Some funny things people who don't know anything about Warhammer 40k have said about the franchise

Got this from the escaptist forum

Gears of War had about zero back-story (not even in the pathetically thin user's guide). But it never pretended to. It was just stupid big muscle-dudes with no helmets shooting bad stuff from behind cover.

What bugs me about WH40K is that it PRETENDS to have a back-story but doesn't really. There's just no real explanation of motivations, economy, politics, etc. And from the extremely limited story that is there, these other levels of detail are rendered impossible. It's just WE KILL THEM, and THEY KILL US. That's it.

What I couldn't ever understand is why those huge imaginary table-top army clashes were ever considered possible or even desireable. Since the invention of the rifle it's been bad form to mass troops and advance in large numbers. It's just too easy to put too much explosive power in a targeted area for the opponent to survive. So it's all about small unit tactics and staying out of sight and behind cover. The only reason human waves worked a little in North Korea was that they were HUMAN so tactical nukes weren't used. No such problem with Orks.

It's all just unrealistic bull that only the most juvenile middle-schooler would find engaging.

seriously people need to look into the universe more: NOT every IG regiment uses archaic ww1 tactics; look into the Elysian Drop troops, The Tallarn Mechanized regiments, the Harkoni Warhawks

What are some funny clueless anti 40k comments you've read?

40K is expensive.
Oh wait...

**Avatar 720**

"I don't want my army to be blue."

A friend from high school who refused to believe that you could paint models differently from how they appeared on the box.

only if you buy from the GW store

if you know how to kit bash, buy from discount online stores, kit bash bits(may not always be cheaper but you'll get a lot more bang for your buck), use alternative bits from other companies, use different paints, you'll save a lot more money then you think (the more you spend, the bigger the savings get)

Trust, me, I know. I just wanted to get that in before someone else

**juraigamer**

When I first started:

"Wait, the models don't come painted?"

**Belexar**

When I first saw the codices: "No hard cover? For that price?"

**InquisitorVaron**

"If I shoot my hunter killer missile It doesn't need LOS and is an Automatic pen."
Naturally I told him to look in his Codex after I called him wrong and he didn't have one

so I had to get a Store guy to explain. This was In a campaign and this was for the last Structure point on a borrowed Stompa. I vapourised his tank for that

"Well when I shoot at your Orks with my Ultramarines they die automatically and your Orks need a 6 to kill me" my first game ever.

I played against a store guy before I had the BRB and thankfully he's been sacked and got replaced with Awesome people

**spudkins**

There's mass backround on the 40k universe.
This don't have clue really.
I loved it how kids think the only chapter is ultramarines.
Also staff used to sell people gw sand and pva glue robbing b**tards.

**Belexar**

The author of the comic EATATAU! (a comic about the alien Ttau and Kroott), said something like this:

"(...) Some eople keep saying that my comic is based on a science fiction tabletop game where theo one who spends the most wins. I think that's absurd, (...) such a game wouldn't last long."

She also talked about how she was planning to add a race of terminator-like robots who are powered by a green psychic energy. She is thinking on calling them Psycrons.

**InquisitorVaron**

Sees future legal battle

**Belexar**

Actually she already spoke with GW about it. They say it's fine. I was just as surprised as you.

**MrMerlin**

the models are too small-

the guy who said that sold his "disappointing" models to me for dirt cheap, and i subsequently sold them for way more to my sisters idiotic friend

It took me 24 h to get rid of those lotr dwarves

**thenoobbomb**

'Not enough variation possible on my 40k models'

heard it somewhere. Dont ask me where.

**Vermillion**

"3rd edition is the best edition of 40k yet!!!!"

In the same WD that told you the differences.

Oh and being told that the games day someone went to ended up like GW staff were doing an indoctrination and brianwashing because they "are THE hobby!!!".

**Locclo**

One of my buddies (who plays Chaos), still claims that 3rd Edition was the best of the editions. Oh, and this one came from another buddy of mine:
"Yeah, I'm not going to play this game until it's totally balanced between armies."

Yeah. That'll happen.

3rd edition was great for everyone except space marines, and it was the Tyranids that were over powered. in the end of 4th edition seemed like 40K was going to a more balanced system, but then they started releasing 5th ed codecs and that was out the window, and when grey knights was released any illusion of play balanced was shot in the skull right between the eyes with a volcano cannon.

These things are really small...
