I love it when cheaters get caught and can't lie or bully their way out. Cheating is the lowest.
Worst experience ever at a GW shop, I won’t name it. My daughter loves playing games and we have maybe 50-60 complex board games, and so at 13-14 I took her to the nearby GW shop. She had an extra day off school compared to the local kids so I figured she would get a chance to play, etc. I had played with friends one the very early days of 40k, and had for a long time bought models just to paint ( my first GW experience was the original citadel adventurer set and citadel paint set). I figured a fun war game might be interesting, plus I wouldn’t have to learn all the rules. When we went onto the shop we chatted to the manager and the people in there. It was clear however we were disturbing their friend time. He asked if we wanted to buy a box set, and I was like not today, ideally just get a game, see if she likes it, maybe take away a box of something to paint (my daughter is also arty). At that point the manager said he was really busy, but would give her a quick game, me thinks cool, it will burn up some time and at least can see if she is into it. He puts a basic marine force down for her, and says he’ll just get some enemies to fight, he proceeds to annihilate the marines in two turns and then asks what do you think, as you can imagine that is not going to work for a kid who is a good strategist and gamer. I swear to god they had a person who might have for the next 10 years been in the hobby, had me buying Christmas presents etc. some people in war gaming hobbies are the worst, but even for self interest alone you think he’d see that but obviously winning in front of his friends was cool. Asked my daughter if she wanted to try another place she was like I don’t get what people see in it, I explained he was a dick, and that another shop might be better. Her view was it probably wasn’t worth the effort. This is a big reason they struggle to bring in new people, you get one chance to impress.
Damn that model is amazing 😍
Lovely model!
Glad you are feeling better exile .
That second story was not all that different from mine that was read last week. It goes to show that if something seems off, don't be afraid to see that rule as long as you do so politely. Hell this whole video is a lesson in if you see something say something.
Ohhhhhhh... look at that Void Talon... Just gorgeous!
Its a shame since I love 40k so much but it really is true. The game is set up in such a way that you have to know everything about your opponents army and its rules. Sure you can just say "well most people are honest so its an exception when that happens", even if thats true you are still having to assume that the opponent actually knows their own rules to begin with, because they could be as honest as they come yet still get things wrong resulting in advantages to them unintentionally.
The models down the stairs reminded me of a 40K event I attended and as all the gamers were marching up the stairs to get into the venue some guy near the front had their case open and all the models fall down the stairs….. never seen so many gamers be so nimble to try and avoid the models but unfortunately some did get crushed under people feet.
I knew a guy back in the late 90s / 2000s who would play MtG and throw his lotus deck against the wall when it didn't work and he would lose... I also knew a guy who would shuffle-stack his deck by thumbing cards. This happens across many hobbies and I had seen my fair share of cheaters on tabletop battle tech then 40k doing cheats then getting upset when busted.
wait, spray painted grey is still not tournament standard minus 10 points for that!
First story, I knew that guy. I saw the whole aftermath too. He’s married. He was flirting while married, and the girl was absolutely not into him.
Northerns Testes Dropped? Oh no, just a cold... 🤣
Salamanders with hamners, yes!
thats a beautiful model, excellent painter that guy
I had already knew that things were bad with "dave" when I heard he had Eldar
I do think player etiquette, community and attitude is not what it used to be.
We don't have a public register like the US, To know if someone is on ours you have to ring the police and ask about individuals to stop PDF file hunters from making the register shorter...
To the second author. No, the entire hobby is not like this. The local store I play at has dozens of cool, normal guys.
I would be so disappointed to have to face an unpainted army. Seeing the paint jobs is a huge part of the joy of the hobby for me.
