If he had another squad of astartes in his box, you can easily just ask him, "hey, want to do a larger point match, so you can use both those astartes squads, and I can use some more stuff?"

Or, don't associate with him, there are a few people at my LGS I just plain old don't associate with.

-It would be unfair on the guy he was playing since the other player didn't have anymore guys to make a larger point force.

-We don't associate with him anymore, we invited him to play a game with us when he was new, but he never learned the rules properly so even when we kindly corrected him (and showed him pages from the rulebook), he still wanted to play the way he thought he knew the rules.

To be fair, it would have been up to the guy he was about to play to point out he had only one troops choice. blood reaper did not have to intervene.

He was all "They are SPESS MARINES! So they auto get a 2+/2+ save."
He walked away when mass lasguns killed them all.

What's the minimal number you can have in a Standard Tactical Squad 5 guys, I believe? I am assuming that he had a full squad so he could have just as easily split the squad up into 2 and have the standard FoC requirements, correct?

Now, I'm only assuming from what I've heard thus far.

For me:

"We live in Az, and your army looks like a suspicious alien force. Per SB 1070 I'd like to see the proper documentation for them.

If not- you should also be aware that thanks to 1070- a statewide law making it legal to carry a concealed weapon without the need for a permit has passed totally unopposed and my shotgun fits inside my army transport bag. Legally."

Kinda, if we get technical, a tac squad is made of 10 men, and you can split them into two 5 men combat squad before the game starts. That way you can get the 2 mandatory troops choices if you play with vanilla marines.

No you can't. They're still just one FoC slot.

You need two troops CHOICES, not two troops units.

He had a heavy weapon and a special weapon in his 10 man squad and unless you use Codex: BT then you need to have a 10 man squad in order to incorparate both weapons.

But still, he could have used his spare bolter armed marines from his other 10 marines to make two legal 5 man squads.
