DE are really obscure. Daemons are a current army so I don't see people playing them getting away with lots of shennagins.

Every time I see the word "shenanigans" it makes me think of the movie "Super Troopers."

I love that word. Shenanigans. Shenanigans. Wee shenanigans! I'm going to pistol whip the next person who says shenanigans!

"Hey Farva? What's that restaurant you like?"

"Oh, you mean Shenanigans?"

As you're an Ork/Tau/DE player....

It's shenanigans that Orks are statistically better shooters than the other two armies...

On topic...

Just learn your opponent!! Ask me DE questions, I'll answer.

That's what I always say, and it seems like a simple answer but they don't want you to think that they distrust you. In tourneys, you're liable to get a trashed sportsmanship score for making your opponent prove that he has all the abilities that he says he has. It's less effort to just trust your opponent.

I've faced off against a TFG who musta looked into the future and saw this thread. At a tournament he made me show him my codex and FAQ printout a dozen times. I'd never played this guy before, yet he assumed I was cheating with EVERY special rule... (Wych 4+ inv in hth, Wych weapons neutering his hth units, Wych drugs, The Agonizer rules, Night Shield rules, Dark Lance rules, my transports getting to move 24", transports only being subject to glancing hits at that speed, The list goes on) He would spend forever reading it too, so he could come up with some ridiculous interpretations that would render the rules completely useless. That game took forever, was really irritating, and I won anyway, which he also had a tantrum about because he was a BT player and thought that nobody should be better in hth than his SMs. He managed to complain about everything I did. My guess is he thought he'd have an easy win vs. DE. When he didn't, it probably made him feel like less of a man.
Kinda naive of him to think this was my first rodeo against SMs...

Games like that just leave a bad taste in your mouth.

ON TOPIC!
Necrons and DE. I've caught both doing some shady stuff. Odd that the DE players tried pulling that on me. Did they think I wouldn't wonder why MY DE can't do that? Knuckleheads...

Definately Dark Eldar, though not necessarily because of cheating, just because their rules sometimes don't update properly. Can Slave Nets be drug over a unit in close combat? No? Why not? It doesn't say anything about targeting. So...many...goofy things. That it'd be easy to find work arounds for RAW in the DE codex

SOB, DE, and Grey Knights, they all have just some really bizzar and abstract wargear that changes things considerablly, 2+ invul saves, the eversor can always fire his pistol twice. That kinda thing
