"Games Workshop are all about
money I think everyone should refuse to buy their products until
the prices come down, or everyone should e-mail them and tell
them how crap it is when they add a couple of £'s or $'s for no
good reason. If the prices dont go up then the number of mini's
you get is reduced. Also the new army books (fantasy) are cheaper
yes, but you cant use any of the old special characters any more
and Ive heard that the prices are due to go up again! This is our
hobby, we made them what they are today and they should respect
our wallets/purses. GW still keeps opening new shops all the time
so they cant be simply putting up prices just because they need
the cash. WE MUST TELL THEM WE WONT STAND FOR THIS
ANYMORE!!!!"
- Soulfyre
"I HATE THE WAY THAT
MINIATURES CONTINUE TO GO UP IN PRICE AND YET THE QUALITY IS
GOING DOWN AND DOWN.... WHY THE F**K DOES 5 SPACE MARINES WITH
JUMP PACKS COST £12?? THATS F**KING SHIT. THE PAINTS ARE TO
EXPENSIVE, THE BRUSHES (DON'T EVEN BOTHER BUYING THEM FROM GAMES
WORKSHOP) ALL THE ACCESSORIES ARE FAR TOO EXPENSIVE. I THINK ALL
OF US SHOULD START UP OUR OWN FIRM WITH OUR OWN PAINTS,
MINIATURES, AND ACCESSORIES. I SENT AN E-MAIL TO GAMES WORKSHOP
THAT SAID JUST ABOUT THIS AND THEY (OF COURSE) DIDN'T ANSWER!
FUCK THEM AND FUCK THEIR MINIATURES."
- OLE
"I hate it when little kids
at the GW look at my well painted minatures then spend about an
hour looking for a fault and spend the rest of the afternoon
reminding me of it.
I hate it when little kids are ENCOURAGED to scream and shout
just so their goddamn army gets first turn!
I hate it that space wolves are undoubtably the hardest marines,
and ultramarines are just plain old boring!
I hate it that everytime a new army comes out they have it play
against another army in white dwarf and GUESS WHAT THE NEW ARMY
ALWAYS WINS SO THEY PRAISE HOW AMAZING IT IS!
There is so much more but...i can't be assed."

"I hate when you get out of
the pool... no wrong place... I hate that Necrons now and
probably will always have ONLY 5 MINIATURES!!! C'MON!!! How hard
can it be to release ONE MINI in like 2 years!!! We aren't asking
for that much... **sniff sniff**"
-DemiGod
"I hate that Gw.... No wait,
I don't hate anything about Gw.
Im in the wrong place here."
-Captain Logan Hicks
"Well, my rant is that Troy
still hasn't signed my guest book at CAUTION - WET PAINT
http://www.angelfire.com/games2/cautionwetpaint/
Neither has what's his name, his brother. "Brian?...no, uhm,
Terry?...no, not that one either...? OH YEAH, KYLE!" That's
him, he hasn't signed my book either! If you know what's good for
you, you better sign! I know where both of you live, AND WHERE
YOU KEEP YOUR MINIATURES! :)"
-Kenneth (in Hawaii) Taba
"The difference between snot and broccoli? Kids won't eat
broccoli."
"I hate that GW has NO
ability to restrict the fluff they pump out so it is perfectly
acceptable to create an army with any composition (after coming
up with a half baked force org chart). I hate that the guys at GW
seem to feel that each codex has to have more ridiculous unfair
crap in it for less points thatn the last, so they can swagger
around like an idiot saying how good their army is. I hate that
GW releases games and sucks money from people's pockets and then
abandons them. I hate that every chapter approved list screws
someone cos after all land raiders should be able to fire an
extra weapon at BS2 and ignore "crew stunned results"
for no extra cost. I hate that there are 5 space marine codexes
and still none for half the damn armies.
- I think I need to lie down now."
-Anonymous
"For the record, I don't call
Troy's Brother "Troy's brother". I call him Kenneth.
Thats not his name either."
-Brian
"know what i hate? i hate
people who post personal problems on other peoples guest books.
*kicks self in the ass*
sorry kitsune."
