Anger Managment

[Gnr. Keil]

What do you do to those models that fail you?

[MSguardsmen]

in the Imperial Guard its either leading the charge against orks or chaos or the commissar.

There is no failure in the Grey Knights

[experiment 626]

my salamander force commander was demoted back to a scout after he slew a fething wraithlord in one round of combat, but then gloriously swept forwards to grab the objective and triped on a land mine instead...

and then there's the priest w/eviscerator who was caged, excomunicated and his remains blasted into the nearest sun after he blew up 13 of my guardsmen taking out a penitent engine!
i still haven't lived this one down...

overall, i don't get mad at the model, i just write a fitting punishment/grisly end for them!
it's the dice that suffer my true wrath and end up being knocked about by an old hockey stick!

cheers!

I throw them into CC with an Avatar, and the bloody idiots WIN through somehow... They couldn't kill the swooping hawks who kept running away, so I threw them against the avatar, and the bowled it over and killed it in one round. I have now painted the aspiriring chapions base with gold letters that say "I Killed An Avatar'. Also trying to somehow get some Eldar/Avatary bits in on him and the squad. Like Tryanid hunters for smurfs, but these boys are chaos and hunt Eldar.

Step 1. Tub of acetone.
Step 2. Put ruler across acetone.
Step 3. Put failure model on ruler.
Step 4. On a 6+, he lives, if not........
Step 5. Drop match; drop model.





Cruel. Stupid. Wasteful. Yeah, that's what I would do.

lol being a modeler on a budget, i generally just pull out my razor blade, hack off the bits i want to keep, and put the rest of it somewhere else..haha
:]

[Inquisitor Rosenadel]

I have a Chaplain who, when the assault counts, can never live up to the pressure. I just insult him... I don't really get that angry. But the rest of the chapter laughs at him too so he feels like crap... or is that me...

[Dan296]

i pat him (or it) on the back and say 'better luck next time' and give it to my 6 year old cousin for an hour.

[Killermoose]

Everyone shares the blame in my army. Though my Autarch's failure to hit a Sentinel in combat for 3 turns, and each turn missing on a 1, really annoyed me. I let him off as he spends all his time deepstriking within 6 inches of tanks for that lovely melta rule (he's never failed so far actually, he's blown up a Fire Prism, a Basilisk, and a Leman Russ, all at the edge of the board - lucky git!)

[rintinglen]

I personally can't afford to destroy my models, (much though I would often like to) but I saw a guy over at the bunker store launch his dreadnought and shatter it into pieces. Apparently, his armour wasn't as stout as STC standards require.

[Lord Erak Grimnar]

I can't afford to punish them physially. But maybe when I write the fluff they will be executed or something. I know a certain bloodclaw needs a promotion also need to add "I hurt a c'tan after" on it and a ven dread need to have "I blew myself up to hurt the c'tan" added.

I knew one guy who played fantasy high elves. Whenever he got angry he started smashing his models so many broken spears and chariots. I wouldn't play with a person like that mainly cause I would be scared of that unit in close combat

ROTFL!!! Sooo funny man!

+rep just for the heck of it!

[Dan296]

i saw someone doing this at my GW yesterday. he played IG, and (though only infantry models) whenever something failed him alot, he added to his last chancers! he has a menagerie of guys, and it was pretty funny.

[Killermoose]

I still have a special respect for my Exarch with 2 Shruiken Catapults and 1 Dire Avenger (all that was left from a 10 man sqaud after there being about 10 heavy bolters and an Inferno Cannon on the board) when they took out 5 IG on HB Heavy Weapons platforms using Bladestorm. That turned the game around, and meant that I actually did some damage to his force (it was a nutty game, I only had an Avatar and a few Dire Avengers left on the board, he just had a few gaurdsmen and half a HQ sqaud- all this after 4 turns on 1500 points). I now forgive him for every time the sqaud screws up- which is often.

[Stubber]

My friend treats his IG as if they were compleatly expendable...he has so many of them they pretty much are expendable.

On more than one occasion when a model failed him he beat it repeatedly with this massive wooden block we had for a ruler.

[Cagarner]

Hmm, if I was crazy enough to sacrifice my men becouse of failiers, I would probably slowly lower the models into a pot of Polystyrene Cement. For failing me, they will be melted out of existance!!!!

[Stubber]

He occasionally baits the dog with men who have failed him too.

[hairyyahoo]

Now this has gotten me all worked up.

I feel morally obliged to stand up for the little plastic/metal blighters. after all, its not their fault. They try as hard as they came to earn your approval, but they are let down by the true villans;
dice!!!

Thats right ladies and gents, dice! Those innocent looking, cubic, random number generators 'o pure evil. Just when you need 'em most these little sods let you down. What the hell? I paid good money for those dice and they go and fail me? ME?!? Dammit, I am their dice god! Not some abstract concept of chance and probability!!! ME!

Worry not my good chums, there is a way to ensure your dice stay in line and resect your Or-thori-tar. Follow these simple guidlines;
1. Pick up the offending dice and give it your best disappointed look.
2. Shake your head and make tutting noises
3. Say "couldn't take the strain huh? real shame that"
4. Hold it out to the other dice saying "say goodbye to your little friend here, he/she couldn't cut the mustard"
5. Leave the room with the now sorry excuse for a dice and return some minutes later without it.
6. Address the rest of your dice saying something along the lines of, "now i sincerely hope that that is the last of that sort of unpleasantness"

Congratulations! Your dice now fear and respect you!

And remember, its not the minis fault.

[Cagarner]

Oh, I find that that making a quick prayer to the Dice God works best.

[NileChild]

I'll surround fire warriors that screw up with hormagaunts and genestealsers and let them suffer. I think a new addition to the chaos dex, when they get around to it, should be the fifth god of chaos, the dice god, I can see it now, giant fuzzy dice could be greater demons.....

[Draconis Argentus Falzone]

You know. Malal was the 5th Chaos god, and his colors were black and white...

Why not have marines painted to look like white dice with black spots?

Or you could be like me, and throw them hopelessly against an ass can land speeder, and they kill it... Craziness!

[hairyyahoo]

if giant furry dice are the greater daemons, what will the lesser daemons and daemonic beasts gonna look like?

D3 and D12's. The outcasts of the dice family.

[hairyyahoo]

gasp! naming the nameless ones?!? blasphemer!!!

how about scatter dice as greater and d6 as lesser?
