Had something similar happen in a Star Wars Legion game I took part in. The dude was constantly mismeasuring, arguing with rules, and gloating whenever he scored a hit. I had a Rebel Army with a Luke that I put a lot of work into, to include an LED lightsaber. This idiot, when he was able to knock Luke out, FLICKED him off the table. This broke the lightsaber off and somehow detached one of the LED wires from the conductive undercoat. The organizer just stared at him before saying, "Get out and if you ever come back to this store, you'll be trespassed." He ended up putting a formal complaint on the guy through Fantast Flight Games that prevented him from entering registered tournaments for two years.
sorry that happened to you and thats fookin insane! if someone ever did that to my stuff, Im throwing hands!
Did you manage to fix it?
@@brookpederson738sorry big man
had this sort of thing happen while delivering an army to a customer that i had just finished painting for. he was a regular at the LGS, and i guess he had a reputation as having tough armies. as i was walking in, he had just finished a game and his opponent was already red in the face. as i called out to my customer and told him i had his new army ready, his opponent came over and smacked the box out of my hand, sending it into the wall nearby. now... i do a lot of custom work, including special bases, a bit of kitbashing, and some personal touches as requested. so hearing all that smash and break as this guy (and he's like 50) loses his cool and targetted the guy's new army. needless to say, guy was banned from every game shop within the area, was banned from any gaming conventions, and the cops were called. he was arrested and the guy took him to court to get restitution for the damage (about $5000 of minis were wrecked), and i redid the whole thing, but he was cool enough to pay me a bit extra for having to do it all a second time.
total asshole move by that guy
This is heartcrushing to read. I have deep respect for all this work in the minis and destroying such things especially unique things (in a way all minis are unique) is like destroying a part of their creators.
You should have been paid in full on that jerk's dime.
@@bladerdj3503”destroying part of their creators”🤣🤣
Just found this video, wanted to share a quick story.
I was playing in a 40K tournament at MEGACON in Orlando Florida. As I recall there were about 50-ish players there, I was playing Orks back in the day and had a fairly fun and solid list that included a "Sniffer Squig" the rule for this was that no Callidus could polymorph into any Ork as long as they were within 18" of the Squig. I also took a teleport scrambler which caused deep strikers to double their scatter distance. I made it to the final table against a Space wolves player that had all deep strikers save one squad and a Callidus assassin. After I set up I explained that he couldn't use his polymorphine and had to deploy normally, which would obviously be bad for the assassin. He pitched a fit and called the tournament organizer over who verified my rules as being correct. After this he won first turn so I reminded him about the teleport scrambler, which I had mentioned after setting up. Needless to say he attempted to teleport all his terminators down right in front of my lines at various locations. One squad landed on a mob and was auto destroyed as they could not deploy, another had double 6s for scatter which sent them off the board and his final two squads scattered out of range of his guns. This further infuriated him as I just rolled forward with 50ish Orks and various vehicles etc and proceeded to kill all but 2 of the 10 terminators. at which point he was chucking his models (nicely painted I might add) into a box breaking arms and legs and weapons galore. To his credit he did concede after that. To top it off I had a battle wagon that I used to put the helmets/heads of interesting armies I had beaten in tournaments and fun campaigns. At one point folks were just painting up helmets to put on my battle wagon's banner as it was well known in central florida. I probably shouldn't have, but I asked if he would paint a Space Wolf helmet for my Battle Wagon's banner, he looked at me, picked up one of his basic marines and bit the head off and spit it on the table. I had a couple friends who were with me, so I picked up the helmet and grabbed my glue and put it on the battle wagon right then and there, which drew a ton of laughter from most of the folks who had witnessed his poor sportsmanship.
lmao my friggin sides are in orbit sir.
That's fucking brilliant man .... I am standing in my forge literally roaring laughter....
LOL, Incredible
Best war gaming mic drop Ive heard to date
Bruh the disrespect to his own models is unbelievable
Man, at the cost of a Mastodon, I think you could very well have called the cops and pressed charges for destruction of property. It's likely a misdemeanor, but putting him through getting arrested, making bail and showing up for court would have been pretty sweet revenge. It's no more than he deserved. He's lucky the community is what it is.
