Most stupid things you've seen in the 40k universe?

[13thCoWulfen]

The title says it all.

For me though, I have two.

Firstly, durring the horus heresy sanguinious was silly. He chose to be strangled before giving into desire... only later do we find out that horus dies, and that he could have killed the emperor and saved the imperium from its current state had he chosen chaos....

Secondly, a player who wouldnt shut his mouth. A player at my GW made a claim that his blood angels were unbeatable. now, I had never played the guy, but I figured what the hell? I tell him next week I'll put him up against my 13th company. He asks what the hell 13th company is and I direct him to eye of terror. He buys the codex. I leave after giving him my email because generally I like to help people out when they are inquisitve about 13th company. Its important to note that this entire time he almost only talking about how much his blood angels would trash my army. He emails me 3 days later to tell me only that my army is screwed. I get emails throughout the week from him telling me my 13th company might as well just be thrown away they are so useless against his force...

So finnaly I face him. 2000 point game. He goes over the point limit a little bit (maybe 27 points) but I really dont care. We play on the 6x4 urban board. I wont give a battle report, but lets just say that I was on top the whole game. Finally I kill his chaplain (I think it was a chaplain... his best HQ basically) and he freaks out. He starts cursing and shouting... there are kids watching the game. He gets banned from the store. He left shouting that I didnt win lol. Winning didnt really concern me, I just thought he was a freaking loser for flipping out.

So how about you? Whats the most stupid thing you've ever seen in 40k?

[Starblade]

My Force Commander had a bad day. First his Chapter Banner falls off, then his right arm with his bolt pistol. He is now nicknamed "One armed Bob" for the battle. He then goes and slays two squads of Defenders (Eldar) in assault, rushes forward, pokes a Wraithlord in an attempt to harm it (no chance), then gets stepped on. Three times. His remains are then smeared on the side of my crippled Vindicator, which is then shot to death by Dark Reapers, right where Bob was smeared. Poor Bob.

Also, I play Space Marines. I like to think of them as Hiigaran Space Marines. So I go into the game store and announce that my Hiigaran Space Marines are going to enter the tournament. Lots of weird :wtf: looks followed, then laughing, then the damning of Hiigara to Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, and every other Chaos god out there. Then, in the tournament, they got into a big argument over who gets to devour the Hiigarans' souls, and beat each other up, while my Marines are sniping them with Land Raiders. I managed to get third place, beaten by a Dark Eldar player, and in First, another Space Marine chapter.

[mpjesse363]

lol i have had a similar experiance with blood angels players

i play bt possibly the most powerfull loyal cc army that is if the damn 13 co would have stayed in the eye of terror lol.

but dont tell this to a ba player they get very angry and want to rape your house and burn down your mom.

any way the dude was pissing kerosine because i whomped a khrone berzerker army in 5 turns with 2000 pts apice {the dude had lost to that army earlier in the day}

he tells me that i was lucky and that his ba only lost because of bad rolling i said ok and then asked if he would like to play a friendly game ... lol yeah friendly "some people need girlfriends" the dude challenged every bt special rule i used from my vows to my emp champ

in 3 turns i had killed 900 pts of his 1000 pt army lol gotta love deep strikeing termies

guy gets pissed and says i cheat at this point store owner tells the guy to get a life and pack up , he is chaseing off coustomers

i smile in satasfaction thinking about it lol

the most stupid fluff is the killing off of the squats

[archon god]

ok we were having a 2000pts game and it was a part of a turnament me and a few of my freinds put together in the 2nd round a ork force met a space marine force the orks feilded 40 grots and a bunch of other stuff the sm had 10 termies on the feild
in the 2nd turn the grots assulted the termies and got cut to pieces because of there low inititiave and only had like 20 grots left then when it was the grots turn the kid rolles everything one diece at a time i hate that kid but he hits with the first grot then wounds it killed a termy and the sm kid gave up and quit right then and there

[mpjesse363]

lol god were they 8?

[HeraldofNurgle]

Rolling ten 2+ saves and getting eight ones.

Suffice to say, those dice do not exist anymore.

[mpjesse363]

lol yes a sacrifice to the ever fickle dice gods

[Farseer]

man... imagine if that loser did win. He would probably just brag like nuts until you want to kick the crap out of him in the store.

