yelling at this kid (like 16) because of fire arcs and how he cant do what ever it is. The kid calmly points out how he could (I don't warmachine) and the vet grabs his bag and throws it at the wall next to the newbie. The bag wasn't zipped and models of course went everywhere.
The owner came back and tried to kick out the newbie (thinking it was his fault) we quickly fixed that and the vet was literally purple in the face as he packed his gear....good times man.

See I wouldn't care for the drama but, if I won a Tyrant I would display it or loving dismantle it for trophy bits on my tanks/terrain/troops. You could say you earned it AND you wouldn't have to paint it. Seems like a win win to me. Shame it got smashed.

I'm sure I've posted it before, but here, once again, is the story of Paradigm and the Four Sicariuses...

The only time I've been really irritated during a game was when we set up a multiplayer apoc game at the club after we'd all played a 1k point match. We tried to go for an even split of age, experience and skill on each side to keep things fair, but the group of kids insisted they all stick together. I had no real issue with this, as it was all for fun and I got on better with the guys my side anyway. We agreed 2.5-3k per player, and got to building lists.

Things only really got annoying when we got to deploynent. One kid on the other side went to set up, and anyone who knew the SM codex well enough could see at a glance that he was easily a good 1k points over the limit. I asked him if he could drop to the level we had all agreed. While he cut some stuff, I could tell he was still about 500 over, but at that point I just wanted to get on with the game.

He leaves 4 Tactical Squads aside when we deploy, and I ask what he was doing with them, as he had no transports or pods and wasn't reserving them. His answer:
"Sicarius lets them Infiltrate."
I point out that only applies to one squad.
"Yes, but I have 4 of him in my army. But it's OK, they've all got different names!"

Eventually he just sets them up as normal and relegates 3/4 Sicariuses to captains. Throughout the game, which was actually decent in terms of gameplay, he's hardly ever off his phone sending constant texts (and reading each aloud to his friends) and generally ruined the game for those of us who all knew that we could have played several smaller games in the time he wasted that afternoon.

What did I do? Gritted my teeth, got on with it and hoped he would eventually grow up. At the next month's session, I also tabled his Crons in 4 turns, but that was largely coincidence!

Why do all of the most ridicilous events come from the US, seriously? We just had a 40 year old threatening to burn his miniatures a few months back, and every time there's something like this it's from 'murica.

Not really massively bad to me but some funny stories i recall. When Mordheim was released the local GW had a big demo day on where people could come in and try out the game with some scenarios they came up with. A great idea for an interesting game so me and a few friends went along with a few models. I think they just said 4 models from one army or something like that it was pretty loose so the game starts and there is this one damn kid who had some Chaos forces i believe Bloodletters. The game starts and he starts talking about stuff in his codex chaos gifts and stuff and is told he can't use that here. Next damn kid decides to start trying to bend rules as much as he can or outright cheat trying to move other peoples models or his own constantly arguing the toss about everything. All he really wanted to do was try to kill everyone and not go for the goal we were given which would have been fine if he wasn't such a pain in the backside to deal with trying to move his unit an extra inch or two to get closer to people. After a while everyone who had been racing each other to grab the treasure or whatever it was that they set up for us to win the game just turned around and all attacked this kids unit. He got mauled by 4-5 groups and of course he wasn't happy about it and stormed off. Everyone else had fun playing the game after that. I'll just never forget his face which was as red as his Bloodletters when everyone just turned around and went after him.

Another local GW short story i recall was one of the Saturdays where it used to get pretty busy and they had a few tables open for people to book to come in and play some games. That day me and a friend got some painting tables and were working on some stuff and just generally relaxing. One of the table games was anything but relaxed the two people about my age at the time maybe 14-15 were getting into an increasingly aggressive argument over their game don't really remember what it was about but a disagreement over some rules was turning into a full blown argument. Red shirts come over and try to end the debate by explaining the rules they were arguing over and it simmers down a bit. Next thing we know about 5 minutes later it starts up again but one kid decides to punch the other and is escorted outside. The store policy at the time especially for young people was to send people who got too angry outside for 10 minutes to cool off and then let them back in and warn them that they'll be banned if they carry on. This kid goes outside and calms down the one who got punched also calms down and decides he wants to make up and not fight.

After 10 minutes are up the red shirt goes to tell angry kid that the other guy wants to shake hands and make up and he'll be allowed back in. Angry kid comes back in and heads over to the guy he punched I'm just thinking "Okay they'll shake hands and it'll be the end of it" i was wrong. Angry kid walks up to him and just punches him again and of course gets banned forever picks up his stuff and is escorted out never to be seen again. I heard a story from somebody who went to school with angry kid that he moved to another place like 6 months later and became a regular at the GW there and got banned from that one too but i don't know if there was any truth to that.

I remember less than a year ago, there was one post claiming that a 'Murican FLGS had a guy throwing a tantrum and eventually ended up pulling out a gun and shot the opponent's Land Raider. Good stuff, even though I don't believe it.

