That was way worse than I remember. Like I remember the stalking but not "you can play with my models"
Which reminds me of a few weeks ago on the local FB page, a guy was looking for a "casual game" the standard around here is 2k for 40k, so I ask if that's okay with him but he's super insistent on it being 2500, he also offers to let me borrow his models. Which is kinda funny because I have more impulse than sense and have waaaaaaaay too many models including a poor deprived warlord sitting in pieces on my work table. The following week I decide to take him up on his offer, I had a funny but terrible idea of a bunch of Tyranid warriors, gargoyles, and broodlords I wanted to try.

Never again.

It took 4 hours.

Dude played at a glacial pace, now while I'm used to tournament play and wasn't expecting him to match that kind of pace what I wasn't expecting was the first turn taking so long, and oh god the salt. I didn't realize how hilarious broodlords were in combat, I had an idea but daaaamn. It ended up being one of those games where I skipped things just to get it over with. Never again.

Oh yeah, this is a whole other category of terrible nerd - always wants to play bigger-than-standard games and is really insistent about it, and they always seem to believe that the only reason you wouldn't want to start a 2500pt game at 8pm is because you don't own enough stuff so of course you can borrow their horribly painted garbage to make up the points!

Keep the stories coming people, I'm feeling like this collective purge of nerd sins is good for us.

So instead I'm going to say that the rough paint on Mort doesn't look too bad what with the whole 'decay and pestilence' theme he's got. Also helps that he has no skin showing (I think this guy just gave up on skintones long ago and paints from the bottle).

The paint jobs consistently leave something to be desired but there's definitely a few conversions that don't seem to be too bad. The Emperor could be decent looking with a better paint job and Dorn wasn't bad either, for instance.

Terrifying :words:
As I've gotten older, I've gotten way more direct with people who are annoying. I was playing in an Infinity tournament at GenCon when a "friendly onlooker" decided to become interested in the game I was playing. It was clear he was at least familiar with Infinity, as he knew the factions and recognized some of the units. But that familiarity only made his constant questions and comments more annoying, because he should have known that Infinity is one of those games where you have to pay loving attention to what's happening on the board at any given time. Once it became clear that he was looking to "settle in," I finally just said, "Sorry, man, I don't mean to be rude, but I really need to focus on the game and you are hugely distracting." To his credit, he basically said "Oh, cool, no worries" and hosed off. But had I not said anything, I doubt he'd have left of his own volition.

You asked for it so I'm telling. This folks is the story of "touch cloth" the model eater.

Touch cloth is a loving goomba, a loving chud, a god dam anthropomorphic personification of social retardedness whom hangs around my LFG harassing gamers with his presence.

He played in some big shop tournament team in the past, so he was tolerated for his skills at cards and Fantasy. If only he had any social skills.

So one day, playing a 40k game with a friend, 'touch cloth' waddles in to watch.

Now 'touch cloth' predictably is a gigantic man thing, tall as he is wide. Unpredictably he talks in a squeaky voice, a voice and (I poo poo you not) which sounds like the wheel chair guy out of little Britain.

Anyway, so playing a good game of 40k while being observed by him, I notice my friend go white in the face. Following his gaze I observed 'touch cloth' gleefully shove a model of mine, out of my case into his mouth... In some sort of misguided joke for attention.

Frankly I was stunned... (also a social tard myself at the time and I found assertive aggression hard). Thankfully my friend had no such restraint and promptly told him to spit it out and gently caress right off.

Over the next year or two I had more non model run ins with 'touch cloth' (even once finally standing up and telling him to gently caress off on my own).

Vindication came after coming back from a break from 40k, a break where I worked in a inner city rehab clinic and did some Bar/bouncer work.

Touch cloth waddles his gravity-well over in my direction. I knew he was going to do something, he always did. As he reaches into my carry case to paw my stuff, I look the giant chud gently caress in his fat face, stare into his soul and shake my head slowly. He stops, looks down in shame and rolls swiftly away.

Since then he stays away. (took me long enough to manage sadly)

Did I ever tell you my favorite color was blue?
Goons, looking for some thoughts on my Zone Mortalis list. At the moment I am looking at running with:

HQ
- Captain on a Bike /w Shield Eternal, and Thunderhammer - 136

Elites
- 3x Primaris Aggressors /w Boltstorm Gauntlets - 111

Troops
- 2x 5-Man Scouts /w Shotguns - 110

Fast Attack
- 5x Primaris Inceptors /w Assault Bolters - 225

Heavy Support
- 5x Primaris Hellblasters /w Plasma Incinerators - 165

A rule of thumb about ZM is that slow units that lack the ability to deepstrike are a bad choice. At the moment the Hellblasters kind of fall in that category, however the close confines of your typical ZM table means they will almost always have rapid fire. Also, here is a list of stratagems that will be available, a few of which help to mitigate problems faced by slower units.

- Tunnel Access (3CP): Place 3 hatch marker 12 in apart and 6 in from a table edge. You may place up to two infantry units into reserve. Deploy both units at the end your movement phase within 6 in of a hatch and more then 9 in from an enemy unit. Roll a die for each model deployed this way, for each roll of 1 a model is removed.
- Flanking Counter Assault (2CP): Place 1 infantry unit in reserve. Must be deployed at the end of your movement phase within 3 in of enemy deployment edge and more then 9¡± from an enemy model
- Roll a die for each model deployed this way, for each roll of 1 a model is removed.
- Can Not use both Tunnel Access & Flanking Counter Assault.
- Sustained Assault (3CP): Declare you are using this stratagem before deployment. Secretly choose one of your units. When this unit is destroyed they my redeploy at the end of your next movement phase within 6 in of your table edge. Does not cost reinforcement points. Does award Kill Points if used each time it is destroyed.
- Booby Traps/Sentry Guns (2CP): Use when an enemy units (Deploys, Appears, Comes on to the table, etc.) with 12¡± of one of your units. Enemy loses models on rolls of 1&2.
- Barricades (1CP): Gain Three 4 in Barricaded, May be placed anywhere on the tables. (Players musts provide their own barricades)
- Reactive Fire (1CP): Select a unit firing overwatch, that over watch is resolved at full ballistic skill for Pistol, rapid fire, and assault weapons.

The tale of Touch Cloth the Vile

I've had that happen before as well. Thing is, this dude was pretty much the anti-chud. Decent looking, generally fun to be around, basic self-grooming but he just did not know when to let a joke die.

So I'm playing a game with someone else and he comes over to watch, we're meant to go grab a bite to eat after this match and he's cracking jokes about eating the terrain and all that if it takes much longer. Out of the corner of my eye I notice him pick up dead models and slowly draw them towards his mouth, funny at first but it starts getting tiresome quick when he starts doing it to models still in game. Eventually I tell him seriously to knock it off, at which point he snatches up a dude and pops it into his mouth.

Naturally at this point we're telling him to gently caress off with that gross poo poo, but the fucker decides to go a step beyond and bites down, soft enough to not smash the model, but hard enough to break off a weapon, which he swallows and immediately starts choking on.

Needless to say I didn't speak to him for months, or use that poor Marine ever again.
