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:

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.

Wait a minute. You got a gaming place in Auburn? All I remember of the place is the chicken fried steak with gravy, the freaking snow, the quaint little antique shops and the various grannies swinging their purses in a violent manner!

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.

Then the new dex will drop, and i'll have to buy MORE stuff to paint

"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.

"Whoa, weird dark angels army man, real good job there"

They. Are. Nurgle. CSM. WITH DAEMONS. AND POSSESSED. AND SPAWN.

My friend: Orks are OK but you need to use looted wagons with them.

In all fairness, Dark Angels are CSM. But, no, they don't have any spawn in their book.

Nothing.

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.

Really? I'd file both of those comments as "pure win". Of course, I also hate BA...

"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."
"Why does your sentinels have heavy bolters and twin las-cannons?"
"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

Wait, I don't get the last one. Do you game in a kilt or something?

And why do your sentinals have heavy bolters and twin lascannons? Last I checked, those werent options for either flavor...

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!
