"You smell good."

"It's amazing how how your dice always land so close to where you dropped them."

"It's beautiful outside, want to play out there where people can watch?"

"Here, let me juggle your models, it'll be sweet."

"Nah, I brought my own lunch today - I made it too."

"Can we get some ABBA or Prince up in here? My Prince of Darkness model needs theme music."

Mountain Dew? No, I was hoping for some kind of organic fruit juice.

"No, it's ok that you handle my models. Better yet, grab them by the handful and bang them together- just like you, I don't really care about the paintjobs."

"The name of the game is strip 40K, every time you lose a unit you take something off. Winner is the last one with clothes on. Okay, you're up first Large Hairy Man."

"I got into the hobby because it's such a great way to meet girls."

"Sure, go ahead, light up a cigarette and smoke over my models, I don't mind!"

"I'm proxying a bit here. These Grey Knight Terminators are actually Guardsmen, and Draigo is a Primaris Psyker. It's just they're all the Grey Knight models I have, and I don't think you can make a good list with just them..."

I also have to agree with the shower comments before, every LGS seems to have at least a few guys like that.

"I chose my army based purely on the fluff because I love Matt Ward's background stories."

"I really enjoy you moving my models when you use pavane of slaanesh. The broken off bits add so much character."

"Wow, your gunline guard seized the initiative against my fully deployed army. This turn should be great fun."

"I really just want to Forge a Narrative this game."

I am afraid all of your dice are cocked...

"... and so what I did was I called a WAAAGH, and used my Guardsman squad, who were led by a necron warrior, in an assault against the TH/SS terminators, and not only did they win by killing every terminator instantly, but they also captured all five objectives, blew up a warlord titan and proved that matt ward fluff is the best. All without taking a single casualty."

Whelp, you'll never hear that one.

"Wow, this game is balanced"

"I can pick any unit in my army book and it'll be worth taking"

*after the game has finished* "Well......that was tactically rich and complex."

Hey, I've heard that one.

"Good game, I had lots of fun!"

Wow! Grey Knights!!! I've never seen anyone play them!

"We're having a sale"

I've been told "Eldar are op" in a game before. Seriously.

And on topic

"No, it's fine, I like taking psychic tests on 3d6 because of 'Runes of Warding'"

"Broadside Battlesuit Team...

Replace railguns with the following:
Twin Power Swords...Free
Daemonhammer...1 pt per model
Twin PowerKlaws...2 pts per model"

What's with all the girlfriend references? I've got 2 friends who play 40k, both have girlfriends, as do I, Wargaming and women are not mutually exclusive, just use your tabletop tactics to bag 'em.

Back OT;
"What do you mean energy drink?"
"...And then I turned off my computer and had an early night."
"Don't worry, I LOVE playing half painted and badly modelled armies that got bought just to play with the new 'dex."
"You're right, the grey plastic does give your army a unique look"

You sunk my battleship

''Your daemons are way overpowered in 40k. I'd demolish them in fantasy with my wood elves!''

"I forgo shooting with my veterans and charge your Paladin squad"

"Mutilators are GWs best models ever"

Someone actually said this. It was the first game I've watched at hobbytown since I started playing. Somebody was unlikely to be able to charge a fire warrior squad, so I told him it would be better to jump into a building. A store employee just came in, heard me rattle off the statistics for the next 2 turns of that unit, and said "UNBELIEVABLE! Tactics in 40k!!!

Are wargamers really that impolite in person??

The only impolite opponents I've ever had to deal with were the far younger crowd.

I'm still trying to find a way to convince my gf to play this with me. Just one thing in my way is that she doesn't play 40K.

"Let me deep strike my BA land raider. It's too small to mishap."

I love the smell of teenagers in the morning. No, that 1 can of axe/lynx between you totally smells like you've all just stepped out of the shower. Together in fact.

No It's ok, I can see you are a tactical genius, who just happens to be using grey knights/necrons/blood angels. I'm sure you'd win just as easily if you played tau, because genius would still shine through.

Please, don't just walk past the 40k gaming table - start a discussion on a rule you don't know by telling me I've got it wrong. That's my favourite part of gaming. And while you're here, feel free to stand there for the next twenty minutes, occasionally picking up my mini's and gushing about fantasy.

No it's ok, your template may be bent and mine may be pristine, but they are totally interchangeable at the end of the game when mine goes in your bag.

"My broadsides just survived combat with your maulerfeind, they're now going to fail their morale check and escape combat so I can twin link rail cannon your heldrakes bale Flamer out of it's spiked gob!"

...this actually happened to me last night in a game against my brother. We were both in equal amounts of shock.

Actually, that happens to me a lot. Both myself and my opponents said it several times at Cancon this weekend just past...

"Nah... the dice rolls were statistically average. It was my lack of skill that lost me the game."

"yeah, ive decided not to bad mouth GW anymore"

" you shoud have seen this noob on dakka,
he asked how to dry-brush,
luckily I was there to explain the tecnique"

"Ratlings and Ogryns are just too damned powerful, only Rough riders are better."

"That's awesome how your guys Judo chop my tanks to oblivion."