It's not just destruction of property, it's flat-out vandalism. Sure, he'd likely just get a fine and have to pay for a new one, but still.
I'll say it: It is naked terrorism.
Paying hundreds of dollars for a plastic model is absurd. It makes me care so much less about shit like this.
Mini worth goes up when a mini has a good paintjob, so it could have taken it into felony territory in the US.
not a lot of experience with cops huh? they wont do shit over 'toys' (their words) and will likely try and hem you up when you leave.
He tries to destroy a £400 tank because you handed him some models gently.
I would never touch anyone's models without asking first.
Play with my money you play with your .. health
The real criminal here is the guy who made a plastic tank 400 bucks
@@Glyff3083 I thought it was Resin?
@@Glyff3083
1) the Mastodon is a resin casted tank
2) It's a $610 or 610 bucks PRE TAX, the guy paid (After taxes) 400 euros, british pounds, not USD!
If they were to make the Mastodon into plastic, it would probably be around $250-300 bucks or 175 Euros
Source: A guy who owns an Astraeus ($443.34 after tax in my area, USD), has had banter with Horus Heresy enjoyers, and would've happily argued with the TO and held the man captive in a hold until we fished out his wallet, and charged him ~$700 USD for a new Mastodon.
Hell, I would've called the police and argued that because the model is assembled and painted (it took me about 8 hours of effort to get the Astraeus assembled properly, resin you have to shave away, heat up, mold into place, etc) even if you charged the man minimum wage, the tank's value would likely be at or above $1,000, which is $500 more than you need for a Class a Misdemeanor for property damage, but if you can get the cop to agree with you that the man likely spent 30-100 hours on the tank, all you need to do is convince the officer that the value of the model is $1500.01 or more, and it's a felony. (numbers may vary from state to state)
Class A misdemeanor = up to 1 year jail time and up to $1000 fine.
Felony is OOF = 18 months - 24 months jail time (no less) and up to $10,000 fine.
Personally I don't really care if I win or lose in fact more often than not if I find out if my opponent has a titan or something equally as OP I try to challenge them in a match that is clearly ridiculously rigged against me.
For example if you have a thunderhawk gunship and a super heavily armored formation (and have a good bit of background lore) then I will happily play as a target dummy with a simple squad or two knowing that I'm clearly going to lose.
I find that people don't usually need a excuse to bring out the big guns and I like to happily be that excuse.
Do you see why I play lamenters ?
👑 you dropped this king
For those we cherish ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodla2091 we die in glory !
You're a credit to the hobby. May your games be fun and your battles be glorious 😊👍
Ah a fellow Lamenter. For those we cherish brother.
Being a father of four with a single income means getting new models is an especially rare event for me especially a big centerpiece model. I'm protective of my stuff to put it mildly. It's not much of a comparison to his model but the closest I have is a landraider. If that happened to me I'd be out for blood, and I'm one of the most laid back people you'll ever meet
I am starting to see that maybe this guy had the patience of a saint, it was painful to read though.
Same here pal it takes a lot for me to see red but if that player did that to my miniatures he would be in the hospital on a life support machine
With the way GW are bumping their prices constantly, im in a similar situation, struggle financially so looking into 3d printing, intial cost is high to get started, but after that its cheap as hell!
If you have big of a family perhaps you should find a cheaper hobby instead of pissing away your money on stupid little models
How the author didn't demand police be called for vandalism or something is amazing.
@KanashiiFX Then I would have demanded the idiot pay in full for the new model, or hand over his army, in compensation. Having someone else fix a model that idiot broke, even for free, doesn't sit right at all.
They would have had to call the police on me because there is no way I would have contained my anger. Beat down incoming.
@KanashiiFX there's a dollar value threshold at least in the states where just 'destroying a little toy' is actually a felony, which if you decide to press charges, can nicely f-up someone's life
Well i mean destroying a toy is still destruction of property, it is a material item that belongs to someone, therefore is a possession/property. You can claim a £15 wing mirror cover on someone’s insurance if they break it, wouldn’t change for a £400 plastic model
@@Monsu1erq That $400 only covers the model iteself. Painting it would add considerably more, perhaps even equel to the model's original cost.
