I rolled 47 1's in a 1200 point game one time. Still won

Tell me you were playing Orks. Otherwise... omg.

If it's ork shootaboys, 47 1's is what, 1 round of shooting?

Well.... they might have been for your Morale, Psyker and Initiative tests...

Most annoying gaming moment I ever had was playing pitched battle against my friend's Eldar up at the LA Battle Bunker. He took first turn and used two units of Pathfinders to shoot at my Chapter Master and a separate Assault Squad with a dual Power Fist (i know) Sergeant. He fails to rend my Chapter Master but gets three wounds on him, . "Wow, really? Well that blows," and I pull my Chapter Master model. The second Pathfinder unit opens up on my Assault Squad scoring a few rends and regular wounds for a total of six wounds. I fail three of them and fail my pinning test. "Oh wow, this is going pretty badly so far." He finishes his shooting failing to do any more damage and so I roll morale on the pinned Assault Squad: . So now I roll to see how far they flee: . That was 435 Points of Jump Pack wearing Marines gone on turn one. I had a little payback at the end of the game though when a combat squad beat a Dire Avenger squad + Farseer in assault and swept them, making the Annihilation game a deceiving 4 to 2 in Eldar's favor.

I vomit into my mouth when my "lucky" scatter die sends Belial and his Deathwing Command squad into the Warp, but at least my friend's Chaos Space Marines with Plasma guns keep shooting themselves.

I was proxy testing sternguard, so i shoot the ap3 (gets hot) shots at the enemys final marine squad. 10 shots and close range with 5 guys. Five 1`s and then two 1`s and three 2`s. Really bad rolling there.

No, I play tau (But FW warrior heavy tau)

Some for morale, but no Psykers for Tau, and this was when we were nooblets who didn't know when to do I tests

I won because the guy I was playing against didn't really know what to do in objective games. He killed a lot of my troops but he ignored 2/3 objectives, winning me the game.

To take advantage of a newer player like that is just plain wrong.

If you need your ego stroked that badly then don't play 40K. please ;0)

That's a bit beyond TFG.

I should add my second runner up. I once played my tau friend with my GK, and I built a mostly termie army and deep struck started everything except my dreadnaught (hidden behiind a building)

thinking I would be sneaky I took a Grand master with 9 termie ret squad

Stern with a 9 man ret squad

2x squads 1 justicar 9x GK's as fast attack

1x purgation squad deep strike

2x suad 1 justicar 4 GK's (minimum for deployment each in a rhino.

round one was uneventful as I hid the heck out of my vehicles. he didn't advance far.

round 2 I rolled for deep strike entry as reserve. got 3 of 4 units in. placed my markers, each scattered off the board.... and yes, both HQ squads and my FA GK squad scattered off the board.

turn 3 started (why I do not know because the game was essentially over at that point for VP objective) dropped in my purgation squade into the side of one of his hammerheads. *poof*

all that was left was my dread and 2 rhino's with minimum squads against an entire 1500 pt Tau army.

we had a good laugh about it though, still do to this day. but MAN did that suck!

I'll add my story if that be what it is. I was in my 1st tournement a bit ago and was over excited even though i was trying to keep calm, cool and strategized. I had enetered to meet new people but to mainly see how good i actually was under pressure in unknown situations. Numbers were picked and, tbh, i wanted to vs our thread maker happygolucky. The first match was annihilation and i had gotten paired up against a chaos daemons kid. I hadn't vs.ed daemons before (as well as nearly every army i played there ) so i was pretty much glad about it. There was one thing wrong, i was playing a kid who, this match, decided to be an arse. Before we did anything i said " I havn't played chaos before let alone daemons." he said no problem and explained a single rule which was the half army deepstrikes and half doesn't. I asked "can you go over some more rules as i wont know how to even play against you." my reply was "well, i think its fair and more fun if you play not knowing what the other army has." "so have you not played against IG before?" "Oh yeah, loads of times." -_-, first mistake was letting this go(he also had his own IG codex, but thats not exactly wrong looking up your enemy). The next thing that got on my nerves was that he didn't have ANYTHING of his own gear. (he vs.ed my other friend afterwards which i found out he did have his own templates, tape measure etc..., he must have just 'forgot' when it came to me) I had to share my tape measure, templates and one of my dice cubes (turned out to be the lucky one *rolls eyes*) the game set off but i was still optimistic 1750 pts of cool firepower, that is, if i had some good dice. im not blaming it on the dice, but when everything is 1's and 2's for IG and the hits that do get through are stopped by the single dice he's using for ALL saves that always scores 5 or 6. just from the 3rd turn i was getting sick of it, and fast. needless to say, i lost but took a soulgrinder with me...

