Hi folks

So, just for fun, my club has a house rule, that if you issue/accept a challenge, you actually have to make a mini-challenge line out loud, in the style of your particular character. It's always hilarious, when Ork players get to bellow "Oy, ya humie git, com'n 'ave a go! Rip yer' 'ead off ya snotty grot!", and people seem to be getting really good at it. (I got a very big laugh at hearing someone's chaos lord shouting "FINALLY OUT OF YOUR METAL BAWKSES, SPACE MARINE!" : P)

So, I was wondering, if anyone else does this. And even if you don't, how would your warlord sound, issuing a challenge?

My warlord for my daemons, is a great unclean one, and he usually bellow's something along the lines of "Come forward and embrace me, mortal, greatfather nurgle wishes to bless you with a glorious death!" (It's hard for a gal to pull off a great unclean one voice, sure, but it's fun nonetheless)

So how about you all?

Silently pointing at the enemy.

<- Necrons.

Oi! Smash da runts boyz! Da big guy iz mine!

"OhgodOhgodpleasegodOhgodnoooooo!!!!"-Imperial Guard Company Commander

However, when he pulls off precision shots, it is more like:

"Be purged by Holy Plasma, Xeno scum!"

For my Eldar (which I have pretty much decided to do) my Autarchs war cry is going to be "come fight me "insert challenger here) and be prepared to feel the embrace of Khaine"

never had it happen for my Tau, but my guess its would be " Not in the face..NOT IN THE FACE!" followed by fainting...

and I guess for them to issue a challenge would just be the sound of a railgun punching a hole through the challengee

My warlord usually just says "KILL! MAIM! BURN!" repeatedly.

I see my Imperial Guard commander as silently gritting his teeth while trying to psych himself up internally. He turns on his power fist and then stares at the enemy saying "Come on. Come on. You can do this." to himself.

My commander Rests his weapon on his shoulder and uses his hand to say "come and get me"

Haha, aww, poor imperial guard.

When an eldar player at our club issues a challenge, it's brilliant, because he can do a really arrogant sounding voice, and makes the challenges really overly complicated and fancy xD

We also have a tyranid player. You can imagine how his challenges sound. Made me jump once or twice when I diddn't expect it

Usually we have a little gloating speech after winning too. Ork player is hilarious at this mini game of doing the voices. "Woz that supposed ta' hurt, space marine! Waaaaaahahaha!"

Avenge our Honor!

I don't really know how a Tyranid would issue a challenge. Maybe he would roar louder or just charge directly at whatever it thought was the leader?

SCREEEE!! or OM-NOM-NOM

This, accompanied by the chittering of thousands of tiny robotic legs as the Mindshackle Scarabs prepare to do their job.

That's what my friend does.

"Allright, were in combat, so who has the initiat-"

"SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

"GAH" *Cower*

A tide of black sweeps across the field and hits the enemy like a monsoon of hatred. Grimaldus finds the enemy commander and points his Crozius towards the enemy in a challenge of mortal combat. Then from the smoke and red mist the Emperor's Champion strides forth, puts a hand against Grimaldus, and takes over the challenge as he levels the Black Sword towards his opponent.



He trips, falls, takes an AP2 hit from a rock and fails his save.

'OHGODBEES'-Anything vs. 'nids

"Yippie kay yei, melon-fether"

The obligatory "Come at me bro!", is my favorite.

I've always found a good response to any challenge is "Are you talking to me or chewing a brick?".

Necrons --- "Come taste death scum"

Space Wolves: "Hold my beer and watch this."

Yor gunna get yor fethin ed kicked in!

Ork.

My Iron Warrior Lord : C'm'on

My Steel legion Commissar: time to give these orks a taste of imperial steel.

Rocks aren't AP2 any more, don't worry, Champ.

I know it's not canonical, or even especially characterful, by any time anyone challenges my Dominion Superior, she spins her mace and yells,

"COME AND 'AVE A GO IF YA THINK YER 'ARD ENOUGH!"

Yeah... >> Vita has... a few problems, upstairs.

Hmm, interesting question. Though if fluff is any indication, a Dark Angel challenge would either be very quiet, or simply decking the challengee for showing up to the fight

Of course with my Iron Warriors one must always yell "FooOOoORrrr ChaAaaooOosss!!!" like the cultists in Dawn of War did.

i think a space wolves wolf lords challenge should be "FUUS RO DAH"

"No balls, no babies."

I just came up with one for my Archon which i think is succsessfully arrogent.

''You crawl from under my bootheel to fall under my blade, Mon-Keih''

Mine are usually something Orky, but my favorite one is from an IG friend.

An SM Captain/Chapter Master is assaulting an IG squad.

The Sarge calls out: "Space Marine! Your grandmother wears combat boots!"

He then proceeds to get locked in combat for 2 turns for his mockery before finally dying.