[Strybjorn]

Hmmm, the stupidest thing I ever saw in a game of Warhammer 40k. Let's see. A squad of 14 Khorne Berserkers, led by Kharn the Betrayer, taking on a squad of 5 Death Company Marines led by a chaplain. In the end, the only one left standing was a single DC marine, the chaplain and Kharn killed each other, and the DC tore through the KB's. That last damn DC marine alone took out 6. It was INSANE!!!!!!! :duck:

[Lord Johan]

The most strange and amazing thing i saw was an IG player goin against a K World Eaters Army. A couple turns in when A group of KB are goin against 30 gaurd the first turn 10 gaurd die and then on the IG turn the guy rules 20 of The World Eaters players dice and get 17 6s and the others were like a 3 1 and 4 the dice all hit and kill all 16 world eaters in that squad the world eaters player flips out packs up calls the guy a cheater and rushes out of the store my god wat a panzy. but amazing roles..... my god that was a amzing thing. :argh: :werd:

[Farseer]

have i told you once i took control of a termagant and i sneaked behind 20 Imperial guardsmen and went hand to hand and killed all of them? No bullshit.

[Jono]

Maybe not the most stupid but certianly one of the most anoying... the first time I ever used my Terminator Squad I rolled three 1s to hit with my Assault Cannon (Jams) then I think they got cut to peices by a squad of firewarriors in assult. Go figure! I guess it's that old rule, "New models alway die" in my case, horribly!

[Lord Kraine]

remmeber a fatal assault of my grey knight terminators against poor weak gardianns.. luck was not with me ... got only 1 on each dice !!! All death :(.
Just after my "simple" grey knights just shoot down all of them :)

[BlackSeer]

Dice rolls that turn out to ruin your perfect strategy is always fun, been laughing so much when the lovly dice gives me problems .

[Albrek]

the craziest thing ive had happen, is my single Tau Fire Warrior Shas'ui, who was not running, got assaulted by a vindicare ( i think) assassin, vindicare misses, Shas'ui hits, wounds, and kills it, assasin explodes, Shas'ui is unharmed

and it was before i got Farsight, so not even Ork Fighter ;) lol

[JumpPackBoy!]

The craziest thing Ive ever seen is when I was playing against a BA guy at my local GW store. There was this dad with his kid in the store and the dad was lookin at some stuff to buy, I had just killed the BA's Tycho character whoever the hell that is with my Kharn(I LOVE KHARN!) Anyways the guy sits Tycho over to the side, and this little kid(i think he was around 5) comes up picks up Tycho and then puts it in his mouth and tries to swallow it. The end result kid choking on a metal figure, 2 guys yelling at idiot kid, and one store clerk trying to help the kid. In the end he spit it up along with some lunchables......

[BlindProphet]

Stupidest thing I've seen?

Thats easy. Tau vs Eldar in a cleanse. They sat there.. in thier respective corners doing prety much nothing. They barely moved (if you considder moveing on their deep strikers/infiltrators into the other board quarters moveing) till turn 6 when there was a little bit of fighting because the eldars swooping hawks came in and killed the stealth suits due to realy crappy rolling on the tau players part. Stupidest. Game. Ever. One of the guys who worked there said you know that game never happened, thats not a game, i could have sat there and played it by myself you two are pathetic.

Though other than that the stupidest thing is the shruiken catapult(or whatever the main gun of the guardians is) of the eldar (and alot of other eldar stuff but lets just take this into consideration for now). I mean come on, why do little throwing stars have the same power and AP value as a Bolter round when said bolter round is a explosive round the size of my fist? Sure theres probably a good amount of throwing stars in the air as opposed to maybe like 5 bolter rounds. Now also compare this to the DE weapon which fires razor blades instead, why is the one with razorblades weaker than the shiruken?!?!

[Master Chief]

Seeing as the Shuriken Catapult can launch 100 razor sharp projectiles per second at extremely high velocities, I think the weapon profile is just right.
Anyway, I have 4 Dark Reapers and 1 Exach. Every time I have my Dark Reapers fire, one of the normal ones ALWAYS misses. In every game, in every roll, I always get two 1s. Always.:lol:

[FeloniousPunk]

I think I've posted this elsewhere, but this is a proper thread for it...

I'm playing against my buddy's Orks on a Patrol mission, and I disembark a squad of my Dark Angels on a hill in the center of the table to establish control over the center. He rushes a wartrukk full of trukkboyz up to me, which doesn't quite make it to my squad so he leaves his boyz in the trukk. I'm thinking, easy peasy, these guys are so slaughtered. My veteran sergeant shoots the wartrukk with his plasma pistol, which penetrates and blows it up totally... and then my squad gets caught in the blast, I roll eight wounds against my own guys, and fail five saves. Half my squad is wiped out from this, and only one of his boyz is killed. Talk about having your plan blow up in your face.

