Well, at least he took out 50% of my termies in his 2nd turn shooting and me rolling 1's. And Belial with 3 other Terminators TH/SS managed to do exactly nothing to the Defiler in 3 turns of combat.
At least my brand new Fire Raptor saved the day, no? Nope, decided to come in Turn 3 and killed a total of 3 Cultists and a single noise marine before being multi meltaed to death from 3 Obliterators which also destroyed my Land raider. In melee.
The 3 cultists that killed the last remaining Terminator with Overwatch was bonkers though.
I was nearly tabled at the end of turn 4 and maybe had removed a total of 800 points from his rag-shack list.

Then TFG couldn't help telling my friend to bring some tissues the next time to dry my tears. At that stage I was so fething pissed I was about to go full Khorne on his ass.


Haha. We all have those sorts of days. The Chaos Gods favored your opponent!

Normally, that list you brought would have toasted the CSMs. I can totally feel your frustration.

Sam and the missing pants (d&d)


So began the life nigel shinypants half plate rogue each time sam bought armor, i stole the pants, always reducing his ac and pissing him off, finally one week his character attacks me, and after passing easy checks I use my first move to throw liquid fire in his face and laughed as he died

Sam never played d&d again

Well, next year is payday.
I've slightly altered the list (I just cannot reason with Banner of Fortitude anymore.. it is in no way better than a lvl 2 Psyker) but I fear he will have by the time then too... Soul Grinders, Demonettes, Daemon Factory, Noise Marines, Heldrakes. But it can't get worse, can it?

One of the guys at my shop (a different army every other month guy) bought a Tau army. Normally that wouldn't bother me, except that I had been on an 8 month losing streak with my Tau, and he wins nonstop wiping out everyone he plays against by the start of his second turn. I played against him with my Tau and him using his Tau and he proceeded to destroy by the end of his turn one. I put all of my Tau in a box, took it to the Warhammer guy that works at our shop and sold it all for $100; I had put $900 into that army. He sold his Tau army two weeks later.

I can't speak for the angriest I've ever been, that's hard to say really. But two weeks ago I got fairly irritated.

I was playing against a new player, very new. He didn't have a handle on all the rules yet and some of his gameplay conceptions were on the flawed side. The biggest issue though was his general complaints throughout the game.

Look. If you're playing Chaos Space Marines have managed to pull together 1500pts but don't have any vehicles then it's your own damn problem. And you don't get to bitch when an Iron Hands player starts throwing drop pods and dreadnoughts at you.

That's just the game. He complained and eventually it started irritating the gak out of me.

New players need a little counseling. I dont think they realize that its their destiny to lose the first few games. This is how you learn. No one explains that to new players well enough.

Thats why some are gun shy about playing new guys. blowing them out isnt the goal but I'll tell you what. Tryng to lose to them can be daunting.

I wanted to play against him. The match was part of a campaign league and he was the only member of the chaos team I'd yet to play against. And I was curious to what school of thought and ideology he'd adopted having so recently joined the game. That raw, uninfluenced mindset is a hard thing to come by in anyone other than the newest players. 10 man squads of Chaos Marines without a transport packing a melt gun and a flamer? Havocs with mis-matched weapons? Huron *NOT* as a Warlord? These might not be good ideas but they're also things you never see otherwise. It felt like I was fighting a genuine war band. Not some former legionnaires that had maintained their training and discipline for the last ten thousand years but some band of astartes that had turned traitor with whatever little they had at hand.

But after playing against me he learned that he'd need tanks, specifically transports. When you get a Dreadnought, two tactical squads, and some sternguard all within rapid fire range by turn two it becomes abundantly apparent that mobility is an indispensable part of the game. I liken the experience on his part not just to my own when I was starting out but when you're a little kid getting a shot from the doctor. Sure it hurts but it makes you stronger.

I don't remember ever getting angry in a 40k game.