More of a shame story (my shame) than a horror.

Was at a WPS tournament in Nottingham (quite) a few years ago with my Ravenwing (this is 3rd edition days), a team tournament and our team was intending to do well.

My first game was against an 11 year old kid and his Ultramarines - I turn to my team mates with a smug smile. 'I think I have this one in the bag...'

I should have twigged what was happening during the game. I took the time to explain to the kid what I was doing and what rules each of my models had - and he was finishing my sentences for me. The kid already knew all the rules, inside out (it occurred to me later that he was pretty much me at that age).

Anyway, I got absolutely schooled in that game, and endured much mockery from my team mates.

In the second round, one of them faced the kid. In my own game (against Eldar, as I recall), I finished early (and won!), and went to the bar to relax. When my team mate came in, I saw immediately what had happened.

'He's a hard man,' my mate said.

Golden Rule: Don't take wins for granted...

My only good story is a classic.

Played my first Apoc game back when the book had just come out, and we were all stoked to give it a shot.

So we scheduled a 4k point game (2k per player 2v2). Keeping it easy with 1 LoW per side. The game was my Salamanders and my best bro's Iron Hands vs 2 Tyranid players.

So we show up for the game and the LGS shop keeper says something to us over the crowd that player 4 couldn't make it... but his little brother is there in his place. I was pretty sure I didn't hear that right because player 4 was a pretty dedicated guy, but w/e. (I probably just didn't want to hear that right.)

So we get downstairs and sure enough player 3 is unloading his 'nids and player 4's little bro (age 11) is there unboxing his orks. I think, "Whatever, sure dirty xenos is dirty xenos..."

Well little guy obviously didn't get the memo on the preset rules for force org and proceeds to unload 3 count em 3 stompas. I nudge my buddy and under my breath tell him we got this in the bag. Game begins and they deploy and go T1.

Now, they're just laughing because the MCs spread out and the bugs and orks make good progress to the cps. My buddy just had a fully mechanized IH army tanks aplenty (fell blade included) and just lines up along the backfield patiently waiting for my 2k drop pod army to fall. So they end their turn after miserable shooting. I drop in and literally direct hit all 5 incoming drop pods as their jaws fall open and 30 melta sternguard pop out with Vulkan He'stan at the vanguard. Along with plenty of tacs to boot.

I hop out and proceed to melt all 3 stompas and plenty of poison rounds were thrown to take down a couple MCs. So, after turning all the vehicles to slag, they pick their jaws up off the floor... and it escalates so quickly the room spins. The kid proceeds to go super sayian and run around to the edge of the table and push THE ENTIRE 6X6 BATTLESCAPE, UNITS AND ALL, OFF THE TABLE!!! We couldn't get over there to stop him in time and eight thousand points of models terrain and all falls to the cement floor!

The entire building hears the crash and everyone runs to investigate. We're all standing there in shock and the kid screams and runs out of the store.

Buddy and I lost some arms and legs, but nothing else really. Some terrain was broke, and needless to say the kid was banned from the store. So be careful with your tactics people, people may get upset.

I watched a game where a Tyranid player used a massive Reserve/deepstrike List...4-5 tyranocytes fühl of stealers...gargoyles etc.. Played a guard player who placed his gunline sooooo static...nothing to go for objectives...turn two all tyra pods dropped.. Like 60 stealers Mass of hormagaunts enter the Field... I Tell the guard player...Mate shoot em.... He Tells me.. No priests make guard blobs hardest melee Unit evaaaaaaaaaaaa.
He didnt shoot... He attacked the stealers... And he tried to shoot the hormagaunts with leman russ.. I Tell him... If you scatter.. Ur in serious Problems...
He scatters, kills his own hq, charges his infantry into the stealers... Stealers and hormis freck everything.
Best part was when he deepstriked his kasrkin very near to the table Edge... Mishaps because he Choose the entre Point so near to the Edge not all troops could be placed on the table Even he roled a Hit for ds....

Back when I used to live in upstate New York I was playing in a local tournament during 5th edition. First two rounds hadn't gone well for me as I'd pulled the hardest two players there, and was soundly trounced despite my best efforts, and for the third and final round managed a draw. As it turns out I'd lost to the top 2 for the day, and drew against 3rd place. 3rd place became upset since the draw kept him from 1st place (mind you before this the only places he's ever held in a tournament was last or next to last) and was particularly mad at me for not just conceding (I actually make it a rule to not concede because even if my army is going down in flames there is still a chance to win, tie, or at minimum learn something new) and threw a fit, storming off, leaving behind the nicely made trophy he'd won (the guy running it made trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, using models painted gold, silver and bronze and mounting them on nice wood pedestals, seriously, they were nicely made and I thought the effort was really cool), and while he hadn't won a huge amount, he had still won a decent store credit prize. So in short I watched a 30+ year old man throw a tantrum like a 5 year old because he didn't win a tournament, despite placing in the top 3.

