None what so ever.

I got told Eldar were broken by a Blood Angels player.

I had to go to hospital because of oxygen deprivation from all the laughing.

Indeed. He plays Blood Angels, Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines and now, Necrons.

'16 models isn't enough at 2000 points.'

and 'two troop choices won't win objective missions.'

The other classic being:

'They're just broken.'

I have sometimes found that a sibngle opponent will offer some version of the first two statements pre-game followed by the third statement post-game.

Being told that The Nightbringer is an easily avoidable point sink when he always made his money back and then some or The Harbinger of Menoth is a troop caster, she's got 10 bloody focus!

I used to have my Chaos Space Marines have purple shoulder plates and heads. I'll let you guys figure out what everyone said about them.

"Looks a bit Chaosy to me"-at my Imperial Guard army.

Yeah I'm going to paint a giant pair of Aquila's wings on my Shadowswords now. ^^

One of my favourites was that "Blood Angels are essentially Romans in Nipple armour"

Harbinger IS a troop caster. Her high CMD and the vast majority of her spells and abilities affect and support Warriors, not Jacks.

Just having high Focus does NOT make a Caster a Jack Caster.

Yeah, noone would ever argue that Karchev is a troop caster because he only has 5 focus...

I thought the Romans invented nipple armor.

My point was that these sorts of attitudes are pretty common in any place that game nerds gather be it the lgs, internet forum, whatever.

Go read the battlereports section, or army tactics, etc. Theoryhammer and netdecking is a sad part of this hobby, and you will encounetr lots of peopel that will try to convince you that everything but what they play sucks, or that "codex/unit/build x" is worthless etc.

In the end, who cares? If you like it play it...

"Word Bearers? They suck, they were rubbish fighters and the worst of the legions!" (Paraphrased, but that was the general jist).

Funnily enough, when his TH/SS Termi captain was lying in the dirt thanks to a PF Aspiring champ I spent a good while laughing!

Hellblasters cost too many points (seriously the don't)

Chaos are rubbish really...(though not that silly seeing how my warriors were routed by a stonethrower crew!)

Why have you got chaos marines, you may as well have space marines.

Yup, Lorgar has instilled faith and fire in me! It was a very satisfying moment though.

Also, may I sig that?

How old was this teenage boy? I'm hoping 13ish rather than 17ish.

*Youth points at white model, adorned with red teardrops, but with a blue helmet*

So you play Ultramarines?

Iranna wrote:I got told Eldar were broken...

Pretty much this.

I turn up and place 4th/5th with my Eldar at my local tournaments (only 600pts, but half of the armies are usually IG and we're all limited by a different FoC (the UK School League FoC IIRC - 1-2 HQs, 2-6 Troops, 0-1 Elites, 0-1 Fast Attack/Heavy Support and no special HQs) so it takes the kick out of most armies except IG, who tend to excel) and when someone meets the Energy Field rule or Holofields, the usual reaction is one of disbelief, followed by saying how nasty Eldar are. Runes of Warding also provoke the same reaction in users of Psykers. The more experienced players are fine with it, it just seems to be anyone who hasn't faced Eldar before or newer/younger players.

I've also had people say that Stealth Suits>Crisis Suits, that Fire Warriors are overpowered because they have 30" range and Strength 5 guns, that Burst Cannons are simply crap, that Stealth Suits need Fusion Blasters, that Pathfinders need Rail Rifles, that Railguns are overpowered, and that Crisis Suits are overpowered.

Nobody complains about my CSM though, which I am quite thankful for; if anyone did complain about my Lash-less, Plague Marine-less, Obliterator-less CSM, I would be forced to dreadsock them to death.

I agree wholeheartedly with this!

i got told "my dark angels terms would beat your GK terms"

I proceeded to table him

then i got told that the Daemons are useless, he had tau, tabled him

then i got told the vindicare is useless, took out his land raider full of term on the first turn.

then i got told tau is the easiest army to beat, tabled his Orks

then i told a IG player they were cannon fodder for my Tau, and i got tabled.

Power to the lashless, PM less, oblit less CSM list!

Though having said that, people ask me why the hell I take raptors... which is annoying, as they are great charge shields and transport poppers for my winged DPs.

It's not anything specific that comes to mind, just the general cluelessness of some people...

A guy looks at one of my boyz, and says "have you tried using a wash".. (my greenskins skins are basecoated yellow, drybrushed in a lighter yellow, followed by bleached bone highlights, lips painted tentacle pink, before it's given 2 subsequent washes of green wash, with some drops of blue ink in 'em. The clothing is knarloc green, washed with green wash, and a devlan mud wash... Yes, I "might" have tried using washes...)

And when people think my models are stock.. Yes, all orks come with rolled up sleeves, forrage caps on the guys without helmets, and ww2 german helmets on the guys with helmets. The bayonnette fitted shootas and heavy heavy bolters instead of bigshootas are standard too, and all nobs come with officers caps straight from the box...

/Calle

I've gotten so many over the years. Here are some notables.

"Wow! is that your army?"

"Those aren't Blood Angels/Dark Angels/Ultramarines, they aren't painted like in the book."

"Are you playing a Dark Eldar army?"...my Eldar are painted in a dark purple scheme.

"Why are your Orks purple?"....Because I like them that way !

"Running all those jacks is just cheesy."...playing Warmachine

"Your army's not fair!" ...AT-43

...These all string together.

"I've never lost to Orks."
"I haven't lost in around 5+ years."...I hear this a lot.
"I quit! Let's add up victory conditions." Not really about my army, but one of my personal favorites and it still makes me laugh.


Finally something that I said about one of my armies.
When I was relatively new to the game and wasn't hip to the lingo I went out and bought the Craftworld Eldar codex. The shop wench informed me upon purchase, "That codex is sooooo broken!" My reply, totally unaware of what the term broken meant, "Oh well, I'll try to make it work anyway." She just gave me this look like" you!" and I didn't know why.

Someone saw my CSM army once and wanted to know: 'Are those them Ultramarines I heard them talking about?'

"Hey, you can't use those vehicles! They're not GW!" when looking at my Rogue Trader rhinos and Land Raider. To avoid the problem in the future, I just put my old 3rd edition Blood Angel Codex in with the army since it has pictures of both.

Looking at my Blood Angels army, painted in Aurora Chapter colors -


"OOO, Salamanders!"

.... god no.

Tell that to the loser of every single game I had where I ran Harbinger/Devout/Castigator/Avatar/Choir/Vilmon.

There were a lot of losers, no winners. Only game I ever lost was when I ran troops with her.

Your point is her spells, which are just a part of her ability is for troops (mainly the bring back to life one), and no, she cannot channel through jacks, but being able to maintain 3-4 jacks to use their full abilities makes her not only a troop caster but a jack caster, or better still, a well rounded caster, she's also a mean assault caster.

Played against a dual lash whip list with my Abaddon death-star CSM. He told me how awful my army was... After I nearly tabled him he told me how good of a general I was, but man did my army suck.

