111. Play Orks and yell WAAAAAGH at the top of your longs in the middle of the match.

113. Claim that both sides could do better than that and have them WAAAG again, bonus points each time you have them repeat it.
*The store I played in used to do this all the time. As soon as I saw it coming I would just walk out of the store and go get a coke from down the street.
114. Play in a tournament and yell Gummy Bear each time you gift of chaos someone. Bonus points for giving your opponent a gummy bear when it happens.
*Saw this happen as well. Fortunately I think the guy got the hint and stopped because I haven't seen him do it since.

And a couple of other things
116. Have a lucky marble. Throw it every time you roll dice "for luck".

118 - When your opponent shows you his list, insist on copying the whole thing onto a notepad. Whenever you or he shoots or assaults a unit, stop the game, look up the appropriate unit on the army list, and go through the entire unit's wargear.

The people who don't like the Alpha Legion are actually Alpha Legionnaires.

119 - Each time you decides to shoot/move/assault whatever, say it like "Ok, this squad moves here", then slam yourself in the face and say "Nope, I guess they aren't..."

120 - If you play Slaanesh daemons, pay two belly dancers to stand and dance next to you.

121 - Each time you kill one of your opponents models, laugh maniacally and yell "ONE STEP CLOSER TO WORLD DOMINATION!"

122 - Play the entire game in complete silence, just by pointing at things and glaring at your opponent when its their turn to do things.

123- Everytime your opponent does anything, including dice roll, moving models, etc, snicker and have a conversation with yourself saying things like "I can't beleive he's doing that", or "What an amateur tactic"

124 - Approach the TO after awards are handed out and ask why you weren't best sportsman. Spend the next 10 minutes arguing with TO that you are best sportsman and demand tied scores split the prize. After being denied, storm off and loudly complain.

Some A-hole did this at a flgs tournament this weekend. Not a very sporting fellow in my opinion.

Haha I read these and thought they sounded very familiar then I looked at the user name.

You forgot :

125. Roll individual armor saves for your 20 eldar guardians to make it more exciting!

126) Every time either player rolls to hit in CC, consult the BGB to "double check" what they need to roll.

127) Do the same thing with rolls to wound.

128) Bring along your laptop and show your opponent your collection of 40k themed motivationals.

129) Read him this entire list and pause after each one and ask "Get it?"

Battle Brother Lucifer wrote:#. Bring a pizza. Say you will share. Open box to show Hawaiian pizza.
Bonus Points if they don't take any. No points and you must post on dakka about it if Hawaiian is their favorite pizza.

Ooooh that's evil....

136 (because that is actually where we are - I counted!) - Wear a mask. If your opponent asks why, tell him you don't wan't him to be able to see what you're thinking on your expressions.

137: Bring ten armies worth of Cygnar models (including five warcasters) and an entire box of stat cards to a 500 point tournament. When your opponent begins their Shooting phase, insist that they've already activated all their models, so their turn is now over. Accuse your opponent of cheating when the TO comes by. Bonus points for yelling "Play Like You Have A Pair!" as the TO throws you out of the venue.

Place a hammer on the table. When prompted why there is a hammer on the table, simply say "It's to keep Morale".

139) Demand to play while standing on your opponent's side.

140) Explain that you always played 40k with your ex-girlfriend and that this is your first game against someone other than her. Ask your opponent to wear a wig you brought to help your transition. Also, only address him as Jessica.

141) Blame your dice. Do it with every roll. Sulk and claim you're only loosing because you're bad at rolling dice.

142. Charge every unit of yours into every single unit of his, then annihilate. Commonly done by me on turn 3 when close with BA.

143. If you know your models are slightly out of range, pile them up and move if lots, then say you'll stand them up later; preferably done in shooting to inch a little closer

144. Whenever your opponant moves a tank or bike or something at flat out/turbo boost, pull out a fake cops badge and write them speeding tickets. 5 billion bonus points if you actaully are a cop and show them a real badge. Extra 10 trillion if you really do write them a ticket. Extraextra 40 quadrillion if they actually pay it.

145. Purposefully play sloooooowly. Like spend 3 minutes to decide how to handle your opponents Tomb Prince throwing 1 dice and rolling a 1 on his incantation. Then when his tomb king throws one dice and throws a 1, spend another 3 minutes.

Also ask them to re explain a rule every time the rule comes up. Like the tomb king incantation heirarchy.

not once per phase, once per spell cast.

happened to me yesterday.

Every time you're gonna have to roll an dice, for any reason, roll the dice you were gonna roll but not "for real," and keep re rolling anything besides a six until every dice gives you a six. THEN roll them for real.

... and then get a one...

# When firing a pistol grab six dice and roll them, if its a plasma pistol make plasma-y sounds. When your opponent asks what the hell you're doing, declare that your pistols are revolvers and have at least 6 shots. If you want to go even further you could add some Clint Eastwood quote-age in before you assault.

As for the dalek one, exponential bonus points if you play necrons and they are dalek themed, yourr opponent happens to play marines and happened to come in dressed as a cyber man (follow that up with it being a 3 way game and your other opponent plays Eldar and is dressed as the Doctor with a model sonic screw driver).

#... Close your hand into a fist, and slam the table as hard as you can when you wiff a roll. Keep your head down, and breath heavily. Then slowly lift your head, giving a death stare to your opponent who is mad that you knocked down all the models. Then smile and say, your turn

1UP on you - Roll every single dice one by one, and make sure you get them off the table. This is an extended familial tradition spawned from a monopoly game where my cousin and I would roll our dice off the table, then when everyone bent down, we got a $500 note from everyone. Needless to say, these days, our Monopoly games never end.

So. Much. Win. I laughed so hard, I swear to you all that I will do this the very next game I play. And,

#? - Bring a laptop (better yet, a desktop with CRT monitor). Set it up near you, insist on checking your email, facebook, ebay etc. every 15 minutes. Halfway through the game, during your turn, spend 47 minutes placing an amazon order. Insist that you are conducting important business that cannot be put off.

Just thought I'd tell you were we are: If you don't count All-Shans (which were quite a lot of repeats, dunno which was), Boba Fex' were nr 149. If you add All-Shans, we are at nr 250 exactly.
Now, lets see if we can get to nr 500?
In any case, I think it would be good if we wrote the number we are at each time.

#251- Bring your lawyer, Agent and Entourage with you, have your lawyer hand your opponent a stack of legal papers. Tell him he needs to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement, a Personal Appearance Release Agreement and Option theTV and Film rights to the upcomming game.
Your Agent will talk on the phone all game trying to "Sell this Hot New Deal" and your Entourage will cheer you all game.

Play apocalypse. ALL MONOLITHS.

May have already been said, but:

A) DON'T WASH.

B) turn up to the introductory sessions with a comb over and an unshaven beard, toting a bag of sweets whilst bopping along to gary glitter.

C) reach for the dice/rules/measure at the same time as your opponent. Graze thier hand and look them in the eyes. Smile. Tell them how soft thier skin is.

Sorry I haven't counted for you guys. I have been busy these last few days. I'll try to get to it tomorrow.

Lets see if we can go to 500! and also lets try to find some ways to annoy your teamates!

#?.... Play tau, leave most of your army in reserve. Then attempt to bring your army in on turn 3. If it sucessfully gets in, don't move your models. Watch as your teammate looses
