I am the thorough strategic thinker, mathhammer source, the kind of rules lawyer that will abuse wound allocation on myself and remind you to do the same, and the guy with Grey Knights.

The guy who never wins, but has a good laugh all the same.

I don't really go to my local anymore but you could say I may have been seen as that annoying guy who goes on that new fangled "Internet" thing that GW have obviously never heard of...

I'd be "the guy that can't roll above a 1 for Armour penetration with Railguns" for 40K.

Don't know about WHFB, haven't played too many games of it at my local store yet. Most recent one was when I tabled the managers Ogres with my Dark Elves by achieving total magic dominance, so I guess I could be "The guy who blows up half the board with templates, not caring whether they're from spells or miscasts"

So I occasionally use 12 dice to cast 1 spell? Is that a problem?!

I'm the 'old geezer' to some, as i tend to wax lyrical about RT 40K, Epic, Necromunda etc

I'm also the 'Uncompetitive guy' to the local optimizers, as my lists are rarely uber-optimized (i tend to build to a theme, and with my orks i like a lot of random wackiness ).

I'm Da Squig-Taker to one poor sap, who ALWAYS seems to lose his IC's to Zogwort

Actually what stuns me is that i get the occasional 'best painted' when i know for a fact that i ought to be 'that guy who paints better with his left foot...'

I am the old veteran - painter.

I'm the guy with the meticulously painted fluffy army that never seems to win. Except at infinity!

I mainly go down to the store to chew the fat with the cool people there, and show off my painted stuff and admire others hard work.

The alcoholic.

I'm lucky dice rollin' guy. You've never seen anyone roll so many 6's. Seriously.

Good...Evil...I'm the guy with the gun...

Nice. Ash strikes again.

I'm probably "that pretty good painter who's obsessed with Thousand Sons" or something along those lines.

Ha ha, although I still usually miss!

I'm the girl. Most of the guys have become accustomed to my presence, but I used to get a lot of really weird looks when I started playing a year ago.

My fiance is the master painter. I will never be as good as him. Seriously.

The guy who knows the obscure fluff. XD also the one who hasnt won a game in recent memory.

The legend says that should Philmore ever win a game then this is the final sign of the apocolypse. soon the skies will began to rain trout and deamons will run amok killing the earth.

I'm also the one that wanders off half way through a game because something shiny happened outside. (more to do with being bored of yet another petty rules fight.

I have no idea what category I'd be covered by, noone else here really knows either, because they're going by what they think they're being viewed as, rather than how others are actually seeing them.

It's like hearing your voice on a recording, it sounds nothing like how you hear it when you speak, but that's how it sounds to others all the time.

The guy with a wife.

/joke

ummm, I guess I'm the questioner of GW's logic. I don't bash them per se, but I openly question a lot of their decisions.
I think I'm also the only one who plays HE.

We have a turd in the punch bowl, I repeat, we have a turd in the punch bowl.

I'm 4c.

Haven't won a tourney. I've only been to 1 and was very happy when my son and I got 5th out of 8 teams.

Not exactly sure how else you'd classify me. Been playing 40k for about 3 years with my kids. Main thing for me was using it to teach them how to win (or lose) gracefully. Yes, you want to WIN!! But yes, you also want to have fun regardless of the outcome, otherwise what's the point? That's probably how I got to 4c.

I'm also the guy that hasn't played too much in the local store, but pops in to pick up models, books, etc. Love the fluff and painting.. Of course, finding the time for either is...difficult.

I'm the ancient evil. I used to win every tournament, but now don't really compete and just focus on painting and playing pick up games... on those rare occasions where I actually show up. Real life's a time vampire, ya' know?
My friends attributed the flavor text of the blackguard in the old DE book to me... "Vicious killers that hate everyone and everything."

I'm the painting guy. Can talk painting science with you all day long.

Will win 1 out of 20 games

The only non-annoying kid (most of the time) in the store. And the funniest kid in the store too (oh ye!)

I'm the rules-guy I guess. Some will occasionally call out a rules question to me, or come by my table and ask for my extensive book of FAQs. Maybe the 'competitive gamer' guy too. Course, up at Dicehead, almost all folks play at a pretty high level.

I'm the handsome guy.



...that's a role, right?

Fixed,

why thank you

Used to be the WAACAH, but decide I didn't have fun playing the game anymore.

Now I'm the friendly vet, cares little for winning (except if you are a WAACAH), ok painter..

I used to be the called "the living rulebook" but now I'm just a bitter ex-player.

Dunno. I might be "the weirdo", or "the noob", or probably "the weird noob".

I'm best known for running unconventional lists, which some people laughed at when I started playing there. Then they realized I actually had a strong understanding of tactics, and that I built my lists to counter the traditional cookie-cutter lists that a lot of people play. I get a little more respect now, and there are a few specific people that will come check out my games for a while when I play, but I still haven't memorized enough of the LRB to play without referring to it several times. Most people are cool with that because I apparently keep things interesting.

If you go by that list posted by Chowderhead, I'm somewhere between phases 2-3 by my estimate.

I can easily see myself becoming a rules lawyer, but not in the TFG kinda mindset.

I recon if I still frequented the local gaming store I would be defined as a mixed bag really. I can be very easy going and dont give a damn if I loose or win.

But pitted against some of my local TFGs I have been known to enter bezerker mode. This is particulary true when it comes to 40k