Stories like this is why I don't play out in my local stores. I have my group I play with at our homes and I'm perfectly content with that.
Lucky for you my man. I hope I can find friends to play with beside toxic local store players.
what franky did is criminal damage! and he should have been sued for that then banned
should have just commented "Seems gravity did what your army couldnt" and then clocked him
Display models versus playable models is half the reason I’ve returned to battletech and put 40k on the shelf for now. Tired of breaking bits off of belasarius or my orinthropter. They break bits if you so much as breath on them wrong…..if someone threw one or intentionally dropped one……you’d see just how dago I am.
If that happened to me, my gaming group buddies would have been on top of that guy and beat him to a pulp in seconds.
Yup. And held his models hostage until he paid restitution for selfish act.
A lot of thought, effort and time goes into getting a model the way you want it and by christ i cannot imagine a situation where I could remain calm is someone was to do that to my portion of the hobby. Frankie is lucky he can still walk.
Happened to me, I had a Defiler, not a hugely expensive model admittedly and thankfully, but a model I'd put months into, it was my first I'm beaming from ear to ear achievement in the hobby, was at local apocalypse game at our LGS (I actually skipped school to go to it haha), Chris is his name and he was a salty bugger consistently and snide comments about my weight, myself, my models, turned the cheek I'm the bigger man (I'm 14 he's mid 30's) until the end of the game (game was 10 hours), we won decisively and whilst clearing the table and then preparing to all go out for food and then come back and chill for the rest of the night, he picked up my defiler on the other end of the table and proceeded to launch it across the room where it shattered...cue me running around the table, rugby tackling him to the ground and breaking his nose, two black eyes and missing four teeth, it took four grown adults who ran the group to get me off him, when he said "i'll press charges", the guys around me said they'd back me and said that Chris put hands on me....Chris was never allowed back to the group and i think everyone in the group was slightly scared of me after that.
A gentleman roused to anger is always a stark reminder of why he is a gentleman
Exact right thing to do.
Bravo, sir!
Hahaha yeah I’m sure you did bud.
I like stories...
How that guy wasn't banned from every FLGS in a 250 mile radius I'll never understand.
No amount of TOs would be able to pry me off of him. I'd be apoplectic.
If somebody intentionally went out to damage my models at the table, I think I would beat them to death with my dice bag, no joke
I once had one of those type of people come into my FLGS and began observing the games that were going on. When he noticed my Tau; he immediately came over, began chirping endlessly on our game making my opponent visually uncomfortable and doing his best to be as obnoxious as possible towards me. Claiming that 'Tau aren't a real army, The imperium is better, you should throw those models in the trash. And pretty much overused and unoriginal Tau meme you could think of.
Having dealt with this type before (I realize it kind of comes with the territory with some people and Tau) I simply ignored him and kept my focus on my opponent and game. As we finished our game and I started to pack up my models; this guy had the nerve to reach for one of my Broadsides; saying 'Those models are such garbage, here let me toss them out for you.'
I managed to react before him and grabbed his arm by the wrist, in a firm enough grip not to hurt but enough to get the message through as I gave him a very angry stare in his eyes and a firm tone. "Do 'NOT' Touch someone's models."
Of course the guy begins screaming bloody murder, pulling his hand back; which I had let go mind you and turned around to try and paint me the villain to the store owners... Too bad the store manager was right behind him and had come to ask him to quiet down; saw the entire thing unfold and banned him from the store on the spot.
The store manager being a friend knows I used to do some martial arts before I had to stop for medical reasons; looked at me; very clearly trying to hide a smirk and said 'thanks for not hurting him.' before leaving me and my opponent be to clean up after our game.
Do NOT ever resort to violence. But no one at any point has a right to touch or damage you or your property. And if they do not experience consequences for their actions; they absolutely will keep doing it thinking they can get away with it. The guy in this video's story should have been banned on the spot from that and all future tournaments and had the people present warn and blacklist him from other nearby stores. At least until he formally apologized AND provided reimbursement for the destroyed/damaged model. Regardless of if it was repaired or not.
I love these videos for the very real (creative writing) power fantasies they draw out in the comments.
