You are a master at playing with warhammers and then you loose a vouple of games very badly???

**Tim the Biovore**

No.

**Scott-S6**

No, if you're not losing half your games then you need to be playing tougher opponents.

**Catyrpelius**

I am a masters at nothing

However I am a master at everything...

**Gorechild**

Its the world telling you not to call yourself a master at something that (even with all the briliant tactics and units) comes down to luck.

**Grignard**

Sometimes luck doesn't work your way. For instance, I placed about halfway in the list at 'ard boys qualifiers, but I massacred the guy who was either the 2nd or 3rd place finisher. I don't know if I played well or if he had a bad game.

**bob the heretic**

You mite have good tactics but are your units strong?

**ssREV**

"Mastering" 40k is your brain getting ahead of itself and being all self-congratulatory. I doubt anyone is considered to have mastered it.

**Luthon1234**

You can't master a game of luck (without cheating of course) I've seen players that have won 1st place in tournaments on a regular basis have their dice abandon them during a random game or even a tournament.

**Wings of Purity**

EVERYONE can be a master of 40k, and the the essence of 40k is sportsmanship.Play tough, play fair, have fun, be tolerent, and don't be a sore loser.There, if you have reached these requirements, I think it's quite appropriate to call yourself a master.

Nope. I suck, but I am a-okay with being a work-in-progress.

Is "vouple" a System Internationale measurement?

**Nightbringer's Chosen**

It's the British spelling of "couple".

I think I see what your problem is; you should only play with one warhammer at a time.

**Brother SRM**

I've mastered vouples and vouples of Warhammers in my time.

**Inquisitor_Syphonious**

No.

Also, if you need to tailor your list to beat DoM, as well as needing a tactica. You are not a master of warhammer.

Anyone can be a master of warhammer, but the real trick is in mastering vouples of warhammers.

**sluggaslugga**

No!
im saying that first you Massacre a couple of games and feel like you are a master at playing warhammer then you lose badly NOT THAT YOU ARE A MASTER!
Put the topic in the beggining of the ´sentence and you'll know what i'm trying to say.

**commander nearsighted**

You can never master a game based on the roll of the dice.