That using a different force build works for you doesn't change the fact that she's a Troop Caster at heart. It's what she's built to do.

Guilty of this =)

I've had a blood angels player tell me that my tau army was broken because I popped is land raider with a railgun.

Nothing about my army, but I was at a FLGS with my dad, and once we left he said how nice my army looked in comparison to some of the other armies...

I asked "What army didn't look good?"

He said he "saw an ork army fighting the liitle army guys"
(He knew they were human but not space marines, he doesn't know what IG are)

..........The guard player wasn't fighting an ork army, he was fighting Salamanders...............

The last time I went into a GW store, I got called a noob for playing a SM army. I'd known the manager for about 10 years - whichever store he got moved to ended up being my closest for one reason or another (work, gaming club, home).

Despite this army having models older than the teenage douche who said this, and the minor detail that I've also been playing the game for longer than he'd been alive (he couldn't even manage a legal army himself).

If someone says something stupid about my army, it's like water off a duck's back - ignored and discounted.

Someone told me that my Ultramarines Command Squad was a waste of points with Sicarius in a razorback (465 points)... It was my first tournament, I came in second, they held their ground. Granted they're not the best unit, but they got the job done.

In the days before the new dex I was asked frequently "Where in the space marine codex is Stern?" and "why do your ultramarines have those weird weapons?"

"Orks just wish they were as big and strong as space marines."

ha

haha

hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha

"You can't make a competitive army with your orks." Followed by "Tau are still one of the better codexes."

This is coming from a grey knight player playing mega cheese lists.

"Tau are overpowered", he then packed up. Turn 2. Instead of assaulting.

This is kinda understandable (read: not stupid) but common with my Space Wolves:

"Alright, who put their Chaos Space Marines on the table?"

And then I have to say "they're 13th Company Grey Slayers, they got stuck in the warp and had to scavenge Chaos bitz". My black and red paint scheme doesn't help either.

IG player before Apoc battle of Tau & IG vs Nids & Crons "Necrons? Huh, with my baneblade I should probably be able to make you phase out in no time."

My first turn (My Nid ally and I went second), 3 heavy destroyers turned his baneblade into a battlefield nuke that exploded 16 inches. He "phased out" by turn 4.

Orks:


'Deffrollas don't work on vehicles'

'KFF doesn't apply to vehicles'

'Orks don't get an armour save (in reaction to ard boyz)'

'There's no way that many orks is 1500 pts....' (my favourite)

'There's no way you have enough firepower or troops in that case to make my GK sweat..'

"Wow, you are getting your ass kicked!"

Said by observer casually walking by the table half way through turn 1.
The actual outcome of the battle is irrelevant. That statement at that time is stupid.

Teenage Douche:"Wow, you are playing Team Jacob, SW are for Twilight Fans"
Me:"Twilight must be an epic movie, does Jacob get drunk, get Bella drunk and sodomise her?"

I feel for you fella

I would have just looked at the kid with a confused expression and asked "What the hell is a Twilight...and what does that have to do with this game? ..."

And after his lengthy speil about how it applies in his little acne addled mind, I would say "Hmmm this Twilight seems important to you, you must have seen it many times..oh well shall we play 40k or do you need to find your purse and fetch some sparkly dice"

I really find these kinda kids annoying, but I usually never have to play them, being a large old army guy tends to scare them off

He's just some 14 year old who will drop out in the next year possibly. My GW Store is filled with Ultramarine lovers and alot of Salamanders from the kid population. Once, the painting table was filled, I was painting my Wood Elves and he demanded I moved for him because Fantasy is apparently inferior to 40k in his opinion.

Being 18 years old metalhead, I'm not really intimidating. The GW Manager is like "Oh come, don't be mean. You do want games don't you?" By the way nice joke . My friend plays Blood Angels and he has the same problem as me.
I could even glaze some Dice for that teen and give it for him as a present.

Woah! That is a little offensive to SW players. Just letting you know.

Okay, I'm starting to get curious now, why the negativity towards Salamanders? Hurst seemed to imply he wasn't a fan and then your comment said they were "for the kids". I demand explanation!

Salamanders are probably my favorite chapter, and I absolutely hate Marines so that's saying something. It's because they're black, isn't it?

Tau suck they are just limp wristed children with out a mind of their own! Your hammer watever is gonna get torn asunder
(2 min later) i laugh hysterically as my hammer head and (2) broadside teams kill his (2) landraiders. Yea they suck now dont they! thats right march them termies across the board

Sorry. A typo, my keyboard is 10 years old and Tzeentch has fethed with it so I have to press really hard for it to work. My negativity for Salamanders comes from the Salamander fan boys at my local store whenever I ask for any Space Wolf variety colour at the painting table they pass me a fething green instead!

Ummm what?

Why must one own a Titan to be able to judge if something is out of scale? I've seen people that think Warlords should be about 4-6ft tall and Imperators 6-7ft tall in 40k scale. This is quite clearly out of scale and waaay too big. But what do I know, I'm not deemed worthy of this opinion as I don't own a 40k scale Titan.

Them: "So how good are they in melee"

*long story about their own army as apparently the Chapter Master was also an Inquisitor (female) and how they were hunted by the Imperium because they were willing to work with the Tau and had to steal a battle barge from the Black Templars to escape. She had been made a Space Marine due to all the success she had as an Inquisitor.*

With Eldar

When playing my Imperial Guard the other night, my oppenent and his CSM. He told me that Yarrick, Ogryns, and the Chimera with dozer blade were a complete waste. Took out twenty of his CSM, then, took out a demon prince. True, on the assault they are great, other than that, they are not the best. He didn't say much about them after the second squad fell. Taking out the demon prince was just insult to injury at that point.

My Guard army was like a leaf blower when it blew people off the table...

I am still haven't heard the end of it..

Before a 6k apocalypse game...

Me: You can borrow my codex if you want to brush up on what the new dark eldar can do, before we play.

Opponent: eh. Im not worried about or impressed by them. You dont have any superheavies...


The game lasted 3 turns. None of his super heavies ever got to fire.

At a 1750pt tourney recently.

"Dude, 16 models? Your gonna get blown away"

"Man I am gonna blow you off the table"

"I know its grey knights, but you have 16 models... your gonna lose every game"

Well My 16 models never lost a match, I came in second, and I found out after the tourney when I reevaluated my points that I was at a 150 pt disadvantage XD
Also the maximum casualties I suffered where 7 models.

Your DC aren't that great! Blood Talons don't do that! You don't get rerolls on reserves with DoA, you just scatter less!

When I showed this guy my codex he proclaimed it was doctored to make it better.

I got told my wolfstar list had no chance of beating a list with 2 Land Raiders because they would have no way of stopping them. Popped them both on my turn 1 (he went first and moved them up.)

I was playing with my space wolves against Tau

Me : I'm putting my scouts in reserve
Him : phhht I dont care their only scouts, I'll just blast them to bits with my 3 hammerheads!

