DaggerMaw Wins

Anything by Captain Solon.

Back when a friend and I were starting out 40k and didn't understand the rules of Instant Death.

Wazdakka's strength 8 gun can only kill Marines flat out without a save, but Firewarriors could take it like a man for not having the gun being equal to double their toughness (6).

It's actually an official rule, ''If you are playing necrons you automatically are pronounced the winner''. See the necron codex, page 95, section 5, paragraph 3.

@ Daggermaw - this guy wasn't called Gwar by any chance was he?

Who?

We sometimes tank shock/Ram with any vehicle with an armor value. So I can tell ya, cheap landspeeders become suicide killers for sure. If you can pop off a 24 inch ram with one, it just smashes stuff, and usually explodes

My local gaming group has a modified version of the AOBR rulebook (modified with sharpee) that clearly states in the rules that one of our players simple "Loses" (it also has in the appendix why he loses, but I don't think it would be nice to post it here on Dakka as it is rather offensive, I will say however, it has alot to do with his use of 'Eldrad')

I had one game where all my tanks suddenly suffered 'Wrecked' rolls instantly, since Creed had deemed it time to unleash the many Ogryns and Rough Riders hidden inside the weapon systems and in the over-head compartments of the tanks.


Half of me wanted to laugh, the other half was too busy making sure I aimed the head-butt well.

In our blood bowl league were allowing player trades. So my ogre team can have a wood elf player pretty cool.

We once had a unit of "super grotz" who once per game could shoot a str10 ap1 shot (which wrecked an LRBT!) but after firing, they all suffered an ID hit which disallowed their lucky lucky save; a lucky lucky save was a 2+ invun.

IG are allowed to template their own units. It's fun watching a guardsman flame a squad of marines and catch a friendly in it; who makes his save...

"Hey, templates can't touch friendly models..."

"But, they're guard?"

Nothing wrong with a bit a friendly fire here and there!

Last week at our games night meeting one of the guys who was rolling for terrain for their WHFB game misspelled "Charnel Pit". Much hilarity ensued as we came up with rules for a "Carnal Pit", which I won't repeat here for fear of being banned, but Slaanesh would've been proud.

Who the feth is captain Solon?

Yeah, seriously, who is he?

If you look in the Proposed RUles forum, you'll notice half the threads there are started by Captain Solon. His ideas have a trend towards being kinda poorly thought out and ill-balanced, mainly because he just throws out whatever pops into his mind at any time without really thinking it through. I do believe he's also given himself the job of spamming up the Proposed Rules thread.

He's kinda like a dakka inside joke. Kinda like G-baby.

Note, I am not saying that Captain Solon is anywhere near as bad as G, but only saying that the use of their name as a joke is similar.

No one can be as bad a G-baby (I hope not, for all our sakes)

I just read 3 of solon's threads.
His keyboard must be wired to his brain after taking some hard core drugs.
Quoted' "Klakekotoken lasgun This light producing lasgun shoots beams so bright, so superheated that it is capapble of knocking back a space marine, and even capapble of piercing tank shell.
Additionally, this light is so bright that it counts as a flashligh- I mean Searchlight"
So, all your guardsmen get SEARCHLIGHTS? WHAT THE F

I hope it isnt captives because what ever the feth they hit with that flashlight will die. Infact, the exact opposite of the IG flash light.
Where the hells the consistency?
Can pierce tank armour, but only knock back a SM?
Also, super heated light? Really, has he misunderstood how the sun works?

Also, tons of people easily nit-pick his stuff from that thread I copied it from, for example: he keeps talking about some latern-bearer who has this super bright light.
Someone says, "So if it's that bright of a lantern, then wouldn't the Guardsmen all be blinded and die?"
I lol'd wicked hard.

Well eventually he will come up with a good one. The rules of chance dictate it.

Unless he already did, and everyone all forgot it

Movie marines... seriously, as if the basterds arent already broken...

AF: Oh, c'mon. The Movie Marines were a funny joke idea. I lol'd when I saw their rule set.... Was it unfairly, ridiculously broken? Hell yes. Was it fun to laugh at? Yep.

But yeah, I take it back, for the sake of the sanity of the entire forum, I sincerely hope he never sinks down to G's level. But you're right....that and that whole new veteran Guardsman page made me think he had this....thing for the letter k. Seriously, how many times did he USE the letter k in that post!? (Please...no one actually count)

The strangest custom rule ive ever heard of was (back in 3rd ed) that hormagaunts could move AND charge a total of 36" in a turn because there was some wording in their rules that "when they charge they move" so they went 12" move, then charged 24" (they charged 12" and then also moved 12").
I was told this at a party and while i was laughing my tyranid mate was taking it all on board

oh and the Eldar player who had the war walker special rule on his falcons. When i asked to see the rule he claimed that they had it in 2nd edition and he forgot. he was good at that

They were never funny, nor were they a joke.

They were introduced at a time when other Codexes were raeping the SM players... especially Tau.

We play the duck rule in some scenarios, if you want to shoot through any of your own units (vehicles exepted though skimmers can go high instaed of duck) you can but that unit then cant move next time, as they are getting themselves back in position. Also known as the get out of the way rule.