It's not the price of the model it's the fact that somebody is upset at getting schooled in a game of Warhammer, it's bad sportsmanship it's low character and it's a really negative character trait to destroy somebody else's property because you're upset at them and that's that's what part of the story that floored me the most, I'm so sorry that your time building that tank was destroyed, but northern lately you have really been helping me get some frustration out so thank you for your stories my man the only bad part about listening to all you awesome dudes on CZcams is the fact that I don't ever get to play Warhammer against some of my favorite people, have a great day my friend
my heart dropped the moment hearing the mastodon hitting the floor
Plot twist: the mastodon was already broken and Frankie helped the guy get a free repair job
If someone intensionally broke my model, like chucked it across the room, i would probably punch them.
To people who ask what the background game was: A commenter said it was a Warhammer game, "Chaos Gate."
I had a time, this was a few years ago during Horus Heresy 1.0. I'm a long time 40k player, so I've seen a few things, but this short little thing still gets me. It was the start of a tournament, 3k a head. No real stakes, this was just a fun end of summer thing. Just a few nice competitive matches before we got into fall and started some narrative stuff.
My Death Guard vs Night Lords. Lets call the other player Brian.
Already from the start as we drew lots to decide our matches, Brian rolls his eyes and very loudly starts complaining. His Legion is all about Fear and the Death Guard are immune to Fear. So his main trick isn't going to work on my army.
But we start our set up and deployment. It was just a total war mission, just fight until the end. Most of Brian's Night Lords are mounted in drop pods or in deepstrike as terminators or assault marines. I turtle my army up, getting into cover, using tanks to max out my area of denial and make sure he can't get a sneaky drop pod in my lines. I measure it out and even have him confirm my measurements. He's a little annoyed, and Im purposefully doing it because his attitude was shitty.
Top of turn 1. He brings in a Vet Squad with combi-meltas right in front of my Sicaran. He rolls to scatter and scatters a full 12" back, now outside of Melta range. He screams "FUCK!" and starts using a bunch of homophobic slurs.
I tell him its not a big deal and if he calms down, I'll let him re-roll the scatter. I really didn't care, I'm a pretty laidback player. House rules of fun over anything else. But I tell him he gets one re-roll per drop pod if he wants, but he has to keep the second roll, no keeping the first.
He agrees and rolls to scatter. 12", this time directly off table. He screams "Fuck this shit!" and smashes his own drop pod on the ground. Calls me a cheating homophobic slur and said it was gay of me to measure out all my deployments so he can't get drop pods close. He said I could go fuck myself and starts packing up.
I don't say anything and he awkwardly packs up his whole army and leaves, mumbling slurs under his breath. He leaves behind the broken drop pod, that to this day has been repainted and used as terrain in the store. I dont know if he was banned, but I haven't seen him in the store since.
Hahahahaha, just as planed, Hahahaha
' ...rules of fun over anything else.' Yes, you're my kind of player. Respect.
I have a good friend who sadly, has raged about my null deployment tactics.. there are people who get personally offended at being outplayed. Warhammer is toy soldier hilarity, it's supposed to be fun!
That's the best story behind an LGS terrain piece I've ever heard
I am extremely new to the WH40K game and I have only ever played two games. This isn't much a nightmare, it's just a inconvenience that has swayed me away from playing any game since. My first game was a very nice very friendly learning curve as I was playing Nids for the 10th edition and the guy teaching me was playing necron. He was extremely kind and I wouldn't mind playing him again once I have an army Im happy with. So I managed to take out half his army in one turn. Then watched the entire Army rebuild itself except two units. Mean while my army lost a ¼th of its fighting force in turn one. That game ended on a good not around turn 3 and i am happy about it. Next game is what killed me. We have a kid who plays tournaments and professional games. I was playing SM for the first time and he played Imperial Fist. He immediately whent to work setting things up helping me get everything set up and telling me good setups and bad set ups. Then as I'm trying to learn how to play he is telling me exactly what my troops can do and starts rolling dice for his units ans mine resloving things faster than I can recall the name of my unit to find the info and learn it myself. By the end of turn two I have killed 6 units and he already took my entire army off the board. Not one troop remained standing. I decided to just collect and build models and haven't played since. I want to learn and find the right army before I try again. My heart is leaning on Nids and Chaos Knights.