[Lord Maugan Ra]

Anyways the guy sits Tycho over to the side, and this little kid(i think he was around 5) comes up picks up Tycho and then puts it in his mouth and tries to swallow it. The end result kid choking on a metal figure, 2 guys yelling at idiot kid, and one store clerk trying to help the kid. In the end he spit it up along with some lunchables......
GROSS!
I would have bought a new Tycho

[Kaldaris]

hehe stupid child :Slap:

ps:I'm evil I know

[Southpark]

stupidest thing ever saw, so a guy at the store wants to play a new army, legion of the damned or something.. something w/ zombies or whatever, doesn't have all the models yet, so he says "i'm using these dice as proxies ok? we're all like.. uh.. not such a great idea.. but whatever"..

...halfway through the game he realizes he has picked up half his army and is rolling them around (as regular dice) and tries to figure out which ones were proxies...

[Chaos Lord]

:lol: @ southpark
now that is the best ive heard

[Lord Maugan Ra]

lol
that is really stupid

[mpjesse363]

yeah lol most proxy gamers in general are pretty dumb but that takes the cake

[archon god]

oh yeah another stupid thing i have seen
well it happend to me
ok i was playing against a i.g. army and i got 2 talos into cc both still had 3 wounds each i assulted and rolled to see how many attacks 1 puls the charge for the first and one plust the charge for the second. 3+ to hit and all 4 hit the 2+ to kill out right and i rolled 4 ones then the kid attacks back 20 attacks on each talos(ogrins)
4+ to hit he hits 17 on one and 14 on the other the omne with 17 he needs 6+to wound 9 wounds on there first one then the one with 14 hits wounds 5times both talos die it pissed me of so badly.

That really sux :claw:

[Dimension]

christ people. PUNCTUATION!

[Starblade]

Angel of Hope has a Baharroth, Cry of the Wind. It entered cc with my Force Commander, before he lost his arm, and due to it's Sustained Assault ability, rolled 87 wounds against me. Only 4 wounded. Unfortunately for Baharroth, my FC had bionics and I rolled a 6, only for him to be hacked to death again the next turn.

Way to fail, FC!

[Lord Maugan Ra]

christ people. PUNCTUATION!
Sorry. :bow:

[bleedingbass]

crazyist things i've ever seen.

1. my leman russ tank and my friends drednought fire las cannons at eachother for en entire day-long game (like 8 turns) without eather one of us suffering a single hit.

2. first time i used my space marine army i swear i rolled 1s and 2s for everything. shooting, armour saves, assaults

3. playing a 2v2 game with some friends and one of my friends little brother. sometime halfway through the game we wipe out the little brother's fire warriors with a well placed ordinence blast. the kid gets so upset that he repeatedly rams his head against the wall. next thing you know theres blood everywhere. true story that scared the heck out of the rest of us.

[Athair]

1) Seeing a Monolith scatter 12" off the board (only way it can die from deep strike)

2) Watching a squad of Grotz take out a Bloodthirster of Khorne :D

[Master Chief]

Another few things I saw that I thought were funny.
1. I was in a 3v3. It was me as Eldar, Tyranids, and Dark Eldar vs Orks, SM, and more SM. The Orks guy has so many units he takes up half the table, and this is a big table. He must have 200-300 guys. It tales him 30 minutes just to set up. Then he moves, with takes another 30 minutes. :lol:
2. In the same game, I have my Wraithlord shoot a Starcannon at 3 of his Orks. The Starcanon is a SM killer, should be easy kill, right? I rolled three 1s. That really sucked.

[Thalasion]

i rolled 7 1s one time, thats pretty stupid.

[Tarod]

Grand Master of the Dark Angels with Sword of Secrets and Termi armour. Clubbed to death by a single Firewarrior. Painfull, painfull, memories.

[Exetus]

Rolling for railguns with markerlights...

10 dice needing 2+

9 ones.

the 4 i rolled to hit...

1...

And what people don't understand about Blood Angels is that they are only good in the initial assault. Yes their Librarian, Honor Guard and Chaplain are kick-ass and the Sangy HP can save more people than Jesus, but after the first turn of assault, they are normal marines again. Their saving grace and yet their greatest curse is the Death Company.

I've had games where I've had as many as 20 Death Company because of stupid rolls. And what happened? I lost 1/2 my termies, most of my scouts and my assault squad. THAT was stupid.

[Thalasion]

Another stupid one i've seen is my friend went to roll a dice and whacked his hand on the side of the table and dropped the dice on the floor.

