Erm, quite easily in fact. Just take a million Broadsides with HYMP & SMS and missile your opponent to death before they even get close.

Or just play them normally..It's not like their other troops are worse, crisis suits are still good.

Yeah I know, but the Broadsides are super awesome and do cause a lot of ridculous chaos.

Yeah, I'm a pretty new 15 year old gamer, and I feel like sometimes I can be a bit of a dick. Like once when my MON havocs rolled 8 1s in a row I took them off the board 'cause... I don't really know why.

I at least realised that i was being stupid though and apologised to the guy after the game.

Any Star Trek starship (and when I say Star Trek I refer to the UFP) could take on a Star Wars vessel. It wouldn't end well for said Trek ship...

Nope, double railheads with a longstrike, an etherial with two squads next too him...but the two major players are my stealth team and piranah which speed out and mess up heavy armour (without using the railheads yet) at that moment the railheads either gos for ICs or shotguns large units too death.

Thinking back, there was a guy at ard boys who asked me what game my figs were from. He called a ref over and snitched "his figs are illegal. He said theyer from some game called rogue trader"

Anybody who says something like that is obligated to immediately turn in their 40ker card.

While I do think it's important for people to learn the history of their hobby, RT was a long time ago. Many players weren't even born yet when it was out. Rogue Trader did play completely differently them modern 40k, and the minis, while looking vaguely related, are quite different in both quality and aesthetics.

For some people, RT (or even 2nd ed) is the stuff of myths and legends. You might hear tales from that weird old guy, but he's probably senile and demented, being over 30 and all. (Renew!) And that's assuming there is a member of the old guard at your FLGS. Not every store is going to have a Living Ancestor there to tell the old tales.

A friend of mine, a 40 something who hasn't played since 2nd edition, recently got back into the game. Back in the day his army was painted to what was then, golden demon standard. they still look good, if a little dated. His army was Space Sharks, composed entirely of RTB01's, classic classic terminators, RT landspeeders, original Predators landraiders, and the wierd looking dreadnaught 'thing' Basically, its an awesome looking army, and was entirely intact, not how you would imagine a 20 something year old army to look (all arms and guns where they should be)

Almost everyone was gobsmacked, and after a few games to get used to the new rules, the local TFG decided he wanted to smash this new old guy. I gave him a fair heads up, but he just shrugged 'its just a game'
The TFG, then declared that his entire army was illegal, because they weren't the current models (so on the whole smaller) the space sharks weren't a codex chapter, so he couldn't use any marine chapter traits and so on, and so on. My friend, just smiled at him, called me over, and since i hadn't started my next game yet (we were halfway through setup, suggested we swap opponents. My opponent and I agreed. He put away his Seer Star, and brought out something a little less competitive (he still won convincingly) and i moved over to the TFG. now i had been going to try to stop a seer star with competitive marines (he was testing out a seer star for a tournament and wanted to try it out versus a hardcore TAC marine list), probably failing hard if i'm honest. so my opponent sifts through his collection of army lists, and digs out his 'versus marines' 1850 waveserpent spam army, the same one he was going to use to destroy the old school beaky army.
Now, maybe a little cheeky of me, but i had just started to refit my Tau army, and i wanted to play it (playing marines versus eldar was a favour) so i took out my O'vesa star force, with 3 nice shiny, and one totally grey no arms, riptides. his mouth moved like a fish, but nothing came out, he refused to play me flat out, because a) i wasn't using marines, and b) he didn't think he could win, so there was no point. someone else stepped up instead, and TFG started to hover and tell us we were playing wrong. I got demolished by a screamer star (ouch) and then played my original opponent, O'vesa star versus Seer star an got demolished again. TFG started saying how tau were rubbish and could never beat Eldar, and how he would have beaten me if he'd played me.

'Pub?' says I, a few murmurs of agreement, and most of us pile into the pub and proceed to get totally smashed. TFG was underage so couldn't join us, and started crying.....

Not cheeky of you at all. He was prepared to tailor his list against you, so its only fair that you counter tailor against him. I'm guilty of making up lists against specific players myself, especially the ones that annoy me or have lists that I think I will struggle against. However I usualy build the lists up at home before the game, so I am making an assumption that they will not radically change their list. The other players do the same as well and I certainly do not object to it. To be honest I think most of us do this as it presents a challenge.

Ah no worroes, its due too posting from a phone, not a big fan of hit and run, i just hang the piranah back in cover and wait for the right time, some guy had a maulerfiend attack a steath suit house, the metla suit lived, jumped and got side armour in sight, then got the piranah in and hit side armour, finished off with a markerlit longstike hammerhead shot.

Too keep with the immature theme the guy called themed army "dog eaters" as he lost.

