10. He uses a laser and industrial protractor to measure your firing arcs.

9. His armies always just happen to be 300-500 points over.

8. He thinks there should be a category of weapon above Titan Killers.

7. Epic is just a pastime and his real passion is for 40K.

6. He thinks the discussion forums are a waste of time and posts that message on five hundred different threads.

5. While playing he aims his dice at your mini's.

4. To 'power up' his formations he uses Barbie Fashion cards.

3. Every unit in his army has a distinct special rule.

2. He paints daisies, hearts and Carebears on his Space Marine army because they're too gloomy.

1. He thinks every unit should get a macro-weapon to 'speed the game up'.  

:D  :p  :devil:

What are you talking about?  Theres no such thing as a bad epic player!  Playing epic automatically qualifies someone as a top bloke doesn't it? :)

I tend to do this so I ended up buying a whole batch of ~2mm a side dice (the ones like you get with Pirates constructible game) to reduce the risk of accidentally causing mass casualties when playing against Tau.  I don't think Forgeworld 6mm resin infantry could handle having a dice land on their head.

Actually that reminds me of a WHFB tournament I went in when some kid wanted to use huge frigging metal dice.  "Umm put the big heavy things away dude, I spent years painting this army, you can use my dice".

not when you compare any epic player to a 40k player that is (snigger)

I have this bad habit of rolling (or should I say throwing) dice so that they often end up on the floor. Just ask Dave. He'll confirm it.  :D  Although I guess that's better than throwing them at minis.

Nice list, Mosc.  :cool:

Or just throwing the minis.

But yes, floor re-rolls are a standard in our games  :) .