All my other games were really fun which is another main reason for playing. i layed a tau, who is a friend of a friend and was quite scared whenever he saw something of mine even step towards him(drew). a grey knights on objectives. that played out well and really close to a win but ended short on turn 4(loss) and blood angels. the only bit in there that hugely sucked was his dreadnaught with bloodclaw talons or something. Majorly my fault as i saw he had diff weps and didnt bother asking and went ahead and piled an inf squad with yarrick into the blades. that was a close to a win too but was cut short yet again (darn luck, and time i take on movement.) Oh nd a friendly SM player who was the best sportsman i've seen

So I am playing the newest incarnation of my beloved Space Wolves, and end up against an Eldar army being fielded by a guy of no more than 16. While my army is WYSIWYG, full of conversions and painted to a very high standard, his is mostly bare plastic. After the second turn of him getting slaughtered due to a complete lack of strategy on his part, he decided to begin referring to my army as Team Jacob (apparently this is not that isolated of an incident, as this was also described in a previous post). Problem with this is the fact that my wife and oldest daughter are Twilight stupid and I have been already lost more hours of my life than I care to while being forced to endure these movies. Apparently, he decided this was a bad idea when I growled at him (at 6'2" and 275 - linebacker style, I guess I made an impression), as he became very quiet and agreeable for the rest of the game!

Most annoying moment? When a player at your club only tailor's armies to beating yours.

Are you the only one he plays?

Why do you keep bringing the same army? [just google a new netlist ]

I somehow came in second place in a tournament in which I won every game. The final game was against the other guy who was undefeated. Beat him in a tight game, but I was the overall winner right? Wrong. The guy who I played in the final somehow won, as soon as he recieved his prize he bolted. I just shrugged and figured it was a points thing.

Someone questioned the result a few days later and it turned out I was the winner. The GW tourney setup that was used confused the organizer which was understandable. I suppose it was somewhat frustrating but I still had fun so didn't make a big deal about it.

Playing daemons against a Strike squad spam Grey knights player...

i was wanting to fight you on the first match but to my (un)suprise i was fighting the IG player who had too-many-tanks (seriously most armys are only allowed 3).

what me off was the fact that he has been using a leafblower list that got someone else to win at ard boys

now most of you may think "you only play in tourneys to win" but at the tourneys me and yarrick go to there not that competitive compared to ard boys.


oh and he got 1st place...

Oh this one is to easy. It didn't happen to me but I watched it happen and it infuriated me. So there is this kid who plays tau up at our LGS. He isn't half bad he just tends to look at the bad side of his dice rolling. He also gets very emotional. There is another guy who is much older and has a much more gruff attitude. (see where this is going?) We have all played this kid before and if things are going really bad for him, ie I instant death his shas'o commander with a lucky dark lance, he will sometimes tear up and go off to the bathroom to recollect himself and come back. Everyone has just let him call the game there and move on to another game, and none of us try to do it just happens on accident. Well the kid is playing this older guys death company BA (30 freaking guys) with termis in a LR and assault marines. We also have a rule that we don't use special characters...this guy had Sanginor AND Dante (great ) Well about turn 3 he has the kid backed into a corner with the BA taking minimal casuallties and the tau down to half a FW squad and some pathfinders and he is bawling. This older guy screams...and I mean SCREAMS in the middle of the game calling people a cheater even though he doesn't know all the rules. So here is this guy 50 yrs old screaming at a kid who is crying his eyes out over a game of toy soldiers, calling him a cheater even though he is clearly about to win and he didn't play all the rules right. (wound allocation) I was ready to deck the guy but the store owner asked him to leave for the evening, which he did albeit loudly and throwing his models everywhere in a rage.

On a happy note he tried to manipulate rules in a tournament against a buddy of mine who also saw this. My buddy (who never does this) rules lawyered him into the ground and that guy took home dead last, and my buddy had the highest sportsmanship score because of that one game.

Moral of the story its plastic soldiers don't make kids cry.

That's a sad story. That older gentleman is the type of person I do not get along with.

My worst time was when playing a 2v2 at my FLGS with my friends me with my tau with my friends orks against my two friends with 'nilla marines 500pts per player. I had my commander and bodyguard on a hill exactly 12" away from a land speeder I measure it carefully and I say That it can hit with its fusion blaster they disagree and go to remeasure. But, as they do this they knock the models over as the hill was steep and it was hard to balance them in the first place so i try to stand them were they were. They then remeasure not being sure so the other one measures too again knocking them over but this time moving them further down the hill by about 1". Well this means that I am out of range and they refuse to let me fire it, needless to say I still blew it up. Also I continued to take out one of my friends entire 500pts by turn 3. Whilst the orks went at the other. Also I didnt lose a model all game and the commander only took a single wound, but he starts with 4 so no biggy. But still, unfortunately the one I play against more often does it every game and I even show him but he still has to use his tape measure in case I am measuring it wrong.

Dude, there is no punctuation at all in that post, nobody really wants to read through that because its diffictult to do, so could you pleas sort it out. For instance.

