Anyone use more friendly or clean ways of insulting your opponent, You know getting under their skin before the game begins to throw them off their game?
I seen it a bit often and wanna know if anyone has an art or more pleasant and friendly way of doing it? I seen people just throwing out the typical, Oh your playing "so and so's? This is gonna be easy.

I myself give out my zippy little one liner of "Your Mother was a Tau and Your Father smells of Eldar"
As a snippy little liner right after they throw one at me.

A friend of mine plays yellow blood angels.

I call them "cheese marines" and suggest he paints some cheddar as their shoulder insignia.

With my current army I've been saying "filthy mon-keigh" a lot.

**MechaEmperor7000**

I just mention the word "Trygon" and that completely destroys my friend's sanity xD

**Dracos**

He's one:

If you are playing someone who thinks his list is really good, thank him for making a casual-friendly list. Then tell him that you don't mind if he brings his meanest list against you, cause you want a challenge.

I like to name people's armies and units.

My friend's Keeper of Secrets is "Gouda VanMeunsteren" and I renamed my buddy's Salamander Army "The Trouser Snakes" for example. The funny thing is, the names tend to stick.

**EagleArk**

Ask every question you can think of about their army.

My two friends were playing against eachother, one of them using Imp Guard and the other Eldar. The Imp Guard one was using Rattlings and the Eldar guy had bad memory, instead accidentally called them Ratskins. It was so hilarious that now we all (minus the Imp Guard Player) call them Ratskins by default.

Call their mother a hamster.

Do I smell a monty python reference?

Only if your father smells of elderberry

I tell them to catch me in the morning when my brain isn't working..... so we can start even.

Nice

Take out a Loaded Dice and hand it to your opponent. Tell him he's gonna need it.

**The Crusader Of 42**

Learn klingon and just scream "YOUR MOTHER HAS A SMOOTH FOREHEAD"

Hmm, African Swallows vs. European Swallows then?

**CaragaraPDF**

Telling a 5min long story about the epic victory made by Timmy the conscript when ever a conscript makes a kill against his SM.

**Bramnero**

One of my friends often makes counting mistakes during games, so counting the dice extremely slowly and erratically is always fun.

I used to beat my tau friend all the time with an alpha legion list from the old chaos codex. His only retort was to start calling it Noob Legion.

**Chaos Lord Gir**

I just make whip/lash motions at his troops and then pretend to mime pull them towards the big nasty dangerous terrain.

And my Vindicator.

And also may I direct your attention to this, top marks to the creator!

I'm surprised you havent suggested that you sing the doom song every time your enemy takes his turn

**Gac666**

After killing some Eldar Guardians you can always tell the opponent that they'll have to find a new carpenter/bus driver/plumber on the craftworld. The battleground is really not a place for civilians.

**EmilCrane**

I give names to certain models in my opponent's units. Usually its just relating to a pose or feature and named in reference to where I'm putting a blast template.

As in "I'll centre it on red-quill here" when serving kroot some of cadia's finest pie plates.

One of my friends always suggests suicidal strategies when someone asks a rhetorical question about what they should do.

"What should I do with this russ?"
"I think you should turn it around and not fire it. Just incase they outflank you from your board edge."

**Henners91**

Lol Gac

I've only played a few games with my Eldar but when I lose a Guardian I like to sniffle and clean a fake tear from my eye before saying.

"That was the Craftworld's finest sculptor, you bastard..."

**UsdiThunder**

May the poo of a thousand mon-keighs be flung at you - old Eldar insult

**Kroothawk**

I don't play to insult my opponent. And I don't know if insults can be friendly and clean.

**Da Butcha**

I always try to phrase my insults as if they were coming from my Army, and directed at his Army, so that none of them seem personal. For instance, my Orks started calling the Tau Drones
"dinner plates". Now everybody calls them that. My Orc Warboss decided to go after the Empire General, because he wanted the pelt of that "Flyin' Lion-bird thing!", also known as a Griffon.

Sometimes, though, we can't help it. One of my opponents lovingly painted up that limited release Inquisitor with the wide brimmed hat, long coat, and pistol. We immediately dubbed him "Inquistor Antonio Banderas" and constantly impersonated Antonio Banderas giving all sorts of ridiculous orders. I feel kind of bad that such a lovely model immediately got labeled with such a goofy moniker. He's never been able to shake it.

**Henners91**

Don't y'all have playful banter in Germany?

**Samus_aran115**

"ew man. Did you, like, shower in the past couple days? That whole half of the table smells like lou ferrigno...or maybe jason alexander, after seinfeld of course"

**Nightrave**

I sing during matchs, just take a song and change the lyrics and sing something crazy and offbeat, half the people of the room laugh so hard they can't play for a moment, the others groan as if they heard a horrible pun.....which i do sometimes as well.

i do alot of movie quotes or give things funny names...but my favorite time to do anything is...

Pavanne of Slannesh anything (especially walkers) and start sinnging "you can dance if you want to....you can leave your friends behind" funnily enough my opponent and other players about us ussually join in

**shrike**

I rarely do, and when offered a game by someone I dislike, depending on thier level of annoyingness (is that a word?) I do this:
Simply state that you don't have enough troops choices.
Tell him/her I want a challenge.
Blankly state that (s)he will be disapointed when I beat him/her.
Say I don't like to play thier army. (I hate playing

-based armies)
Bluntly say I find him/her tiresome/no fun to play.
Say "Go to hell/away" and walk on.
Say "I'm busy"

That or just accept, and:
If they have a good army- Do stupid things (e.g: assault some marines into a LR that they cannot harm in any way)
If they have a bad army- table them
If they have a decent army- name my sergeants, mumble softly into my commander's ear, ect. and quit halfway through if I get bored.