I keep forgetting there is an actual game connected to painting mini armies! 😂
My god... A Mastodon is $900 AUD. Almost a thousand bloody dollars. If someone broke something of mine on purpose like that I know for a fact he'd be leaving in an ambulance.
nearly one grand for one (although very large) model? I wouldnt be able to keep myself composed if someone destroyed something worth that much either.
wasn't honestly going to subscribe do to having too many hobbytubers right now, but than you started talking about boosting smaller creators and stuff like that, that earns a lot of respect on my end good on you for being such an awesome person
The torment organizer and his buddy are true hobby heroes
"Why is he not banned?"
Pffft "why is he not fearing for his safety any time he sets foot in the store" you mean
Well this too xD
This is a big issue in the tabletop space, it's full of nerds(no offense intended) who are very non confrontational and people like Frankie take advantage of that fact to act like a bully. FYI, I can guess the reason hes not banned from the store, the margins on owning and running a tabletop store are mighty slim and I'm betting our pal Frankie spends a lot of money there, in short- money talks. He will be allowed to continue with his behavior until you guys threaten to "boycott" the store and never give them your business until hes gone. You have to create a situation where Frankie is costing the store more than he spends and once that condition is met he will be banned immediately.
Now that takes me back, like damn. I actually have a couple of those valkyries that are hanging up there, raffled them away when they changed location. Also got one of the executioner leman russes that were in the window display. Remember playing on that table too.
😮
I managed to get one of the Stormlord super heavies (plus a sentinel) in that raffle.
Yeah, the Manchester store (back in't day) was a great community. The new location is very much the polar opposite...
@rononel8046 that's because a lot of has changed. The new location is smaller but the rent is also 3x what it used to be so now it has no choice but to be more of a shop than a gaming space. The gaming during the week as well wasn't really doing all that much except being a headache for the staff with regular arguments about rules etc which is not ideal. They may do more gaming stuff now and then but it won't be anywhere near the scale it was before for quite some time.
@@hammer1349 yeah, I know all that, I talk to Paul whenever I'm in there. Didn't change the fact that I had a lot of happy memories/great friendships in the old store. Didn't change the fact that the Arndale wanting to shift GW and GW's new store policies have killed it for me. I go to Element in Stockport now, feels like the GW of old...
We have a Bloodbowl League starting tomorrow in our local shop after a summer of friendly matches. It's a small, awesome game
11:09 this is one of those “build a army, collect a faction” discussions. I think primarchs are cool, when 40k Angron comes out, I’ll buy him and that will be the first primarch I’ll have ever painted, BUT I’ll probably never take him because I’d rather have Khârn, and a Exalted Champion and Daemon Prince and as many berserkers in as many rhinos as possible.
i just got into warhammer 40k and have noticed the sliver of sodium that exists, while only really finding good people. i like hearing these as they’re very hilarious, but also help me know how exactly not to act while someone dunks on me. also helps me identify assholes at my local games shop lmfao
Blood Bowl leagues are a thing here. Group of guys playing at the GW on Sundays, sometimes they go to the store managers house on his days off for games, and periodically they play at nerd bars here. I'm getting into it myself, soon. Love ya vids, Norf.
Didn't happen to me, but to a friend some years back. MTG tourney at our local gaming shop. My pal has his chosen decks in hand, inside playing the tourney. Unbeknowsnt to him, someone else who had seen or knew that he had the balance of his massive MTG collection outside in his car, decided to get sticky fingers. Well, perp acquires card collection, immediately heads across town to the other hobby store in town, and tries to sell some of those cards. In the original, labelled, identifiable dekboxes they were stored in. Owner of second shop recognized the cases and knew exactly who they belonged to. So, as he is stalling the thief, he has his staff call both the police and my friend. My pal does end up getting ALL of his cards back (which were insured due to the value of his collcetion) and the perp catches some serious misdemeanor charges, class B as I recall, because that collection was worth tens of thousands back in the late 90s. Don't mess with the local gaming community...we stick together.
"Cut Anfield away from Liverpool, shove it into the arctic..." hahaha, that's heavy that la. I'd have to go the long way around to get to the 24hr Asda
I would have launched myself as soon as the model had hit the floor. No way would I have been able to stay composed. The store certainly should ban that waste of skin the second it was seen what he did. They should have made him buy a new Mastodon because of his behaviour.