The worst time was when playing a 2v2 at my FLGC with my friends; me with my tau, and my friends orks against my other two friends with vanilla space marines at 500pts per player. When i had my commader and bodygaurd on a hill exactly 12" away from a land speeder i measure, and my commander can hit it with his fusion blaster. But they disagree and go to measure but as they do, they knock my models over as they brush them with the tape measure because of the hill it was difficult to stand them there in the first place. So i try to stand them back were they were, then they then measure again saying that they arent sure about the range, so the other one measures too, knocking them over but this time moving my commander and bodyguard further down the hill by about 1". Well this means im out of range and they refuse to let me fire it. Needless to say i still blew it up and took out one of my friends entire 500pts whilst the mate on my team went at the other foe taking him out completely by turn 3 and not losing one model, only a wound on the commander, but as he starts with 4 so its no biggy. But unfortunatly the friend i play against more often than not does it every game, and i even show him but he still has to use his tape measure in case im measuring it wrong.

Is that easier to read?

Edit: oh and welcome to dakka!

Ok I have edited my first post I hope it is all right now.

No he ended up getting banned from the store as well as an RPG shop down the street for his behavior. I believe that incedent was his second strike. (Third was when he cussed out the owner, independent retailer, in front of customers.) But we make fun of him now. Like the other day I accidentaly knocked over my vendetta, after my opponent playing orks measured ranged (he was in range.) When I set it up I was a little back, still in range mind you, and to kinda mock this guy he went "cheater!" We all knew he was joking, I ooched it closser by 1/4" and we all went on and had a good day (hope he doesn't show up behind one day and we are doing that though.)

RatBot wrote:I can think of two situations.

1.) Many many years ago, when Dark Eldar were new and had their original crappy Codex, they were my army of choice. I was playing against a kid a bit younger than myself, and he was actually quite a good opponent.

His friends, on the other hand, were aggravating. At the time I wanted to try out some Incubi, so I proxied a squad of Necron Warriors. No one had a problem with this and since they were part of my Archon's retinue, and the only thing in the retinue, there was no confusion as to what they were. Just to be sure, whenever I did anything with them, I'd refer to them as "the Necrincubi". Anyway, this kid's friends were pretty terrible. They kept picking up my minis in the middle of the game, moving them around, etc. After the tenth or so occurrence of my Incubi proxies being moved around while a 10 year old squeals "INFILTRATE, INFLITRATE!" I just apologized to my opponent, packed up, and left. If I were to give them the benefit of the doubt I'd say that my use of proxies somehow made them think it's OK to behave like morons, but the more likely case is that... well, kids are often morons and they would've behaved the same way regardless.

Now, again, on proxies, I'm OK with it if you want to proxy one unit, maybe two, to see how they work in game before you plunk down the cash for them. However, if your entire army is proxies (not conversions, proxies) then you're getting close to

2.) The Net-List Kid. Long story short, he appears to just get uber lists off the net and then proxies literally everything except two squads of Space Marines using the store owners' stuff from the back room, except Drop Pods. He uses Coke cans for Drop Pods. He's also not a very good sport at all and is quite liberal when it comes to measuring movement and ranges. I missed out on like four easy kill points because I kept forgetting that the stupid friggin cans were drop pods and not terrain.


I find myself feverishly hoping I wasn't that bad when I was a kid. guess I just hate kids.

There is as many bad adults as there is bad kids. And you got some BAD kids.

There is as many bad adults as there is bad kids. And you got some BAD kids.

Yea, my friends brother (eleven years old mind you) Is more mature than our other 15 year old friend. While when we play the game (the kid), he tells me about his lists, new units he would like to buy, etc.etc., all my other friend can say is "Marneus Calgar is gonna own you man I gonna kick your ass!" While we play, whenever I kill a single guy, he yells "YOU SUCK!" With the younger guy, the worst he says is "Dangit." Oh, and the kid is much better than my friend. I beat my friend nearly every time, the kid beats me a fair amount of the time.

My most annoying moment:
Game was going well, 2000p each, Chaos got obliterated by my SM. then Daemon Prince of Nurgle appears and systematically kills all 1500p I had left.
The most annoying move I ever made:
Had to stop a dreadnaught in a capture and control. iI ws near my table edge and I was Tyranids. Rushed it with termagaunts and held it there for 4 turns using without number to keep it trapped. If the dreadnaught had broken out, it would have buchered the hormagaunts holding the objective and I would have lost.

Just not too long ago, i had three games(in a row) where i didnt get nearly any hits to actually even draw nevermind win.

what annoys me isn't so much war40k related, but hobby stores in general.

Kids don't bother me - little kids who have heard of 'those guys called space marines' stand around and offer editorial comments do.

I wrote up a list for our qualifying 'ard boyz player to beat up on and this kid was going on for minutes about how I should just quit cause I was going to lose cause 'when the big bugs get you, its over!.' I ended up losing, but we both learned from the experience which is good and then the little kid does the goobery 'neener neener' to me and he is completely oblivious to what the point of the game actually was. Both myself and my opponent are in their mid to late 20's, and this kid was maybe 13.

It shouldn't bother me as much as it should, but an immature peanut gallery makes me want to punch a baby.

EDIT - Terrible grammar, stupid little kids
