40k looks so cool, I love the art design or everything, most of the games are brilliant, miniature painting is so satisfying, the lore is so cool and everything about it is awesome..... But then I see people playing and it looks dull af with sweaty, salty, man children talking about dice and getting tape measures out
Iv played 2 games of 8th ed and 3 games of 9th ed. It was honestly back to back rules jankin BS everytime. I just paint the models now and look at them on the shelf or sell them.
The worst experience I ever had was at my local store which was holding a small escalation event. This was right at the end of 9th edition. I was using my guard and my opponent orks. I was playing for fun and brought 2 leman Russ and a baneblade. The rest was just Krieg. He got turn 1 and moved at me with his vehicles filled with boys. I demolished most of them and obliterated his infantry. Well on his turn 2 he called out the “waaagh” and when I asked him what it does he said “oh it adds 2” to their movement, i can re-roll missed charges, they get +1 to hit and wound. And I can re-roll the hit rolls and they get a +5 invulnerable save. It sounded super sus but I had already decimated like half his army while he hadn’t even been able to wipe out a Krieg squad. So I let it. Well on turn 3 he is charging me and fails. He re rolls it, I ask him what is making him able to do that and he says “oh remember I called the “waaagh”? And I asked “well how long does it last for?” And he said “oh for the rest of the game”. I ended up winning… barely but I was like “this grown man will really cheat like this?” I wonder what he would have done if I had asked to see the rules. I later found out that he is the store cheater and that no one likes to play him. My buddy has a worse story about him
Theres a duscussion bout how to play dnd - on a grid, or not. Ppl from warhammer yell "no grid! Just use a measuring tape!". Looks like u cloud use a grid...
That's why when I'd roll a bunch of dice- I would remove the misses first so my opponent would have plenty of time to confirm. There's no rush- you're there to have fun. Plus it gives them loads of time to appreciate how unlucky I am at rolling dice.
I have never played Tabletop 40k before but watching the guy reposition rhe flyer after the other guy placed and measured was very cringe. Maybe im wrong and its fine but looked really sus
I only clicked because I thought Jesus would play more of a part, like as if there was an OP unit taking on the role of the messiah or something. So I feel clickbaited
0 experience with warhammer but have played a lot of mtg in person events, is it not like policy to have like a judge at the event who can be called to discuss rulings that the players don't agree on? Like with the huge amount of arguments over the rules and deploying not having a clear judge as well as punishments for breaking game state i.e the whole measurement fiasco as the start would think that there would be more input from some ruling body at the event.
