" Your army is pittifull, and there is no way that your 3 trygon pimes and 16 genstealers+Broodlord will be able to destroy my Chimera,Basalisk,Leman Russ, And Demolisher!"........1 turn later and some awsome dice roles........All gone but the Demolisher and it was destroyed. The rest....Blew up!

I laughed so hard after that game........He does not want to play a game for a while now though....LOL

"Gosh, Eldar are SOOOooo cheasy...Who cares that you are not using Eldrad or holofield falcons, everything else is bad enough. Everyone knows that wraithguard are easymode Eldar.." Really? Sigh...

One turn of very lucky DL shootery later one russ is left, and it's immobile and turretless..

Guy stomps off, whining about DL cheese meaning his tanks have no chance, while i glance at my AV 10 skiffs that could die to anuthing above a thrown snowball.... and smile...

What's funny is that he doesn't know his own rules. LRBT are AV14

while true it wouldn't make much difference due to the lance rule.

40 Year old men that act in this manner are common to our hobby it seems.

"Necrons are broken."

- Grown man playing Grey Knight Draigowing, several seconds before ragequit, prior to 5th ed necron codex release.

Everytime someone walks past during turn 1 (or just after set up) or similar and says something along the lines of "Looks like you're losing" or similar I die a little inside.

It happens rather regularly but so far every time this has happened I've won the match in question.

Locclo wrote: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.

meanwhile I'll claim a pain token for every ork boy

While playing with my 'nids in my local GW, one of the regulars walks past just as my opponent, who went first, finishes his turn.

Now, my 'nid army contains things like:30 Ymgarl genestealers (3x10 which hide in terrain) Trygon Prime (tunnels in) (Outflanking hormagaunts) and a unit of Warriors with a Prime in who are in reserve as well. On the board is my Hive Tyrant and my Tyrannofex.

The regular walks past as i do a little bit of shuffling, some shooting and pass the turn back.

His witty remark: "Wow, looks like those foot guard gave you a good kicking."

So close to sticking a scything talon though each of his eyes as he proceded to stand behind me for three and a half hours (well beyond the game end) and at every oppurtunity tell me how to stop that happening again. The only time he wouldn't talk to me was when I was outside smoking.

The best bit was, he maintained that I had still lost, even when I began rolling for reserves and it all came on. Hive Cmmander is really useful.



Oh yeah. Once got told at a friendly tournament that Hive Commander is really overpointed and not very good. One hour later, his stance on it "That is so overpowered and underpriced."

Based on the attitude most gamers take towards girls in a FLGS or GWS (ESPECIALLY GWS), he probably wanted the glory among his friends for bringing a member of the opposite sex into the game. Something like an ego boost and hitting her up rolled into one. Experiment, I apologize on behalf of all male gamers with half a brain stem or more.

Although he's still an idiot.

Had a guy assure me that my Dark Eldar wouldn't be able to torture or break one of his marines (Iron Hands or something?) because he was basically all bionics bar his brain.

Constantly ignoring where I pointed out that the DE have spent the last several thousand years perfecting the art of torture and can even make a Necron squeel for its mummy, so some marine while he might be able to hold out, would be broken eventually.

'But he doesn't have nerve endings, it's all bionics'

So I explain they'd either hook directly into that brain, or program nerve endings / pain into the machinery.

'But you can't do that.'

I'll concede a lot of things, but the ability of a Dark Eldar Haemonculi (especially the old ones that my coven is meant to hold) to make things squeel isn't one of them.

I can see why the lack of Lash or Plague, but Oblis are helf of the soul of chaos, cmon, termies with everchanging heavy weapons... o.O

I never got a phrase like that anyway...

I sport 2 out of 3.

Always got my obliterators and plague marines.

on the other hand, there are many who do it to get attention.

And you didn't seduce him for some free models after that great flirting from him? The shame of you. *shakes head*

Suppose girls who game are oddities to the majority, and if they are anyway decent looking most gamers find them an instant my god a girl who plays the same game as me I must have *flirts wildly and arkwardly*.

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.

You have some bad luck with people during tournaments don't you man?

All my tournament horror stories are based off of 2 local guys. It is terrible and I always seem to play one of them every tournament

Any time I play a new opponent with my Daemons: "Where is Fateweaver?" and "Daemons can shoot?"

You: Sounds good to me. (acts like a newbie) so what's with all these plastic toys *ahem* and, can my free model be finecast?

ThatEdGuy wrote:Any time I play a new opponent with my Daemons: "Daemons can shoot?"

Isn't that technically a legitimate question? Codex: demons aren't really known for their dakka. There are only 4 units I think that can actually fire in the shooting phase :

Soulgrinder
Horrors
Flamers
Lord of change

Every Greater Daemon and Daemon Prince have access to shooting attacks. There's also the Blue Scribes and Heralds of Tzeentch (our best shooting IMO). I'm not going to count the Herald of Khorne's shooting attack as it is a complete waste.

Bit of a preamble to go with the comment I recieved. I am friends with the person who said this, and he also plays GK as one of his armies which made his comment hurt my brain even more.

"Interceptors don't move 12" just because they are Jump Infantry"

Wait, what? That does not even make any sense. In the BRB it states that JI can move 12"

The reason he thought this was because when reading the Interceptor entry he thought the teleport pack (I forget the actual name) only gave the Teleport Shunt ability. Also he was playing his BA and thought that Jump Packs gave the 12" move and when removed reduced the units movement to 6" (removed for a discount on a transport). He didn't realise removing the Jump Packs made the unit count as Infantry instead of JI. It was swiftly corrected and he understood where he was wrong, but it hurt my brain all the same.

I was told my Fiends don't get Fleet just for being Beasts...

My friend had tau and I had space wolves. Turn 1:
Friend: pfft your scouts will come on near my kroot and get mashed
Me: if i roll high enough i come on wherever i want
Friend: 0.0
Me: oh look my scouts w/meltagun just came on behind your hammerhead
Friend: ffffuuuuu...
I then proceded to blow up the hammerhead and then a skyray in the next turn.
Then i got my ass handed to me by his allied daemons (played by another friend)

I think I'd like to sig that, if you don't mind!!

One that's started to bug me recently is when I ask a question about a codex, or ask what slot a unit fills, and they go, "You haven't read the codex?"

For some weird reason, no, no I do not read codices that I don't play. I know the basic idea of what goes on in each codex (Blood Angels are assaulty, and I know what most of their special rules and such are, etc. etc.) but I don't pore over every minute detail of every codex. Hell, I barely do that for my own. It's just getting on my nerves that it's assumed that everyone knows every single detail about every single codex.

Actually, on the topic of armies, specifically, I've gotten more than a few comments on the color of my Space Wolves army. I painted it with Vallejo colors, I forget which two, but it was basically a mixture of a bright blue and a dark blue. For a long while I got a lot of questions as to why my army is blue, and not gray. I don't know about any of you, but to me, the so-called "grey" color in the codex looks like a light shade of blue.

When I played a game with my Ogre Kingdoms army, I had one bull left in some unit and this guy walks up to me and says ''Nice Irongut''. So I say ''No, that's a bull...'' (It's clearly a bull, it doesn't have any heavy weaponry what so ever).
''No that's an Irongut.''
''NO, that's a bull

He looks at me and walks away. No kidding here.