I remember when I started playing 40K back in the final days of second edition. I usually played with friends from high school (this happened almost 15 years ago) one of our buddies mentioned we should play with this one kid so a few of us went to his house we did know he had a temper when our friend told us of a story of him throwing his land raider crusader after being destroyed by a bright lance mind you this was when those kits firs came out and on top of that this kid was a very good painter and had really well painted models. So as we were playing him his ultra marines get slammed by my one friend playing guard who became a marksman with the basilisk, the kid rages out and goes to his room and leaves us in his house for about 30 minutes alone, since we do not know whats going on we start to pack up and leave when he emerges and asks what why are we packing up we finish the game but never played with him again. Mind you after some foresight it was smart of him to leave as he vented but it would of been nice if he warned us all in all he was a nice guy just not to play with.

This example is me being the immature one I was in a tournament at a local gaming store and I was playing these two kids(I was 19 at the time they were 13, 14) my army was Legion of the damned but army lists for them come and go and by this time I was playing them as normal marines but my opponent would not stop going on how my army was illegal because they looked like legion of the damned no matter how many times I told him that I was playing them as regular marines I eventually got fed up and told him to shut the F*** up this is when another kid came up to me and told me that this will effect my sportsmanship points I told that kid I do not give a f*** I think he was helping ref the tournament funny thing is I got the sportsmanship award for that tournament.

with regards to women in the hobby my fiancee has decided to get into the hobby with me because she knew I wanted to get back into it ,we go to the local GW store and do most of our stuff their and I have noticed some other female players their as well but mostly with their boyfriends and or significant others where my fiancee will go with out me. she has noticed people giving her odd looks and one of her female co workers said "But you are a girl" when her coworker seen my fiancee's models. But all in all she gets along with everyone and they are very nice to her.

Well you certainly tamed his pooch (Maulerfiend).

The Broadsides in my army tend to hang back. Sometimes they do need to move closer a bit to get in range and in those occassions I try to give them markerlight support. The riptide and the single crisis team do all the upfield work for me. In games where that is not possible the riptide hangs back as well. It depends on what army I'm playing against. The crisis team is just a suicide squad to take out any heavy armour in the case that the hammerhead with longstrike fails to deal with it..

Not really immature players rather people just being dumbasses, I collect many armies, I ran a GK army before the Matt Ward update when they got considered OP, so I had been playing them for a few years before, but as soon as the new update came out people started calling out me for "powergaming" by playing GK.

Same thing happened with my Tau army. I bought them a year before the new update and when they were updated and people saw how strong some units were it was considered "powergaming".

Yeah, i use two broadsides (old ones) and they hit into planes before the sunshark gets on.

That's a shame, I've met some actual Wiccans and they're generally a lovely group of people, most of them don't dress like cowboy goths though...

Basically another word for Pagan

The word "pagan" was actually used by the followers of Abrahamic faiths (mostly Roman Catholics) as a broad derogatory term for those who believed in the other various polythestic, shamanistic, animistic and pantheistic religions at the time. It basically meant "stupid heretic who will burn in hell for worshipping false gods".

Was about to post this until I looked ahead and saw your response. Thanks for posting that...not a wiccan myself, but know plenty of folks who follow "alternative" faiths to whom the term pagan is really rather insulting...

Hmmm only really had one opponent like this, mind i don't tend to play anymore. Was adamant his last edition eldar were the most competitive thing around, would spend a good 20-30 minutes telling everyone in the store about how his wraithlord could wreck TWC or 5ed Dragiowing wasn't a match for him.

Mostly (and this applies to any game i'v played really) the thing that bugs me is when people say "don't bother rolling, you won't be able to pass" when you need say, a majority roll of 6's or something. I don't care if I statistically won't get a pass, I don't care. There's this little thing with dice called "luck".

Ha, I wish people would say that to my deathwing....then i might avoid armor saves of hahaha

Was at my friend's house for some casual gaming. My brother was using a fairly basic marine list and giving my friends ork army a pretty sound thrashing, mostly due to lucky dice. Frustrated my friend corners a unit with his warboss thinking he'll turn the game around. He rolls horribly, missing with all of his attacks. My friend turns bright red with rage and shrieks like a wounded animal before grabbing his hard cover rulebook and begins smashing his metal warboss into the table with it. He keeps trying to pound it into oblivion for a good 30-40 seconds until it's pressed about a quarter inch into his wood dining table and torn a hole clear through the back cover of his book and ripped through about a dozen pages. At which point he throws the book across the room and storms upstairs to his bedroom to pout.

This is from a 35 year old man, who was playing a friendly game in his own living room.

My brother and I quietly pack up our stuff and leave in a very awkward silence. In the 3 years since we've declined every offer to game at his place. It was really embarrassing behavior that we don't want to be witness to again.

I'm pretty lucky, I grew up in my father's store so I saw all sorts of types and now I'm in a newer store that's developing a solid group of happy people who love to play. Even when it comes to rules disagreements pretty much everyone furrows their brow and pulls out a book to clear it up, if we can't figure it out or we realise we did something wrong we just make a decision like oh....that was supposed to be difficult terrain.....well, uh, no difficult terrain on those pieces anymore and continue on from there.

