Those stupid things your opponents do to make games horrible

[Ordosanguis]

i was playing a game with my friend at school (in a club) and this girl walks up and says "What is all this? You guys say we are stupid for playing with dolls and stuff, but you're here playing with some stupid little action figures!" then she went into a mock deep voice, grabbed the tape measure out of my hand and was playing around with it, saying "Look at me, i'm going to move this guy here, and shoot at this guy..." etc. then she started moving the models around, and i was like "Well if it is so stupid then why the hell are you even here messing with them?" and i took my stuff back. she kinda walked off after that

I think thats funny... but my humour gland was ripped out with my warhammer gland... (RE: Never ending story). I prefer our Vets nights... Someone walks in and says all this stuff about us being geeks and stuff. And we're like "Yea, but how sad do you have to be to WALK IN HERE and mock us?"

I hate people '-_-

that reminds me of when i took my minis to school, to go and play a game after school at a friends place.
i showed my minis on somewhere in school, and then a bunch of 'pimps' came, took my minis and threw with them and stuff and yelling things like "boom! he's dead".... my rocket launchers backpack fell of and the flamer dude lost his flamer... but at least i could repair that...

Please, don't get me started on stuff that happens at school...

Ah, what the heck.

Okay. Last year, we had this "activity week." I know, sounds a little childish. But that's not the point. One of the things we could do is go play 40K for half the day. So when I went along, there were about four people, myself included, who could play. Me and two of the others had brought minis.

Halfway through, the teacher who was "supervising"(sitting back and going to sleep) told us to let this random guy who didn't know any rules at all to deploy some Grey Knight Terminators he had somehow borrowed... Directly behind my army. Of Imperial Guard? Well, after he makes up some random rules that made no sense, essentially making each Terminator more effective that a Titan, we sort of had to stop.

Then, predictably, at the end, there's some random Year 7 who's been running back and forth between the table where he's playing and a box on the teacher's desk, taking random models and shoving them on the board. His army probably ended up at about 10000 points of Ultramarines. He started with about 1000. And he was adding them as him and the other guy were playing, another guy who had only just started playing, and still somehow, the guy who was adding to his army would have lost.

The moral of this? Don't play at school, unless there's a dedicated club.

And of course, there's always the person with Daemonhunters'Witch Hunters using Spirit of the Martyr on someone with a unit of Grey Knight Terminators, then not letting you concede even when all you have is a Basilisk and two men left. Grr.

Heres a new one...

Vets night on Thursday, I brought my case down, I hadn't for a while. Played against someone with Grey Knights. 1500 pts, but I got to use my new Character I got from Games Day. Basically, 200 points, LC and Storm bolter.

EVERYTHING in my army is decimated in 3 turns, other than my special character who's on one wound, and a guy with a heavy bolter and a sargent, who, I might add, are half way across the table. The git with the grey knights surrounds me with a Land Raider W/ Bolters, a group of Guard, some marines, A Term... guy.. A rhino and a drednought.

He moves his Drednought in. Instead of being nice and letting me decimate some of his marines first. He said "I want to go home, do you give up yet?" "Pfft, no, come on, kill me with your dred" This is a dred with a lascannon and missile launcher, so one str. 6 hit. Baring in mind I have a lightning claw, which can't hurt the Drednought. My dudes got Term Armour and a Iron Halo.

Hit, Wounds, Saved.
Hit, Wounds, Saved.
Hit, Doesn't wound.

Okay, so thats the game over. so I say "No, keep rolling, I want you to kill him." "but I want to go home!" "You're not gunna let me kill some marines before he dies, i'm not letting you go home"

Hit, wounds, saves.
Hit, wounds, saves.

This goes on till about turn... 25....

"Fine! We'll call it a draw!!!"

Ahh, no other form of sweet victory ^^

I have a dedicated club of Warhammer at my school. About halfway though a bunch of people came to heckle , and I just slammed the doo of the room we were in in their face . Up to that, people had been bugging me all the time and giving me a lot of crap. A lot of people came to play, though, so it was cool.