-Joshua
"instead of going in and
delving for revenge, which i could easily do against certain
pompous, over bearing lard asses, i wont. ill mearly state what i
love instead. i love it when im sitting down for a game, and a
new guy comes up and i welcome him. then, seeing how well painted
his minniatures, i show him my army, all layed out on the board
and here these kind, wonderful words; "those arent grey
knights! their shitty! you should see the REAL paint job in the
white dwarf blah blah blah blah" just fills my heart with so
much happiness that i want to burst. or, how about when i talk to
a friend about the sca, and the afformentioned individual steps
in. i mention that i had been to an event similar to the one
being discussed, as i was still in the conversation, and am told
"no you havent." boy, its great when people just assume
things, especially when they dont know me from adam.
bottom line, lard ass john, is that i have just givin several
instances on the reasons i refuse to play you, sit near you, hang
out with people who hang out with you all the time, or talk to
you. care to do the same? please, limit yourself to things i have
supposedly done *to you*, to keep from confusion. i still have a
whole bag of things youve done to me.
for the record, you have no idea about anything that went on in
my last game store. this is for the benefit of the people reading
this message. i had a great game store in texas. there was one
asshole who had some friends, and therefor they hated me to, and
made my life a living hell down there with accusations of theft,
cheating and other things. things which, because there was a
store camera, i was proven innocent of. thank you for proving
what a dribling big mouth you are, spouting something off before
you even find out the full truth. again. for the second time that
i know of."
-Josh *****
"I'm a regular monday night
gamer, and normally a reasonably nice guy. Except when one dude,
known to me as Chris, shows up. Oh my gawd this guy is just an
enormous throbbing prick. He bitches about people showing up
late, but he pulls the same BS, not even bringing his stuff,
fuckin tithead. The thing that really pisses me off about this
schlong, is the fact that I have to put up with his " Bitch
this, Slut that, Whore the other..." Obviously you can't get
none, other wise you wouldn't be polluting my air, and disturing
my fucking game. This sad man is so full of himself he even goes
around asking stores " do you have a tourney coming up? I
need extra points to go to the grand tourney" even though
his chaos army blows and is the cheesiest shit I've ever seen.
Definately can't get laid..."
-shaft
"I hate eldar how they get ol
the best stuff and the space marine i collect DARK ELDAR THEY
KICK ASS! i like chaos but dark eldar talos is muts beter then
bloodthirster"
-d.j axile
"You know what I hate: Josh
*****. PLAIN & SIMPLE. all talk, no action, just whine whine,
whine. I'm not afraid to say it, and I for one cannot wait till
he leaves to go plague the gamers in VA
When he does leave, I can't wait for him to leave, so we can
celebrate our liberation from his annoying behaviors. HEADS UP !
Nerdboy-If gamers in two seperate states can't stand you, it's
not them, it's YOU!"
-Big John
"I hate:
1. that 10 space marines cost £12.
2. Orks can't win in battles bigger than 2000 points (just try
getting across 36 inches of open ground with 9 eldar scatter
lasers pointing at you).
3. how Eldar get the best stuff.
4. how people gripe about their army weaknessess, then kick my
ass.
5. how my club never play scenarios.
6. that I can't pass leadership tests for ld 10 humans in
warhammer fantasy, or dispel skaven magic on a 2+ (sorry about
that, but I could'nt help myself).
7. the way everyone reminds me about how crap I am, when I have
beaten them all at least once.
8. people don't use enough terrain.
I think that's everything, wow that feels way better. "
- warlord Dakkagor the evil (aka Dave)
"I f**king hate the new 40k
rules and the fact that I have to pay shit loads of cash to get a
box filled with f**king dark eldar just to get a rule book. I
hate the fact that the ultramarines don't have there own codex
even though the space wolves, blood angels and dark angels have
theirs even though 50% of all space marines are based on
ultramarine gene seed, I hate that the bloodthirster has ws 9 and
that chaos has such powerful specials, I hate the fact that in 5
games my storm trooper have not killed one bloke, I hate paint
brush crust, the new skinny codexes, snakebite leather paint,
gloss varnish, superglue on my fingers, drill bits that go back
in to the drills, I hate when I roll 30 D6's to shoot and get 27
1's, but what I hate most of all is the plague wind power that
turns my IG troops into F**CKING NURGLINGS which cost the chaos
player nothing and have three attacks so they then proceed to rip
through my troops in H2H combat AND THE FACT THAT THE CHAOS
PLAYERS NEVER HAVE NURGLING MODELS TO REPRESENT THEM BUT WANT
THEM NONE THE LESS. And I HATE THAT MY BRAINSPACE IS FILLED WITH
USELESS FIGURES OF AP VALUES OF WEAPONS THAT NO ONE USES LIKE
F**CKING HEAVY WEBBERS AND STUBBERS!!!!"
