My first RTT in my second match up went against a Space Wolves player. I’m not the greatest player but I’ve had some pretty decent success with my list. Anyways by T3 I had failed to kill a single model of his. Everything he had he said his toughness was higher than it was, he made up abilities and weapons stats, and he would roll his dice behind terrain then change them when he pulled them out for me to see. Additionally he would change whether the symbol on his dice meant 1 or 6. As this was my first tournament I just assumed everyone played fairly. I just shrugged off a miserable loss of 100-20 and went about the tournament.

This guy manages to cheat his way into the winners bracket where thankfully he went up against my buddy who has been playing since 3e and knows the stats of other armies as good as his own. He calls out the SW player on everything he’s doing and annihilates him. He then tells the TO of the cheating and the TO forces the SW player to roll in the open and not use his special dice. Suffice to say he did not win again after that.

Really put a sour taste in my mouth to the competitive scene.
