Nah, they give em Psychotroke Brownies

Haha, what are the side effects of those brownies?

I'd get a Kroot model just to add the Broccoli Man to my army. I'd even pay points for him.

Even if you make him the same price as an entire squad (pack?) of kroot, you'll still get better results and fun from him...

On a rainy day at my FLGS, we came up with a rule for "planet-shifting":

At the beginning of every player turn, roll a scatter die and 1D6, EVERY model on the table moves that way (even if it cannont normally move). if a model hits difficult or dangerous terrain, take a dangerous terrain test. If it hits impassable terrain or a board edge, it takes a S10 hit (vehicles are hit on rear armour)

That's actually a legitimately awesome rule.
Not Broccoli Man, the Planet Shifting one.
I must try it sometime.

That does actually sound like a really interesting game rule.

Makes for some funny moments when you try to decide how to deal with models going off building edges

The way we played it was as an Initative test, if you passed, ur model moved as it normally would, if it fails, it falls, taking one wound per level it fell (i.e. if it fell 2 levels ,aka 6 inches, from a ruin, it took 2 wounds)

I had a friend who basically told us the following:
"I called GW and it turns out if you give them like $20 you can make your own Chaos Legion with its own special rules! I made it so I can take Terminators as troops!"
We played one game that way, said Terminators died, and it was never brought up again.

When I was little I made two carnifexes with three sets of sything talons (no legs, it walked on the talons) and had the charge tusks. It had something like 8 attacks on the charge and it had all of the GW employees wondering how terrifying it would be to see in real life.

In a campaign game with my buds we had a game where we were fighting on fenris during the time that all the land starts sinking into the sea, and so every turn 1d6+2 inches dissapears from aver board edge. Any model on the terrain that disappears is removed from play, unless it is only one inch away from solid terrain, then it can take an initiative test and if it passes it gets to move onto the board again. We made the rule to balance out a battle between a shooty razorspam longfang list and some cc nids. And i'll tell you, when you play that game and the dice start getting hot, like rolling 5-6 every time, it makes for an interesting game.

I have one house rule for games with my regular group:

Deployment type, roll 1D6
1-2= Pitched Battle
3-4= Spearhead
5-6= Roll Again.

Why not 1-3 Pitched and 4-6 Spearhead?

You won't get to roll the die as much.

We do the same thing. None of us like Dawn of War deployment.

You aren't supposed to. It's a balancing mechanic. Do you throw night fight into your other two deployments? Do you force shooty armies to move in your other deployments?

Didn't think so.

Being able to play and do well in all three deployment types is pretty important.

We try to be more subtle here.

**Rolls dice, its a 6**

"whats's a 6 for deployment I can't remember? I know 1-2 is pitched and 3-4 is spearhead, best to just roll again and not waste time looking it up."

Do you play with us? No? Didn't think so. Enjoying the game is important to our group and NONE of us like Dawn of War. We only get 1 game every week or two, so why spend 3 hours playing by some bs rules you don't like on the one day you get to play?

We don't use nightfight other than some of the battle missions. No we don't force shooty armies to move. We're not dicks.

Different strokes.

Guess it is on-topic though, being dreadful...

God forbid people play 40k to have fun, right?

Hmm best one that I always think what the at:

During the 2nd ed of 40k where guard could leave two models as a heavy weapon squad from any unit behind for "covering fire" and had a lot of cheap heavy weapons to offset the fact they got hit, they died.
Owner of the games store decided that he was sick of people firing heavy weapons at the dreadnought or warboss turn one. He then puts in place a house rule that heavy weapons were not allowed to be deployed above ground level, they had to spend a turn running up. After getting the imperial guard player to agree to it (tanks were allowed on anytime from turn 2 for guard, similar to todays reserves but automatic) the owner then deploys blood axe infiltrators with a multi melta (2" radius blast template those days from it) up top of a building with the reasoning:
"It is ok, it is an infiltrator".
Yep, total hypocrite. It was funny next game he played to watch 3 infiltrating CSM vets do likewise with heavy weapons. He then decided that wasn't fair to him either so tried there and then changing the rules once more.

This one...

Dude. You aren't supposed to have fun playing a game, man. Didn't you get that memo.

Love the replies!!!! Still laughing over some of them!!! Keep 'em coming! Also the moving planet is completely legendary!!!! Good to see that others have had similar experiences to me!!!

Now, I wouldnt say this was dreadful, but a really fun one. Squig Racing. The FLGS had a track layed out, 4 feet long for 5 players at a time. Each squid rider/hurder/unlucky gobbo, would roll 2d6 scatter and go. Midway down the board was an orc riding on a river raft, moving 1d6 inches across the bored, shooting down which ever lane he came across with a s5 shot. If two squigs came into contact with eachother, or any spectators, BOOM.

Wow. Did he not realize that 2nd edition had rules for what you could shoot at and if he just wanted them not shot, he could have done so.

When i first began the game i was told that a model had the amount of attacks that you could see on it. So in my infinite wisdom i bought the at the time assassin codex and got me an eversor assassin, counting his claws as 5 attacks his gun as 2 and his knives as 2 it was a little OP and i was called on it by someone who had been playing a long time.