[bleedingbass]

oh here's a funny one i saw...well sort of.....

i was in my local games store waiting in line to check out. the guy in front of me was trying to return at least $100 worth of IG stuff because he claimed that he didn't know you had to assemble and paint the miniatures.

[Chaos Lord]

you think roleing 7 1s is stupid?
i was playing my IG once 90 lasgun shots (my troops got rapid fire) i got at a lagre world eaters...
about 10 of them actualy hit and even less bezerkers died...

[kais 54]

well listen to this i was playing 2 on 1 space marines aginst choas marines we all had 1000 pts anyway the boy on my team had cahpians a unstopple army and i had brought my dreedie 2 assualt squads (max num kfor each squad) a force commander anyway he is just shooting at a defiller because of the big gun on the front and he just kept on getting immoblisied results while my army was getting the **** getting kicked out of them

[Lord_Maccarage]

I dont really have a single funniest moments, more funny themes of gaming:
1.Chaos Lords with bionics. I remember the same guys lord ressurecting almost every time he was killed. Once he had been shot at by a lascannon when only his head was showing. next turn- he gets back up
2.Me taking an ultramarine army continuosly when almost everyone i played against used biel tan sm killers. the armies were almost identical: avatar, wraithlord, 2 units of dark reapers, banshees.
3. a terminator vs chaos terminator melee. huge number of dice rolled, both sides going more or less simeltaneously as most had power fists. end result? in one turn every model died.

[Bel-Sengwar]

Well I regularly play against at SM player at our local club.
He now uses a Death-Angels like army but befor he used a regular one.
His Force-commander ( I think, its his general anyway), which normally is a though guy to take down and a mounstrous killing machine, was apparantly cursed by the Dice-gods, because he always got poor rolls. Once He got stuck in the middle of a guardian unit (I play Eldar), had four attacks to bear, ..............................., and up came four ones! That's not the only time he screwed up. In fact, he missed so many times in I don't know how many games that my friend stopped using him and bought a Chaplain instead.
After a while he took some time to refresh his army and finish painting them. The Force-commander got a new look (his hair went from dark to white, for one thing -with age comes experience? Or simply getting older fats from the chock? lol)
and Lo and Behold, his dice-rolls suddenly improved!
He now has regained some of his status as an Eldar-killer...But not enough in my eyes!

One other thing that happenned me: While I though it was funny, I don't think my opponenet tought so.
We were playing a 2x2 game: Eldar + Eldar vs Tau + Imperails.
In total it was a 2000 pts game, i think. Meaning 500 per player. I had two units of guardians and with HQ, and some jetbikes. In front of me was the Tau player, with a unit of Fire warriors, two battlesuits and a general in that unit. What you would call an "über-unit".
We got the first tur. I advanced my army and my Jetbikes sped towards the Firewarriors. They shot several and then charged, killed some more, and got the rest fleeing, despite the general's presence and Leadership. My Jetbikes advanced so they stood behind the battlesuits.
These chose to fire on the other group of Edar on the other side of the table, deciding that my jetbikes were not a threat.
A dire mistake...
My jetbikes fired upon the suits, killing one, and kiling another in close-combat. the general was unable to wound the riding guardians, AND AGAIN failed a leadership-test, causing him to flee and be overrun by my glorious bikes.
In conclusion, my three jetbikes made dogfood of the entire Tau force in two turns!!! ( or maybe three, I don't remember)

lol

[chocolate]

I have a few funny memories... but most are for other game systems (you wanna hear funny? Three units of grots taking out a fricking imperator titan with no void shields is funny...).

[Arkiane]

My funniest moment was a cc between my Wraithlord, and my buddies BT marine /w a power fist. 1st roundof combat wraithlord charges FLAIL! no hits! SM /w powerfist FLAIL! No hits! 2nd round WL 1 hit ... no wound, sm FLAIL! 3rd round WL FLAIL! SM 2 hits ... again no wounds. 4th turn, 3 gaurdians charge in and kill the marine in 1 turn :Slap:

[Stormblade]

Funniest moment wasnt 40k... but in a fantasy game with my wood elves. Saw a nice unit to fire at, weak armour and in plentiful supply... easy VP I thought. Hero fired hail of doom arrow at them rolled my 3 dice for shots and split into 18 arrows! great I thought and promtly rolled 18 1's :(.
Although I remember firing most of my guard army at terminators... heavy weapon and special weapons fired... fairly high amounts of self-charred guard fell on the table before a squad managed to bring down all the termies with carefully placed lasgun fire...

