We had a little Menoth vs. Khador matchup this afternoon. It was a pretty brutal game, as both sides were really playing offensively. There was a lot of attrition on both sides. After losing a couple of 'Jacks on the same turn, I had to get my Choir back out of harm's way and into a position where they could support my remaining two heavies. I issued a run order and one of the smart aleck spectators said quietly to his buddy, "That's what they mean by preachin' to the Choir!" There was just something about the timing of the remark and the deadpan delivery that made everybody in the room completely lose it. Coffee shot out of noses and several pairs of eyes needed to be dried and wiped before the game could continue. It was just a silly little moment, but I'm sure it will become legend in our little group.
How about you guys? Any great funnies in your games, past or present? Any dumb or goofy nicknames for models. One of my Sanctiiers is known as "Lefty" because he had his right arm disabled in two consecutive games! He was also magnetized, and we would pull the right arm off to show it was disabled. We must have gotten a piece of debris on one of the magnets because his arm wasn't quite sitting flush at the next game. I went to move him first turn and knocked it off. Everybody at the table was going, "Lefty's back!" It's all just dumb little stuff, but sometimes the hecklers are as much fun as the game itself! (We have a small group, but they are a lot of fun to play with and they are all great people.)
Let's hear your favorite Mirthful Menoth Moments.

My favourite was when in Mk2, Sevvy 1 fulltanked a Vyros 2 charge with full synergy and some focus. My opponent got shit dice and couldn't chew through ARM 19 Sevvy. Still, was a minor miracle and I still remember it fondly to this day.
My friend was too incredulous to be salty, hahaha!

Beginning of MK3 a Journeyman game vs Ret, the Griffon gets a charge on my Repenter taking out both of its arms. My opponent remarks that the Revenger is now useless, so next turn I have the Repenter headbutt the Griffon to knock it down boosting the damage. Over the next three turns my opponent gets the Griffon up and rolls low to hit and damage the Revenger as the Revenger proceeds to headbutt it to death.

Was playing my local Cryx opponent who had never faced Protectorate. I had an entire unit of TFG with UA under the minifeat get trampled by Deathjack. Not a single scratch. My opponent almost rage quit.

I threw a bunch of cinerators, martyring them, for 2 turns straight at the Kraken. When I had it down to 2 HP, but REALLY needed it dead that turn, I realized one piece was left: a punch monk.
I punched out a colossal. My opponent called the game on the spot, claiming even cryx felt fear.

Maybe I'll paint my second one in One Punch Man colours.  But yeah, Monks are super good. They're not used enough IMHO. |

I got nothing better to do, so I forfeit movement and take 2 swings. I leave him on 1 hp, and the sad thing was Kruger had 0 fury at the time. One more damage and I would have killed him there. |

Sometimes, a choir member performs way out of their league
A game just this past Wednesday
I was playing creator's might and used a Choir members reposition move to move him into the way of Imperatus so he could not charge my Avatar directly without wasting valuable attacks clearing the choir guy. I really needed the Avatar their to lock stuff down with gaze and figured I could piece trade Imperatus if the avatar couldn't survive.
So of course the opponent's plan is to side step of the choir guy to get to the Avatar
except Imperatus misses BOTH his initial attacks and an extremely lucky choir guy is standing there wondering what just happened
I've also had occasions where a 2" melee range free-strike from the choir actually makes a difference

Menoth's 101 Laws
1 Thou shalt not poke the wracks. They'll explode.
2 Thou shalt not poke the Paladins of the Wall. They'll fall over.
3 Thou shalt not poke the Scrutator's mask. You'll become a wrack. See Law 1.
4 Thou shalt not call Allegiants of the Order of the Fist "Saitama". We are currently searching for this heretic who would dare impersonate one of Menoth's holy warriors.
5 Thou shalt not take one of Menoth's holy Vessel of Judgement on a "joyride".
6 Thou shalt not take Lord Reznik's Chariot on a joyride.
7 Thou shalt not attempt to "booty-call" a holy Daughter of the Flame.
8 Thou shalt definitely not attempt to booty-call Thyra, for it well end in a femiNazi rampage the likes of which Immoren cannot contain.
9 Thou shalt not mention the Grymkin in Menoth's prescence, for his divine wrath will OH GOD I'M SORRY PLEASE NOT THE WHIP
10 Thou shalt not reference the previous reader of the law, who has received his penance in Menoth's holy name.
11 Thou shalt not jury-rig a flameguard cleanser's purifier to spray holy promethium. While humorous, if it is activated when the starter flame is lit, the results are...disastrous.
12 Thou shalt not attempt to remove the filters from a Scrutator's mask. They are vital to the old me-I mean the holy I'M SORRY PLEASE FOR
13 Thou shalt refer to law 9 on the proper procedures in the case of law 12 being broken.
14 Thou shalt not rig a scope to a Redeemer. It will only confuse the warjack and lead to even more of a mess.
15 Thou shalt not rig a scope to a Judicator. It will lead to the destruction of the battlefield.
16 Thou shalt not refer to the songs of the Choir of Menoth by their proper names, and not "buffs."
17 Thou shalt not refer to Malekus, the Burning Truth as "a team killing Firetrucktard." This is heresy and will not be tolerated.
18 Thou shalt not listen to the songs of the Grymkin trickster known as the Witchwood. Such an OH GOD I FORGOT PLEASE HELP
19 Thou shalt once again refer to Law 9 if Law 19 is broken.
20 Thou shalt not attempt to hide behind one of Menoth's holy Indictors, or Urcaen forbid the Avatar of Menoth himself. Your job is to protect the paintjob I mean serve Menoth with all your might.
21 Thou shalt not question the attire of High Allegiant Amon Ad-Raza. Yes we know he's half naked. No we don't know how he reinforces his power field.
22 Thou shalt not mock the pointed helmets of the Exemplars. It will end badly for the mocker.
23 Thou shalt not question the name of the Blood of Martyrs. No, it doesn't actually run on blood you imbeciles.
24 Thou shalt not question the logic of Feora, the Conquering Flame's steed. Not even Menoth knows how that happened.
25 Thou shalt not question the armor of the most holy Harbinger of Menoth. It's magic, we don't got to explain shit.
I'll be doing more of these when I have time.

Had a game where my opponents injured Kreoss the 1st with no focus tanked pThags and a scythean. Next turn Kreoss destroys the scythean to dominate the zone and win. Was less than happy.

One rounded a Desert Hydra with a Redline'd, Incite'd, Battle'd Eye of Truth. Had a focus left over, so next turn he Enlivened away (ignoring the free strike). Opponent couldn't kill him, so he killed Xerxis2 next turn through a 3 camp.
Yeh, I quiet like Eye of Truth.
