''No that's an Irongut.''
''NO, that's a bull

He looks at me and walks away. No kidding here.

As a fellow Ogre player, that rather hurts.... I think that we have one of the easiest to distinguish armies in all of fantasy.. Everything is just so BIG that if you can't tell what weapon is what..


A while back, I was running my (now defunct) Tyranids against my buddy's BT.. On turn 1, My Zoanthrope shot his LR hiding in cover (he failed the cover save, so the shot hit). When I rolled for pen, It penned his 14, but he tried to explain that he had Blessed Hull (which he did not, he didnt have the points for it, nor did he include it in the first place)... Basically his logic was that ALL land raiders in a BT army have BH, no matter if he payed for the upgrade or not. The best part about it was, because I blew up the Raider, I then wounded most of the squad that BOTH Grimaldus AND Helbrecht were attached to. They then foot slogged about half way across the board, to meet my Tyrant who promptly Paroxysm'd them (repeatedly) and had a nice tasty snack.

Isn't that technically a legitimate question? Codex: demons aren't really known for their dakka. There are only 4 units I think that can actually fire in the shooting phase :

Soulgrinder
Horrors
Flamers
Lord of change

No, it is not a legitimate question. While it is true that people don't associate Daemons with being highly shooty, there are precisely zero (0) armies that are incapable of shooting. And that's besides the Heralds of Tzeentch that I thought everyone knew about.

A legitimate question may have been "9 Horrors have HOW MANY shots?!?"

Only the friendly grudge-throwing between me (a respectable Orcs & Goblins Warboss) and my Dwarf nemesis.
You know stuff like "I'd decapitate your Dwarf general, but my Warboss can't see him over the grass" or something.

Not by anyone other than 'n00bs'. I've had similar experinces to the OP's where some new kid has told me my army is bad because it's all T3 or it all has bad saves. Basically because each model doesn't have the profile of a Space Marine

Actually, on the topic of armies, specifically, I've gotten more than a few comments on the color of my Space Wolves army. I painted it with Vallejo colors, I forget which two, but it was basically a mixture of a bright blue and a dark blue. For a long while I got a lot of questions as to why my army is blue, and not gray. I don't know about any of you, but to me, the so-called "grey" color in the codex looks like a light shade of blue.

My IG tanks: painted shadow grey. What colour does everyone think they are? You guessed it.

My friend constantly whines about GK being OP. It would be fair enough (They are only slightly OP in my books, hyperbole is a bitch) if we weren't playing 1000 point games. GK are most certainly not OP in 1000 points, especially with my 150 point handicap in the form of Crowe.

I've had a GK player cry Daemons are OP and impossible to beat because of the 2++ save from blessings of the blood god...

...Which is limited to just 'thirsters, khorne heralds, flesh hounds & khorne princes.

I play BT pretty hardcore about them, and since their religeous fanatis this one guy told me that (well i cant really say it word for word bc it would be inapproiate ill sum it up) "BT are like catholic priests in that they like the youngins" i thought it was a little rediculous and cant stand whenever i see that guy in the store he says that to me :/ if i offended anyone by that comment i am throughly sorry it is what he said to me, and i think a few people will prolly get a kick out of it.
But from original poster yea i dont get why people think BT should be shooty dosent make since to me there a cc army and ill never play them differently.

Did you prove him wrong by slaugtering his T4 "good saves" with starcannons? You play eldar, right?

Doesn't that only provide protection against activated force weapons, since they don't count as psychic until the squad takes the test?

Ignorant d-bags will be ignorant d-bags.

Personally, I would think it quite in character for a Templar player to be yelling 'God wills it!' every time they pass a rightous zeal test and surge forwards!

Nope, force toys are always force toys, weather or not you activate the instant kill ability or not, so any daemon w/blessings has a 2++ in combat vs every non-heavy weapon grey knight in power armour.
However, you can simply dark ex away all gifts on a squad, so it's not like it's an auto-win ability. (unlike the GK codex itself vs Daemons!)

-now with sarcastic remarks!
"Imperial Fists are boring" (Good point! I'll paint 'em blue next time!)
"[insert one of ten thousand comments in reference to mold lines]" (ok, so I do leave lots of mold lines...)

"You need more vehicles" (Sure thing! Just hand me the cash for a shiny new model!)

haters gonna hate.

I can't believe this conversation happened, but it did:

I'm playing with my blood red Blood Angels army that's red. Kid walks up. He's like 14 years old. I've seen him hanging around the LGS a few times. I think he has a few Eldar figures.

KID: Are those red? (points at my Blood Angels)

Me: Uh.... No. They're blue. (I hate children and I love sarcasm)

KID: Nuh uh.

Me: They look red to you? Holy crap. You must be color blind. (punches LGS regular in shoulder) Dude, aren't these space marines blue?

Dude: Yeah. They're blue.

The kid looked a little freaked out and he just sort of walked away. He might still think he's colorblind. I don't know.

Sadly not. I was playing a game against someone else at the time and he was just spectating.

I'd probably have doomed his terminators and then set a bunch of Howling Bashees on them. Or Starcannons, like you said.

I get that a lot. When I first bought Space Marines they were the colours the little paint starter kit had, the little guide thing said paint them blue. So I did, that was 5 years ago and now I have around 4000-5000 points of Ultras. Now leave me alone you little idiot child, I played the Blues since before 5th made them 'the best SPEHSS MEHREENS EVAR!'.