I've gotten angry about stuff regarding WH40k though. First time was when some of the Dakkites here described the Bloodtide thing in the Grey Knights Codex using excessively lavish descriptions of what was done to the Sisters. After reading the thread for a few hours and getting madder and madder, I ended up taking my metal Grey Knight Terminator that I painted while at a psychiatric hospital (with a very nice paintjob, too) and basically butchering it, both with red paint and a hobby drill.

Incidentally, some of the stuff in World of Warcraft has gotten me that angry. Only in that case, it was canon, not fans overexaggerating things. Like when the Draenei Priestesses were violated at Aldor Rise by the attacking Orcs, then had their throats cut before being thrown off the cliff. Or when the Orcs used captive Draenei in a cross-breeding program to create supersoldiers with the physical strength of a demon-infused Orc and the magical prowess of a Draenei. Or when the Iron Horde were murdering captured Draenei and Frostwolf Clan Orcs to use their souls to fuel a portal through which to launch an invasion. Or when the Bloodmaul Ogres in the Slag Mines murdered their underperforming slaves by throwing them into fire (that one I have to see happen again and again, every time I do that dungeon) and laughing about it. Or when the Shadowmoon Clan Orcs were murdering captured Draenei to use their souls and blood in rituals to summon an evil entity with which to destroy the primary Draenei temple. Yup, the current expansion has given me a lot of these little moments of burning rage that makes me wish there was a holodeck where I could tear them apart limb from limb, but nooo, I have to be satisfied with clicking little buttons to make the bad guys fall down.

Recently found out that one of the people at my old gaming club has started Tyranids alongside DE and Raptors.

They are cheating as well, saying that Gaunts get a 2+ cover when conga lined to a Malanthrope (should be 5+) as well as increasing the Synapse range of the Malanthrope (not possible).

What annoys me the most is that his main opponent is my good friend, who has extensive knowledge of Tyranids due to the fact that they are my main army (before I moved places) and yet the person (Tyranid player) still insists they are right as they are the rules 'guru'. They also brags a lot saying their army would beat anyone else and that they have too many answers for each army (most likely list tailored to each army) when in actual fact, they disregard the fact that people have answers to their answers and if they went down, they are essentially, screwed. I'm fairly certain he only picked Tyranids up because of all the new stuff they got.

Worst thing is, they are good enough so that they doesn't have to cheat, yet still do.

What made me chuckle was when my good friend and I crafted a 2000 Daemon/Tyranid list with Aetaos' rau' keres and three Flyrants and their response was 'Grav Guns gg', without realising Aetaos doesn't have an armour save and they would have to snapshoot the Flyrants. They could only fluster about and say 'Destroyer weapon, 6 to wound, gg' despite the fact that Aetaos would more than likely destroy the offender. They were not a happy bunny

All over the place

When i first started gaming the flgs i would go to had their gaming room in the back of the store and would prop the door open so we could step out to smoke or whatever, plus let some airflow happen. This was back when i was 13-15 mind you, but my modus operandi at the time was whenever i'd have a die that kept rolling like crap, I'd casually chuck it over my shoulder out the back door and into the wilderness like nothing had happened. Might be selective memory but i really cant recall getting super heated at any time... i might have been obnoxious though, the guys at the store never complained so i guess me 15 years ago wasnt too terrible

I'm guessing by page 4 nobody is going to read this, but the angriest I can remember being is at my first tournament (this was about 4 months ago. I've been playing since late 3rd edition). It was 750 points. I was playing Tau (the only army I have ever played actually) and got to the finals table. My opponent was playing Sisters of Battle (side note: he also happened to be a good friend of mine who played since 2nd edition, but has been to a lot more tournaments and is the kind of guy who plays very well without really being all that serious about the game just through amount of practice he's had).

