Had a moment, so figured I'd start one of those somewhat goofier threads. Not entirely sure if its been done before (had no clue what search terms to even look for it under) but...

In essense, when you're staring down an opposing force from across the table, what terms of bitter affection do you use to refer to them, either by race, or unit.

Mind, I'm looking more for stuff thats meant to be said with a smile, as opposed to a sneer.

ALA:
The Space Pope: For the tau ethereal special character.
Space Cows: Tau
Toasters: Necrons
Beakies: Marines.
Pimp-Daddy Calgar: Marneus Calgar.

When I see kroot: I call them the BBQ-chicken briggade.
When I see tau: I say they are the fish-n-chips.
When fielded together: Surf-n-turf.

In my lil' gaming group call marines "German girly-boys" followed by all talk degenerating into poor arnie impressions.

Always had the need to call a guard army "The Flashlight Brigade". Just seems fitting :P.

Food... But that's an easy one for Tyranids. =)

Here's a list similar to one I made waaay back:
Space Marines = Crunchy-Tasty-Flesh (-in-Big-Shell, if vehicle)
Imperial Guard = Soft-Tasty-Flesh
Orks = Fungus-Tasty-Flesh
Eldar = Ancient-Tasty-Flesh
DEldar = Spiky-Ancient-Tasty-Flesh
Chaos = Crunchy-Funny-Tasty-Flesh
Necron = Crunchy-Annoying-Metal

Didn't have one for Tau or Kroot, as they weren't around when I first came up with this. Hmm...
Low-Fat-Tasty-Flesh for Kroot
Weak-Tasty-Flesh for Tau

Ultramarines are of course the SMurfs.

Sisters of Battle: something about Iron Clad Bikinis, or Bolter B*****s.

This'll be funny, as everyone seems to know insults for Tau. Could it be because they are sooo good?

Lets see...

Bretonians = French ('nuff said?),
Elves = girly boys (go to war in their mother's best frock.).

Those are the only ones that come to me right now.

Ultramarines are of course the SMurfs.

I've heard a few people refer to SOB's as Chicks with D***S.

Harlequins: Space Clowns.

I've also heard some choice ones about the orks that are by FAR not to be mentioned in a public space.

If I'm playing my CSM I call everyone Sacrafices.
Oh, and then there's "rat-children," you know who I mean.

smelldar? lol thats what my game store manager calls em

We call chaos sloth-goths, inside joke but i'll do my best to explain it, almost positive its one of those "you had to be there stories"

So a couple of my friends were staying the night at our goth friend's house. He plays chaos, no suprise. Apparently my goth friend had been an arse to them all day, culminating in him being a massive rules nazi during a game. Now my other friends weren't going to take this, and in one of those moments of pseudo-clarity you only achieve at three in the morning they took a sharpy and wrote "Why be a goth when you can be a sloth?" all over him. This was truncated to slothgoth and the name kind of stuck.

We made one up last Sunday due to a mispronunciation.

Sissy (CC) dudes for SM assault marines :D

flatface- Tau

Grandpa- Farseer.

I always try to take the mick out of SM, so I usually call them 'The Emporer's Clowns of chumpy-chumpy, small manhood
with an overcompensated gun that still uses bullets in the 41st millenium'.
Super long name for them but, the other names that I call them simply cannot be named here for specific reasons :D, even though their gun may be cool, but the cheesy thing about them is that they all have low, gruff voices and say 'your weak' to everything around himself except his battle brothers.
says it all really :)

Damn I'm ranting. Better stop...

-Kai-Itza-

Dark reapers = Dark rapers

Howling banshees = Howling b****'s

Swooping hawks = Swooping dorks

Striking scorpions = Stinking scorpions

Most eldar units can also be reffered to as "not-yet-cooked" or with a "prescription for prometheum".

Ork 'ard boyz can also be confused with lard boyz or 'tard boyz.

Dont forget Marneus Calgar as "Papa smurf"
and what about Logan Grimnar as Wolfmother?

Dark reapers = Dark rapers


;o

that's getting it below the belt there!


Ork 'ard boyz can also be confused with lard boyz or 'tard boyz.


I spluttered in my tea as soon as I saw that! lol I like the 'tard boyz! :D

He does, and the only cool thing about it is that Hugh Hefner personally delivers his copy of playboy each month. How about that?!

What does Hugh Hefner have to do with gene stealers, and why does a broodlord need playboy!:?

Arnie impressions usually turn up for Necrons around here, cause they'll be back.