I would swing for him every time I saw him at the store after that if it had been my model.
I have paid that much for a miniature before it's a gargantuan Tiamat miniature this miniature would put the fear of god into any D&D player lol
Note: Mastodon is a $610 pre-tax model, or ~$650-670 USD after taxes, or nearly a 400 Pound tank after taxes.
If I saw that happen to myself or one of my friends, I would've called the police and argued that because the model is assembled and painted (it took me about 8 hours of effort to get the Astraeus assembled properly, resin you have to shave away, heat up, mold into place, etc) even if you charged the man minimum wage, the tank's value would likely be at or above $1,000, which is $500 more than you need for a Class a Misdemeanor for property damage, but if you can get the cop to agree with you that the man likely spent 30-100 hours on the tank, all you need to do is convince the officer that the value of the model is $1500.01 or more, and it's a felony. (numbers may vary from state to state)
Class A misdemeanor = up to 1 year jail time and up to $1000 fine.
Felony is OOF = 18 months - 24 months jail time (no less) and up to $10,000 fine.
We are getting this guy thrown into jail, one way or another. I'm a nice and patient guy. The store manager has dropped my painted Storm Raven, it was an accident, I get it. I fixed it up, I really don't mind.
But Franky? I would've dove for you, dragged you outside, tied you up, pinned you, and called the police, and if anybody tried to stop me, I would honestly say "It's ok, I only participate in tournaments for fun. You can give me a lifetime ban, I'm fine with it. But I'm going to make sure these types don't get away with anything ever again. I hope your tushie is ready for jail time"
Something similar happened at a store tourney I frequented. A camera filming the tourney caught the whole thing and the police arrested the guy, who couldn't leave because somebody had slashed his tires and put one of those long-stemmed steel cigarette containers through his side window. They also had footage of the guy who put the returning bully through the side wall of the shop into the barber shop next door... where he then bit one of the barbers and got stabbed with scissors.
Good times, man.
What's he doing today, twenty years later? Guard at a youth detention center. Makes sense. I bet he's a real peach.
Lemme guess, Florida?
Ha ha! "I don't condone violence."
But that broken mastasdon I going up his ass!
At work giggling at this with headphones in, people wondering the f I'm doing
First time seeing your content! This what more than entertaining I’m happy to sub ❤🙌
Oh wow! Great choice for thumbnail, I have so much love for the Manchester store!
Banned from the next tournie?! He should be banned from store/club for life!
As a fellow Dark Angels player, a tip my hat to this man.
I'm betting Frankie's had excuses made for his behaviour his entire life. I'd have watched him pack up and then followed him outside.
Very simple, no one gets to handle anything they don't own.
Pardon my ignorance, what is the game that's on in the background?
Someone breaks my miniatures, which all the work I put into them, they'd definitely get thrown a beating 😂
I’ve had similar happen and it makes me angers that people would even consider damaging theirs or other peoples models. My nids have broken wing tips and ones lost a base from accidents which I can patch and replace in a way that’s not bad. But if one of my big boys got damaged like that I would riot. I have a very limited budget so these things get the highest of safety. I cannot believe that the store lets this guy stick around
About twenty years ago had a toxic player for my first game. They back handed some of my guys off the table for losing a small game (first timer so I did a quick game trying to introduce my self to the folks as no one knew me) kept the painting hobby but went back to DnD after that night. The kid that broke my guys did get banned later on from what I hear but.; made a few good friends that night, some of them still play DnD with me to this day.
hey North, i've got a question about Composit games do they also ship outside UK (europe)
thanks for your awnser! Love your vids!
No :( but I do ship if you win the monthly competition wherever you are. No competition this month as I literally have been swamped, October Halloween should be a doozy though!
Breaking models is a quick way to find out how Italian I am
Anyone know what game is being played on screen?
what is the music you are playing in the background?
I stopped running my Blood Bowl league about two years ago. We used to run the league every summer, about a dozen and a half of us. We even had a trophy. Ran for about 7 years I think.
