I hate being told that a certain unit is a "must" for an army or that certain units are "broken". I love my stormies and armoured Sentinels and, while I use a few for mobility, I refuse to jump on the Chimera Spamwagon.

DUST WOMAN DUST ON MY BLOODY MODELS THATS WHY.

Well she is saving you money on FW weathering powders... be happy!

Though yes dusts are so awful , ESPECIALLY on minis primed awaiting to be painted.
Very often you see dust sticking out of paints when a model is done lol...

I have been looking at this: Not sure how many minis it can hold but i like it.


I've been looking at that for a while now, I rekon it would look good filled to the brim with my models!

No more dust

One cheesey and annoying tactic trumps another. The solution seems obvious.

"If you really want to know what it was like, to fight in the air in the great War, then go up to someone you have never met and who has never done you the slightest harm and pour a two-gallon tin of petrol over them. Then apply a match, and when they are nicely ablaze, push them from a fifteenth-floor window after first perhaps shooting them a few times in the back with a revolver. And be aware as you are doing these things that ten seconds later someone else will quite probably do them to you. This will exactly reproduce... the substance of First World War aerial combat and will cost your country nothing. It will also avoid the necessity of ten million other people to die in order for you to enjoy it."

Personally hate people assuming my wife is there just to look after the kid or hold the wallet.... She has more figures, years of experience and painting skill then you could comprehend you cretin...

Do hate people moving scenery during a game...

I have a glass cabinet like this on a few posts above , it is really good it will fit around a battleforce per shelf. The only thing i would advise though it make sure that it is stable for when i open the door on mine sometimes without any pressure it seems to want to tilt a little towards me.

I hate people picking up my models, generally it doesn't happen much as we seem to have a fairly mature bunch of youngsters in the store, there's just a couple of the Sunday-morning-kids that needs locking up in the Snotling Cages in the Squig Cave... ohh er I mean stock room.

I always make a point of asking before taking a look at a model, it's just courteous and you never know if it's just been glued etc.


I'm really surprised no on has measured this yet: over-measuring. It happens alot but the best example: his scouts are 2" from a 2-storey building and roll a 5 for difficult terrain, so they can all reach the first storey. The player then goes on to move them a further 6" for thier "move".

I let it slide as the only thing in range was PM's in a Rhino but there's a couple of gamers at the store who always move that extra 1/2".

Ohh and tricksy infiltrators fething up my nice gunline, why can't they slog it out like the rest of us :p

Biggest annoyance?
"Why don't you paint your army?"
"You should totally paint your army."
"Y'know, you have the time, maybe you should paint your army..."
( I deserve it though, I've been putting it off for a while)

In seriousness, I hate it when people laugh at rules foul-ups. The main offender is one person who finds it hilarious when somebody screws up even a minor rule (And gets pissy when he's the one who's wrong). Doubly annoying if the person doing it doesn't even play the game.

I also hate it when people call me a nerd for liking them. I have three mates who do it as well, and one that was laughing and calling us nerds. I punched him in the face while yelling 'For the Emperor!'

We're stil buddies though, so it's all cool

But thats within the rules, perfectly fine, if a little 'damn your special rules' kind of annoying, its people who knock buildings, or move walls, or what ever just cause they are being extra ham fisted, then just chuck them back down rather then trying to get them back in the same place... Uge!

Whats worse is someone else takes it for a different game.

"But I need it"

"We were using it already"

"but I need it"

"We need it too"

"but I need it"

"I had 37 Necron Warriors standing in that building"

I recently staretd Dark Angels and was playing against our IG Elysian when he asked what invuln my SSs confered. I replied with "4++ 'cuz we's old :c ". He wasn't satisfied and decided to read the entry... turns out they only work in close combat. But what he said after is what bothered me: he said "See? That's why we read our codexes" (yes "codexes") in a very condescending voice. I almost responded with "strange words coming from a guy using an imperial armour army with no book." (just using paper he printed) but I'm not that kind of person I guess.

you are not stepping on any minis anymore.at least not with that foot ^^

i really hate it when people touch my minis or take my codex without asking(without asking only reffers to the codex,nobody is touching my minis.not even chuck norris) and treat it like a 80 cents daily newspaper.
i made a guy pay me a new codex because after he held it in his hands for about 5 seconds i could almost close it the other way.

What I hate hearing is the following things.
- So you spent x amount of cash on plastic action figures? How old are you six years old?

- Oh was that your dice
- People who uses my paint without asking... And leaves breadcrumbs in my sand/grass boxes.
