You need to aim Big Shootas? I always thought the point was much like the Ogryn Ripper Gun: shoot so damn many bullets that they can't possibly all miss.

 

[Viscount Vash]

Orks aiming :lol: Its true in a kind of "Over der!" Dakka dakka dakka way.

This topic has popped up now in about thee seperate posts now.
The only interest in previous games IMO should be how to improve off the back of them or those funny/odd siuations that often arise.

If you are the sort that feels that W/L/D statistics are important, stick them in your Signature and have done with it.

Not me I'm a warlord!!!! :twisted:

No idea what my total record would be. Been playing for too long, over 10 years now. And I usually play twice a week. About the only ones I keep track of any more are my GT games (US), which I've been a regular at ever since the first US GT in 1997. With my primary army of Imperial Guard, I've never had a GT where I lost more than one game, and I have had several GTs where I went undefeated with them. Yes, that's with IG!!
On the rare occasions that I field something else, I haven't done as well, like my all-Scout Space Marine army a few years back, 2 wins, 3 losses, 1 draw. Didn't expect to do well with it but was hoping to bat .500.

played(total):25
won:17
lost:8
:shock:

 

[Jezlad]

I'd say i've won 90% of my games. All my losses tend to come at the GT.

 

[torealis]

i have yet to play a proper game of the new 40k... i had a little 400pt game with my tau vs some guard, which i lost, and another 400pt game to try out the grey knights vs blood angels, which i won.

so 1/0/1 i suppose...

 

[Fallen Angel]

I'd say i've won 90% of my games. All my losses tend to come at the GT.

And the practice games before that :lol:

I tend to have a pretty high win ratio, though i like to lose some games as it just gets boring winning all the time. You learn more from losing than you do from winnning.....

 

[Elchimpster]

Yeah...those practice games don't count.
:roll:

 

[LongBeard]

With my BA's I'd say I tend to win the majority of my games.
But as Fallen Angel mentioned the losses are far more valuable, winning week In-week out can become pretty boring for yourself and your opponents.

An introduction to Tau by Fallen Angel...

I blame it on the drive :?

Necrons - forgot/most/none
Marines - maybe 20/5/1

I also fail to see the point in a thread like this.

ahh good old spray and pray

 

[Hudge]

You actually learn the same amount or more if you win because if you lose, you learn what doesn't work, if you win you learn what does.

 

[dakari-mane]

Indeed. Being able to talk back over a game & find out where you & your opponent think you went wrong is a really good way of learning from a game.

 

[dakari-mane]

To anyone that wins far more than they lose I'll say this:

Play better opponents. Smacking down kids in your local shop may make your W/D/L ration look good but you are not actually going to learn anything.

:wink:

 

[dakari-mane]

And as a reply to the OP:

I've been playing since I was 9. I'm now 29. Keeping track of the number of games i've W/D/L'ed is tricky.

 

[Prophaniti]

Yeah, I've been playing for years too and I can't be bothered with, or remember the numbers for, an ego-prop like a W/D/L. In my case it's something like: about half/not many/about half.

 

[jigplums]

Most wouldn't believe or probably care about my win/draw/loss record.
But i could give my personal record vs flame on guys so far

2-0 :wink:
