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

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

MeanGreenStompa wrote:"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.

Because Land Raiders certainly aren't OP and Amazing compared to a group of BS 2, weakly armoured Ork vehicles that have worse guns, surely?

Brunius wrote:Well, someone told me that Guardsmen can't shoot for gak - the next round, I obliterated his Lootas in shooting.

Does that count?

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.

lmao...he just could not POSSIBLY be wrong, it had to be everyone else.

"No! I can't possibly be wrong!"



People like that provide hours of entertaintment.

"What did you do for fun back in your day grandpa?"
"We went to wargaming tournaments and laughed at stubborn people."

Playing against a space wolf army, Looted Wagon drops a pie plate on a squad of scouts and wipes them out. "Orks are so broken." ???

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'.

Were you playing against the Swedish Chef?

"So your Imperial fists are a successor chapter to the black Templars, why not just go with the original?".

I was left speechless

Please don't post images making fun of the disabled. Thanks! ~Manchu

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.

My mum was from Campbeltown in Scotland and I visited Campbelltown in NSW while I was there.

I liked it.

I take it you didn't see the rest of Australia? I live in Campbelltown, and I used to live in Wollongong. I can safely say there are far, far better places to vist.

Went all over.

I guess it is down to what you are used to.

I was used to living in a run down industrial area of a poor town near Glasgow where it rains semi-constantly.

Seriously considering moving out there in a couple of years though.

And this was from a girl.

Iranna.

I feel your pain. I was told my Eldar were broken by a Grey Knight player and he wont play me with them anymore.

I was told Legion of Everblight was the best army to win objective games.

My funniest one. After placing all 80 shoota boyz on the table and a large mob of lootas. "That was dumb of you to give them all guns instead of choppas and sluggas. Everyone knows that Orks can't shoot."

marielle wrote:"Why are your Ogres green?"

Because they have layers?



I don't really have anyone say anything stupid, but some people I play against keep suggesting I use Lelith because she's OP

"Your Guard are weak because they are BS 3 and have SV 5+, even your vets are only a little better... ... ... wait, how many tanks is tha... wait that can't be legal... tank squadrons, WMDs... Uh,oh"

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.

My friend thinks Storm Troopers are good because they're better than Fire Warriors. Also thinks Ogryns are overpowered.

... i'm sorry....what?.. I think that there's gak in my ears...Ogryns, overpowered?

I got told Grots were OP, for feth's sake...

Just because he had mined the scenery with scout bikers and i use my grots as a skirmish screen ....

My boyz made it through the cover unharmed.

My grots ..welll.. thats one over there, over there and up there..

Someone Told me my Bretonnians where overpowered...

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.

Iranna.

If he plays razorspam BA (wich went out of fashion half a year ago) then his claim is well grounded: MechDar is one of the most dreaded matchup for razorspam armies

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.

Being told that the only melta in my army was cheesy and broken because it popped a tank in one shot. (a standard melta mind you)

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