Turn 2

Me : Do my scouts come on... (i roll a 4)Yes, Which board edge.... (i roll a 5). Okay I'll put them next to your hammerhead wall.
Him : Oh no! you can glance the rear with your bolt pistols (sarcastically)

Assault

Me : My scouts are putting melta bombs on your stationary hammer heads. I wreck all of them
Him : WTF they are overpowered! meh im sure my kroot can take the rest of your army

both his full kroot squads charge grey hunters and get massacared by the wolf standards amazing abilities

after thr game he gets escorted to the police station by 2 shop staff.

"Cryx? Psh. I'll just shoot them to death"

After Scourging/Crippling Grapsing Stryker with pDenny and and shooting him to death with two pistol wraiths turn 2:

"pDenny is borken!"



...he actually said 'borken'.

I had an opponent in a tournament tell me that Bane Thralls were a D Bag unit for D Bag players whose sole reason for fielding them was to ruin the fun of everyone else. And that's just the more memorable quote. The ENTIRE MATCH was him insulting me and pretty much telling me I was a piece of crap for playing Cryx/Goreshade/Banes. Oh, and two thirds of the way thru the game he also informed me that the fact I had taken to smirking or chuckling only made it worse. I did ask him at that point how he preferred I responded to him constantly insulting me but he had no answer for that.

And yes, once the game was done (timed matches and what not to consider) I spoke to the judges, who had spent a fair amount of time standing by our table. He said he would talk to the guy, and hadn't interrupted our game because he didn't want to interfere what with times matches and turns and what not as I was not looking angry or rising to the bait, which he was really surprised I Had kept my cool thru it all and thanked me for it as well.

Wow, are you serious about that last part?
One half of my brain says no, but the other part argues that humans never cease to amaze me..

I had an old GF ask me why it's called 'Warhamster'..... Does that count?

I don't really game that much, and hardly ever in a GW store. The last time I did I had to take a time out and pop outside for a couple of ciggerettes because the teenage douche I was playing against called every single unit in my Salamanders army 'Gay'. Every.Single.Turn.

I almost lost it at one stage, mostly because my mate who had come with me that night WAS gay....

Here's another one. I was at a Tournament with my Red Corsairs and I was paired up with a Black Guy who plays Salamander.

Him: My censored Salamander will kick your White Cracker Pirate Ass.
Me: Sure whatever you say.

Turn 2. My Khorne Beserkers with Huron beats Forgefather Vulkan He’stan and his Terminator Squad in Close Combat.
Him: These dice are rigged for ya' Cracker Pirates I tell ya, my niggs should be winning.

Turn 4 I held both objectives.
Him: Your cracker list is chessy, also you were a bad sport.(I did not even do anything bad, I was calm the entire time) Your army is also painted terribly so you will come like 10th and I will come first due my awesome skills bra in my later matches. Your crackers were lucky against my niggs.

I complained to the Judges about his poor Sportmanship, that person came last. I have not seen him since.

@rockerbike, dude was your oppo an Australian? It's just I read that post of yours in my head with an Aussie accent and I lol'd!

"ZOMG your Necrons are so broken and overpowered! I cant believe you! you're cheating! that doomsday ark never scatters, it's so unfair! My Tau don't stand a chance! If you get a doomsday ark then I get an extra two hammerheads! that'll be fair then!"

that was against 3 hammerheads and two squads of broadsides, he packed up and left on turn 3 because he lost one of those hammerheads.......

Well, I never get gak from players. My guard are not op.

Rockerbikie, it's either your making this up, or you have a magnet for insults. What is with that?

I was assualting with kroot one game and my opponent (marines) became really nervous. When I inquired about the reason for his anxiety I learned that he thought kroot had furious charge and were able to take power weapons. He also thought that they had an armor save (with the shaper)

Not stupid, but misinformed. But oh, if only...

He is apparently an "Afrian-Australian".

To: my Green Karchev Khador painted green with flaming bases / jacks green stuffed to be on fire...

"Boy you must like Salamander dreadnaughts."

From: a 30 year old opponent who does not paint, and refuses to play that "warmachine" game because there "is not an iron man character" ....

To: my Gorten lead Searforge painted rusty yellow

"Why do they look like construction jacks?" Can't you take Nomads or Freebooters in Searforge. Response: because Searforge uses construction jacks, and no its a restrictive contract, I cannot take that.

Result of game: Gorten, landslide, strength of Granite on Driller, Thor tunes Driller damage. Driller goes into Karchev who has low defense due to landslide, carves through Karchev due to boosted damage rolls.

Opponent "Searforge is broken".... right...

Wollongong?

I went there.
My mum was from Campbeltown in Scotland and I visited Campbelltown in NSW while I was there.
Dropped in on Wollongong.

Ummm what?

Why must one own a Titan to be able to judge if something is out of scale? I've seen people that think Warlords should be about 4-6ft tall and Imperators 6-7ft tall in 40k scale. This is quite clearly out of scale and waaay too big. But what do I know, I'm not deemed worthy of this opinion as I don't own a 40k scale Titan.

No - but it is similar to listening to a Blind man criticising the shade of red you painted your Firetruck with.

And when you see my Titan College - you will see what I am referring to. I wasn't talking about other 'people' - I was talking about mine. And yes - they are to scale.

Basically anything about Ultramarines...

"The Doomsday Ark? You're an idiot! My Eldar will stomp you out like nothing!"

Doomsday Ark makes a great T3 hunter when moving, no objectives for him once I got to his Dire Avengers.

It looks like people need to stop playing with some of these players that are incredible jerks. I would be like eh it's not worth my time to play you anymore, because I stopped having fun when you started being a tool. Pack my stuff up and leave.

An opponent at a past-year's 'ard Boyz scoffed at my army list, laughing at me for taking Dark Reapers. "You take Dark Reapers?" he smirked.

He conceded before Turn 5.

I once asked my friend if his Scorpion Green painted CSM were Salamanders.

I'm still not 100% on what part of not owning a titan model makes you incapable of knowing scale?

Sorry if I was unclear Ph34r.

Someone with no frame of reference( What they have done/own/dealt with) has zero validity in criticism, IMO.

It was a statement made by a person who has less than 20 painted Models, and less than 2000 points in total, not a tourney rule or a Games fact.

I stuck to the OP's frame of reference to the post.

I have an Imperator, Warlord , Reaver, Warhound and Knight Paladin(NOT a Titan ). So I stated what I thought was a crappy statement, not what was factual - based on your understanding. Cool brother?

Being said that my army (which is Eldar btw.) is really cheesy and that Ultramarines are gay. The insult to the Ultras came from some under aged kid who was enjoying some energy drink, but I cant understand that why are Eldar cheese? They have an outdated codex, most stuff is overpriced and I dont win so many times with them.

Damn almost forgot. I've also been told that my Cryx army is fething . This is can almost understand...

