Yes, thats right I'm asking why I keep winning.

Why? Well I don't play a competetive army whatsoever, but I've won the majority of my games.

Heres my list:

Kharn

Termie Lord w/ LCs

9 berserkers 1 w/ PF in a rhino with possession and launcher (kharn unit)

20 Berserkers on foot w/ PF (termie lord unit)

2 Obliterators

Armies I've won against:

Ultramarines (with Cassius, plus termies, tac squads and a dread or two.)
Hawk Lords ( SM captain w/bike and SS, tac squad, scouts, ven dread, normal dread)
Chaos (Lord, 2 normal units, rhino other stuff i cant remember.)
Multiple guard armies with mixtures of tanks and infantry.
Deathwing army.
Slaaneshi noise marine army.

Couple other i cant remember.

So, why is that I win all the time, am I just that badass?

**Gorechild**

How long have you been palying 40K? and how experienced are those people you keep beating?

If you're not finding your usual games to be a challenge, maybe its time you take the leap and try a tourney (or a bigger tourney rather than just a local one if you're already cleaning up at the local store)?

**JohnnoM**

well, some are older and some are younger. And i've only been playing 40k for about and this army for about 4 months (Im also only 15)

**Pilau Rice**

Loaded dice?

**JohnnoM**

Nope, always use stores or opponents dice. Its seems more and more that im just badass....

Pretty much your too badass.

**SoloFalcon1138**

Maybe because, despite everyone's whining about the chaos codex, you found a list that matches your playing style, thus granting you the ability to win?

Its not always about "competetive" builds, sometimes people can make the best of the situation...

**Daemonhammer**

Yea sometimes when you cheat stuff happens

**Dayvuni**

You win because you>opponent. If you want this to change then you could change your tactics or think less about what your doing, move forward, shoot directly ahead, and assualt (if possible).
If those don't work find new opponents.

**Robbietobbie**

Come on guys, all he wants to hear is that he's badass. So good job badass!

But seriously, age says very little about experience

**KingDeath**

You are either very lucky or your opponents suck.

**Medium of Death**

I am pleased at your Khorne themed list and your victories.

Truly, Chaos is begin to grow once again.

he plays a Khorne army, he probably already does that. an his opponents probably just stand there and let him.

JohnnoM, do your opponents just stand and shoot while you strut over to mash them every time?

You've got a point there MoD, if Chaos really IS begin to grow, it would totaly explain the OP's bad assery

**Lord Rogukiel**

Spoiler:

I love people strutting their stuff on the internet. It's an odd mixture of hilarity and failure at the same time.

If you're borde, join in a Throne of Skulls tourney. That should keep you occupied.

**Kevlar**

I honestly can't see how that list could win. You have almost no anti-tank. Or shooting for that matter. A mech army can just drive away from you

**MFletch**

Not particularly liking your list. Not antitank or that many powerweapons to deal with deathwing.

My advice would be to tell the opponent how to beat you. Just point out your weak spots.

The Deathwing in particular should have enough missiles to deal with the rhino and maybe even instant kill an oblit.
Then it will be foot slogging with furious charge with little shooting vs. foot slogging with missiles, fearless and powerweapons.

**Manchu**

I've noticed a lot of people are reporting wins with CSM these days. Perhaps it's just the case that Chaos is begin to grow?

**Testify**

All your opponents were lacking ALL of the following:
AP3 ranged weaponry
Blast templates
Deepstrike/outflankers
MEQ foot troops (which you have) die in drives to AP3 weapons, and/or blast templates. Your enemies are rubbish at this game. Some people are, and that's fine.

**NuggzTheNinja**

*EDIT

Beaten to it lol...the badass meme pic. So true.

**Dayvuni**

If you just want praise you don't have to cover it up.

**iGuy91**

Haven't faced a mech army yet, and you probably have a good mind for tactics and making the most of your army.

A Rimmy original LOL

**Iur_tae_mont**

Just saying...

**Lucre**

Being good is not important to everyone!
Some people prefer to have weird stuff that kind of works and comes with a neato picture in their head! These people don't hang around on the internet as much as we do and then they lose to what is probably a relatively talented tactician (though his list doesn't give him many options, not a good sign) with a lot of furious charge guys with lots of attacks.

**loota boy**

I just don't understand.. Do your opponants just sit there and let you run over them? It's not a terribly difficult list.. any anti-tank should quickly strand the singular rhino, as it is the only vehicle in the whole army, and then it can kill the oblits without to much trouble, what with nothing else to shoot at. If the other guy is meched, then he can run you in circles for the whole game, and just plink away. There are only two reasons i can think of why this is happening. (and no, neither of them are because you are badass.

)
1) You are playing with an absolutely obscene amount of terrain. Like, cities of death style terrain. Like, you are making it to the other guy's lines because you are always out of LOS, so he can't shoot you, and the board is so cramped that he has no where to go but towards you.
2) Your opponants suck. Hard. You should start stepping up your game, playing in tournys, and start finding people to play that don't use armies made of nothing but chaos spawns and mandrakes.

I can't help it. Mandrakes look so cool.

Then paint 'um pretty, and leave 'um on the shelf.

Or proxy them as wracks or something. Perhaps in 6th edition, you might get a miracle. But for now, those boys are better off as a display piece.
