Had a game night versus a friend last night. I'll admit that games get heated and stuffes goes to hell sometimes. I'm trying not to be TFG, however I don't think I'm the one to be blamed. Here comes the situation.

SW vs Necrons - Hammer and Anvil. 1500 Necrons first turn he throws his assault barge (The one with the overlord in it) right in the middle of the field, it would get its jink save and because it was night time, things over 24 would give it a 3+ Or so. Fire an entire pack of longfangs at it. Miss. Can't hit 13 armor. Another group of long fangs, miss. 2 Meltas, can't pen. Finally a combi-melta from a WG pens and explodes it on a 4 + Ap 1 . He then misses his cover save and here come the "Wow this is fething stupid how did that not save 3+" And i'm sitting there after having just shot 400+ Points of models at a 85 point one and he's wondering why it isn't better. Nope.jpg

But here comes the big guns. JOTWW his overlord and he fails on a 3+ initiative test. He does. Calls it OP whatever yeah its strong deal with it.

Turn 2 Rolls around, he drops two nightscythes full of deathmarks+Crypteks with Strength 8 Ap 1 Flamers and whipes out my entire squad of TWC + A WolfLord. About 600 Points. JUST in the shooting phase. This is with storm shields and 2+ Up runic armors. They proceeded to die to the deathmarks. Etc.

I'm sitting there having lost all of these models. About 600 points worth and I say.."Wow..What the Fu@# just happend" And he convinces me that I'm whining about stupid gak and SW are OP as balls anyway.

I proceeded to Jaws every other HQ he had.

How am I supposed to not care that 1/3 of my army, Playing at 1500 had just been whiped by one fell swoop by deathmarks from Nightscythes... However when he loses an 100 point HQ I'M The OP one.

Anyone else have this happen to them? I'm trying not to be an assclown for whining, but when you kill a deathball of 600 points with about 200~ It's really like..Demoralizing..? And then being called a whiner. AND THEN he whines himself. I don't know what to do. How do I stop being TFG. I want to have fun.

It doesn't sound like either of you are TFG, just that ye don't play with competitive people all that often, so these sorts of powerful units and such aren't as common for either of ye as it would be for some of us. Things in the game are that powerful, but ye didn't write the game, and ye didn't bend rules to make them such either. That's just the game, so ye need to chill and stop arguing over who is a whiner, because in the end, both of you are.

I think people are exaggerating this a bit. I'd hardly say either of them where being massive jerks. I don't think this guy used the space wolves deathstar build just to THRAAAASH and win and ruin everyone's day. Don't jump the gun yet. I'd just say the necron player is a bit of a hypocrite and that they just had a vague disagreement.

Hmmmm,

Dark Eldar,

Fielding Fortress of Redemption,
Upgrades missiles.
Parked in Corner to table edges.
Doorway in trapped corner.

Archon in front with shadowfield,
Joined with Grotesques.
Joined with Allied Eldar Warlock using Fortune and Guide.
(got into fun discussion of Dark Eldar "not" Eldar).
Odds are 1 in 32 with the re-roll for the field to hold.

Ravagers with night shields Qty 3.

The rest of the force seemed secondary after that.

He complains when armor is on table (due to everything else with poison shots) yet raiders are like grass with dark lances so the armor is not around for long.

I swear he looked for the most controversial discussions on the forums for what to field.

Play vanilla space marines with one of each Vind, Whirl, shooty Pred, lots o'Marines with no rides and 3 attack bikes HB and 2 skimmers melta/flame.

I am about to channel my TFG and drag out the GreyKnight / Imperial Guard combo with a fortress of redemption with 3 Basilisk in the blind corner.

Dark Eldar are not Eldar for Guide and Fortune purposes, but if they are all in the same unit, then the whole unit would benefit from them. Strange, that he did not field any flyers, since Ravagers x 3 are not the most "TFG-ish" choice any more. But yeah, quite a "fluffy" list and tactics. A bit surprised that he was not fielding Fire Prism...

Played some warmachine this past weekend... my tale below.

The game was terrible. I made a bad play, messed up a whole turn, and lost my Mangler on like turn three. My turn three I activate a few models, try to kill a shredder with the Renegade so my Talon could charge the Carni, he failed that task, so the Talon had to do something, and he failed miserably. So Magnus charges the Carni who has 3 Fury on it, knocks it down with his fist, and proceeds to take a decent chunk of it's life out. Magnus feats, and walks to the very inside edge of the Killbox, and moves the warjacks in front of him to block any chance of his caster moving on Magnus for the kill. His turn four he pulls Fury off of his shredders, and the Carni fails his threshold check, forfeits his action (due to the frenzy rules), and moves towards Magnus and the jacks. On my turn 4, I shift the renegade to base two of his shredders, Magnus attacks the carni again, knocks him down and deals a few more boxes. The talon finishes off the Carni. Feeling slightly hopeless by this, I tell my opponent I'm debating conceding the game. But I look at the board and realize Magnus is out in the open with no focus, and his caster is going to have full fury, so I consign myself to this fate, and decide to let him take his turn 5, giving him the pleasure of killing my caster. He moves the forsaken up, blight bombs next to Magnus, deals 1 damage to Magnus. His caster fires, hits magnus, does a few points of damage, and then like 1 point with Eruption of Spines to Magnus. The shredders have to both use their activations to kill the Renengade, who was useless by turn 3 (though he held those rabid little fethers up for a few turns). Magnus turns, kills a shredder near him, and casts Iron Aggression on the Talon. The Talon charges, and spends his 5 attacks to kill his caster. So I offer a hearty handshake, because I didn't think that I was going to win. He tells me to feth off cause that wasn't a good game. So he grabs my hand, squeezes tightly, and pulls me into the table.

**ExNoctemNacimur**

feth guys, some people need to learn that it's a game!

Not only would I not play this person again, but I'd have a long talk with the store owner about why I was never returning to play there again or spend money there again.

So, you've posted a story about yourself being a TFG?

.......really?

The first step is acceptance.

Next it will be denial.

Followed by ritual suicide by ingesting exploding tennis balls.

Ohhh LOL I needed to read this.