I don't even play 40k but dropping a model that someone not only paid a huge amount of money for but also the time it took to paint is pure heresy.
Can someone please tell me the name of this game he is showing in the background?
When the guy dropped the Mastadon. I would've fukkin' dropped him! 👊
Fighting the urge to not punch a person like that needs a will of steel. It's the hours of building and painting, blood sweat and tears etc. disrespecting that and disrespecting you.
It's extreme provocation. To ban him is the way because I wait for the day that one day Warhammer bad behaviour is going to get someone killed one day.
I think a better way would have been to confront him there and then to ensure 100% that you would get compensation from him and not let him just run away without recourse. If he refused then is the time maybe to restrain him and call the cops for damage to property.
how do yall find game stores to play at i live in the big city but i cant find a single store where they do 40k games??
Have you tried asking any of your local hobby store staff? If there aren't any places near you already, maybe you could talk a shop into hosting a tournament!
@@dumpko thanks for the reply! that comment was froma year ago and ive since found a store that hosts games, but i appreciate the help!
Lucky he wasn't in Wisconsin. That sort of thing could get you a pretty hefty fine (up to $10k) and some jail time (up to 9 months) if someone wanted to prosecute.
Hail from Central Florida in the US. We have a Bloodbowl League that starts up each spring and last for a few months at a time.
To be honest. I am a hot-headed Irishman! You lasted longer than I would have! I wouldn't have put up with that from the start and an ex-squaddie. I am ft6 6 well built. (Hence the nickname BigJohn)
That's $583 on US Forgeworld.
Five HUNDRED and eighty-three US dollars.
He should have taken it in cash or teef, Frankie's choice.
its about $900 Aud here, fists would definitely be thrown over it.
That's a cool looking game in the background. Awesome vids man.
Wouldn't need to resort to any violence , Mr Frank would have paid for the damage plus the paint work which would have probably been to the tune of £1000 minimum .
I'm being very dumb. Which 40k video game is that you're playing in the video?
Oh boy. I think I’d have a tough time NOT finding this fellow later on ...
another great coffee & horror hobby story. Thanks
what is the game your playing while narrating this story ?
The mastodon thing would have definitely started a fight where I live
I never worked in GW. I'm also a very lay Warhammer fan (pretty much just going through HH books) - I think 40 (or 30)k is cool basically.
However, I worked at HMV for 6 years and though not a hobby space, I'd say that music/film/gaming is hobby adjacent and many of these customer service/retail stories are chiming with me like fuck. Bear in mind that a good chunk of your customers were probably hanging out in HMV before or after they visited you! HMV was oddball central
At the store I play 40K (Emperor’s Children player here), if you did what Franky did you’d be blacklisted from the store, not even barred from tourneys, you’d be banned from even shopping there
!st time watching and you just described the very reason why I stopped over a decade ago in Birmingham, with bad attitudes turning up spoiling the atmosphere it became nothing but an irritation. If any one had done that to mine I would be looking at court cases for violence. He has more patience than any guy deserved receiving and always the new players with spoilt attitudes.
Pardon my ignorance, but what game are you showing during the voice over? Looks like loads of fun!
Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters
Had a guy actually literally Tank Shock my unit of painted boys with his Leman Russ
I play Blood Bowl with the Geordie Blood Bowl League through Newcastle. Quite a big crowd
I actually ran a two blood bowl leagues for a group from the LGS. The later of which may be a considered a diet hobby nightmare
Bro if someone broke my $300+ model on purpose like that, I think I’d be going to jail. I spend far too much of my time and money on these things for someone to break it in a hissy fit and not leave bloody.
there must be a pound of flesh for every dollar pound of model broken.
yep nerds can be the biggest bullies.
Your click bait picture is the old gw in Manchester ❤️
Post match l removed my box of models from the table , which lifted my side of the table, my opponents army landed on the floor, then the terrain landed on the army then the table hit the floor at a 45 degree , bounce , and the edge of the table landed on some models who weren't being crushed by the terrain. This is my story of destroying an army.
Only time I’ve seen a model get damaged/destroyed was Yugioh players man. They’re urchins. Guy had a Stompaa when they first came out, it was sitting behind him as he was playing a 1000 point game and a kid came up picked it up, and just dropped it on the floor.