I was feeling great going into it. My goal was just to end up average or better, and here I was at the finals! I knew I could beat this guy since I've played that match a lot (and have a fairly average W/L against his sisters), but it was going to be a grinder and I'd have to play smart.
Long story short: he got first turn. Top of 1: 1 exorcist blew up my 3+ cover save sky ray, the other hull pointed my 3+ cover save jinking devilfish. Bottom of 1: I do absolutely nothing useful and wait for reserves.
Top of 2: he wipes out the fire warrior squad that got spilled out of the fish and gets the giant celestine/sister blob closer. Bottom of 2: My 2 deep striking dual melta battlesuits come down. One scatters into the enemy and dies, the other gets a pen on one of his exorcists but then rolls a 1 on the damage table. I do nothing else useful.
Top of 3: his outflanking melta squad comes in and pops my other devilfish (with my warlord in it). Celestine charges my general's squad. A 11 man fire warrior squad does no overwatch wounds. He makes charge distance. I scoop.
Total score: I have 1 squad of fire warriors and an ethereal on the table which Celestine was about to charge into. I think I managed to kill a grand total of maybe 3 sisters. I wasn't mad at the loss. I was mad because literally everything that could go wrong went wrong (and honestly wining my first tournament would have been really cool).

After about 10 minutes into turn 1 I don't think I said a word that game. I pretty much put on my best deadpan face and went through the motions. Not a fun experience. Don't think tournaments will be a thing in my future. Although teaching the local "thinks he's the best player ever" guy, who decided to try Tyranids, that yes sky rays can fire all 6 missiles in one turn was enjoyable(2 flying hive tyrants. I had a sky ray and rolled the trait that gave the warlord's unit skyfire. So glad that finally did something).

I once kicked people out of my house. It sounds unreasonable, but:

1. Every game played before it was an exercise in exasperation because we had one rule book and the owner refused to let anyone else read it.

2. It was 2v2 so it was going to be a long game.

3. The opposing team was 3rd edition Necrons and 3rd edition Grey Knights so special rules abounded (Grey Knight player insisted that the vindicare had unlimited special ammunition and a special 8 inch tower terrain that needed to be used.)

4. Both players were "undefeated" and smug about it.

5. They put Nirvana on the stereo and had to crank it up to max levels.

6. Proceeded to sing off key with the stereo.

After 3 or 4 turns I told them to pack up and leave.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy 40k immensely. I play against an Ork player and the Chaos player and we have a good time. But things got complicated and now the Necron player and Grey Knight player can't be in the same room anymore.

So yes, raging idiocy.

Once, way back in the old days of 2nd edition Wh40K, my opponent at the time, who was a generic Space Marine player suicide vortex bombed my Bloodthirster (yes, I'm not sure if that was in the rules, but, you know how things are). At that the red mist descended, and after picking myself off the ground, I picked up my Bloodthirster and threw it full force at him. Not a good day. I surrendered the game at that point as that daemon was worth hundreds of points back in the day and stomped home...

This. I had a game a few weeks ago where my opponent (a store regular at a new store to me) started cheating. Cheating. Come on. It's a fun game. Luckily other store regulars knew what he was like, and started calling him out for me, and listening out for his lies. It is meant to be fun, I you need to win so badly that you cheat, wrong game.

It was an escalation thing. Over a month we had a 750, a 1000, then a 1250. Then there was a 1850 "nothing is restricted, bring your worst" brawl a couple weeks after that. I skipped out on the last big one. I don't own the models you need to compete at that kind of event (I need to get on buying that Tigershark with the big railguns...)

I wouldn't dwell on that loss too much. While dice rolls obviously weren't in your favour, Sisters are brutal in lower point games.

Good to see the Tyranid player taken down a notch. Most people round my meta are jumping on the Nid bandwagon now, partly why I'm reluctant to play with mine these days..

I was in a 1000 point game against a friend of mine and it was my CSM against his Guardsmen. My Terminator Chaos Lord had the Black Mace, had the MoN, and an escort of five completely decked-out Terminators. At around turn 2 or so, my Terminator and Chaos Lord successfully charged the enemy Warlord and unsurprisingly, he single-handedly slaughtered a good chunk of the Company Command. However, he had to pass a Toughness Test he could only fail on a 6 or be removed from play because of the Black Mace. Cue the Lord and everyone else but my Terminator Champ dropping dead.