-WHY DO I LOVE THIS GAME
"One weapon I hate is Dark
Eldar Disintregrators. They are the same as plasma cannons,
except they don't overheat and the're cheaper.EWWW! Plus, one 3
disintergrator armed ravager can take out 1 10 man squad of
marines by itself in one turn."
-Shal'tan the Dae'jin
"I hate it when someone calls
a codex cheesy just because they almost got beat by a twelve year
old, especially when they should be thanking providence that they
managed to finally win a game against someone other than Troy's
brother. I mean, that twelve year old should be ashamed for
joining Troy's brother in the stinking pit of defeat. Calling
something cheesy just because you lost or "almost" lost
is a sign of being a poor sport (among other things). I mean, if
something is cheesy because you lost to it, then when you do win,
*your* army must be cheesy because your opponent lost to
it."
-Delirium
"I hate it when people think
that just because they crush Troy's brother's army they're all
that. I mean, everybody beats Troy's brother, it's like a right
of passage. It's the first thing every new gamer does. Heck, even
Troy's brother would beat Troy's brother if he ever played Troy's
brother."
-sorry, I couldn't help myself
"I hate it when you buy
several squds of hormagaunts to get shot up instead of your
'stealers and your hormagaunts kill everything thru fluke and
your stealers do nothing. I also hate land raiders for just being
there. I also hate how my last complaint didn't have a reason...?
WHERE'S MY CODEX!!??"
-man whose friends are idiots.
"I Hate people who bitch
about Eldar being beardy... Not my fault you picked a boring
army. With Eldar, if you don't have the right squad at the right
place at the right time, YOU DIE....QUICK. but play them right,
hehehe"
-Farseer Mike
"I hate on sundays at my
local GW all the little 12-13 year olds are in their asking
stupid things like 'can you give Marneus Calgar a jump pack' or
ask 'is that a conversion?' pointing at the elaberate 14 week
$300.00 40k scale Chaos titan you just built. Thats f***ed in the
ear with a bent pole!"
-Konzaburo, CEO of the 'meat in a cone' fund
"I also now hate:
Wraithlords-how do you kill these before they get to you?
Banshees-Ugh, power weapons.
Dark Reapers-Aaarggh, rapid firing rocket launchers, my power
armour is useless!
Opponent who included all of the above plus Avatar, Kandaras,
scorpions, Falcon with wargear that allows it to shoot twice, and
farseer to cast guide on Dark Reapers!
To make things worse, he is really lucky, we are playing on open
desert battlefield, and the Reapers are in cover. Naturally I'd
taken an army of powerful troops on foot in power armour..."
-Andrew Cairns
"I hate space marines...they
can all go to hell, and i hate the prices of all gw stuff....oh
and did i mention i hate white(shit)dwarf, i hate that the
tyranid codex still isn't out...and all an all i hate playing
stupid retards that have been playing for yrs and still haven't
painted their fig's....and i hate 2nd edition..it sucked
cock.."
-Richard Nixon
"i DESPISE the way GW have
left tonnes of background out of the chaos codex , particularly
on the chaos gods .What happened to Tzeentch , the master of
magic , fate and the mutable time stream or Khorne , the master
of blood skulls , war etc? "
-Mortarion
"i hate the GW price
increases on paints. from now on im using ral partha and glossy
coating it. it looks the same after that. im not using citidel
unless i absolutly cannot help it, like codex grey. there isnt
anything else to match it. but thats about the only thing ill
use...ral partha primer is better, more and less expensive. same
with their clear coat. oh, and i also hate hate hate hate hate
hate hate the new Grey Knights rules. i know you all know that. i
just felt like venting. maybe ill set up games against someone
who promises to use alot of daemons so i can use them more
often..."
-The Cheshire Cat
"This is technically not a
rant, but since I ragged all over GW & their defective
clearcoat, I feel it necessary to point out that I recieved an
E-mail from GW customer service & they are going to replace
the messed up mini's, as well as assuring me that the bugs with
the matte spray are fixed (HA! I've got enough dullcoat to
protect 5 armies!)"
-John "Oh good! More mini's to paint..." Hughes
""YOU KILLED FRITS. YOU
STINKIN FARIES" I hate all who have no clue as to which
movie that quote is from. TO HELL WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!"
-@#$% OFF
"I HATE when you accidentally
break off a part of one of your models! I especially HATE when I
knock over my lictor and one of its big claws break off...it
makes me wanna punch myself in the face!"
