For example, in my group there is;
The no nonsense, sees himself as a comissar, guard player;
The I didn't mean to cheat player;
The rage quits after turn 2 player;
The my army is better than yours, because it is taudar, player;
The I have never played a game before in my life but I am going to trash talk you anyway player;
The I have way too much money and you can never have enough IK player;
The these are the only models I have so they will have to make do player;
The I will play sometime in the future, but never does, player;
And finally myself, the way too overconfident going into this game player.

What kind of people do you have in your group? I wonder if there will be repititions of certain people within all of our groups.

Well in my group we have the
I've been playing for so long I know everything player

The I am only ever seen wearing the same exact shirt player

The rage quit and leave player

The I'm really huge ,but I will not move at all to accommodate you in this small space between the tables player.

The my army is set up to directly counter your army (proceeds to lose) player

The I don't run legal armies player

The all around nice and cool guy player (that's me)

Well in my group, we have:

Me - The "Keen to play and have at least a half-decent understanding of the rules (at least the ones relevant to and used by myself and my opponents)!" guy.

The "I don't want to use Objectives because I'm too busy learning other rules!" guy.

The "I don't know the rules yet, so help me!" guy. [Got a couple of those haha]

And finally, the 'I'll come back when you know all the core rules, rules for my codex, and can build a list for me!' guy. Weirdly enough, they have all the models they need (most of which are assembled) and the codex.

Literally just started playing again after 10 years so I don't know what player ill be. But being a nids player ill be the guy being anal about every single bit of cover, where it's placed, how much and what type there is, what counts as in cover and what doesn't. And rage when the dice doesn't roll properly

Fortunately for me my group is pretty good, if anyone is the 'I didn't mean to cheat guy' it's me haha... I have a very selective memory when it comes to rules.

The heretic!
The other heretic!
The elusive heretic!
The clauset heretic!
The Xenos scum!
That different shaped Xenos scum!
And the suspiciously similar but equally disgusting Xenos scum!

That about sums it up

I might the Commissar, ish, my Kriegsmen are casually discarded and sent to slow down the enemy so the Earthshakers can shell in piece.

Same deal with my Scions, they jump in the enemy face, murder something and then die, more often than not. But when they can drop at the same, its glorious.

Oh. Where did I post this then?
(I need to pay attention to what I am doing)

In my group there are:

The "I'm just here for the beer" players.

The "I stopped playing GW games after 2nd ed 40k" players.

The "^^ That used to be me, now I just play epic" players.

The "I'm playing for sheep stations" players.

The "This game has broken units and I spam them" players.

The "this game has no broken units and I can't win /tableflip" players who changes his chosen game month to month.

Over in one corner, being quietly ignored - the AoS players.

The I am only ever seen wearing the same exact shirt player

isn't really a thing at this club - we have club shirts, that's what they are for, really.

That sums it all up for me too I dare say. Also add the machine loving mecandrite augmented robed one

There's the handsome on, very popular with the ladies. He plays on this.
There's the one who is quite ripped, penchant for bling; hates flying, general Bad Attitude.
There's the mad one always banging on about planes and helicopters.
Then there's me: older and more mature, greying hair, I make all the plans. I love it when they come together.

No one knows where we are, but if you need us and you can find us: We're the Game Team........

Our group as a happy bag of D .

We're all friends first and opponents second and all know how to razz on each other with regularity. I would also say we don't have some of the social awkwardness you might find in some clubs which is highly enjoyable.

The 'Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!' player that plays Twilight Kin in Kings of War.

The 'I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm learning fast' player. (I married the woman. Now she's the 'I know what I'm doing' player - and she does. Our shared dwarf army is now pretty much just hers.)

The 'Imma gonna let the Twilight Kin suck up all the damage so my Orcs have a better field' Orc player. (She married the Damn the Torpedoes player.)

The 'My army is scrounged from the leftovers of other people's boxed sets, but I am still gonna kick your arse with it!' player. (The only player besides my good lady that beats me on a semi-regular basis. His army is Ratkin, and left over from other people taking the Elves from Island of Blood.)

The 'I'm going to win most of the time, but I'm going to brag about the times when I lose' player. (Me.)

The 'I'm gonna lose, but it's gonna be fun!' player with Goblins.

The 'I'm gonna lose, but it's gonna hurt!' Varangur player. (Who is the same player as the Goblin player....)

The 'As long as I don't have to paint it!' player. (Her army is being painted by pretty much everyone else in the group.)

The Auld Grump

Lots of married folks, these days.

Our club is rather laid back and well-mannered when it comes to gaming. Definitely some characters though.

-The hipster who just wants to get is painted toys on the table, known for forgetting rules alot. Who could that be...

-The Military history guy. Has 1000's of naval ships and 3mm historicals that will never see a table.

-The quiet guy who actually knows the rules and wins more than you'd expect.

-The newbie who's just happy to be there and full of enthusiasm.

-The older guy who's just glad to find adults who enjoy laid back play.

-The dude who's wife hates gaming, but keeps sneaking prodigious amounts of gaming stuff into his house.