[UlfThunderclap]

One time at a GW store I see a group of younger players, They all had, 1 Specail Character, one box of troops, and a vehicle, I look at one who has, Karn the Betrayer a 8 man unit of Bezerkers and a CAMO rhino. I asked him "Whyis that Rhino camo?"

He said, "YOU SHOULD GET YOU EYES CHEACKED!!"

"Dude, I just asked about your tank."

Also, The younger gamers alwas end up in a yelling match.

[Chaos Lord]

lol thats the sort of thing my 11 year old brother would say
make a small comenet about some thing that dosent seem right and he'll go into a frenzy :D

[Dark Watcher]

ok, this one is ancient. It was about 10 years ago. I'd been playing wh40k for all of a couple months and decided to have a bit of a game with a firend who'd also just got into it.

I use a tactical squad of Dark Angel marines (the plastic marines from the game box painted rubbishly) and a dreadnought.

He takes a group of genestealers and a hive tyrant. (very small skirmish.

Due to inexperience he loses 90 percent of the genestealers covering the ground between us (didn't use cover). Finally gets there with one stealer in tact.

We'd use the follow up move rule after he won a hand to hand but did not realised that you only follow up once...
In one turn he wipes out the entire tactical squad and damages the dreadnought with one stealer!

Not stupidest i've seen but very stupid from both of us.

[Cashew]

I have only sat and watched, never played. There was an extremist kinda player (you know the kind, has the carry case and everything). Was playing a 12 year old kid, he thought he had this brillant new strategy and that he was gonna crush the poorly painted Ork army. Well let's just say the Brillant Necron plot was foiled. The extremist then slouches over in his chair (a man, probably early twenties) and begins bawling into his hands. Quote "I wasn't crying, I was just angry"

It was great

[Dante]

Ever fight a WHOLE intire proxy army? Yeah i was at a comic store near (it sould comics but gamesworkshop stuff too, and some otha random things) and this guy there had nothing but proxy models...I decided that battling him would be stupid but anotha guy decided to take him on...That was both stoopid and funny. The prxy-man kept on changing his mind on what stood in for what or kept on forgettin...the otha guy lost his patience at end of turn 2 and packed up and left...hahaha :bandit:

Oh yeahin EoT last year, i was at oen of the events and there was this horribly fat person...and he smelled like...i dunno...he smelled really bad. You know when a fat kid doesnt wash for a few days and that smell acumalates to like horrible bo? yeah this guy smelled like that to the tenth power! Anyways, It was nurlge against IG. Each player was assinged a squad and the fat guy gets the greater deamon of Nurgle....HAHAHA my friends and I craked up! the rest of the day we called the guy papa nurgle...haha

[Russian Ninja]

Well once I managed to destroy a monolith with a Fire Dragon armed with a Melta Bomb, despite needing a triple six to do it. That was a little crazy. I don't really have many destinct memories of crazy stuff happening, but every game at least one stupid thing has to happen (ie. Termies beaten by Grots, Hive Tyrant beaten by Conscripts, etc.) The most recent one I can think of was when we were using the new rules (the trial 4th ed ones). Now under the new rules, sweeping advance is based on initiative. Well this guy (Eldar) was playing Dark Eldar and his Striking Scorpions got in a far bit of trouble. They had an Archon and his Incubi, a squad of Wyches plus a squads of Warriors charge them. However after the combat dragged on for some time, eventually the Striking Scorpions managed to win a combat (by this time all that was left was the Exarch). One series of flopped morale tests later and all 3 squads were running away. By the new rules for Sweeping advances you take the majority initiative of the units running away and add a D6 score to it. If the persuers manage to get equal to or higher than the guys running away, they chase them down. The Dark Eldar had a majority initiative of 5 whilst the Exarch had 6. Then the guy with the Exarch rolled a 6 for his pursuit roll...and therefore kill all the Dark Eldar. The guy with the Eldar went "YES!!" and got so excited he accidentally knocked his head against the wall of the Battle Bunker. That entertained us for quite a while...

[Fend]

10 gaurdians shoot at my Terminator squad. 5 Termies die leaving 1 left. now this is the funny part. that termy then procedes to charge the gaurdians, kill them all, win not 1 but 2 mindwars against the farseer, kills a warlock AND is one of the remaining 3 marines left of the field at the end of the game. IT was a really close battle (at one point 5 gaurdians were fighting and WINNING against 8 BT marines. the termi charged in and mashed their iddy bitty pointy helmets in). ok. thats more amazing than stupid.

the stupidest thing ive seen is every time i fight my Empire opponent in fantasy with my dwarves... If i start winning he gives up and wanders off. plays computer or watches tv. i tell him to roll dice and he tells me to do it for him. Now if thats not a crap player , what is? lol. once he flew his captain on a pegasus towards my cannons, charged. fell short and the next turn was blown to stringy bitz by the combined might of 2 cannons and an organ gun. He gave up then and there. it was only turn 1.

