Those stupid things your opponents do to make games horrible

[Dufflious]

Myles? As much as I respect and think you're a hoopy frood, can you please turn the language down a notch? I know it was mild but for future reference.

And I am of the larger size, thank you... Lets not be judging people...

The limit for Space Marines is 100. Wether the extra 50 points is some form of "Deamonic gift" I don't know. Pfft, can live without it.

I haven't played a good game of 40k in a while now. Haven't had chance to go to the GW... Sigh...

[WraithVX]

I'm pretty sure it's 100 points of Wargear (max, all armies I know) and 50 points (max) of Chaos gifts. So giving him more than Daemonic Stature, Strength and Resilience would be pushing if not exceeding it. Hecks, I dunno, I play Marines

[Ultrmarinedude888]

its 150 100 can be Daemonice gifts.

ok so this kid is in cc with me, 1 squad of assualt terminators against my carnifex. he does 5 wounds i save 3 i then proceed to kill every assualt termie.
then, get ready for this,

HE THREW MY CARNIFEX AGAINST THE WALL AND BROKE IT.

luckily, i hadn't painted it yet but it was still hard to put together (first big plastic kit i ever built)
So the kid buys me a new carnifex and is the banned from store.

How did you save the wounds? Both lightening claws and thunder hammers ignore armour saves, and 'fexes can't get invulnerable saves, so how did you save 3? o.O

At the club I go to, the owners have two sons. One I don't know much about, but the other is a cheating, lying prick (he also incidentally plays Black Templars >.>) I think this guy made one of the younger ones cry at one point.

But anyway, allow me to continue with my story.
Or start it at least.

It's two years ago, and the club is running its first tournament. I've gotten through into the second round, and am about to fight the guy mentioned earlier. The first turn took an hour. I swear, I moved a guy 6", and he'd tell me it was too far and I was forced to move him back a little. I fired a weapon and he'd check the rulebook to make sure what I was doing was absolutely spot on with the rules. I knew it was, by then, because I'd been playing for two years by that point. When I blew up his land raider, with a glancing hit (on a 6) he told me he didn't see the dice roll, and made me re-roll it.

We only had three hours to play the game, so we never got it finished. I won on victory points.

My friend had been watching me a lot when I was playing against that guy. He said he'd never seen anyone with more of a murderous look in his eyes. Ever.

The only thing that stopped me gouging out that guy's eyeballs with a blunt stick was the fact his dad was also having to come over every five seconds to sort out another rules debate.

I've never played him again since.

I've been fortunate in only having a few bad opponents such as the young kid who said, "ooh ooh you got owned! youre getting so owned! owned owned owned!" every time he killed one of my models and the the World Eaters player who thought he could give every single model in his army wargear and demonic gifts

[Ultrmarinedude888]

Speaking of the younglings was playing one a few weaks ago.

I had my cheap commander with Lightning claw and storm bolter. I had my pred adnnhilator with bolter sponsons.

i had my dread with a cannon and i had three tac squads with missile launchers adn plasma guns.

and a had a dev sqaud armed with the stuff from the box.

Now he had 3 tac sqauds a 10 man scout sqaud a a beefed up techmarine a beefed up commander a razorback adn a dev sqaud.

Now when i saw he outnumbered me i just saw that his army had maybe a couple more 100points than me. However i didn't chose to argue adn just played the game.

It turned out me and half my dev sqaud a pred with only heavy bolters. And he had a razorback with no twin linked las cannon his tech marine and servitors and half his dev sqaud.

So he won. But i thought it was a good game and i have horrible dice rolling.

i totaly respect good painting, its awsome, and i play to paint, i don't paint to play.people who make fun of other people's work that they are proud of, they just make me pissed.

and is someone threw my carnifex against the wall, i would make a little sceen, make it look like it was over, go home, set up my covered bridge to look wicked creepy, find the uy drag him to my home, and set my emo/goth/punk freinds on him. he would then be fed to my next-door-neibor's parana

[der_Kommissar]

I read through this post and I absolutely feel for everyone who's run into those *special* (read: obnoxious) players. My first real game was with some kid who decided I was an easy mark and that he could get away with taking what had to be at least 500 extra points of stuff. Even with only a very basic grasp of the rules I knew *SOMETHING* was wrong (Uh, why do they outnumber me five to one? (This was tau (him) vs guard (me) just if you are wondering...)