2,000 pts tourney, a short time ago, Im running my Space Wolves with lots of Rhinos and GreyHunters, basically just walking my bolters shots down everybodies throat till my wolfguard get there to mop it all up, and this guy decides to walk up to me, and says this:

Him: Space Wolves? Nice. But I think you're playing them wrong.
Me: *not paying much attention, get my butt handed by a Blood Angels dreadnought*
Him: Dude, seriously, your totally playing them wrong.
Me: What? What are you talking about? *slightly peeved because Im in the middle of a time sensitive match*
Him: Yeah, you totally fethed this list dude. Your basically a Ultramarine with big teeth, so where the heck are your landraiders? At this points level you should have like 3 on the field.
Me: *looks down at field and silently wonders what the feth hes talking about*
Him: Now if you take a page from my army, you'll see that NOTHING can beat 3 landraiders on the field.

2 games later
Me: And thats how to kill 3 landraiders in one game.
Him: What the feth?!?!
Me: *packs up stuff and moves on*

That just sounds like you were mean to a colour blind child.

Anyway, I recently had someone question my sanity when I declared a charge:

"Really? Are you sure you want to do that?"

I was charging a tactical squad with my 42 man/ 6 power weapon platoon squad. He had obviously never fought aggressive Guard infantry before. Needless to say, that combat didn't last long.

Being colorblind I have cussed out and beat folks who take this joke to far. It is funny the first 50 times you hear them (so between the ages of 5-7) after that they just get old. Some dude heard I was colorblind asked me what color the grass was..... Needless to say he just needed to get his face closer to the grass and I sure helped him with that.

More recent one with my Minotaur Throgg army

Guy: Hey so where is your gors? And how did you fit this many minos in a list

Me: This is a Throgg army

Guy: But throgg is with trolls, minos can no be their own army

Me: They used to be and I played a all mino list years ago

Guy: Minotaurs were never core choices in any book.

One of my favourite:

'There's no way that many orks is legal outside of Apocalypse!'

200+ Orks, 11 Walkers... It makes for an impressive sight

One of the staffers at the local GW commented that my Ultramarines are well painted.

I was so flabbergasted that someone complemented Ultramarines that I just stared in dumbstruck awe at him.

lol Crazyterran
You guys are so downtrodden. They really need to try mixing up the box art with different Chapters. JeneralJoe might have had a Raven Guard army, who knows?

Friend: Whats that one HQ you used to use... Pablo Lopez??

Friend: Yeah! That was him... his model was cool, If I didn't play Blood Angels I would use Pablo Kantor.

Along this same vein, though I don't play Crimson Fists, my friend did, and got this response from some hipster kid (14ish) at a store after a game once. "Wasn't that the guy from Napoleon Dynamite? That's so ironic. I love it."

My friends seems to refer to him as pablo every time he mentions him, so either he is not good with names or he is trying to mess with me.

The one I usually get is "My Deathstar is gonna whomp all over all those little units you've got!"

End of turn six, I've lead his Deathstar by the nose all game long while killing everything else he brought, to win by some 4-500 points. "That's no fair, you never let me get into close combat!"

"your army is dumb it's just a bunch of fat guys!"

I'm probably not the only ogre player to have this said to them... multiple times.....

20 ft tall fat guys

MUCH more intimidating when you can only look up past the rolls of flab to the tiny head on top

At the start of a game guy playing imperial guard had 2 squadrons of russ (6 Tanks)with variants (9 heavy weapons team ) etc, looks at my ork horde and goes , hey man this isnt gonna be fair , youve got armoured transports( 3 trucks) I thought wtf, anyway i won the game .Just! .

Some fa/tg/uy was playin a game of 2nd edition at our LGS and he had the old Rogue Trader rule book with the Crimson Fists on it. This is the following conversation:

Me: Playing Second Edition?
Guy: Yep. Nostalgia, man.
Me: You know they beased a model on that guy (points to the rulebook)?
Guy: No they didn't.
(Series of yes's and no's)
Me: Yes they did. Its in the White Dwarf in the back.
Guy: No they didn't. They based it off of another artwork like this, but angled slightly to the left.

I was so closed to ripping his book in half to prove my point. Does anyone know people this hard-headed?

I was told paladins were far too expensive to justify use. I then stomped his Death company unit which all had power fists, thunder hammers, and jump packs.

20 year old: "Hey you can't use those guys (my Mordians)! They aren't Games Workshop models! The only Imperial Guard models are the Cadians and the rambo's."

I just decided not to play at that point.

A guy asked me why my Ultramarines had red fists. This was in an army including Pedro Kantor, mind you

TBH, as someone who isn't a Marine player, isn't really familiar with the space marines codex, and is only passingly familiar with the space wolves codex, that doesn't actually know anything about Pedro Kantor - I don't get it either.

He was playing crimson fists.
Y'know, the 'iconic' 40k SM chapter (even more iconic than UM).

Don't pass personal negative judgments on other posters, please. -Mannahnin

Let's keep it on topic, thanks.-Mannahnin

I've never had a marine codex, never played marines, hell - never played an imperial force.

I started with DE and have stuck with Xenos races since. I kill marines, I don't know what they are. (Well obviously, I know those are tactical, those are assault etc, but that's mostly ability and target priority, I really don't know that much imperial fluff.)