[Andaius]

I have some amazing gaming moments as well

1: My bro gets a greater demon of nurgle and assembles his nugle marines to do battle with my Ultras, we're doing cleanse.
Well my FC and assault termies tackle his hq guys and he gets out the ol' greater demon...i thought 3 lightning claws and 2 thunder hammers + the FC's Power sword could do it....
the first turn of cc i miss with all the termies and the FC fails to wound and the GUO kills all the termies but 2 and the FC....the second round he kill the rest of the termies, but my valent FC and his GD can't seem to finish each other..fight lasts 4 of the 6 turns...still didn't die.

2: same battle, but i have 3 ML, 2 HB, 1LC, 1PC, firing at his squad of termies, all failing to do damage even though all hit...only to have 6 of his 8 chosen termies fall to 1 tact squad's bolters!

Their was many a cry of "WHAT???? NO WAY!!! HOW THE HECK??"

kais_54, archon_god, your grammar and punctuation (or lack thereof) are completely unnaceptable on these forums. Put some time and effort into your posts and help make this a decent readable place.

[Civik]

ah, there was this one time my terminator chaplain with his lightning claws took on a Khorn commander and his entire chosen retinue alone while a chaos dreadnaught was attempting to slice him with it's powerfist... I made more 4+ saves that day than as far back as I can remember.

Since it was a meatgrinder mission, he almost had to put his bloodthirster in because he was the last model standing. Unfortunately being Deathwing, he wouldn't run from the dreadnaught and eventually got squished even though he couldn't damage it.

[aceofchaos]

having a possessed deamon prince "about 500pts" take out a 2500 imp gaurd army with only taking 3 wounds by his deamon weapon

[rocket_Magnet]

destroying my store managers furioso in a 2000point match didnt go down too well, he let his elite gaurd loose ( jetpacks and one hell of a temper) and them alone were able to tear through the entire army.

but on another note in a cmapaign i was playing i won the headhunter award for killing 6 different indpenedant characters ( in the campaign once they were dead, they stayed dead for the full campaign) also kill a bloodthrister in 1 shot with a single wraithcannon, oh how the guy i was facing loved that

oh and when playing in a toruney getiing my baneblade finished off by a single imperial gaurd with metla bombs (already immobilised and my pintle mounted weapon gone) the guy took me down from 1 hard point and destroyed me, killing himself in the process mind :D

but on another note in a cmapaign i was playing i won the headhunter award for killing 6 different indpenedant characters ( in the campaign once they were dead, they stayed dead for the full campaign) also kill a bloodthrister in 1 shot with a single wraithcannon, oh how the guy i was facing loved that

oh and when playing in a toruney getiing my baneblade finished off by a single imperial gaurd with metla bombs (already immobilised and my pintle mounted weapon gone) the guy took me down from 1 hard point and destroyed me, killing himself in the process mind :D
what about doing it with grotz????
Athiar did that

. Well this guy (Eldar) was playing Dark Eldar and his Striking Scorpions got in a far bit of trouble. They had an Archon and his Incubi, a squad of Wyches plus a squads of Warriors charge them. However after the combat dragged on for some time, eventually the Striking Scorpions managed to win a combat (by this time all that was left was the Exarch). One series of flopped morale tests later and all 3 squads were running away. By the new rules for Sweeping advances you take the majority initiative of the units running away and add a D6 score to it. If the persuers manage to get equal to or higher than the guys running away, they chase them down. The Dark Eldar had a majority initiative of 5 whilst the Exarch had 6. Then the guy with the Exarch rolled a 6 for his pursuit roll...and therefore kill all the Dark Eldar. The guy with the Eldar went "YES!!" and got so excited he accidentally knocked his head against the wall of the Battle Bunker. That entertained us for quite a while...

That is incredibly horrible luck on the part of the Dark Eldar player. A squad or two of warriors (with a sybarite) might've been able to take the scorpions. A squad of wyches would've taken em, expecially if supplemented by warriors. And an Archon with an Incubi retinue (commonly regarded as CC monster) would've wiped the floor with the Scorpions on their own.

There must've been a whole lot of 1s rolling there.