-Bjarke
"I hate being known as Troy's
brother. All my life I'm known as Troys brother or Troys younger
brother. And when someone does say a name, they get us mixed up
and call me Troy."
-Troys Brother
"I really HATE it when you
spend weeks painting a new army, and when you get the BRAND
F***ING NEW can of Citadel Matte clearcoat (the one with the
translucent cap) (Incidentally purchased at GECKO BOOKS) and it
TURNS THE ENTIRE ARMY WHITE! YES, SNOW F***ING WITE ON TOP OF THE
PAINT JOB THAT TOOK WEEKS AND TOTALLY RUINED IT! (not to mention
wrinkling the new transfers, at least what you can see through
the white frosting.) Not to mention that the Mutant manager of
GECKOS after being shown the damage just offered to replace the
Matte coat with a new can of THE SAME STUFF THAT JUST DESTROYED
200+$ of my MINIATURES!!!! See if I buy anything ever again from
those FREAKS even if they are only 10 minutes away...BEWARE THE
NEW TRANCELUCENT CAPPED CITADEL MATTE VARNISH! TEST ON SOMETHING
UNIMPORTANT BEFORE USING ON YOUR GOOD STUFF! I'm using testor's
DULLCOTE from now on... "
-John "now I'm gonna have to get more F***ing minis..."
Hughes
"I hate that jarivs F***ED
over the dark angels so bad in 3er edition."
-graywind
"Lascannon bouncing off
Gretchen.... Gretchen blastas carving through Arbiter Armour and
an Iron Halo to take away the last wound on your Librarian...
People fielding armies consissting only of heavy shootas with
legs when you're playing Catachan IG without much
terrain..."
-Paranoid Catachan Guy
"i hate little kids who tell
you that your painting sux and you have a look at theirs and is
is total †*#Û****, thankyou i just wanted someone to
know."
-Archon Demo_goblin
"I hate that the comabt rules
are so unrealistic. I mean enough concentrated lasgun fire would
take out a tank. And if their going to talk about the different
kinds of ammo in the rulebook. MAKE RULES FOR IT> oh well
thats what house rules are for."
- Maud'Dib lord of the Feydakin
"i hate those damn goblin
squig hobbers i wish they would change the rules on the little
stupid things!they are almost impossible to beat with a chaos
army without tzcheech(i spelled dat wrong)daemons.i hate those
dirty little #@!#@!$!!@$!$%&%***"
-Orcz n goblin hater
"I hate it when people don't
undercoat!! Argh!!! What planet are they on??!?!?!"
-Marc the agrivated
"I personally hate munchkins.
The powergaming morons, not the vertically challenged. I recall a
"friend" of mine asking me if he could sell back the
included bolt pistols on his space marines, in order to buy
another devastator squad. He was pissed that I wouldn't allow it.
As I told him: "Look, Rick, if you asked those space marines
to give up their sidearms because you want to cheat, they would
smack you around and then open up your skull with a chainsword. I
don't have a chainsword, but I feel the same way." 'Nuff
said."
-Maelstrom
"What I don't like is when
people won't try new Ideas or rule variants from say, Citidal
journal just becauses it's not in white Dwarf and therefore not
'legal'. Hey! This is a game to play aroundand have fun with, and
not a strict Military wargame exercse where the rules are canon.
"
-Shawn Albritton
"Wraithlords. Nuff
said."
-Will Beyer
"i hate space wolves. i hated
them in second edition and i hate them now. i hate whoever
designed them and decided that it was ok for them to ignore every
rule that governs every other chapter of space marines, and i
hate whoever came up with the idea of their psychic powers. i
hate the paint job and i hate the models (especially the scouts.
yuck!) i hate whoever said "hey, i have an idea!" in
reference to creating the codex, and i hate whoever said
"hey, that *is* a good idea!". i think they should both
be shot, along with mike mcvey and whoever designed the scouts. i
nearly got beat by a twelve year old. why? because his space
wolves simply were better. everything about them is better. their
heavy weapons, their dreadnoughts, their psychic powers. when
basic squads can get power fists, i find fault in it. when a
basic squad with a librarian can charge into my and get 40
attacks and a 5+ cover save, i find fault with it. i have only
lost to them once, and that was a fun game against troys brother.
but i still hate them."
-The Cheshire Cat
"I curse GW for ever creating
Dark Lances! Just the thought of them makes me think twice about
bringing out my 250 pt land raider......"
