I had brought my FAQ and TO ruled in my favor all three times. He was playing a demons army and all I could think the entire time is wow, that Fateweaver is so amazing!. Too bad its because he was rerolling cover saves on Bloodcrushers when I'd hit them with a particle whip. Oh, did you know it's possible to give Bloodcrushers FNP? I can't find it, but he played it.

Um, Fateweaver allows that. He, and all friendly units within 6" of him can re-roll all failed armour, invulnerable and cover saves.

As for the FNP. erm, yeah. They were BC's right, and not Beasts of Nurgle? You seem to have a skewed view that your opponent was cheating with Fateweaver so you may have just misidentified a unit. [/Devil's advocate]

Cool story Bro!

Vs'd a chaos player yesterday that claimed because he has a familiar his sorcerer could use two psychic powers and was using warptime/Nurgle's rot and then went on to say that all the guys in the area that were wounded had to be removed from there including champions/characters.

Tabled his ass and showed him he was doing it wrong.

Closest I've ever seen to cheating was a guy who played IG, but wasn't nearly as familiar with his codex as he thought he was. He was most likely simply misinterpreting his codex rather than outright cheating.

For example, he had two Masters of Ordnance in his CCS.

He moved his Leman Russ Executioner 6" then fired all of its weapons, claiming that Lumbering Behemoth allowed it to move and fire everything.

He issued FRSR to an Infantry Platoon when his CCS (who was issuing the order) was halfway across the table from them (at least 36"). He DID try to issue the order with his PCS first, but failed the leadership test.

So mostly small things that indicated he was simply new to IG.

I corrected most of his errors, and he made the appropriate corrections. A couple I didn't catch until I went over the battle in my head later. He only put up an argument until we opened his codex and I showed him how he was misinterpreting the rule.

So yeah, I guess nobody's ever tried to cheat me.

That, or I'm horrible at catching cheaters. One or the other.

I don't know what he was doing, but if hefired his turret and his sponsons after moving that was okay.

When Rhinos started blowing up, had a guy try to change what squads were in what Rhinos after he defined them in the start of the game.

Lumbering Behemoth allows you to fire your turret in addition to whatever you normally would be able to fire at combat speed.

A tank at combat speed can fire one weapon.

Sponsons are two weapons.

So, for example, a Leman Russ moving at combat speed can fire its turret AND 1) one sponson 2) the other sponson or 3) the hull weapon.

Not all of the above. Or any combination beyond a grand total of "the turret and one other weapon."

I don't have my codex with me, so I don't remember the exact wording, but that's what it boils down to.

First game I ever played I had put FNP on all of my Berzerkers. It wasn't tell a week later when I was playing somebody else that it was explained to me that I could only put it on the SGT/Skull Champion.

Actually if it moves six inches it can fire the turret + main weapon + defensive weapon.

If he sits still(often the best choice) he can fire everything he has.

If you look at the movement chart take the weapons you can fire and add whatever the turret is. Technically the turret doesn't count as a main weapon when doing this, just a bonus.

Never thought about the sponsons as two different weapons entirely because my friends and I never really thought about that and I never play in tournaments. Good to know though, but I doubt my friends or I will actually do this while playing a friendly.

Oh, I have had a guy cheat with the conversion beamer though. He added a few inches by measuring from behind his own model and stopping at the middle of the top of my tank.

It helps that there's not a single situation in which you CAN'T fire the defensive weapons (that I know of). I don't bother mentioning them because they don't merit mention.

How exactly are you capable of putting Feel No Pain on a Skull Champion?

old dex

I was playing chaos with space marines and I was against dark eldar and necrons.
The space marine rhino moved 18 inches. In dark eldars turn he charged his incubi at the rhino, I explained that you nedd a 6 to hit and the rhino gets a cover save but the "Referee" (who everyone sucks up to, and everyone believes whatever he says) said the rhino only gets the cover save in the space marine players turn! Also the necron flayed ones deep striked and rolled a 2 on the misshap table (Entire unit destroyed!) but instead the ref says they just can't do anything for a turn. There was also much more e.g they got 600 points of upgrades because my army had a landraider, I could only use Abbadon as a terminator lord because he was too "good", and because dark eldar and necrons were losing, the ref joined his army and declared; "we can't shoot him but he can shoot us" it consisted of 10 sternguard, Kavan Shrike, 2 Marine squads, and an honor guard squad. It was only a friendly game of 1000 points and they told me not to get anoyed because it's not all about winning, it's about taking part. My friend brought in the rulebook the next day and showed them but they still denied it.
