So I like 40k and all, I play with my friends at home with our collections and we make up scenarios like crazed asteroid miners vs a group of tyranid genestealers or zombified orks vs living breathing necrons and etc. But one of my friends has taken it to the next level and practically thinks that warhammer is going to happen. For example me and my friend are talking about the iron man movie then he comes along and keeps asking me about the BS of a stormtrooper or we're all in class and someone makes fun of him and he starts yelling that the emperor will come and kill them. He is getting on my nerves and causing me to get sick and tired over warhammer, So heres my question what should I do? Keep playing without him or with him and ignore him or play something else like horrorclix, battletech classic and stuff like that?

Keep playing with him, sure him asking about BS of stormtroopers while your talking about other stuff would be annoying, but just answer him and steer the conversation back to iron man.

Now the Emperor killling the people that make fun of him isn't going to make them stop (assuming hes not just trying to be funny, in which case he should make no mention of warhammer at all and instead look to chuck norris for all his smiting needs) So yeah, as long as he's not really annoying when your actually playing keep playing with him.

Thanks for the answer and hes not trying to be funny because My other friends who don't play warhammer was reading the 5th ed rulebook and started chanting the emperors dead and he gave a guy a black eye

...how old are you guys? I'm assuming you're at least middle school age, but regardless he sounds like a freaking headcase. He really needs to go to a doctor if he thinks this stuff is real.

Punch him in the nose.

Repeat as necessary?

No just once.

A gentle chat-session would work too. Or I could just slap him. Whichever way you prefer.

if you are over 15, punch him
if you are under 15, ignore him

works for me

Had a friend like this in school, only he was having a complete psychotic break - brought on by over-use of the doobie.

Haven't seen him since he got carted off for treatment (we moved away to a different town shortly after ).

You'll make new friends. I did, and I don't make friends quickly or easily.

From someone who has been known to make jokes like those (especially about D&D):

Talk with him. Odds are, he thinks that he's being funny when he's not; let him know - gently - that he's not being funny. He probably just makes reference to real life in regards to 40K rules, and if someone laughs at them it only heaps more fuel on the fire.

Or tell him that 40K jokes are funny within the context of Warhammer time, but when you're in school or you're outside of the FLGS, comparing real life to 40K lacks as much humor as he might think it does.

Or, you know, you could recognize that y'all might be younger. Maturity is part of the aging process.

Here's what I think you need to do:
1. Buy 20 pots of "Shining Gold"
2. Dump them all over yourself
3. Go up to your friend and tell him that heretics are all around him.
4. Give him a gun. And a kitchen knife with batteries taped to it.
5. ???
6. Profit!

well thanks for the answers and I think I'll use the last one. I'm currnently finishing off year 9 and it's exam time and we are all studing except him and does twice the annoyance now with questions like why does gamesworkshop not hire me so I can write the background properly. He also bit me for putting a eldar symbol on my cadians that count as mercenaries, but other then that I've been talking to him and he's slowly adjusting to the real world after I slaped him and told him it's not real
