Here are a few from Tom Beliech's proposed "supplement to end all supplements" entitled "Dark Gitz Whose Guns Are Too Big": "Daemonic Art Critic" - A Bloodthirster, who is also a paid GW miniatures judge, will appear next to and attack the worst painted miniature on the battlefield - better make sure it's not yours when you use this card. "Look, it's Elvis!" - This card may be played on an enemy squad or model. The targets must make a leadership check. If they fail, they have to turn around 180 degrees and look behind them. "Chinese Fire Drill" - Played on a transport vehicle. Any troops inside the vehicle must immediately exit, stare blankly at each other, and go back inside, thus preventing both the troops and the vehicle from doing anything useful for the turn. "Gone Broke!" - Played on any one enemy squad or character. This enemy is assumed to have been purchasing his weapons from Guns Workshop ("GW") and thus loses his/their most powerful weapon(s) because the prices were too high to afford the good stuff. ...and here's a few from my own proposed supplement to his supplement, "Angels of Sarcasm": "Daemonic Rules Lawyer" - You may play this card at the first sign of a rules dispute. Rick Priestley appears in a puff of smoke and re-writes the rules in your favour. "Gimme That, Punk!" - Play this card on any model who has been issued a "Unique" wargear card without prior consent from the opponent (which would be you). The original owner of the card shows up and will engage the owner of said item in close combat if it is not returned immediately. "Isn't It Ironic?" - You may play this card whenever an enemy fires a weapon that uses the artillery, sustained fire, and/or scatter dice. Treat as if all of the dice had come up as jams and/or hit-misfire results. No Alanis, this isn't irony either - just bad luck! "Er... Jones Is Fine, Jim" - Play this card at the start of the game to cancel one effect from the Tyranid event table. Pete
