Whilst preparing for battle, I think it only appropriate to taunt the opposition with a few threats of their impending demise such as "I shall crush you as if you were an insect" or "would you prefer to be sliced or diced?"

Anybody else got any good one liners I can add to my (limited) repertoire? (Films are usually a pretty good source for these)

"I bet you like mat ward."

You'll be saying Waaagh for a different reason after I spank your ass.

I run a captain with a power fist in my marine army (Yes, I really do). I usually ask my opponent "ready for some fisting?" before we start. Results in very different kind of responses.

But you can always go with "This shouldn't be long".

I think you should have brought bigger shoulder pads.

Lol

Good luck ressurecting after I'm done with you.

Don't point that flashlight at my eyes.

I thought the easiest one was to just shout WAAAGH! very loud and full of spittle into their face for 5 odd minutes and see what happens

chuckeling for no apparent reason. it messes with their minds

Smile

pick one of his units. ask about its purpose(even if its obvious) look like you are in deep contemplation about it.



say this directly to his HQ unit/model, "your mother was a Hampster, your father smelled of Elderberries, and your fluff writer's initials were C.S.G"

For the Rebel Alliance!
That or:
Wakka wakka wakka wakka

I prefer not to taunt my opponent. It only makes my inevitable defeat all the more painful.

My American freedom cannon has come to liberate you from your worthless life. which normally ends up getting focused down 1st or 2nd turn hahaha good old vindicator

Ahh the freedom cannon.
Many have been liberated from the heavy burden of stuggling through their weary lives by it's magnificent display of power.

Stare at one unit in utter expressionless silence. Focus all fire on it. Smile when it dies utterly.

Repeat

Or "It's hammer time" (may need a captain of sorts with a thunderhammer for full effect however)

Snigger and cover your mouth when your opponent moves a unit out of your LOS or towards one of your CC units in an attempt to make them redact it.
Dash has that in his DE tactica for playing mind games, but you'd be shocked how much it really works.

Do this when your opponent does anything.

it really messes with them.

Personal favorite of mine:

"So, hate to break it to you, but your mom worships Slaanesh. Wanna know how I found out?"

My favourite is in my sig: Fortune may favour the brave, but Khorne favours me!!!

Usually helps when shoutin at the top of my lungs and wearing one of my Cradle of Filth tshirts!

in one game were i proxied 9 Basilisks i said all of the following

"Shatter their sky!"
"His Wrath falls from the Heavens"
"I'm going to rock your world."
"Fire Mission, my target, Danger close, do not deviate!" (all nine shots then landed right were i wanted them to, so i did a happy dance)

I'll look them dead in the eyes and say, "You really want to do this? Really? Fine, your funeral." before placing over 200 Orks on the table.

I've learned a lot by having a list with over 200 models. Many people instantly pack up. Many people don't even pack up, just sweeping their models into a case and walk away. The people who begin to laugh are the ones you have to be worried about. They'll pull out 9 Leman Russ Punishers and beat you six ways from sunday.

Laugh with an evil grin and do little waves to all of the models in my opponents army.

Also to freak them out start giving a pep talk to your own army.

I strip naked and paint myself as the Nightbringer.

Nothing is more intimidating than that.

Act like you have not had human contact in many years. Constantly talk to yourself under your breath in an agitated manner and recoil from everyone and everything around you.

Another favorite is to pretend you have a split personality and constantly fight with yourself verbally and physically.

When being taunted the best response is, "Just roll the damn dice."

Observe:

Opponent: "I hear your mom is dating Matt Ward."

Me: "Just roll the damn dice."

I have to favourites...the first is to point at a unit that I am about to attack and then point in a random direction like Babe Ruth use to do!

The other is to attempt to curse the dice as they are rolled by shouting 'Snake Eyes' which usually seems to work!

"You ever heard of the squats? Yeah that was me"

Dude don't attack there its so not worth it! ITs like attacking bunker hill!
*He attacks it*
HA!
*All of his troops die, he scratches his head asking what happened*
Sorry mate that was totally my fault i thought it was my worst defense, turns out it was were all of my heavy weaponry and assualt squads were located! SORRY MAN!

"Hey mate hurry up, its not like i have to do anything interesting my next turn."

"HA! Your marines all belong to me!"

"I am the best, and noone is any better."

"BAH! I am Cameron Asherian and you are a moronic fool! MUHAHAHAHA!"

"The Space Wolves are too drunk to fight, huh?"

Or if I'm playing another IG player, we usually sit there all game accusing the other of being traitors.

Now that's funny...and intimidating.
