ATTENTION WARGAMERS, WARHAMMER 40k IS OFFICIALLY MORE BADASS THEN A CHILDREN's CARD GAME

or ATTENTION WARGAMERS, MY HAIR MAKES DRAIGO's FLUFF LOOK LIKE SOMETHING WRITTEN BY DAN ABNETT

Yu-Gi-Oh abridged reference?

Back in third edition I started a tyranid army, my friends were pretty easy about lists and sinning models to test out ideas. I haired a couple into a game on seperate dates. They were the better players in the group with few losses. On the first game my opponent set up first not knowing my list, he allowed me to sub my army.

The army was a hive tyrant with about a hundred spores mines. After I moved started my first turn the first spores mine moved randomly, I was using pennys to keep track of the spores, and moved the first penny flipping it over in grand spectacle. I then asked if he submitted. He laughed and said no. I continued moving pennies and asking again and again if he conceded. After the first half hour and not even half my army had moved he finally gave in due to time constraints.

Better still was the fact he didn't say anything to my opponent the next day who saw my army at set up and laughed. He conceded in the fist half hour also.

I retired that army undefeated after that game.

Not very proud of how I defeated them, but the story is still fun to remember.

Was that even legal?

Don't bring anything with you. No models, rulebooks, dice, templates, and etc. Ask/beg/threaten everyone around you for them though.

refer to your space marine bike squads as boner cycles. If they don't get the reference, do not bother to explain it.

Proxy a Bomb Squig as a Gargant.

Bring a rubber stamp with the =][= and stamp it on the face of any Chaos Player.

Exorcize a Daemons player.

Play Dark Angels, and on turn four take all of your models, put them away, and say "Sorry, invaded the wrong planet. You know how it is."

Play with only bases. When your opponent claims to kill your Hive Tyrant, say that its a genestealer instead and that the Hive Tyrant has been at the front the whole game.

Anytime you successfully do ANYTHING, bend your arms and knees and lean back (ever so slightly) and shout, at the top of your lungs: "METAGAME? METAGAME!"

Play with an old Malal army. Claim you have Preferred Enemy and Furious Charge on anything Imperium or Chaos.

Whenever your opponent rolls a 1 to hit for any sort of high strength high initiative model, deep strikes off the table, or rolls no hits with a mob of shooting orks, do this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0gVZm5QR_Q

Then open the book to a random page, then point inside the book and yell at your opponent, THE CODEX ASTARTES DOES NOT SUPPORT THAT ACTION!

oh god this one's my favorite by far

A variation on the sock puppet commander, I present to you Lord General Solar Cuddleuppets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Pmxb2jUII

Dress yourself as a Vegon constantly retreat and refuse to harm god's animals.

Dress up as a commissar and execute every model on the field and your opponent for HERESY!

Constantly singing "Diggy Diggy Dwarf" bonus points if you sing the digging a hole part when a hero dies.
Any idea what number this is?
This thread is so long it took me an hour to read all of it!

Dress up as a Warlord Titan and count yourself as a unit in your own or one of you friends game.

Tell your opponent you will have you friend the "Techpriest" role the dice for you.

If you die fall over on the floor making crashing sounds and refuse to respond to people.

Win a game, then flip the table in anger.

If you dress as a Titan you must also tell people you did it because:

"It was cheaper than buying and painting the actual model"

Or get a girlfriend and have her dress as a titan. And distract the opponent with her "vulcan megabolters" ;D

Say I AM THE GOD EMPEROR OF MANKIND AND I WIN! And then put a model of the emeror on the table and make lots of explosion sounds.

Go to a game night at your local gw. Ask for a game and then talk with your opponent with usual stuff like points level and armies you are going to field. After you have agreed on a game you go buy your army (using you army list as shopping list) and start the game using models boxes as proxys and replace them with painted models (with the one you have assembled and painted during the game) as the game progresses. Also you discuss about fluff with your oppponent preferrably making fluff about the game you are having right now. If your oppeent ask what you are doing reply with "I like all aspects of the hobby equally"

bonus points if you have painted army at the end of the game.

Make your units "talk" like if it was RTS game
For ex. keep doing differen't voices of "Yes my lord!", "Affirmative!" etc.. as you move your army, and add even more when shooting, explosions and assaults begin.
Also - talk to your army as if you were supreme commander, and HAVE them respond to you :]

If your opponent interrupts and asks wtf are you doing - ell him it's impolite to interrupt someone else's conversation, than keep talking to your HQ

When playing IG, execute your officers with a nerf gun.

A guy at my store did this for a whole game (after I jokingly suggested it). Everybody thought it funny as hell, except his opponent.

I have actually done this a couple of times while playing Chess. Never thought to do it with 40K but I love the idea!

This. For the love of God, this. I may start IG with Mantic models to do just this Of course, then I'll be executing models for heresy against GW AND for failing me. I am not amused, little toy men...

Use a lighter and hair spray as your "flamer template"

Wrap models in plastic explosive and fuse wire and say they're suicide bombers. Bonus points if you actually light the wire.

Reference "You know that sinking feeling when..." throughout your whole game, preferably commenting on game events.

Oh, and Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged references FTW.

its probably cheaper then GW models too

As soon as a single one of your space marines dies, declare/yell exterminatus and violently sweep the entire table with your arm. (im not responsible for any injuries inflicted by metal models or buildings)

Every time your opponent rolls say roll a one roll a one then if he does say YES! Then if they do not then say NO really loud.

Whenever your opponent moves one of his models, shout 'HERESY!' and throw it at the wall.

Proxy a live grenade as a Daemon Prince. Bonus points if you scream the pin's gone missing.