Hillarious!
It takes a really confident person to march out their own defeat in a thread like this.
Well done.

I brought an Elysian list to a tournament this weekend, I haven't been to a tournament in some time so I bring things like rocket pods and a Punisher Vulture. First game was against a team with a Stompa and some allied Eldar, no infantry models on the table except a Mek Guns unit. I scooped turn two after half my army disappeared in trade for three grots.

Got a pickup game at my LGS against a Tau player, 2.5k pts. He drops three of those riptide things from FW, the R'Vana things. Anyway, I'm already wincing at that and yet he had more to show (three Tau flyers) and even from that moment I did believe I was going to lose; my IG force isn't particularly competitive to start with. Either way, the IG wouldn't quit the fight simply because the opponent came with a particularly deadly army! So I brought in my FOR from the car and began setting up in a corner, planning to try and castle to protect the arty and concentrate my defences.

From the moment he sees me beginning to set up the FOR he begins bitching about me bringing 'OP' 'Cheese' 'Unfair' 'bs' yadayadayada. I then ask him, "Why do believe it's unfair or overpowered? Have you faced one before?" to which he responds. "You get 4 sections of AV14 gak for about the price of a land raider!" I then pointed him towards the list I had given him and said that I had in fact paid 520 points for the FOR and he instantly responds, "Well that just proves it's overpowered, that's Baneblade level!." Spending the next 10 odd minutes listening to him whine about it whilst I set up the rest of my army, he started saying he'd go play against someone else. I finally managed to convince him to at least try and we started the game (By this point I had decided I would never be playing him again but would still see this game through).

He was still grumbling through the entirety of turn 1 even though my army was dying by the bucket-load and achieved little in retaliatory fire. My Fortress was then destroyed by turn 2 and the rest of my army tabled by turn 4. Having killed virtually nothing of his army. As we're packing up afterwards he says, "Your army's gak you know, you should work on making it competitive because it's not fun facing an army that just collapses.". I just gritted my teeth and didn't respond but he really pissed me off; the game wasn't the problem because I can take getting wiped out as fluffy... I just couldn't stand his attitude.

Some people, by the Emperor. How does he have anyone left to play? An attitude like that would scare away just about any good sport.

That's your mistake right there my friend. It's never a sin to walk away from a TFG or to let him head head for the door. "Wrestling with pigs..." and all that.

Fair enough point. Might have just been too lazy to re-pack everything

Hit you with my best shot? OK, you asked for it...

Warhammer 40,000 is a good game.

/drop mic, exit stage left

Played a guy who asked if I had any anti-air. I said an ADL and a Nephilim Jetwing. He built a list right then and there and brought Iron Hands CT 2 Storm Ravens and 3 Storm Talons. Never saw or played that douche again.

Best way is to trade lists from the start. Pre-made, no making lists after you've seen the other person's that way.

Aye. This was a random PUG, as my guy I made a game ahead of time with bailed. This guy was also known for apparently being TFG, so now I know.

After that final insult, I wouldn't have cared about consequences, I would have bitch-slapped that fool very hard. You never insult your opponent's army even if you think it is crap or looks like crap. So glad I haven't had an experience like this or any other I've read in this thread (cuz I might be in jail if it happened to me with my temper!). When I play, I respect my opponent and at least try to learn from them. I always have a good attitude even when I get the crap blown out of my army. But I fear the day that someone does to me what these people have been doing to you guys, because I don't know if I could continue to be civilized with them. I'm not proud of this fact.

I have had constant problems with this one family. A father his 3 sons. Whenever I play them, it is teeth grinding, they ragequit every turn, batch about powerful combos and so forth. The best is they think they deserve any prize money because reasons. I go know just to win and take the money from them

Haha, I can understand that. There are times when you get opponents like that and you want to simply deck them. I hope you keep getting good opponents though and don't encounter TFG.

Whenever I'm asked "are you bringing X?" I say "Maybe. Who knows? You'll have to find out once you've written your list."

I like this.

Grey Knight players accusing pre-WD update Daemons of being OP cheesefests & outright breaking 40k because of Fateweaver...


At least now I can really infuriate them with my LoC rocking his trusty Boomstick + paired Greater Gifts and 3 levels of Divination. Getting Precognition results in epic rage-quits as that Greater becomes somewhat unstoppable, all the while golfing shiny marines across the board!

Well, to be fair the US have like 60 times more people than Finland. So assuming that the precent of players is similar, there should be like 60 times as many players.
So for every ridiculous story about a TFG from Finland, there should be sixty similar from the States

With that being said, in a tournament held at a FLGS a kid (something like 16 yo) playing Tyranids lost a game agains SW and threw the opponent's Stormwolf to the wall.
I shattered to a hundred pieces and the kid was Banner from the store.