"Uh, why did you bring Banshees.. they suck."

puma713 wrote:An opponent at a past-year's 'ard Boyz scoffed at my army list, laughing at me for taking Dark Reapers. "You take Dark Reapers?" he smirked.

I've never understood this either. Dark Reapers seem like a hidden gem that some Eldar players use. I used them, and loved the for the tournament scene. I found them survivable in terrain, and can drop a MEQ squads to nearly ineffective in a turn if given opportunity. Given the amount of 3+ armor, MEQ, and Grey Knights, I'd love to watch Eldar players sit pack and play kill the Beakies. The Eldar book is fun, fluffy, and dangerous when in the hands of a skilled player with proper model support. Most newer players typically have to be gaming slapped by a Eldar player to take a 2nd look at the armor other then Eldra, Fire Prisms, min/maxed Avengers - Dragons in Serpents.

"Battlewagon rush is broken, deff rollas are broken, it's a totally OP army and will be marked down severely in the comp score" - Tourney Organizers X and Y.

It wasn't a major issue, as I didn't compete in the end, but I counted over 25 Land Raiders at that tourney, many MEQ armies including 2 and some with 3... Some of these were marked up as 'thematic', but the deffrolla battlewagons were viewed as cheesy and horribly broken, despite having to take their side armour 12, rear armour 10 asses across the battlefield to get at any A14 on the other side in the first place.

Agreed. I play a lot of wacky lists. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. But Reapers rarely fail me. I think I die little bit more inside when I read posts like, "The only competitive Eldar build is. . ." and they list spammed Dragons, Avengers and Fire Prisms .

All these come from one guy. Guy who says this never plays and just likes to sit on the sidelines and back seat game. Because he reads stuff on the internet, he thinks he knows what's good.

-----------------------
"If your guard army dosen't have atleast 20 autocannons then it's terrible. My marens could rip it apart."
(Army in question wins tournament, and guy would never play agiest the owner of this army..)
------------------

This is the best thow. In all honesty when most people hear this story they don't believe it could actually happen.

"Orks are not a competitive army. You should realy play CSM instead, now that's a competive army."
(I point out that I play both Orks and CSM, and that I find orks the more competitive army. I also explain to him why I find this. I also point out that I always do better in tournies with orks then CSM, and why this is.)
"Well. Just because your playing agiest crappy players, dosen't mean the army is good."


(I am one of the "regulars" who play ageist everyone at the store as regularly as I can. He in one comment implied that basicly neveryone at the store is a crappy player. They also point out he plays more Magic the gathering then he dose Warhammer so what should he know about their skill level? He doesn't even play ageist us.)

"I don't need to play ageist you to know your not very good at this game. I just look at your armies to know that!" People they procede to chew him out for being a back seat gamer who dosen't know when to shut the feth up.....
------------------------------------------------------

Latter a bunch of us warhammer players went to the LGS dureing friday night magic and we begin to back set game his game of magic the gathering.

"Where is your black lotus? You know every winning deck needs one."
"Your playing red? Red is for chumps! You should be playing vampires. That's a deck that can win games."
"You shouldn't of played that card just yet."
ect, ect, ect.

He then wrote a letter to us and had the owner of the store give it to us next thursday. that we are to leave him alone on friday night magic from now on.

Many laughs were had. We have never seen him at Warhammer night agien.

Tbh.. any comment along the lines of "Your army sucks!"
If I wanted to hear your fething poor opinion on something you dont even know about, I would have asked a random person in the street what I thought about My army. They would respond with what this person insulting my army is basically saying:
"I have no idea"

First time i took my Ork army to my gaming club, a guy looked at them and said ''Let me show you how to paint an ork''

Ive never had an experience were i wanted to rip a guys throat out as much as there. Maybe it's me who is too sensitive about my army?

No, It does not count, because the next round my Stompa destroyed most of your remaining guardsmen in the shooting phase.

On another note, someone told me that my army of 50+boyz was totally illegal for a 1K point battle. When I showed him the Dex, he said it must be a fake.

At fantasy doubles when deploying my Ogres, which contained a unit of 6 mournfang in 1000 points.

The guy complained that it was overpoints (500, they cost 498) i handed him my army list, which showed all the upgrades and the total. He proceded to get his phone out and work out the same points values three times, before declaring his phone stupid and then using his partners phone said that all phones couldn't do maths and stated that I had written my list wrong. I handed him my book and he did the maths, and once again he was proved wrong, which prompted him to say that the book was wrong.

The TO came over looked at my maths, said i was right, at which the guy accused him of being bribed by me. It was actually a really fun game, with an incredibly amusing intro.

Anyway, when I was told that the codex had been FAQ'ed and that I actually get a 3++ anywhere on the field.(This isn't the stupid thing)

This was after a day long mini tournament were I had been playing by the codex. Nobody had said anything to me when I did my army.

So really, the most annoying thing someone has said is nothing.

Yeah, that about sums it all up.

A wee boy of about 12 once said to me, Ooh a 2nd edition BA army, that looks so old!.

This was just after i (upgraded the full army and) spent a fortune on the metal shoulder pads and was the first army i ever bothered to paint properly. Conversions ahoy. I honestly spent ages on these, (mainly because i`m terrible at painting) and they looked cracking, if i do say so myself.

This left me gutted.

I`ve never been back to play again in a GW store since.

A couple years back, at a doubles tournament, our opponents made the comment "Sisters and Guard...this will be a quick fight."

It was. We tabled a combined Marine & Tau army in 3 turns. They tanked our scores and basically claimed we cheated since they expected a cakewalk.

Then again, opponents underestimating my Sisters was a common thing after the Witch Hunter Codex came out.

Ah! The good ol' days.

I just had someone tell me that Wraiths were ridiculously nerfed and aren't a viable unit anymore as well as C'tan. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to prove him wrong with a Wraith wing army with a C'tan with Time's Arrow and maybe Writhing Worldscape. Should be fun.

No, the guy's just being stupid. You aren't being sensitive, you can paint them how you like.

Had this happen once as well, though apparently it was more to do with skill than how I had painted Eldar.
The opposing army at the time; space marines everything caked in mordian blue and shining gold.

I just ignored it as I don't really consider myself a good painter anyway and didn't want to sound spiteful as I had spent a lot of time on details such as the gems.

I'd understand if it were the stereotypical "me best you bad" 13-15 year old, but they were older than me and I was about 19.

Coming from a guard player who'd spent the whole game parked in his deployment zone, while I footslogged with templars across the whole table under fire.

If you only brought one melta he should have been thanking you on bended knee, given how much meltaspam and artillery his Guard could field..

Someone once said that I had to be a diehard Nazi since my FoW SS Panzer division is painted with the correct markings, I have never felt like chocking someone to death when that happen.
Also the time I was told that my Ungors where a broken core unit because I ambushed a gunline and killed his cannons

Those are my "favorite" kind of comments, right up there with people who belittle paint jobs but can't even be bothered to paint their own army.