[fear_the_earthshaker]

There's this nut at my gaming meet who calls himself Tacklebox. O_o He plays tyranids and uses 3rd edition models AND A 3RD EDITION CODEX! He cheats in every way it is possible to cheat. One game, when I was just starting before i really knew the rules, I had six six-man squads of marines, he has a large brood each of termagants and genestealers, plus a lictor an biovore. He maintains that the biovore has a 4+ armor save, and that the lictor can appear, assault, and then vanish before I can fight back.
Another time (when i had my own army and knew the rules) he said that warp field lets him shoot my own shots back at me. Lucky my friend with the right codex was nearby.
On top of all this he is a horrible sport and repeatedly says things like "you're dead" and, hey someone play me i need something for my monsters to eat. All his stuff is painted with rather random swatches of red and white and he only has about 750 points. I now have 1000 and am hoping to get some armor for Christmas. Then I'm going back and showing him the Iron Warriors don't take any crap from cheaters.

I've played people like that. I once played a guy with orks using 2nd or 3rd (dunno wich) edition rules..weird boyz and a whole lot of other stuff....a grot cannon too..before i knew what was hapenning he had a foot template on the field and my force commander had a grot in its helet eating his face..oi. ..the visual was still funny

I don't know about you guys, but I HATE random-crappy paint jobs. When somebody comes in, and every guy is randomly splotched a different color, it is really annoying. Am I the only one who is bothered by it?

[ragingpotato]

If you ever see a platoon of rather poorly painted guardsmen each painted in a different style of "camouflage" blame either me, or my friend for letting me practice painting with them

i used to paint every marine in a different color, because i found an army with nothing but the same colors looks boring and stuff.

[ArchDuke of Macragge]

I don't mean thats bad, I mean when a a guy has like a blue/black random splatched guy with all this grey area and pewter models with black armour and head and it just drives me nuts.

[Dufflious]

I'm guilty of playing unpainted models, but it winds me up when people do it. nothing is better than an army ready for battle... Nothing I say...

[Bad Karma]

Actually, I dont mind when someone plays with an unpainted army, as long as it doesnt stay that way. (Like me!!) I'd rather have the person work their way up to a halfway-decent paint job, as long as he doesnt take four or five years and his army is assembled. I have about half my Tau painted now, but every unit i use is assembled, and its all cool by my buds. Though I have a unit of scouts that has yet to move beyond the 'white basecoat' stage, so I say they where dug out of an ice crevice- which could be the case, as I have the SM 2nd Ed rulebook so I joke the scouts where chipped out of the ice of the past with the rulebook. (I live in north dakota just for reference- the winters here suck...) My biggest tich is proxying and asanine gameplay- you know, rushed turns, assuming you know all the rules of their new army or complaing you take too long- ITS A STRATEGY GAME!!! I like to think it involves more then just 'point the loud end at the enemy' thinking. Some of the folks i play against have trouble grasping that, much less, 'hey, if we move, we cant shoot our rockets? duh herrrr...' Morons. Even worse, those that KNOW how to play the game... kick me arse every time... is there no middle ground for this poor, sad, yet to win more than one game, pathetic soul? we may never know... lol.

[Myles]

you guys are gonna love this, especially you guys who play chaos.

Some fat forker and his friends come into the local hobby town USA and start playing a game on two tables, a big no-no where i come from. what makes it worse is that NOT A SINGLE MODEL ON THE TABLE WAS PAINTED. Now, after that fight was over, my friend, Alec who's a painting god in my opinion, faces off against the first kid, it's a Chaos v. Space marines w/ GK allies. Alec knows the rules and plays fair, naturally. But the other kid apparently fails to realize that their's a limit to wargear on every model. I beleive it's 150. He decides to load his Greater Daemon with about four times the amount of allowed daemonic gifts. He also gave every other guy in the army master-crafted weapons. go figure. Needless to say, this kid didnt know the rules. I didnt stay to see the outcome, but from what i heard the next week, Alec just packed up and left.

In addition to being a complete dick-hole, we're pretty sure that this pube and his friends stole a sheet-load of blisters during the holiday season.

Talk about being a complete n00b asshole.


BTW, anyone who doesnt know the rules and insists on playing Daemon hunters, deserves to be raped in the face with a shotgun. They're such a massively powerful army and those forkers who dont know how to apprieicate them and harness their potential shouldnt be playing them. i feel dirty just thinking about what foul hands have touched the blessed armour of the Grey Knights.