Ever sense then I try to stay on a side of the table where I can atleast keep one eye on my models. They’re more likely to be stolen especially if there is a yugioh/MTG tournament going on (in my personal experience).
The guy was upset, but not for long. The store owner was a really good guy and offered him store credit or a brand new one. So it had a happy ending
Can anyone tell me what warhammer game he is playing in this video? Thanks!
As someone who’s framed/remodeled houses for the last 6 years I can tell you..
it’s not that the guy fixing the tank _couldn’t_ make the seam on the bottom unnoticeable, it’s that “Nobody’s gonna see that part anyways…”
If that had been my tank, I wouldn't have stopped at one punch... Had that been my store, that guy wouldn't have just been banned for life, I'd kept him there until he had bought a replacement model and I was able to convince OP to have the cops called and press charges against that guy. After all, that tank is quite expensive to begin with, and if had a decent paint job then it would be quite easy to prove the value had gone quite up a bit since purchase. That guy was more than lucky,. More like some demon was enjoying his acts and made sure he got away with it.
I’m a new player in word bearers in HH & yeah loyalist word bearers is a hard sell lol. I’am trying to be a bit different though with assault marines, assault destroyers, ashen circle, seeker squad & jet bikes with a moritat hq in there with hellfire pistols lol. Everyone just says where’s the val gorbak & argel tal & yeah I love them (argel tal is my fav character with lorgor ). I will add them at some point but want something a little different than what everyone else plays. heavy on infantry more raven guard/ Heavy on infantry more like white scars/ blood angels style. But still with the all the chaos goodness in there in parts 😊.

There is an old blog called Five Geek Social Fallacies, that explains why nerd-hobbies often struggle with excluding toxic people.
Incom Gaming in Cheltenham has a Blood Bowl league! Hoping to join next year if I manage to acquire and paint the Skaven team! Working my way though painting Heroquest 2021 at the mo so a little too brassic and short on time what with my twin toddlers as well 😂
its a good place i need to play there more
The Horror story is the price of the Mastadon - in Australian dollarydoos! OoOooooOooOOOOooooo spooky 🤣
Opponent dropped my pewter Beetlefex with plastic Scything Talons which I had put on the lower (middle) limbs upside down, so they looked like they would sweep horizontally (in kind of a *scything* motion). Thing is, I had sodjered in those talong by heating the pewter, and the bond held as it dropped onto the curved tip of the talon, springboarding back up. I caught it on the first bounce, and everyone thought it was awesome.
As a rule of thumb, DONT EVER LET ANYONE HANDLE YOUR MODELS, spetially when they have allready exposed themselves as a toxic lil girl...
dear lord....your have more patience than I do...
I use 1994 space marine models painted deliberately bad ,and field them on table by tossing them in the air 'May the omnisiha guide me " the chipping paint can only add to the i planed that battle damage when i painted them . ps i would love for someone to try and break there hand on the old models.
I remember playing in a tournament for mtg back in the mid-late 90s where we played a wierd version of two headed giant. Anyway the douchebags where playing a winter orb control deck and the infamous "the deck". I was playing a elf/counter deck and my partner was playing a burn/land destruction deck. Well during the game i cought them cheating several times and when the end came and we burned them and won. Well these two grown ass men (they where in their 30-40s and we where under 18) lost their ever loving minds flipped the table into a display case and began stomping on all the cards on the ground which was now completely mixed up between all 4 of us. Well at this point the store owner had called the police and now several people are restraining the two shit heads. So end result is they where trespassed and arrested on several charges. Bonus because this was a odd tournament that likely would never be repeated several stores from the areas owners where present and banned them from their stores as well 🤣 in the end no real damage was done to our decks (they where it turned out stomping their own stuff 🤣) and the store owner kept their decks ad a down payment to replace all the stuff they had destroyed. Turned out he sued them and won over 10k in damages not including the cost of the cards forfeited. My friend and i ended up winning the tournament which was wrapped up the next morning and we got 2 boxes of cards as the Grand prize 🤣
Appreciate the endless entertainment. Was trying to hit the patreon, but it’s only showing the one higher tier available. Are you no longer accepting pleb support? Lol
