Warhammer 40K Tabletop VII: Common Sense is not RAW.

[Cheesegear]

Marvellous work, Cheesegear. Were I in your position I might not have been as calm as you.

Maybe that's why I get good Sportsmanships and nobody can imagine me being a bad opponent.

Still; when someone goes around bragging and lying like that, they deserve to be ground into the dirt so nice work.

That was really, really brutal. So naturally I whole-heartedly endorse exactly what you did there.

People endorse me curb-stomping someone?
And I always thought that this game was supposed to be fun. But, apparently he deserved it.

Well, it really is pretty stupid to not change your army list, if you suspect an opponent might make a counter-army.

Looks like a case of throwing lots of "good" things into a list and not thinking about how they're going to work together. Which is especially stupid when playing with the one codex that rewards you for playing a balanced list.

I didn't exactly make a counter-army on purpose. Or, rather, I didn't actually think I would curb-stomp him as terribly as I did. If a Rune Priest rolls a '6' for his Living Lightning roll, he'll basically annihilate whatever he's pointed at. But, that rarely happens. 1 in 6 chance, even. By rights, Swarmlord should not have died in the first turn, and his Gaunts should have been Fearless for a turn or two and charged my Grey Hunters.
...That still would have ended badly due to Grey Hunters being so totally awesome, or, even if the Hormagaunts did win, I had Deathwind Launchers as backup, or something.

If Swarmlord hadn't have died on the first turn, both his Reserves would have come in on Turn 2 instead of one-by-one...

The spore is pointless unless you need to kill tanks.

Most armies usually have tanks. He didn't know what I had (in fact he probably thought I was playing the same army as last time, or something), and I didn't know what he had. It was only after deployment and his declaration of Reserves that he had the exact same list as last time...

Maybe people missed this part;
"This was a list I put together for a tournament just after the Tyranid Codex came out."

This particular army list (or, the 1000-point 'core', the full 1500/1750/1850 has Vindicators and Blood Claws-in-Land Raiders) was designed for a tournament, so, it was supposed to be pretty strong against all-comers (although it doesn't look like it, but, Alpha Strikes are a game-changing move). But, it was also designed specifically with Tyranids in mind - being the flavour of the month at the time.

Like I said, I didn't mean to curb-stomp him so terribly. However, to him, it definitely must have looked like I just took him to school.