[rocket_Magnet]

yes but he couldnt have taken the bloodthrister down from full health with grots, its actually impossible to do aceofchaos, i took a bloodthrister with 3(or is it 4) wounds out with one shot, the wraithcannon will kill outright on a wounding roll of a 6 :)

ive seen some awful dice rolling before, a sqaud of my freind marines 20 shots, and every SINGLE one of them managed to fail to hit, including rollin 8 1s it was a sight to behold, my mate couldnt stop laughing for a good 15 minutes

Played my first game yesterday with a 2000 point force of Orks and beat a veteran player with an Imperial Guard Army. It was mostly just lucky dice. Basically, he was doing the typical sit behind cover and pound the living hell out of you with Small-arms fire IG thing and the way the map was set up (two trenches with various bunkers on each side, no mans land in the middle with scattered cover) I just had to rush him over open ground. It was looking pretty grim but once my first killer kan made it to his line and started ripping those little basterds to piece the tide turned. Meh Boyz Rulz te Deh!

[Athair]

I gave it 2 wounds though :D
The rest came from its own instabability :nana:

Also, having a 10+ Dark Eldar HQ and retinue take on Karandras and Striking Scorpions. Karandras (with Biting Blade and S5) caused about 20 wounds each turn for his 3 turns he lived. :D

[BillyBob]

I wont give a battle report, but lets just say that I was on top the whole game. Finally I kill his chaplain (I think it was a chaplain... his best HQ basically) and he freaks out. He starts cursing and shouting... there are kids watching the game. He gets banned from the store. He left shouting that I didnt win lol. Winning didnt really concern me, I just thought he was a freaking loser for flipping out.40k?
He probably flipped cuz that chaplain cost him 180+ points. But that's no reason to flip. :yas:
I don't see why a game of warhammer can't be played civilly? :beer: I mean, so what if you're losing, it's a learning thing. Okay, I put 5 hours into painting this model.. so? it looks nice.. doesn't mean it's invincible.
Anyway, the worst experience I had was some kid with some scourges (Dark Eldar). he had 8 dark lances in the squad.. me not knowing anything about DE found it kinda funny, so I checked the codex and told him you can have only 4 a squad :Slap: . the GW guy came over and didn't disqualify him! Heck, I didn't even get any retribution :banned: (this was during a store tourney.. my 1st.. I'm a noob!). SO suffice to say, I don't play in any GW tourneys anymore.. cuz the people up there are very inconsiderate and only in the game to win.. not for the fun of it.
BTW- if anyone in Bergen county, NJ is on here and wants to play, PM me! Still a noob, but I have a lotta stuff!

just played a rematch aginst my mate anyway the 1st game we had we made some little rules to it and he brings 5 land raiders anyway i beat him and he starts cursing and giving me funny phonecalls anyway today he brings 5 thunderhanks and i still beat him
ps: i play tha ig he plays smurfs

[DaemonSlayer]

Wow... this thread is AWESOME! Newho I'll get on with it. Stupid things, let's see...

1) 8 Necron warriors shoot at my squad of scouts and hit and wound with all of them. I have 8 scout saves to make on 7 scouts.
I promptly fail each and every single one of them... :weep: :yas: :smash:

2) My Force commander and a squad of 9 marines charge into a Wraithlord and take it down (My FC has a Thunder Hammer :fight: )
Then the consolidate into an Avatar, don't kill it but my FC stuns it (praise be to Thunder Hammers) so it can't attack until the end of the next assault phase (so it skips one but can fight the next) so then the next turn i take it down. By now, I've taken 4 wounds (1 on Fc by Avatar because i made 2 4+ saves and 3 dead SMs) and so i charge guardians, wipe em' and i charge 2 warlocks with witchblades. Smite them but am charged by the SC Karandras. (i'm now down to the FC 3 marines and the Veteran Sergant) Karandras wounds me twice and i make 1 4+ save(1 wound left) i direct 3 of my attacks against him, 2 on the striking scorpions with him. I manage to hit with them all (master crafted) and miss one wound on Karandras. The SS's die and so does karandras. The FC even lasted the 3 remaining striking scorpions that were left. He killed those too.

Five Thunderhawks eh. So, were you playing Epic or are you making this story up?

[DaemonSlayer]

Ya, 5 Thunder hawks is a crapload in 40k. That's kinda weird

[Tegadil]

I figures he be lying, when you consider that a Thunderhawk costs on the order of 375 GBP. For any single person to own 5 Thunderhawks is downright amazing.

