Possibly the best sendup of warhammer fans I've ever seen.

I'm just imagining having the 2 worst rules lawyers arguing over what constitutes being in cover.

Can't open the link (at work!), can someone give a run through of the whole situation? I've been a little to busy with work to read it

I'm picturing people standing on chairs and claiming immunity to punches because their opponents cannot fit on the chair with them.

on the forum. Obviously

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — A bar fight that broke out near a local Warhammer tabletop wargaming convention has now entered its third consecutive day of conflict, as its participants continue to slowly, methodically attack one another.

The incident began at a bar outside the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center, as two Warhammer fans got into a heated debate about which edition of the tabletop game is better. Bar staff told police that the verbal altercation soon escalated, causing the patrons to spend a full day reorganizing the bar’s furniture to create the optimal battle terrain.

“Usually these fights just kind of last a minute or two and we toss ‘em out,” bar owner Sully Bousquet explained. “But these guys just stood around for hours, mulling over who they wanted fighting on their side and then painting custom insignias. The first punch wasn’t thrown until they were 26 hours in.”

Despite the fact that the fight phase has now started, the pace has not picked up as each punch, kick, and broken bottle has been preceded by a list of careful preparations, including measuring the distance to the victim and obsessively cross-checking datasheets.

Unsure of how to deal with the situation, Schaumburg police called in Warhammer manufacturer Games Workshop to provide assistance. However, the company’s presence only exacerbated the problem, as they imposed a series of new rules on the conflict, forcing fighters to stop and read through new books every few hours to make sure the fight remained tournament legal.

“Honestly, I don’t even know if there’s a crime happening here,” one puzzled Schaumburg police officer wondered. “They aren’t even landing hits most of the time, and when they’re done attacking, they stop to check on everyone’s morale. It’s a pretty civil conflict, all things considered.”

So far, the bar fight has racked up nearly $8,000 in damages, which include a $6,500 bar tab, a 6.25% sales tax, and a 20% gratuity. Each person involved in the fight has already resolved to help pay off the debt by cutting their next Warhammer purchase in half.

Fights around here look a tad different. Although this does seem more peacful, so better.

If you have to kill, then kill in the best manner. If you slaughter, then slaughter in the best manner. Let one of you sharpen his knife so his animal feels no pain.

That is brilliant, in tears here laughing. Kudos for cheering up a grim Wednesday in Dublin.

Now that was funny. Thank you : )

Please note, for those of you who play Chaos Daemons as a faction the term "Daemon" is potentially offensive. Instead, please play codex "Chaos: Mortally Challenged". Thank you.
