Have you ever caught someone cheating in 40k?

[Top5King]

I’ve encountered a few cheats in 40k, some on them intentional, some of them not.

 

1: Dice Cheater - had a guy in my gaming group change some of his dice to have 6’s on multiple sides. He got kicked out and never came back.  
 

2: Army List Cheater - had a guy at a tournament refuse to give me an army list because ‘he only had one copy and he gave it to the TO’. He then proceeded to stack a ton of extra models on his sideboard that he didn’t have in his army list to fake me out.  

 

3: The Protractor - hated having to bring a protractor to measure the angle of scatter die, glad this is gone.  

 

4: Rules Lawyers/Staller - had someone purposefully make ridiculous rules claims then ask for a judge to stall the game. They would win turn 4/5 but lose turn 6/7 so they stalled.  

 

5: Modelling for Advantage - when all your models are prone or kneeling you know something is wrong.  

 

Have you ever encountered any cheaters??

Are you talking about my crazy ex?

 

I actually did catch a cheat. 4th edition Throne of Skulls, first game and he uses a bunch of different coloured and sized dice to distract me, then pulls out from his pocket a special load die that rolls 6s all the time.

 

The thing is, they roll funny and you can tell. So when I called him on it he hid it away.

 

I was young and naive back then but if someone pulled that on me now, I'd get them thrown from the tournament.

 

Funny thing is, he had his picture taken as a Warhammer World staffer on the jobs website for years. Don't remember his name.