The best one I ever remember though had to be my first campaign I ever played in. It was Necromunda, and I was maybe 12 so I played what I wanted tactics be damned. I was a Van Saar ganger rolling around with one plasma pistol and everyone else had shotguns with hotshot rounds, they set you on fire sometimes when you get shot by them. I went up against probably the loudest, most angry man I've ever known. He loved to point out my flaws in my gang and decided it was time to "teach" me how to play by stomping my face into the ground. I somehow fought him down to the last man, having set almost every single person in his gang on fire. I won, and afterwards he threw his guys, who he always made everyone handle like they were made out of gold, into his box breaking about half of them, and then stormed out the store to "cool off" He then came back in and ranted and raved at my father about how the rules were broken and how could he let people play a campaign like this where people would lose to inferior gangs and players. My father then pointed out that maybe the guy should pull his head out of his ass and come back when he felt like being an adult.

Probably the best moment ever, the guy kept coming back though, and his temper was always crazy weird, good guy once you got him to calm down, but man could he rant.

Years ago when I first started I was using the last editon chaos marine book and I was playing against a guy that played nidzilla back when it was stll good. It was probably my 4th game of playing and I had no clue about nids. So I would shoot one of his carnifexes with an auto cannon and when I wounded it, he would tell me that the carnifex got tougher due to some rule. So by turn 3 or so his entire army was like T9 and it got really hard to wound anything.

About tau broadsides, people really underestimate their reach sometimes.

36" range isn't such a big deal, but you move 6" forwards (snapshots don't hurt as much as they could since they're twin linked...and missile drones can shoot the pods at full bs anyway, you did take missile drones didn't you?), then have an ethereal sitting around to give the air invocation that lets them fire snapshots after running (like battle focus...only not quite as good, but a lot more unexpected).

Had a dark eldar venom spam player sitting exactly 37" away from my army (apparently they have some wargear that makes your weapons 6" shorter range or something) and I pulled that one on him.

That was an interesting reaction worthy of this thread to be honest. I said during movement phase "my ethereal gives air invocation" and he just kinda shrugged because nobody expects air invocation (seriously, who doesn't give fire invocation for more pulse rifle shots?) Moved my broadsides 6" forwards, ran them to get 1" further up the board, then started rolling dice to hit. You should have seen the guy's face, he literally started yelling at me that I was cheating and demanded to know how I could do that.

Pulled open the codex to the ethereal page and showed him, then he wanted me to take it back because "I didn't tell him i could do that so he would have stayed further back". At this point I did something I probably shouldn't have and looked straight back at him and just made the "problem astartes" tau face.

Only seconds after letting go of his hand, he gets a weird look on his face, kinda flustered, his attention is diverted, I turn around and see a stunning woman walk in.

She's carrying food, wtf is she doing in a gaming store???

She walks up to me and gives me a kiss, it's food for my gaming partner and I, I hug her, turn to him, wink, and say "I win at life"..

He liked that even less..

he ran out of the store. I was well known for having a really bad temper towards people (never about the game, I took it very lightly)...

Lol. That would have been an epic sight to see.

One time in an apocalpse game, a friend and I challenged a guy who has two Reaver Titans. I took a list containing a farsight bomb with fusion blasters and gun drones, and some Broadsides. The farsight bomb managed to take my opponents squad of Lysander and Terminators down to one wound on Lysander. You should have seen his face when I started shooting with my Broadside SMSs despite him being behind LOS blocking terrain. Killed Lysander and got four victory points for Trophy Kill.

Next turn he charged the farsight bomb with a dreadknight and another unit, since I used shield generator to stop him from shooting my farsight bomb. I hit and run after this and in the next turn I blow his Reaver Titan skyhigh with Fusion Blasters. My firend killed off his other Reaver using wolf guard with meltas and melta bombs. Ah fun times. He certainly wasn't happy.

I find it really sad and destructive when people stamp on their models and throw them!! They cost a lot of money - treat them well!!!

Also I don't mind losing or winning, it is a game, however there is one exception.

Sometimes you play those people who are always touting their units and how good they are and how they are going to smash your so and so's or you HQ's or whatever, and it ignites the competitive streak within you.

Then you loose and see that smug grin on their face and they start heckling you, that is when I hate losing.

I don't see too many women play it, I know plenty who enjoy painting, they just hate the community.
My whole D&D group is made up of women (apart from me) we also played Dreadlfeet and painted dragons- they love dragons, one friend in particular
I can see why they'd hate the community, I don't much like them either

I had a grown adult try to play me with fake dice. Half way through the game when I started noticing how he rolled different dice for scatter than woundind. Grabbed a hold of his dice (not something I would ever do to other players: it's rude to touch without asking). The dice he used for damage had the 1's turned into 3's: he had hollowed out pips and painted them. His Scatter dice had 4's instead of 6's, and 3's instead of 5's. Not all of his dice mind you: only enough to give him an edge when rolling.