Though I guess I kinda was a mark, beause I decided to take the 'polite' way out and just not say anything and take my cheesy beating with an extra serving of cheese. In retrospect I should have called him out on his annoyingness. Grrr

For the most part though, the people I've met playing are pretty awesome and really tolerant of my pathetic noob self (Uh, how many dice do I roll for this again?)

Just out of curiosity, was the carnifex that got thrown into the wall saved? You could probably take a little green stuff and turn it into a completly awesome wounded model...Just a thought.

no... just no... lets not ever, ever say anything anout that again...


Ow, and also, I was fighting too guys, I was tau, one guy was atu, and the one close to me was IG. 1st turn I destrroyed his basilist and has chimera. the chimera exploded, killing most of the squad inside, half the squad outside, and his commisar. the little wimp gave up, walked away, and then the other tau player destroyed my armie because he wasn't focasing on the IG anymore.

[Kiba]

I don't generally get annoyed by players who are new to the game and ask questions It's a good thing, I get annoyed by those that purposely push their limits.

If anybody did something like that i would need someone to hold me back or i would shove his entire army into various body openings and place a fat bounty on his head. Or get pissed and make him buy a new model. Whichever suits the situation.

[Dufflious]

That's... nice and... stuff.

Anyway, latest thing I heard in the GW, that made me laugh.

There's this kid, new to 40k, and he's got SM's. He's got a Librarion, on its own, which is about to be charged by 5 raptors and a Demonprince. So the Chaos are mesuring out the charge distance, and so SM player goes "Yep, they're within range." THEN MOVES HIS MODEL BACK 2 INCHES.

wth?

[Knight of Fire]

Some kids have turned my local GW into a Day care center. Ill list several of my biggest problems Ive had.

First They act like a bunch of rules lawyers. If you do some legal move. they act like a bunch of idiots and go "No You can't do that!!! " Its preatty much not untill I shove the page with the part that says I can do that do they shut up and even then they try to ignore it. (Example, Im playing a game with another guy using Chaos space marines, I manage to get a Reserve roll and drop in my land speeder behind him to wreck some havoc, all of the sudden 2 of these kids start going "What? OMG you can't do that!!!" its not untill i grab the store copy of the SM codex and show (or at least try to show them) the entry on Landspeeders do they shut up.) They also like to either create rules or try to find loop holes in the rules.

2nd They seem to think that they should give constant suggestions on how to play (("ooh ooh you should move them there!!!" "Ooh ooh, I have a better idea, why don't you SHUT UP AND LET ME PLAY THE WAY I WANT TO!!!!") They also have a bad habbit of going "Ooh your going to lose" or whatever when the game is still at a virtually draw.
3. Their disrespectful to older players, often times, players who have played way longer than they have.

4. If they start lossing, they start throwing a fit.

and 5 is more of a certain case. In this little group is some little spoiled brat that recently joined the stores Challenge Board. I was Scheduled with to play another guy for a challenge token when i get a call from the kid about playing, I tell him "no, Not right now, Ive got a game scheduled with another guy so I won't be able to play you for about 2 weeks. either call me again latter or Ill call back latter after I play this guy to play against you." The little punk figured I forfeited and took my spot before the battle happened (by rules and all you can only challenge people on the same level as you for a challenge token and use those tokens to challenge up to another level) He nearly caused the battle with the other player to be Null and voided because I was knocked down a level. Luckily the guys there came up with some sort of solution, but to say that the kid has not gained a lot of respect would be an understatement.

[Tyranid Fodder]

Now you know why I don't play at the local store.

Reminds me of one of my few games at the store.

I had a brood of Hormagaunts about 6 inches away from a sqaud of marines and its time for the assault phase.

Now hormaguants have leaping so the can assault 12'', and the ones in the back of the brood can even assault 12 inches to reach the back of the marine squad, thats how close they are.

So I start by putting hormaguants in the behind the sqaud and surrounding the poor marines with the 20 some hormaguants.

Some guy was watching and decides to butt in. "You can't do that you have to assault into the closest models first and then move around if you can"

I tell him they can reach but he pushes it, "You have to attack the ones in the front" he keeps saying.

I pull open my codex and show him they have leaping and the gaunts in the back of the brood can reach the back of the space marine sqaud.

"Oh, it doesn't matter then the space marines are screwed." He says and then just walks away.