At my old home-brew chapter of Space Marines (red/black).

"Oh, so you're playing Blood Angels."
"No."
"Then you're Chaos?"
"No...?"
"But those are the only two kinds of Space Marines that are red..."

I just shook my head and went back to my game.

"I don't understand why we have Codex Chaos Space Marines. I mean, I can understand a Space Wolves codex, but CSM are just SM with spikes."

An actual post on Dakka. I was hoping so badly that he was trolling, but alas.... How could someone have an opinion that wrong?

But isn't true that current csm codex is just sm with spikes?

Well, these aren't my stories, but yours reminded me of these two guys:

There's a guy I've played a few times who has a nice green color scheme on his marines...they are not salamanders...no, that is the Vulkan Hestan model, but he's not Vulkan. He always looks sad when people ask him if he plays salamanders. Well...they're green and Vulkan's your HQ...kinda makes them salamanders...

There's another guy at my shop who runs codex marines. He paints them red and black (as in some are red, and some are black). He has a nice, long bit of fluff (that he'll tell you all about if you care...or if you don't) about why there are two color schemes. Then he will explain that he didn't realize that those were the colors of blood angels when he painted them.

At any rate, I actually like it when people go with a color scheme because either they like it, or they like the fluff behind it. The thing is...and it really is just a small thing...can you try not to sound so disappointed when a random person sees Vulkan in your green army and asks if they are salamanders? Or if your red assault marines are Blood Angels? At a glance, they all look the same.

(I'm not picking on you, Horst. It's just that the people I've seen who complain about this always seem so tired of explaining it...)

Personal stories...pretty much just that everyone seems to think they know how I should run my army..."Hey, you should have ravagers in your DE list" No, I have 24 other lances, I don't need ravagers, thank you. "Hey, whey aren't you running Fateweaver?" Because he costs an extra 83 points and forces a particular play style. "Swift claws are horrible. There's no reason to run them." Well, I like them, so sod off.

Heh heh...I have a second, smaller army of Marines that are a DiY Chapter, who look deceptively similar to Ultramarines. I LOVE it when people ask, that way I can tell them ALL ABOUT my own AWESOME CHAPTER and if they try and complain about it later, I can just look all hurt and tell them "well, you asked about them..."

I was just at a doubles tournament and some guy was claiming my list was illegal due to having too few units (which was not true). We then got into a debate were I had to pull out the rulebook and show him the passage. It was at this point he said Armybuilder could not be wrong and my book must be a misprint.

I am not a violent person but I could of killed him when he brought the TO over and started up the debate. The TO said that he should read the rulebook and not go by what armybuilder told him. The guy gave me and his partner the finger packed up his models and left.

Yeh, I am in the process of finishing my csm army, and when I played a game with some of them, the GW worker people said " Ooo, nice death guard there mate, but I think you got the colour a bit wrong..."

NO I DID NOT. They are my own made up chaos warband dedicated to nurgle.

When people watch you play LOTR and they comment on how you and your opponet just need to grow up, since LOTR was such a childish trend..... Its at times like that I feel like bringing a axe to my FLGS

Any case of "my man dollies is way more growned up than your man dollies" is depressing, pathetic and childish all at once.

Person: Oh Look, another Grey Knight player whose jumped on the bandwagon.

Me: Find the plastic models.

Person: Huh?

Me: Find the plastic models in my army, please.

Person searches for about five minutes.

Person: Uhh...just the DreadKnight.

Me: That would be because I've got 3500 points of metal and resin Grey Knight stuff I've been playing for five years. The Dread Knight, which you'll note is heavily converted not to look like a baby carrier, new weapons on the dreads and Interceptor Packs for one squad of my Power Armour Grey Knights are the only changes I;ve made.

Person: Uhhh, well...

Me: Now get the hell off my wagon.

Also (regarding the Menoth army I'd had less than 24 hours which was just assembled enough so I could learn how to play):

spyguyyoda wrote:"Ah, I thought I smelled the stench of unpainted models."

While I prefer to play against and field painted armies, I just don't understand the hate against the unpainted legions.

Dark Eldar are primarily a CC army.

Like, I know there's builds meant to be mainly CC, but Dark Eldar are primarily shooting-based. The high I and WS is mainly meant for clearing a unit once you've shot them.

I've even seen wych cult armies, but even they're still reliant on some shooting.

My new Space Marine Army, which I'd hastily sprayed black, painted their shoulders green and with silver rims and guns. I was 13, and it was the first time I'd properly painted an army. Damn I was proud of them, and I still am (despite me finally noticing how bad some of the paintjobs were. they were all flat colour, no washes, thick layers of spray, blurred detail and paint splashes).
For my 13th birthday i was playing a game at Games Workshop. Not at home. Not at school. AT GAMES WORKSHOP!! Happy as a dog with two dicks, was I. I got paired with a Tau player (we had about 500pts each in a 1000pts game day), and we got tabled by a Terminator horde (10 Assault Terminators and a Terminator Chaplain deep striking onto the objective we'd held with infilitrating Kroot). My Tau ally spoke to me angrily:

"This was your idea! You and your badly painted Black Templars lost me the game!"

I looked down at my Space Marines, who didn't look like Black templars by any stretch of the imagination, my pride and joy. I then looked at my 'ally's' army, half of which were either only basecoated or unpainted. I gave him a quizzical look, and replied:

"Hypocrisy, much?"

"Retribution is like the Blood Angels of Warmahordes."

I can't wrap my head around that one. I think he was implying that Retribution is broken, but that doesn't make sense. OK, Retribution is the Blood Angels of Warmahordes. And the Blood Angels are the Haqqislam of 40K. And Haqqislam is the Rasputina of Infinity.

What?

The ignorants always calling my tau communists.

If you think so too, read the following, I can't be arsed to explain it any more:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/180/364848.page#2780982

They aren't communists, they are imperialists that are into the greater good, by force if necessary. SImilar to the British Empire to my mind, including inducting some of the conquered races into their armies.

People keep calling my Orks football hooligans.

Orks don't play football, of either variety, but will indulge in a bit of Blood Bowl

I think you're exactly right. Now, I haven't painted a painting since high school...but I was terrible at it, and I have spent more time practicing that than I have my minis (thus far). Not to say that I'm terribly good at painting models, either, but I'm definitely better at it than anything else artsy.

Wow some of these are really amusing! I've never had anything too bad said to me. Mainly just the derisive glances of anyone who learns that "I play war with toys."

I will be having a nice conversation with another person and he'll walk up and hear us discussing 40K. He then precedes to explain on how my Tau or Nids wouldn't be able to stop his Snikrot and blah blah blah...... I said that I'd play him but he "Only plays apocalypse" sooooooooo ok what's the point of telling me how great you are if you never intend on playing me one on one?

....Did I post this without realizing it?

