THEY'RE MINIATURES DAMNIT!!!1!

But... they are toys... and we do play with them. They're more involved, more expensive toys, but toys none-the-less.

Get that all the time. $500 necklace? Won't bat an eye. $50 landraider? Goes nuts.

HI all.
As a wargamer with over 20 years of enjoyment of this wide and diverse hobby.

I HATE it when people belive that ALL wargamers ONLY play GW games!

Some gamers drink GW cool aide and think that the GW hobby (tm) is all their is to wargaming.

The 'GW hobby'(tm) is a tiny fraction of the wargames hobby.
They have just 3 core games, compared to over 2000 game systems curently availabe.

Some wargames dont even have minatures... ,

Happy gaming ,
Lanrak.

Hate to break it to you but they're toys. Small expensive ones, but toys.

Howard A Treesong wrote:Ironically I find it annoying when people mistake Warhammer for being particularly original, there's usually at least one post a month criticising D&D for stealing ideas off Games Workshop.

Warhammer is generic fantasy, almost painfully generic. 40k is painfully generic sci-fi. Admittedly they covered it skulls and painted it black but it's still generic.

Hate hearing?

Well,"tactical advice" from bystander during game.

For new player its OK,and I'll do advice.
But,I really hate hearing bystander advice me or opponent.

After the game its OK and really welcome. I love talk about tactics.
But not during game. Its not fair.

may be little bit offtopic?


Ok,so.....I'm Codex : Dark Angel player(model and background is fallen angels tho).
And I hate to be said "DA codex sucks. You better use xxx marine codex"
I really hate it. I know DA codex is bad. But its fun to play.

erm try "borrowing" anything with the GW trademark on it

I hate it when wargamers say this:

I know some guys like this! And pretty much any repeated phrase that wasn't funny the first time gets on my nerves. I know a guy who says "he loves it" whenever you make an armor save. He quasi-narrates the game which is fine ("And my shot hits, and... looks like it wounds aaaand..."), but that one phrase. I know I periodically annoy my opponent's by saying really exaggerated things or flat out making up rules in a joking way ("I use "Glimmering Aura of Chaos" to prevent your psychic powers and shooting for the turn.") but to be fair I only do that when they're boring me to tears in the first place.

Takes you back to your times in the young offenders institution hmm?

'I'm the Daddy now!!'

Going about starcraft, wasn't it a game being worked on by both gw and blizzard then for some reason blizzard quit out and kept the game?

Straying away from the Blizzard Wars

I find it heart breaking when a new gamer, managed to acquire an Apocalypse Sized force is a few months, all not painted or badly painted
play a total of 4 to 10 games with their new toys and forget about the hobby all together, in under a year, never again returning to the hobby.

Its also sad to hear when a Friendly local gaming store shuts down due to lack of buyers yet
the local gamesworkshop a few blocks away is doing better then ever. Brings a tear to the eyes

I find it annoying whenever theres a leaked image of an amazing new sculpt, such as the sanguinian guard,
and people instantly start making comments about how GW will purposefuly make them really expensive, or really low points values so they can make more money

Cheesepie, I'm going to have to agree with the general sentiment.

When reading posts about Warhammer, I hate reading ungrammatical posts. A
mispelling or mistype I can understand, but a general lack of care for communicating your
idea is aggravating.

What I hate hearing? "Well, the fire damage wasn't _too_ extensive, but you know the melting point of plastic and resin..."

That's why you team them together, get her shiny things to distract her from the toy tanks

I've tried that a few times, with things like a nice dinner, but she caught on pretty quick....

"That'll be (insert amount) Pounds please, would you like a bag?" and the following knowledge that I'll be living off glue fumes and super noodles till next pay day.

You could try my tactic....
Just explain that you could have spent the money on Losing lottery tickets, beer, or other less acceptable entertainments, and that the time you spend prepping and painting the models at least keeps you at home and our of less than savory bars and such....

"This is my spending money. I do with it what I want, be it video games, shiney hubcaps for my car, or paperbacks."

What I hate to hear?
"Painters who regard themselves as better hobbiests than people who don't paint are elitest snobs"
Garunteed to end in a fight.

Or,

"I don't want to play you. I like winning to much"

Or maybe even,

"Yeah, I was kind of drunk when I glued the Biomorphs on."

I hate to hear people telling me how to paint my army and what to field . Its my army,why should you care if I lose or my army turns out badly painted

O_o


Also, i cnat stand it when people complain about someone stole an idea from someone else, GW pretty much based thier ideas on something else, Like gene stealers and aliens (xenomorphs).
I can go on about all the things i hear from people about 'X stole from Y' forever, but seriously you should ignore these people, stupidity cannot be cured.

That what i had to hear,and not only as a wargamer either.

Well you see, I was wargaming in prison, and

LMAO

also, I hate GW conspiracy/performance review/not-as-good-as-they-used-to-be posts. Not because they criticize GW, but because they get more responses than posts that are a pleasure to read.

i'm so absolutely shocked that a mod made the above post.

wait. no i'm not.

I hate hearing power gamers calling casuals "noobs" behind their back all the time.

But its funny to see them shut up when I field my 12 Squat bikes (10 bikes/trikes and 2 heavy trikes.) and 2 'beachball' armored command units.
Then I just look at them and ask which noob wants to play.


Of course, I HATE being told that my models are not "Valid" because of what they are.

I hate hearing the gaming store little kids make sound effects, and play with the miniatures as if they were action figures. Makes me grind my teeth in frustration and brings my anger to such a boil that I could make instant noodles.

I hate hearing those little kids down by the flgs talking about things like yu gi yo, when I'm trying to paint or play a game. (just one of the problems of having a all around hobby store)
Or when their blasting their mainstream music in the store.

ILL SLAY YOU JUSTIN BEAVER! one day....

The scary part is , its not only the 5 year old that makes sound effects.
But 20 , 30 ,40 year olds as well