[kais 54]

no he just saves loads of money he aint got no money in his bank now mind you he got his first one when he was 10

[peer]

PUNCTUATION

[Tegadil]

no he just saves loads of money he aint got no money in his bank now mind you he got his first one when he was 10

He got a thunderhawk when he was 10?

How old is he now?

[Athair]

I've seen a TH once "or a proxy of it...). The thing was HUGE. The store owner unloaded 2 Landraiders, a Dred, and several squads of Space Marines from it. It is also armed to fight by itself. How big are your battles???

any way...

seeing 3 broods of Genestealers die HORRABLE deaths from Tau in CC is funny. less so when their yours...

[rocket_Magnet]

no he just saves loads of money he aint got no money in his bank now mind you he got his first one when he was 10


the original thunderhawks not the ones from forgeworld which cost 375gbp, the metal ones from gw...
those thunderhawks were made out of metal, came in a 500piece set, and came in a engraved crate they cost easily around 600gbp.So an original thunderhawk at 10, even if we look past the financial dodgeyness, putting together for a 10 year old wouldve been near impossible

so kais either you freinds parents spoied him rotten, or you lying quite badly.

[kais 54]

they did spoil him he still lives with them but i beat him bwhahahaha

[BillyBob]

.the second round he kill the rest of the termies, but my valent FC and his GD can't seem to finish each other..fight lasts 4 of the 6 turns...still didn't die.

Not as bad as having an entire tac squad take down 9 out of 10 orks after a shooting and assault phase 2nd turn (speed freak orks.. they got 3 of my 6 man tac squad), then having the damn ork save for 3 turns afterwards :omg: :jaw: . The Loin cloth and chains just kept deflecting my chainswords and fists!!! The combat lasted till the 2nd to last turn in the game.. where my tac squad and it's HB couldn't do anything from downfield :banghead: :madashel:

[Dem0nF0x]

Happened to me at a Rogue Trader Tournament (RTT) 40k.

Start of the 2nd game for the day, my opponents buddy, who I had soundly beaten in the 1st game, (Only thing I lost in my entire army was my Defiler) talks to his friend for a few minutes.

Half way through the 2nd game I ask they guy if I could see his army list as after doing some mental math (not the quickest) :banghead: it looked like the guy was playing with more points then he should of been using. He refuses to let me see it. Too bad for him that you have to let your opponent look at your list.

So I call over the judge and explain the problem. The judge picks up his list and starts checking it with what is on the table. Ends up the guy is using 2 Dark Reaper Squads (4 w/ an Exarch, of course with fast shot) that aren't on his list.

So the judge points it out to him and the guy says "Does that mean I lose?" Trying really hard not to laugh the judge says that yes, he loses this round and if something like this happens again he'll never play in the store, or any other event the judge runs anywhere.

Needless to say now when anyone gets caught cheating the phrase "Does that mean I lose?" comes up. :anime:

[chocolate]

Now I'v never played with Thunderhawks in 40K before... but judging from the scale in Epic which I do play, doesn't that mean you guys would have needed about a 10 X 10 foot board?

From the sticky in the main DoW forum: "Ask a question using English. We are not spelling nazis here. Hell alot of my posts have a word or two with letters out of sync, but I at least try and proof read before I post. PROOF READ YOUR POST. Use proper spelling, use a spellchecker or word processor first, if your typing is really bad. Paragraphs are a cool thing to use aswell."

The same rules apply here as in the main forum.

I somehow missed kais_54's post when I first read this thread, and I'm happy to see Vijil take initiative. Please, everyone, try as best you can to use correct spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. From now on I will delete posts with what I deem unintelligible content on sight.

So let's just sod the fact some posters here are younger and possibly not native speakers.

Wonderful ethic.

[peer]

English isn't my primary language either, but that's beside the point.

Read the post I quoted once more. See where it says "Use proper spelling, use a spellchecker or word processor first, if your typing is really bad".

If someone is twelve years old, or from China or whatever, I can accept that their english might not be of the highest level. However, the least thing they can do is try. Put some effort into your posts, attempt as best you can to make your post understandable.

Don't tell me that the reason some people write whole posts without any periods is because they aren't from an english-speaking country. People don't use "u", "b4", "neway" or whatever because they don't know the real word. They use it because they are lazy and don't care that people will have trouble deciphering their post.

Most of the worst posts here, I'll wager, are so horrible because their author simply didn't bother to make any effort. All I ask is for them to TRY TO BE CONCISE AND UNDERSTANDABLE. If your best spelling is still terrible, use a spell checker.


EDIT: Oh yeah, locked. Fat Bhoy Tim, if you have a problem with my moderating, take it to PM and we can sort it out.
