ive got this kid at the game store that plays Orks, and plays Orks BAD... no, i dont mean bad as in he looses a lot, i mean that he has many BAD gaming habits.. im gonna list the ones i saw today, and you can tell me how BAD they are...

my Kroot run up on* BIG mob of boyz (30, 3 rokkit launchas), BARELY make the 12", and double shoot... he takes 4 wounds... and fails armor save... now, only the center of the front row of his mob was in 12" range... happily (for me i thought) that spot was occupied by the Rokkit Launchas.... BUT, this guy takes fatalities off the BACK of the mob, arguing that the Kroot Rifle has a MAX range of 24", leaving his ork Boys Mob a solid line 12" away.. not a single inch farther back after shooting..AARRGGHH!* *>

His Boys are all primered black, and hes proxying the important stuff, like, say, nobs with their power claws... oddly enough, they get lost in the pack, and always seem to be in just the right spot when needed (assaulting my tank in this case).. after i catch him swapping models from back to front of mob... ARRRGGGHHHH* *>

All his* (90+) orks are happily under 3 Kustum Force Fields... BUT late in the game i make his Burna Boy Mob fall back...... (brace yourself for the outrage..)... so first, he tries to 'mob up' with the mob IN FRONT of them (they were of course right behind a 30 Boy Mob)... after my very loud protests, he reads me the Ork Codex: "when Orks fall back they can move towards any Ork mob".. after a strained moment of me calming down, i asked to see the codex.. he 'forgot' to read aloud the last part of that sentence: "...that lies behind their position" grrrRRRRR!! so then he moves them back, but mostly SIDEWAYS to mob up with his Kannon Battery!... i tried to argue that he HAS to fall back within the corridor of his original formation... and that Gretching manning a Kannon cant really be called a Mob... but by this time i was merely trying to keep my fingers UNwrapped around his throat...

other than that, he DID play a straight up game....and whupped me fair (?!) and square (?!).. untill i got home, and booted up my army builder: ORK army i faced, 1500 pt Game=

..anyways, i tried having a good time by joking about my horrible situation, and cracking funny witisisms at my demise.. i even smiled when a SLUGGA immobilized and wrecked my Hammerhead (the SHAME!!!!!!).. but really,deeply, i wanted to put my 6'4", 375lb body to werk... if ya know what i mean.....* *ok, rant over.. i guess some1 just gimme a 'Dat sux..' or something, and ill be over it.* :P

That more than sucks man. The guy is an idiot, who given half a chance probably would find a way to creativly read the rules so that he could choose your targets and roll all the dice. So in the end he will play only with himself

[AuinMyrrath]

That guy is a moron... he would fit in perfectly with most of the GW staff, I must say. If he was in my playgroup, the huge asian guy would have picked him up and (litteraly, this has happened before) hurled him out the back door).

[arguleon-veq]

'that spot was occupied by the Rokkit Launchas'

It doesn't mean he has to take the Launchas off, it just represents other models picking them up. He would only have to take a save on the Launcha models if you had caused 30 wounds.

'His Boys are all primered black'

Can't see a problem with that, some people don't like painting.

But the rest is fair enough, I always run through what my opponent has in his army in my head to see if they are over points. Then again it helps to know the majority of the points values for all the armies.

'i wanted to put my 6'4", 375lb body to werk... if ya know what i mean..... '

Should have, or at least threatened it.

First Ork Bearding I have ever heard of. Bring 'im to uz, we'll krump 'im ghud an propa.

[Calaban]

ok.. :P i gotta ask... 'Bearding'??? thats like 3 times ive heard you say it, and im stumped....

donr get me wrong, i LIKe your orky dialect... i just wanna GET it...

[Kangaroo Joe]

Beard is the Brit term, with a similar meaning to "cheese". Although Cheese refers soley to the army list, while Bearding is mainly used to refer to an unpleasant style of play.

[Calaban]

ooooh... ok. ;D

and here i thought it was some fluff based lingo i havent heard yet..... like calling someone a Bearded Ork would get your head torn off or something... :
