I once introduced a "that guy" to another "that guy" and told each of them that the other was newer to the hobby. They ended up in a fist fight.

"The advantage of clean air" lmao

[ttrem]

“Do not give your foe the advantage of clean air” Nurgle approved

[TuShan]

I love that he says all of this completely straight as if it's a legit guide, but you could still feel the annoyance in his voice.

[JoKad]

AT is fielding his top units: the primaris passive aggressors.

[pancakemogul]

"Eat crisps. Do not wash hands. Touch opponents models at every opportunity."

This is how tournaments become open carry events.

[ryanturner]

Always make sure to roll your dice in a place where it is difficult for your opponent to see, breaking line of site cover isn't just for your units, it's for your dice as well.

Friends are temporary
Sportsmanship is temporary
Ruining your self image is eternal

[Gnajs]

"Do not shower for previous 72h" is also a condition in the new DG codex if you want to have a battleforged army. And it adds to the immersion I must say.

[garthmarenghi]

A few other to employ:

-When you get called out for your BS, play it off as a a mistake, and if your opponent makes a mistake, punish them for it by calling them a cheater.

-In a rules dispute, talk right over them. You can't lose if your opponent doesn't have a chance to make their case. *points to head*

-Never, EVER, have a pregame discussion about potential "gotchas" that your army can access. Nobody likes spoilers. Besides it's their fault for not knowing every rule for every faction.

Did you recently play with someone that really pissed you off?

[Sid_Black]

The best people to play against are people that dont care about winning. They just enjoy bulding/painting their miniatures and enjoy showing them on a table.
Same people tend to turn the game into a "story". I.e. saying things like: "With all his might the Captain throws his power-fist into the face of his foe!" as they roll the dice.
Just to follow up with: "But it looks like Bjorn Blondmane had to much to drink during the feast last night and did not hit anything" as the dice show a bunch of 1s and 2s.

Thanks I cant wait to use these tips when I play against my local charity tournament

[CardsAndComputer]

Don't forget: "Complain that you opponent is being rude and unsportsmanly if they show any sign of happiness or satisfaction."

[SleepySoviet]

Didn't expect the April Fool's episode in January

[Veregh]

The problem being that sometimes that guy flocks togheter with others like-minded ..becoming Those Guys .

[Illiadofmalorne]

"Ugh I hate Space Marines"
"But you are playing Salamanders...."
"Yeah but Harlequins are better now"
next week
"Does anyone have a Nightbringer I can buy?"

[michaelfoster]

This physically hurt to watch and recall every match I've played against a That Guy. A superb guide all around then.

[Autechltd]

Remember to show up 4 hours late, especially if your opponent mentioned that they have to be home by supper, thus forcing them to concede by turn 2 no matter what.
It worked for Miyamoto Musashi, it will work for you too.

[noodleduk]

Love how dry and straight forward this is presented
