I played against a very good player (informed after the game) in a tourny(2k points) few weeks back and we got a draw. We were both chaos and he had something like:
14 daem. w/ herald and siren,10 bloodletters,3 BON,16 plaguebearers w/herald,5 hounds
6 flamers,scribes. 9 horrors/tzeentch herald.
I had:
5 x2 hounds,5 flamers x2, Bloodthirster, scribes,2 tzeentch heralds,10 horrors, 10 x2 bloodletters
It was my first time at a tourny in that area so I didn't know what to expect. After i put my stuff down he was commenting on how i was min/maxing and using the "best of the best" etc. He did something I was totally caught off guard - using the siren banner on my BT to force charging into the daemonettes squad - although he beat me in combat I did save on LD and he started complaining how lucky i was etc. Then throughout the game he was telling people viewing the game how I am using the "best stuff". We played along till I think the last turn (due to time ) and that turn i manuevered my flamer units so that they were on out of the charging range of his BON and I fired about 40 shots at them and wounded ~15 times or so. It came down to a draw and he didn't look to happy - I felt really bad after the game. I asked him if i could make my army less cheesy and he said for a 2000 point game i shouldn't have brought so much magic (7pd + scribes) and also a Greater daemon because that's OTT.
The next game he pissed off a person i played before and that person quit the 3rd turn. He later told me the guy seemed to be in a really foul mood and i told him it was probably because of me. I think he expected my BT to lose the combat to the daemonettes the first turn (he had 2 ranks+banner+outnumber 1st round) and my BT didn't so that pissed him off. Another regular there said that person I played is a very good player so I think he is probably up there with player who wants to win but probably want to win on his/her own terms (not using "cheesy" lists).
