This was... terrible.

How could you possibly screw up so many simple rules? I understand that you didn't have your codex with you, but haven't you read it before?

And, spray painting a model so that it blends into terrain and your opponent forgets about it is incredibly shady. Soldarin, you should be ashamed for pulling that stunt.

Bean burritos! Dammit now that would of made great drop pods, best of all we could ate them as we got hungry. And what are you guys talking about rules mix ups? We even skyped GWAR to be sure.

You have a good point there, I really never thought of it that way.

I was a bit conflicted after Soo posted so i slept on it and re-read that battle report and i have to agree with him.

I dunno what Grakmar and Soo'vah'Cha are raging about.


It's clearly states on page 47 of the Ork Codex that all ork boyz have the WBB special Rule.

Everyone knows that air fresheners can only be proxied for Tau units (because their gak doesn't stink) and that all models within 6" of White Glue proxies count as moving in difficult terrain (but not dangerous due to its edible, non-toxic nature). Ork players have no imagination!

I thought the Big Red Book stated on page 79, subsection "Proxies", fourth paragraph down, sixth line in, that Air Fresheners can be proxied for Orks once in a Blue Moon on Tuesday!
It's right there, CLEARLY in the rules.....

That was the greatest battle report evar.

I didn't know what was going on, or what was what, but by the emperor that was awesome.

I think people are overreacting slightly. It's only a couple of proxies and a few minor rules mix-ups. Orks don't have WBB, they have FNP- it clearly states that in the ork 'dex:
"Orks can withstand blows that even the legendary astartes can't- all orks have FNP (apart from gretchin, they're far too weedy)

Great report and I bet it was a fun game

Well done - but may I propose some red colour on the Glue Proxies, so the Glue can spread faster and increase the use of difficult terrain

Killa Kans can use the RPJ rule?

Of course they can.

They're vehicles, aren't they?

Actually, they're monstrous creatures, so no, but at least they explode when they die.

Deffdreads, I meant deffdreads

Ah, they're tanks.

This. 1000x this.

I've seen much worse proxying at GW tournaments, to be completely honest. I don't see anything wrong here. Most of the truely bad proxies are Space Wolf players, after all.

The only complaint I have is that you shouldn't use the same colored dice for models as you roll for your to-hits and wounds as you might get them mixed up.

actually, looking back at it, I think he rolled into his orks and added a few extra- I count 2 extra orks.

That's not how I read it.

Are you calling him a cheater!?!?!

Not at all, he must have just missed a couple of dice. It's an easy mistake to make.

I didn't see any mistake.

Oh, snap. KC, this dude's calling you out!

The people that are raging...you are joking, right? Clearly these guys were just messing around and having fun! What's harmful about that? It didn't affect you in anyway did it?

actually, I'm calling Solandrin out

shrike wrote:actually, I'm calling Solandrin out

Figures. A couple of guys can't get a game in and share it with us without getting called cheaters.

Also, it's spelled, "a lot" not "alot"

I'm just saying they might have got a few models confused. I've had that happen before. I doubt very much it was deliberate.

Were you not paying attention?
A lot of money was bet on this...

Last time someone lost a bet on dakka, they had to give out DCM status to 5 people.

I'm not usually one to critisize but...
Are you kidding? Were you even using a rulebook or just making it up as you went along?

Were the squad sizes accurate, yes or no?

A friend of mine told me to check this out. After reading it I have decided to consult with a lawyer and sue you for the 8 minutes of my life it took to read this. Have you ever played an actual game of 40K?

This reminded me of Calvin and Hobbes playing Calvinball. And no, that isn't a compliment.

You could have gone to the local Dollar Store and at least bought some plastic army men.

Wow. This was just... horrible. Sorry, I don't usually post negative things on Dakka... but wow.

You should take up playing video games and leave the tabletop wargaming to tabletop wargamers.

I had to jump in here - every rule... Accurate.

Every Proxy - spot on for size/height comparison.

I might commision KingC for some painting of a Titan I just bought..

My Emporer Titan - Finished..
