I'm sorry I really wanted to fail that saving throw.

or when you roll above average and just pwn your oponnents uber unit with a meh unit "Well it seems that lady average just fell asleep, lets not wake her up."

**Ratius**

Saying/doing anything to anyone you don't know that well might end up with you getting a slap in the mouth.
Against some good friends however, it can simply add to the fun, especially if you've played with same group for a while and have a few beers in you.

This is the crux of the issue. Amonsgst your friends this level of "mickey taking" is fine and probably even enjoyable, hell these insults are truely tame compared to what my group flings at each other.

However if 90% of these "friendly insults" were leveled at me by a complete stranger prior/during a game I would either:
A. Give him/her one more chance on the presumption he/she is just a bit nervous/immature. If it continued pack up and leave.
B. Simply pack up and leave.

The bottom line is you just do not know the other person and how they will react so why start off on a bad footing? (you may think its funny and harmless but they may not).

Politeness costs nothing.

I usually walk up to Spankhammers table.. look at his Chimera or Sentinal, turn it round and sneak off.., then wait

**MechaEmperor7000**

Tell him Sun Tzu would come to beat him up after he finished beating the crap out of 2 of every animals while on a boat.

We have a "fall guy" amongst the regulars. We constantly make fun of his army, hide models (like include them in another game or shove it up jackets or in pockets) and put models in plain sight.
The most recent of these was last week- we turned 2 sentinels and a LR around, hid his company commander and perched another LR on a tower on another table. We also took a LR turret off and hid it in a guy's jacket, then denied everything, however plainly obvious it was. But it's all fun.
I only cleanly insult friends, annoying ones or regulars who I know won't take it literally.

**EagleArk**

+1 to the turning around tanks, its entertaining when they discover what you have done! (or when your shooting at their rear armor, either or!)

**shrike**

I do that, and then go "ooh, thanks for letting me kill your tank!" or "Your tank's quite suicidal, isn't it?", or sometimes "Has that crew got special needs?"

When you've knocked down enough of your opponents models and they ask you (rather angrily) why your doing that, claim his men are simply tasting the rainbow.

That is so awesome. "Taste the rainbow" works in so many different scenarios, in all parts of life.

edit: really though if somebody did this to me I'd probably wig out and make them "taste the rainbow" if you know what I mean...

Or just aggressively roll multi-coloured dice into his dice pile...

Though this could backfire when he refuses to give them back and claims profit.

**chaplaingrabthar**

Numfar! Do the dance of shame! (Whilst pointing at their HQ)

**gh05tdemon**

i say the dumbest thing i can think of. in my experience they are to didtracted by trying to figure what it meant the first turn that i can run my my fast attacks down their throats

one of my faorites was when i said to a friend after pointing to one of his models... does he like pina collatas.

**AvatarForm**

"Nice army... when will you paint it" - regardless of standard of painting this will get up a hobbyist's nose

Also, at a WYSIWYG tournament, insist that a SM player cannot fire unless all the ends of his bolters are pre-drilled

**Commisar Von Humps**

Well...one day i was playing a match against my friends chaos marines, and i was sucking majorly. My veterans and a torn up platoon were the only guys left. Knowing i would have lost, i charged his 11 man terminator squad(with khone daemon weapon lord) And Judge Judy was on the TV at the time, so as i rolled by dice, i screamed "JUDGE JUDY THE SQUID BEAST CONSUMES ALL" and sure enough i caused enough casualties for them to run away(after they killed 2 guardsmen) I proceeded to run them down.

**revackey**

When my opponent pulls out Mephiston I smile and say he'll make a nice slave for the Archon.

**AvatarForm**

Or when deployment is finished and you pull out your can of deodorant and a lighter and proceed to melt him plastic minis with a flame attack

**DeviantApostle**

My favourite piece of banter was

SoB player: "So which one is Drizzt?"

Me: "Want him to show you how he keeps his pimp hand strong?"

**Dashofpepper**

There's a link in my signature about winning with Dark Eldar - there's an entire section in there dedicated to undermining your opponent's confidence.

Lately, when someone tells me that they are particularly good, or multiple GT winner, or have an undefeated streak of XX games...and they get out their omgawesome tournament list, I bring forth my Necrons, and tell them, "Well, I'm going to get out the least competitive codex in 40k, and worse - am going to play what they are worst at. That's right - close combat Necrons."

Thus far, they reign supreme, and much humiliation has been served.

'Like'd

Seriously, cracked me up.

**Juvieus Kaine**

If you plays Orks, speak Orky, you'll get away with it

**Melissia**

Orky insults are the best. They aren't insulting to anyone with a sense of humor, and they're pretty amusing.

**sexiest_hero**

When ever my Slaaneshi lord leap frogs over a unit and assaults it from the back I say. Hey big guys, looking for a good time.

**sarpedons-right-hand**

I find popping out for a quick smoke every 20 mins REALLY annoys my opponent....especially during his move phase...lol

**winnertakesall**

Make a Chuck Norris mini. After deployment, claim you win game, pack up and leave.

**Uhlan**

I just take a look at his list and start laughing maniacally, sigh, then say ok, where's your real list...

Nah, I don't 'insult' players unless I know them very well. 'Friendly banter' aside, I'm just happy they showed up...

**AvatarForm**

This went form insulting players before a game to stupid things to do and laugh about mid-game...

**gh05tdemon**

claim that a ability brought in a hq will turn all of your enemies units become grots or suitably substiute for the diffrent armies.