Aside from replacing boxing and bjj with lacrosse thats pretty close to my ordeal with it. Otherwise I just hate the "space marines are so cheap/space marines are for noobs" comments I hear. I play Salamanders because I love how in the fluff they can actually be said to be protectors or the imperium's servants. The twin linked melta/flamer things is second to my interest in them.

Yes, if you like an army play it! I just personally shy away from SM just because so many people play it. But they play it for a reason! Either its cause they love it or that its good! Honestly I will never look down on people for that. I personally like the aesthetic of Tau but I'd like to build a Kill Team of every army I tend to paint for relaxation while at college. Many times I have shown up at school with paint on my hands or a smudge on my face best way ever to show up to class! I have some of the best grades in school too! I think 40k makes you smarter

Benamint wrote: Then there is my girl friend: "I love you my nerd! Your so cute and I am glad it makes me happy!"

haha. Yes that sounds very familiar almost word for word.

Obviously I am marrying this one. Gotta be true love to put up with my rekindled 40k addiction.

@FifteenHours - Yes that is the plan for me as well It ain't often that I run across a girl who will over look an addiction that most of my guy friends scoff at!

Oh and an added one when I played my first game ever with Tau against a DE player!

DE: I built my list to wreck Tau! Hahahaha I am going to beat the crap out of you! yadda yadda

Me: Ok well I guess we'll see (In my mind, "Ohhhhhh you foolish foolish little man!")

Me exploding or wrecking everyone of his transports early in the game and making his archon and incubi hitchhike/walk his way across the table he got kinda quiet. Then when he finally made his way in to assault range his guys were pretty dwindled down. After tying in combat for 2 turns his Archon finally sweeps my FWs then I just shoot him. Massacre for the Tau

yeah ive played many a game against tau, and have a pretty good record. Which is where I hear the griefing. Although I have to admit I can get a wee bit competitive at times. I've been lucky though to not have to deal with TFG...which i hope doesn't mean its me.

Don't be too upset, I invited a friend to join my gaming group, upon being asked to choose an army (and after showing him the options) the response I received was: "I want to play as Mandalorians." Nonetheless the Space Marines are in the mail and I will be painting them "like Mandalorians"... for cash $$

A bum?

I've been told at a tournament that I bought all 22k of my Blood Angels (and painted them) just to jump onto the BA bandwagon..

My newcrons vs a BA player at my LFGS.

"Necrons are still useless after the new codex, you wasted your money."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN TACHYON ARROWS HAVE STR 10 AP 1 AND UNLIMITED RANGE?! GIVE ME YOUR CODEX!"

Shortly after the Land raider and the squad within it was no more.

I take a risk and assault his Captain with my Overlord to keep him out of range of my shooty line.

"You do realize you have an Initiative of 2 right? That was a real stupid move."

One turn later theres a dead BA captain on the ground and a Overlord with no wounds taken.

Needless to say he kept quiet after this.

OHH and also, I won the game because he had no remaining units after turn 5 . I was quite excited to have won by biggest victory by far against such an arrogant player.

When you are a biker you know where the good unhealthy places to eat. Probably a reason why my arteries are clogging up now

My BT are painted red, so I frequently get
"Are those Blood Angels?"
"No, they're Black Templars."
"Are you sure they aren't Blood Angels?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Well, you should play Blood Angels."

The wanderers? Sounds like a bunch of traitors!

Wow melta guns are broken.

I play normal space marines.

Half my store since I last played, all played space wolves. They had the stereotypical armies.... Long fangs + rocket spam...
And the pot calls the kettle black...

Also "Your army looks stupid! Why would anyone name your captain!"

"Your army is broken!" -4th Ed (All my veterans had artificer armor. It was hilarious he was playing chaos space marines. from 4th ed. Undoubtly the most rigged codex I ever faced.

I got told by an Marine opponent that orks were cowards, after he broke a unit with shooting, with all of his army camped inside LR's and Rhinos, or behind reinforced wall scenery.

I asked him which army showed up on the field in t-shirts and beer cans, advancing in the open under artillery bombardment.

Him- 'That's easy... the dumb orks'

And which army is wearing the thickest armour in the game, and hiding inside the best armoured vehicles in the game, afraid to come out?

Me- 'That's right... the Mighty Space Marines... 'and they shall know no fear...' my ass....

< Taken by the void dragon. >

@Che-Vito - Totally understandable! I tend to kinda take the role of the historical general when I play a historical army. I played in a tourney a month ago and lost a whole battalion of troops first turn because I forgot my opponent had a SMG platoon (3 shots each) in ambush. I ran giving him double shots..... In one turn I lost over a third of my army..... I laughed really hard due to my own stupidity and then thought that it was probably close to real life.... But then again if I hadn't laughed i think I woulda cried cause I then got tabled 6-1.......

I'm setting up my Orcs and Goblins to battle a friend's Lizardmen in the store and a guy walks over from the 40K battle.

"Ah, your Orks don't have any guns, and their on square bases, what kind of slow are you?"

The guy was standing next to a box of Orc Boyz on the shelf and had no clue what WHF was, or that Orcs and Orks aren't the same thing -_-

Literally everybody says, "Whoa, are those Chinese hats!?"

They mistake these:



Which are supposed to be these, according to mfg:



And I use to represent these:

A guy at a tourny asked about my Urban Tau, "Is your Army painted?" Grey is different than bare plastic. For F*ck Sakes!

NuggzTheNinja wrote:Literally everybody says, "Whoa, are those Chinese hats!?"

To be fair, there's not a lot of difference at arm's length. I would think it was your representation of a conical straw hat because all those black dots in neat rows makes me think of a weave rather than a helmet net cover.

Pipboy101 wrote:A guy at a tourny asked about my Urban Tau, "Is your Army painted?" Grey is different than bare plastic. For F*ck Sakes!

While I wouldn't say they're unpainted, the bare bases on the infantry and lack of detailing on the suites makes this a somewhat reasonable question. I do like your color scheme, though.. I'd just say add some rubble to the bases and maybe some ID markings to the suits to help make them look more finished.

I would add stuff to them but I sold them back in 2009. The comment he made got me so heated because he had a Space Marine Army at the same tourny that was just sprayed with a can of automobile paint. Bases an all and he didn't even paint the guns a different color. I don't think he has ever posted any of his minis before.

You might recognize the army from this picture from our battle report that was on the front page of Dakka back in 2009:

When you are a biker you know where the good unhealthy places to eat. Probably a reason why my arteries are clogging up now

Nah the gaming store is in roseville or my basement. Both of which are open to traveling games

I put my Red Corsairs on the table.

"You can't have two demon princes"

This comment was made by some guy who was supposed to be knowledgeable (and favored for 1st place), right after my CSM list was looked over and approved by the TO. Funny thing is he wasn't even my 1st round opponent. Funnier thing is he didn't make it to the finals, and I took 2nd that day.

Strangest one I heard was that the regular Ork boy was overpriced...