-Chris
"Well Lets us see here. Being
very new to the game. I have only played twice with less then a
1000 pts of necrons. It took me 2 months to find the rules for
the necrons Because GW doesn't seem to want to support them. But
hey the models are great and I still like to play them. Whats
better then I fall down. Then I get back Up fully healed. :o) But
I would like to see a reasonable way that Necrons can deal with
Terminators other then with only the Necron Lord. An AP 2 weapon
or Power weapons for Assult troops. Something like that. Thanks
you for let the Vent,"
-The Great J.C.
"When a squad of ten troops
are in a transport 5 of them get to shoot. If that same squad is
reduced to 5 only 2 of them can shoot . An assassian with a
sniper rifle can target a heavy weapons trooper and and have it
removed as a causalty. If the heavy weapons trooper is hit by a
bolter the squad will pick up the heavy and continue on. I don't
mean to go off on a rant here but..."
-Anonymous
"Why, when my farseer throws
his Singing Spear, the only thing that can kill that Predator
Anihilator breathing down my neck and I need a 2+ to hit i roll a
1, then break after being wounded, then rally, come back, miss
three more times, then get killed by a volley of four rockets
from a devastator squad. And that's not the only time that's
happened."
-Michael C-S
"I wish to complain about
people complaining. It's just an attempt to get noticed, and It
takes up alot of time and annoys people. I think It's time for
something to be done about It. AHH! (sound of Muffeled scream as
a 20 Ton anvil is droped from above onto Shawn's Body.)"
-Shawn Albritton
"I hate it when I get really
drunk and accidentally sleep with the fat ugly bird..."
-Poor Bugger
"I hate Blood Angels-OK I had
a bad game against them- I now hate the way they can have 2 extra
hard force commanders for every force orginization chart, and
nearly every unit in thier army can kill my close combat
experts-and they still have devastators and other heavy support!
(my dreadnought noticed)"
-Andrew Cairns
"I hate it when the cashier
at Manoa Gardens cards me every drink I buy (c'mon I was over 21
the last time you looked at the ID). Oh wait, you wanted Gaming
rants. I hate it when gamers try to play fantasy games under
"real life" presumptions. Yes, bolters can kill tanks
with a lucky shot from the rear, stop driving your tanks
ass-backwards, problem solved."
-Delirium
"I hate old annoying people
who think they know everything about WH40K just because they have
been playing since RT but they just cheat constantly, or have no
clue what they are doing ("Did you read the rulebook? No,
did you read the rulebook? NO, it's right HERE IN THE RULE BOOK
SEE!!! SMAK SMAK SMAK DIE! DIE! DIE!) Of course he didn't read
the rulebook. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. "
- Adam
"I wish the Necrons would get
some additional rules and respect. For a squad with only a little
information released, and some kick-ass miniatures, it would be
great to see more!"
-Jason Robinette
"I hate when you can't
remember if a rule is from 2nd or 3rd edition."
-Kyle Arkaki
"I hate it how the new rules
are so strict about other companies models and making your own
rules. Just when I was planning a 'chainsaw warrior'."
-Alex Holker
"I can't say I hate this-but
I am rather perterbeb that opponents are afraid to let me play
Jokaero Monkeys sometimes. I DO HATE that no one even knows what
they are! I didn't sculpt the damn things so I couldn't use
them!!!!"
-Gabe Sainz
"You and me both, john. i
learned real quick not say "surprise me" when telling
the shaved ice lady what flavor i want..."
-Joshua
"HOWZIT! I hate when I'm
walking down on Waikiki and the top of my shaved ice falls off
onto the concrete. I hate that."
-John Banagan
"Know what i hate? i hate it
when your brothers slaneesh champion on the steed and his retinue
violates my entire side of the board. grrrrr. :)"
-Joshua K. Meade
"It drives me nuts when my
opponents call me a wimp because I would rather shoot at his
1,000 point Warboss with nobz rather than letting them assault
me!"
-Ned Kelly
"I hate it when someone
treats each individual miniature like it is a member of his
family. 'Oh no, he'll die!' ARRRGGGGHHH!!!!! Play the game like
it's a game!"
-Tom Dixon
"What I really hate are
people who whine about how GW screws you over, and how the game
sucks. If you don't like the game, go do something else! No one
at GW is holding a gun to your head to buy their product or
follow thier rules..."
-John Hughes
"I hate the gaming
discussion/forums that have members who sound like kids who are
indulging in juvenile posturings on the internet, and they do not
answer posted questions on the forums but jump right in with
remarks that have little or nothing to do with someone's
question."
