I win because I controlled 2 objectives with my last 2 vet squads and a company command squad.

I was playing against a chaos marine guyin a 1500pt game-he was new to chaos, so I thought "What the hey-should be fun, and as a chaos player myself I might be able to give him some help". However, I decided to use my Howling Griffons, and my newly converted plastic Epistolary Librarian, so it doesn't just turn into Thousand sons ap 3 slaughterhouse.

From the moment the game started I knew it would end badly-the exact nature, of it though I couldn't have forseen. He had the most annoying voice, and constantly bragged about how his Lord with a demon weapon, Sorceror with bolt of change and 10 heavily upgraded Terminator champions (Yes, I laughed too-and died a little inside) would totally annihlate my little 'girly' marines. However, his attempt to telerport his Terminators containing the sorceror right next to my one remaining scout I had on the objective failed, with them all being destroyed. He looked pissed off, but I didn't honestly think he was going to kick off. So, I charged my Libby into his lord-fair enough, you probably think. Wait for it (I know this is long winded, but I just want to be as clear on the events as possible-I don't quite believe it myself yet). In the assault phase, I strike first (Under the effect of the Quickening Power) and wound the lord. Then, passing my force weapon check, killed it in one before it struck back.

For a moment, the guy just sat there, mouth open. I asked if he wanted to redo the combat, and this time I wouldn't use the quickening (it did seem a kind of cheep move in my eyes.) Then, with a wail that would have put a banshee to shame, he grabbed his clippers from the table and came at me. I think he was going for my throat, but I moved quickley-it just caught my face, and drew a bit of blood. While I was dazed, he picked up my libby, clipped off his force weapon blade-and ate it. Yes, that's right, he actually ATE my force weapon. He then proceeded to clip more bits off, before smashing him into the ground and grinding it into the ground, before jumping back and asking "How's Booky Dweebish (His name for my Librarian) gonna kill my marines NOW?", and started laughing.

The store had just completely stopped now-all eyes on me. I bent down and picked up the battererd remains of my Librarian. Yes, a tear or two were shed-But I had put at least 15 man hours into PLANNING this guy out, he was to be my masterpiece. I then looked up at my opponent. He had stopped laughing by now.

I don't know exactly what happened next, but people standing nearby said to me after that they could see the Mark of Khorne light up in my eyes, and that I have never moved so fast. In the end, I think it was Paul-Resident Blackshirt and a credit to managers everywhere.-who stopped me from going after that guy and killing him. Afterwords, after closing and well into Pauls own time,he sat with me and helped me to rebuild my Librarian-although I asked to keep his backpack slightly broken as a reminder. I then walked out of the store with 2 nice free boxes of the new Stormvermin-so today wasn't a total loss .

I just got back from the docters a while ago-he said the bleeding should stop soon, but I may have a scar there for the rest of my days. I know some people will say I overeacted, and I apologise-but that Librarian was important to me (and I wonder why I have no Girlfreind ). I know that some people will also complain that I've wrote too much-again I apologise, but as I said earlier, I'm still not sure I belive this myself yet.

Take care

Good lord the amount of rules you two got wrong is absolutely astonishing. It makes my head hurt.

Briefly

- at least half his drop pods must come down in the first turn, the rest are in reserve. That's the drop pod assault rule and he can't change that.
- lone wolves can't get drop pods unless they stole them from another unit such as a long fang pack which therefore must have been on the board or entered as a normal reserve
-unless grimnar is with them long fangs can't fire on the turn they land
-jaws of the world wolf is an initiative test not a leadership tests
- if the long fangs are dead what is this "devastator squad" you speak of. Long Fangs are Space Wolf Devastators


He is a cheat or a relative newb to the game who needs coaching in addition to a horrible sport.

Oh, I know. I just didn't want to get in a rules debate before my figs were even on the table.

As I commented way back, the only damage I've seen personally is through a member of the public handling stuff in ignorance, not through a deliberate attempt to damage. What's most frightening, is that's isn't not just immature kids as many would probably assume, but grown adults. I've honestly never come across this sort of thing in scale modelling, though I've met a few oddballs at SF conventions. But none would show deliberate malice towards a fellow enthusiast.

Fifty wrote:I play the Cyanide Online Blood Bowl in UKBBL. In about my third game of the season, I played a guy who was using dwarves. I had been a VERY last minute addition, so I had super-rushed my team-buying and accidentally missed buying any re-rolls.

For that reason, I played ultraconservatively. I played a layered defense, rolling back in front of the slowing moving dwarves. I probably rolled about 6 dice in my first half and about double that in the second half. Even those dice I rolled were, without exception, stacked in my favour. On the last turn I failed a 3+ catch roll to win 3-0, and had to settle for 2-0.

The guy was making snotty comments on the forums for quite a while afterwards about how I was the flukiest guy ever. Hardly compares to other stories here though.

Good news is, every other guy there has been a real good sport.

One guy and I had been having a really close game. He had managed to get the win sewn up one or two turns before the end. I fouled one of his players, badly hurting him as the very last thing I did. He was quite angry, saying it was bad sportsmanship. I explained I only did it to get more Star Player Points. When he told me you don't get SPPs for injuries from fouls I felt really bad. I apologised to him then, and again in the foyer afterwards, then again in public on the forums and again by PM. I think he accepted it was an innocent mistake and luckily I did not give his player a long-term injury, but I still felt bad.

So its "fun" for you to shoot up your opponent, but as soon as your opponent starts to get back in the game or the upper hand, you quit.

Thats your defination of fun? Remind me never to play you.