After that, I became a Khornate

After about 10 minutes into turn 1 I don't think I said a word that game. I pretty much put on my best deadpan face and went through the motions. Not a fun experience. Don't think tournaments will be a thing in my future. Although teaching the local "thinks he's the best player ever" guy, who decided to try Tyranids, that yes sky rays can fire all 6 missiles in one turn was enjoyable(2 flying hive tyrants. I had a sky ray and rolled the trait that gave the warlord's unit skyfire. So glad that finally did something).


Yeah the first time you get close its kind of a bummer. I remember my "almost had it" tounament experience and I just was so sure I could do it. I turned the corner after that game and started actually winning them, but it took that super bowl loss so to speak to get me there so I kinda looked at it as a positive oer the years. It was just kind of the last tumbler that had t ofall into place mentally for me to really "see" the board better.

Play more of them. It gets a lot easier to handle as long as you're pretty much more jazzed about the games you're getting in than the result.

Kay now THAT is an angry action right there. Lol.

I had this same question at my last game. I seriously thought of just forfeiting and after the fact, REALLY wish I had. Im not going to end this post like you did the one above (I won't steal your thunder but this response was really good). But I thought "well... I seem damned if I do or don't" and I played it out and have indeed lived to regret doing it. Both of us would have been happier at the end of the day. I totally feel you. But yeah. you went all out...

When I was young I played golf with my dad. One game I got so angry after duffing a shot that I smashed the club into my bag, snapping the neck. I threw the broken club into the woods. On inspecting my bag further, I found that I had broken every club inside it too. In a furious teenage rage I promptly threw the bag into the nearest lake (phone, keys, wallet and all) and stormed off, leaving my Dad and two of his golfing buddies staring in disbelief. I then had to wait two hours in the pissing rain stood next to the locked car for them to finish their game. After which I had to go retrieve my bag and its contents.

I had anger issues back then, but thankfully I have never repeated such antics over a game of 40k - even when that-fething-donkey-cave-rule-lawyer-guy is ruining the game with niche rule interpretations completely against the spirit of the rule (my biggest current peeve) I now just lose interest and call them game asap and move on.

Never really got angry over a game, a couple of times felt an ass for probably sulking a bit too much when having one of those awful luck games but im normally fine.

Im just glad i never felt the need for pick games with strangers reading some of these stories.

My only real experience of this is in my local BB league, first league season, we had the best part of 15 players loads of enthusiasm from former players and new younger payers like myself, that soon got whittled down, a large part to the then commissioner failing to deal with one guy, a BB veteran who win or lose spoiled your evening.

If he was winning you just had to put up with him being a bit of an ass but if drawing or losing, he would get abusive, accidently chip(if metal) or break(if plastic) your models, either by throwing them about when they get knocked down or hurtling his dice hard straight. at them when rolling.

He also had a habit of cheating if you looked away from the table, normally if someone asked you about a rule.

So second season, the new Commissioner does an excellent job, volunteers to play him the first week, calls him on his "mistake" every time he "forgets"a rule, always in a way that favours him surprise surprise.

After 5 turns of this he starts being aggresive and abusive to our league commissioner, who has kept totally calm, almost crushing some of his figures as he quickly throws his own models into his case saying he will never return to this terrible gaming club.

Ever since our league is back to its best just with less players as the first season, hopefully he sticks to his claim to never return, never seen anything like it from a middle aged man.

i remember going to a tournament once where only 3 other guys showed up. This was upsetting as I had driven an hour and a half to get there.
We decided to play anywayI won one, lost one and my last game was a shoe in against a guy who I dont think had ever done very well and who had never been able to beat me. I was all but guaranteed 3rd place barring the dice gods cursing me. The TO and a few of the other guys wanted to call it after the 2nd game and my first thought was "NO!!!! NOT FAIR!!" Then I thought to myself, " ya know, this guy has never even placed. Worth it to see him win something just once so he can go home and celebrate with his GF".
I said sure, no problem and walked away feeling good even though i had lost.
