Play Sisters of Battle. Pray to the Emperor before each of your turns. +1 if you're fighting against Chaos.

Play all grots. Someone at my store is actually building a list that runs over 200 grots, and little else. We all fear the day we have to wait for his movement phases to end.

As I've discovered, run a Space Wolves list with four Wolf Lords on Thunderwolves, with Runic Armour and Storm Shield with differing weapons. The resulting unit is so hard to kill (and so deadly in CC) that your opponent will cry cheese every game. It's won me a few league cycles now.

(And yes, I know what counters it. I typically stay away from the few things that can take it down quick)

Out of Curiosity, What counters it?

Not the grots, the furries.

ID weapons, especially railguns I believe

Grey Knights as a codex counters it - that much Force Weapon takes 'em down quick. Vindicators do the job extremely well, as do Railguns. The Vindicare Assassin also tends to pick their storm shields off one at a time if I don't kill it/them quick enough.

Basically, anything that causes Instant Death and denies an armor save. It's not all that common in my league (occasional Vindicator in Marine lists, and the local Blood Angels player tends to run Mephiston) but it makes me stop and think before I start running them up and down the board.

CONSTANTLY ask your opponent to verify anything and everything special in his army by showing you in his codex and or rule book

Field two Warpheads.

Declare every Waaagh! at the top of your lunges.

Reroll any results for your Warpheads that do not result in an additional Waaagh!

Play a "friendly game";

throw packing peanuts at their models and tell them you are calling in artillery.

Roll each dice (one at a time) on a cracked or bumpy surface. "Oops, landed in a crack."

BTW, What number are we on?

As you move your models do voices and have them have conversations as they move. Do this for every model - especially an Ork horde

Name every model in a horde and scream out their name in dispair when they die - "Mek Nobblenutz... NOOOOOO!!!!"

Every time you wound the enemy HQ choice or powerful character, get over excited, take some steps closer, and then do your happy dance in pre-mature celebration for its mile-stone wounds this battle

Whenever you lose a powerful character or HQ, remove him slowly, cross your arms, squint your eyes, and then for the rest of the match refuse to believe he died, just saying "no he still lived!" enough times will do the trick!

Spread ashes every time you use a template weapon

when you use a template, smack it onto the unit you're hitting (though this is more of a dick move rather than just annoying)

Field nothing but DKoK hades breaching drills and engineers.

field a horde army and only bring a handful of dice.

Make up a ridiculous rule, then when challenged, show the opponent your codex with the crudely drawn in line "grots are jump infrantry" or something.

Have someone eating anything with their mouth open, all the time

lol.

Successfully use Gift of Chaos on an Independent Character. +1 if it's a Special Character. +2 if it's a Grey Knight. +100 if it's Draigo.

This actually caused me to burst out laughing. Thank you for that.

350) Bring a giant ass rambo knife and every five minutes stab it into the table so that it stays in by itself claiming you saw a fly and you were trying to kill it. Make the fly always dangerously close to his models.

351) Use a Yatzee Shaker to roll your dice. announce 40k game rolls such as hits, and also announce where you are using your roll on your Yatzee score pad. Forexample, CSM firing bolters at an enemy roll three 4's and to 3's. declare 3 hits and your full house.

352) during the enemy movement phase, build walls in front of your troops with extra dice. claim the are out of LOS and argue until you settle on the 5+ cover save as written in the rules.

353) If a cheap laugh is beter than winning a casual game, drive all of your vehicles in reverse the whole game. And for extra fun have Just Married! painted on the back doors.

354) 2 Rhinos start on the farthest right side pf ypur deployment zone as possible, empty of course. do nothing with them other than race them around rthe table edges the entire game, letting them switch back and forth with a 1 inch lead. If your opponant catches on start comentating Kentucky Derby Style.

355) use a spare troop to walk next to the driver side of a vehicle the entire time it moves, claiming he is ghost riding his whip.

356) When playing against a Xeno army, predict where squads will move, and creat a trail of Reeses Pieces leading them along as an ET reference

357) For Dawn of War set up, insist the first turn be played with the lights off.

358) When you have clearly won the game and it is your turn six, make no movements, shoot nothing and decline to roll any hits in CC. casually tell your opponant you have taken a knee with the ball so the clock can run out.

359) During your turn that 1 or more deepstriking units make it on the board, play It's Raining Men for the duration of your turn.

360) Make all measurements with a heavy duty tapemeasure, ask your opponant to hold the other end, even to check for 1" away from enemy model checks

Ailaros wrote:5.) Neutralize your opponent's shiniest unit. You get 2x annoyance points when neutralizing = tar pitting.

This can be very annoying, I remember when I had my stealth suit glance my friends predator for the entire game, it was never able to do anything. In retrospect I should have given them a fusion blaster to kill the predator then move on but that wouldn't have been nearly as fun.

361) Insist on measuring out the 6" move of each of your models separately, bonus if it's an ork or tyranid horde.

Most opponents in tournaments will actually require you to do that. "I'll just measure the first row" is only applicable in friendly games.

362) Keep singing the "Orks, orks, orks, orks, orks!" song from the Dawn of War pc game whenever anything happens to your boyz.

Make sure your battlefield has a road which the enemy will drive vehicles down. set up masses of infantry on the road in the most disruptive place possible, preferably tightly packed. When your opponent tries to drive down, refuse to run from the inevitable death or glory, but refuses to strike any blows, claiming your men are pacifists. Bonus points for hordes or Tau, more if it is a land raider or bigger. Keep something with high LD in there to keep your horde from fleeing.

deep strike everything or out flank!!!
This works well against a shooting army, they have nothing to shoot at for at least 1 turn

in apocalypse yell THROW THE CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE whenever flyers or jump troops are used (use this against the eldar they usualy have LOADS of fliers and jump troops)

Don't bother to teach your child manners. Get them hyped up on mountain dew. Take them with you to the game, and tell them how awesome your opponents army is. In about 20 minutes get nasty with your opponent about how their army isn't wysiwyg, you know because your kid broke half their models.

367) Use rocks as proxis. Bonus points if they're painted. Double points if you stick wobbly eyes on them.

368) You write a battle report on the game, with the most minute detail possible, just to slow your opponent. Bonus if you also say " wait I have to get pics"