We were playing a game of Kill Teams, and he said that since the boyz' Mob Rule didn't apply (since every model counts as its own unit), he should get a discount on buying them.

best one I got

"Monoliths suck, my termis and sanguinary guard took yours out! why do you even use one?"
I then pointed out to him tat it had destroyed half of his army and he needed 400+ points to take it out, and that he got extremely lucky by rolling tonnes of 6's for pen, and a lot of 5's and 6's for the result...

the same guy said that my overlord was a faillier, even though the only thing that could wound him was a direct hit from a multi-melta, and after he had just destroyed his captain, a small 5 man squad of marines and his death company.
note that the overlord was armed with warscythe, SWeave, Phase Shifter, rez orb and Phylactery.....

What was your list TheHarleqwin?

illuknisaa wrote:What was your list TheHarleqwin?

It's changed a bit since, but I usually run two battlewagons with an RPJ, riggers, and deffrollas. In one, Grotsnik and Meganobz. MANZ are cybork'd. In the other, boys. Ghaz and Snikrot held in reserve, two of the kommandos with burnas. Amount of kommandos, and remaining choices vary depending on what I expect to go up against, but usually involve lootas and more boys, sometimes koptas.

It's a list people tend not to expect, again, because so many people enforce that there are only a few archetypes to stick to. I find my best games are when I bring out my army, and my opponent frowns because he doesn't understand what an ork player is doing running a list that way. So far, I've only lost twice. Both to IG. Some ties, but a dozen or so wins against Tau, Wolves, Grey Knights and Nids.

HERESY! An vindicare assassin team is on its way heretic!

"the Wanderers! That sounds like a stupid name! What are they eldar? HAhaha"

One kid at my flgs was poking fun at my DE saying they were "dainty space elves". We then played a 1500pt 3 way battle (him, his friend, and I). They both had dragowings. with no librarians. no dreadknight. no psyfledreads. They sat in cover and shot. They teamed up against me and I tabled both of them by turn 5.

dainty indeed.

I have Brown space marines. I have owned them for about 6 years now. And every time I go to a tournement, my army is refered to as "The poop marines".

The only variation was "Looks like your Blood Angels dried up". (I play out of the BA codex, as I play a custom BA succesor chapter)

One local store's TFG who plays Grey Knight Purifier/Psyflemen spam incessantly complained that my Eldar Runes of Warding are the most unfair thing in the game and that they should be nerfed along with my howling banshees' Banshee Mask (he spams halberds, go figure). I called him out on his win-button army and he defended his Grey Knights saying that they aren't more powerful or ridiculous than Codex Marines. As I also play Codex Marines, I couldn't believe that statement either.

Edit/ He also was **** talking a Dark Eldar player for several hours saying "Everything is armor 10? Wow that is the worst army ever!" Of course when he played the Dark Eldar player and got rolled by seven Venoms and three Ravagers all he could do was complain about how broken and unfair Dark Eldar is.

"OP" is loserspeak for "I either can't make the effort or don't have the skill to build or play an army that can take that."

"Hah, IG, this will be easy then."

"Hay this dude is wearing a dress His army an't going to woth squat."

"Oh wow! Did GW release an AdMech army? Those guys are so cool!"

...those are necrons...

(though admittedly, an AdMech army would be neat)

guy: "Ha ha! Crons have I2, they suck!"
Me: "yeah sure, can we play?"
(Turn 2)
Guy: "what, are you really going to assault draigo with I2 wraiths? That c'tan b***h ain't gonna save you none either."
Me: "yeah, well, i'm going to need you to roll an initiative test..."
Guy: "you're a dumb@$$, an I test is easy to pass for..."
Me: "...at I1. Fail, and Draigo goes toodles."
Guy: "wha..? That's bull. You're making stuff up."
Me: "my whip coils knock your initiative to 1. My c'tan has time's arrow which makes you have to pass an initiative test or be removed from the board." *I hand him codex with page open to C'tan Shard's entry*
Guy: "this is bull!" *marches over to store owner and some veteran players, who, after listening to this guy complain and view the entries for Time's arrow and whip coils, agree that I'm right. Guy throws fit, pack up his GK, knocks over and breaks my Tomb stalker, and storms out yelling it's utter bull that an I2 army can beat GK much less Draigo.*
Store owner: *sigh* "I hate bandwagon fanboys..."

Classic.

Not a fan of the whip-coils/Time's Arrow trick, but i'm even less a fan of whiny, entitled GK fanbois

Old Guard GK players are cool though. I Iz one

Well, in fairness GK's are OP vs Daemons, even without list tailoring to do so... List tailored GK's vs Daemons just makes you wonder at times what they're snorting when the devs write rules.

My first game against the new Derp Knights went along the lines of;
Me: 'this should be a great grudge match! Daemons vs new GK's'
GK player: 'I doubt it, GK's now suck against daemons... I can't ignore your broken army-wide invulns anymore, my force weapons were nerfed and Sanctuary is a useless power now!'
Me: 'So, you still want a game?'
GK player: 'If only to prove Ward screwed up the book and made the worst army in the game suck even more!'

I honestly should have walked away at this point, because I had a feeling things were about to go sour. But I really wanted a game that night and it was mostly a fantasy crowd hanging out at the time so my options were pretty few.
So he deploys his army & wins the roll for first turn... Then casts warp quake with 30 strike marines & 10 intercepters, all combat squaded, drives/shunts about and spreads his guys out the max 2" coherency, locking off the entire table.

GK player: 'So um, I win!'
Me: 'So, are we going to play a *real* game at some point that doesn't involve you hiding behind a dumb gimmick?'
GK player: 'Pfft! You deserve it! Daemons are broken anyways - Flamers are stoopid OP, my guys lose to bloodcrushers, invulns and eternal warrior on an entire army is so OP!!! Your army ruined fantasy so this called karma b !'
Me: 'So, your testicles called, they want to know if you're ever going to grow a penis...' *cue laughter of most of the store*

Find out latter the guy is just some WAAC's git who used to play mainly fantasy untill the fantasy players told him to get lost because he was no fun to be around. And the army he rolled at the time... Yep, 7th ed Daemons!

Me: Now get the hell off my wagon.

I would like to see that conversion. It sounds nice.
But yeah, I hate it when people accuse wh40k veterans of bandwagon jumping. Just disrespectful that is.

I once had a nid player complain that necrons were full of the most cheesiest gak after I killed his harpy with one tachyon arrow hit...3 turns later his hormagants ate every single non vehicle necron on the board.

BROKEN, That is all.

I play ORKs, GK, and SW. With proxed Guard, BA, DE.

Now newly assembled Necrons.

Wow your so good at painting that you painted them the color they were in the box..... ,-,-'

For anyone that's just showing up, here is a tl;dr summary of quite a lot of the thread:

- "Your troop/unit/army is rubbish". Often followed by being beaten by said rubbish troop/unit/army.
- Anything bad that happens to the player is "broken".
- Combination of the above.
- Player gets the play style of a troop/unit/army wrong.
- False assumptions that anyone playing an army shortly after release must be on the bandwagon.
- A n army must be of chapter/regiment/etc X because they're a certain colour.

