I usually try to avoid the terrible 'hamtrums but I have seen a few from other games. Flames of War is a great game, great system, great setting but holy cow it attracts terrible grognards (old dudes who gotta have their way).
One time this oldfat guy with a soul patch who came in all the time and took things REALLY SERIOUSLY (actually, more than one time, but this time was the worst) and he had a rule wrong, and it was obvious to everyone else, but he couldn't get it. He had his finger in the TO's face yelling with such a red face. He was screaming obscenities. I was really embarrassed for the TO.
When he'd make a roll he'd yell YES and pump his fist in the air. Totally awful.
Broodlord + 10 genestealers fights Straken and some squad of guard vets. In their shooting phase they take down about half the 'stealers, and then charge. Straken, being a massive jerk, manages to lead his squad into killing off the rest of the genestealers in the first round of melee combat, but they suffer one more loss than we do.
With just the broodlord left he rolls for the morale test and fails. Then we roll for the running, and my lone broodlord sweeping advances Straken and the rest of his squad.
That lone broodlord then went on to wipe out three heavy weapons teams and rend his way through the rear armour of two tanks, over the course of the rest of the game.
I once played a guy who had porn inside the front hatches of his land raiders, so when he opened them to disembark units, you had to see disgusting images of things I don't even want to talk about. Same guy who would play his turn, then say, "Come get me when I need to roll saves," then walk outside to drink an entire beer and smoke a cigarette.
The following people are amazing and I love them: Wildcat, Timspork, Kias, Denada, susan, Sharp101, [GHSC]Ryctor, Matev, Matrias, ItBurns, Slapnuts, Dayspring, see317, and the unknown poster that sent me a box of Death Company! If you get them as Santees you should buy them amazing things!

Sounds pretty bro to me.
There's a certain infamous 40k persona who likes to get wasted at our tournaments who hooked me up with some painkillers when I fucked up my neck. That was pretty much the most chill tournament game I've ever played.
Everyday I wake up is the worst day of my life.

Sadly, I've been on the internet so much, I've probably seen those disgusting things. It's like seeing a car wreck and just having to look at it. Now, if his land raiders were in a Slaanesh army... then he was just being fluffy.
We were playing WM last week and the token stoner and his buddy went somewhere and toked up and came back
Dude walked up to us with a picture on his phone of a goat's butt where the fur was shaped like Jesus... he had the craziest look in his eyes... DOESN'T THIS GOATS BUTT LOOK LIKE JESUS

It was just a little too much for me
Man that sounds awesome.
Back under the old owner, after normal store hours we'd lock up, kill lights in the front, bust out the beer and play big team games until the wee hours of the night.
I'd love to do that, but there are a lot of creepos I wouldn't want to see drunk. Obviously you can try to steer them out but if they find out about it...
This hobby just attracts the un-educated, awkward, etc. But a lot of hobbies do I guess

I'd imagine that most hobbies eventually attract these people to some extent. It's just that very few hobbies encourage these same people to gather in small, poorly ventilated spaces and then force them to interact with each other.

You should tell your friend that Straken and his squad are fearless.

One of my friends, as a joke, started a rumour at the GW I go to that I somehow roll 5s and 6s an uncanny amount. Usually people would just laugh and ignore that sort of thing, but then I played a game against one of the GW employees with a 1500 point 'nid army. When I obliterated his entire Assault Termies squad with four boneswond shrikes, and didn't lose a single wound, that somehow proved to everyone that I have some kind of mystical mojo.
Now there's about a couple dozen guys there who just flat out refuse to play me because they think I cheat and rig the dice or something. One time I even tried rolling a random fistfull of dice to show that it was just a lucky break. I rolled only three numbers that weren't a 6.
I just don't know how that even happens.
Speaking of crazy rolls. A friend of mine. A math teacher who's since moved to NYC. I used to drive him absolutely NUTS with my rolling back in my Warmachine days. He swore I rolled 8's and 9's on average with 2d6. Apparently the law of averages did not apply to me.

That explains why I'm always rolling 1's and 2's. The universe is trying to balance itself out.

Dudes. I seriously ran a full on Catachan foot army back in the day with Straken.
Demo charges are the coolest.
Gonna be in Seattle from tonight till Monday, anyone who lives in the area should PM me if they want to hang out...I don't have any models with me, but I do have a mouth that likes to drink beer and talk gaming with PA people.

Guy who played at our club before it closed down is playing against some guy.... I dont even remember the majority of the details, but his opponent fails a roll and this guy goes, "HAH! YOU SUCK!". Someonenearby goes, "Man, thats screwed up...." and he responds with, "What?! It's not my fault he sucks!"
The following people are amazing and I love them: Wildcat, Timspork, Kias, Denada, susan, Sharp101, [GHSC]Ryctor, Matev, Matrias, ItBurns, Slapnuts, Dayspring, see317, and the unknown poster that sent me a box of Death Company! If you get them as Santees you should buy them amazing things!

You're a cheater, plain and simple.
Fucking cheater.
I bless dice just by touching them, so that in the hands of the worthy they eternally roll 6s.
Yeah I was gonna say, you rolled plenty of ones when I hit you with 3 multilaser shots. That made up for losing a blob squad of Guardsmen.
Man I fucked that up, didn't I ?
Sounds pretty bro to me.

I don't know.
Sounds pretty suspicious to me...
9 Vendettas with 9 special weapons teams with max demo charges each.
FOR THE EMPRAAAHHHH.
Conversion chart is up, see what exactly the new colours are compared to old. Warns right at the top that it might not match exactly.
Kinda glad I stocked up on what I needed most.
Edit: it's a PDF, FYI
I like hamtrums and grognards. Very evocative.