We certainly don't seem to be developing a huge range of different answers.

~~~~~

Two slightly different ones of my own, all relating to Inquisitor:
- While gaming with about a dozen people at WHW, a kid comes up and says "Inquisitor, do people still play that?".
- Several players who know I frequently scratch-sculpt entire characters spending sometime trying to work out which model my Inquisitor's legs had come from.

A n army must be of chapter/regiment/etc X because they're a certain colour

Well to be fair, most marines look the same to me anyway (except for the pain scheme)
The only exception I could think of are GK and Space Wolves, because they look so unique. (one has halberds, the other have beards)

Yeah, I see your point, but I was talking more about home brew armies.

Here is a great one against a lizardmen player at a tournament about 5 months ago.

We were playing open lists so we both looked over each others lists and then he went first moving his Slann in a big block of Sarus towards one of my Gor units

My turn I charge get a buff off and kill alot of sarus and cause that unit to break which I overrun

Him: I didnt know about that banner you had. Next time you should tell people when you are running cheesey magic items

Me: We were playing open list you should of just asked

Him: What ever the Beastmen book is broken anyway

As I proceeded to choke on my drink he gave me a zero out of 5 on sportsmanship. He had quit turn 1

But yeah, how do you miss that? Aren't WB covered in parchment, a darker shade of red and have a demonic face as an icon?

Playing my tanith (filed down shoulder pads, camo cloaks of Green stuff, custom heads and lasguns on a few, ect with heavy conversions) against Eldar at the table :

My turn had just ended and the guy was moving his models when 3 younglings come over:

Me: *turn and nod at them then go back to listening to eldar play*

Guy 1: Are those cadians?

Me: No, They are converted cadians to Tanith

Guy2: but there cadians

Me: I guess if you wanna call them that

Guy3: Well unless they have Gaunt They arent Tanith

Right about that point I pointed to my buddy who was sitting at the table besides us holding my Ibram Gaunt Model up for them to see. They just shut up and left the table then went and bothered him. Granted, Not all my stuff has been converted yet but if somebody tells you there army is X then who are you to question it?

I was once told that having 120-180 ork boys in a 1500-1750 game is broken and that no army in all of 40k can kill that many models in in 6 turns.

I then passed out and woke up in the hospital, having suffered a heart attack while I was unconscious.

honest I swear it...

Only kids play Ultramarines..

Im 32, I can crack 25 Pull ups and run 3 miles in 20 minutes.. I'll snap your neck like a chicken filthy neck beard!

The quote unquote 'Lore Nerds' of 40k at my LGS argued with a friend of mine for hours saying that the Grey Knights aren't Space Marines and are not part of the Astartes.

They also cried foul at the fact that he wants to buy Grey Knights models, and paint them as Blood Ravens using the GK codex. Obviously its not a perfect science but they absolutely flipped their lid when he told them his plans to have a GK Blood Raven Army, lol.

Cheers.

Person looks at my homebrew and VERY distinctive nurgle army,

"Death guard man, whoohoo!"
"gotta love their noise marines!"

You have some bad luck with people during tournaments don't you man?

Similar to some others, but the weirdest ones for me...

I paint. A lot. I try very hard to only field painted units. But right after the new o&g dropped, I really wanted to get in a game, mostly to see what I want to run and direct my painting efforts a bit. So I fielded some unpainted stuff for the first time in a very long time. Some d-bag neckbeard, never seen before in the store, hovers over the game, and watches. I struggle a bit with the rules and lose some units, so Neckbeard snidely comments, "that's what you get for not painting!" Seriously? Who the frak do you think you are? Social policemen really need to be part of the social group before passing judgement.

Another guy, a regular, another time... "You should stop painting and actually play some games!" I know him, it was a joke, but when paired with the other comment, I just can't win.

Every time I play my Wolves, some idiot has to walk over and tell me that I can't win with 4 Dreads and no Long Fangs.

I know it's hard to win, and that's why I play the list. Because I don't play to god damn win, you stupid gakkers.

As a girl, my experience the first time I walked into a GW store and was met by the token 'dumb redshirt':
I walk into the store, carrying my army case while wearing my '99 Canadian GT shirt, firguring that'll be enough to stop anyone from thinking I'm some clueless blond.

Red Shirt: "Oh wow! You're a girl!"

Me: "Well spoted captain obvious."

Red Shirt: "So, this stuff is called warhammer, it's about building & painting model soldiers and then playing games. Would you be interested in a free model to paint and a gaming intro?!"

Me: *looks as case in hand* "I'm waiting for a friend so we can play a game."

Red Shirt: "OMG! You know how to play! Where have you been all my life?!"

Me: "Obviously trying to stay as far away as possible..."

My first game with my new Necrons outside of the house:

"Oh...so these are the new 'Sieg Heil'?"

Wasn't familiar with this phrase being used as a noun, but the intent was clear enough...

"Uh oh, here comes Hitler in his flying toilet seat!!"

And just about any time my army would accomplish anything (say, my Warriors kill a single Pink Horror): "Sieg Heil!" along with a tasteful little salute. The rest of the store keeps looking over every time this happens---I am hoping my cringing is visible at a distance. This during a game where my dice were just atrocious. No 6's on my Tesla weapons, not a single RP roll made, my CCBs both blown up by Pink-freaking-Horrors in the first two turns, my Overlord insta-gibbed by a Soulgrinder, a squad and a half of Wraiths chewed up by 5 Bloodcrushers. Hilariously, the guy conceded the game after the Crushers were killed off. Nevermind that we were playing Annihilation and he was actually ahead by 2 KP (I only realized this myself on the ride home)...

Mostly it was just embarrassing. I'm playing an ostensibly "grown" man and I get incessant pouting and Nazi epithets from a sore loser (who was actually an oblivious winner). Never again.

40 Year old men that act in this manner are common to our hobby it seems.

"Necrons are broken."

- Grown man playing Grey Knight Draigowing, several seconds before ragequit, prior to 5th ed necron codex release.

Everytime someone walks past during turn 1 (or just after set up) or similar and says something along the lines of "Looks like you're losing" or similar I die a little inside.

It happens rather regularly but so far every time this has happened I've won the match in question.

I walk into the store, carrying my army case while wearing my '99 Canadian GT shirt, firguring that'll be enough to stop anyone from thinking I'm some clueless blond.

Red Shirt: "Oh wow! You're a girl!"

Me: "Well spoted captain obvious."

Red Shirt: "So, this stuff is called warhammer, it's about building & painting model soldiers and then playing games. Would you be interested in a free model to paint and a gaming intro?!"

Me: *looks as case in hand* "I'm waiting for a friend so we can play a game."

Red Shirt: "OMG! You know how to play! Where have you been all my life?!"

Me: "Obviously trying to stay as far away as possible..."

wow.... dense much?
