losing the Stormcaller and 4 terminators to LRBT suffering blowing up...

I got two good ones... oddly enough both to the same poor eldar Player.

First game I've played against Eldar ever. Im using Tau. I figure hey I can shoot those 5 howling banshees with Farseer dead before they get the charge on my broadise team... after emptying an entire turn of shooting at the 6 Elves running up my flank I manage to kill everything but the exarch and seer. next turn he gets the charge into the broadsides... i grimace expecting unrelenting carnage... dude missed ALL his attacks. At this point my broads swing back reducing the Exarch to 1 wound...then the Shield drone which has no reason to still be alive. killed her. Frisbee of doom 1....Angry screaming she-elf...zero. Never got to kill the seer though, combat dragged on for 3 more turns.

Second time I played the eldar player. I had a Piranha contesting an objective, that he was also contesting with a vyper.... I had no intention of surviving long enough to have that matter as I wis in LOS of 3 D-cannon batteries and I am not making 3 4+ saves...Well He shoots his first template scatters off target, the next one lands on my skimmer, and the 3rd lands on his vyper. one guess which skimmer made its 4+ save and which skimmer died.

lol eldar, for all there knowledge....

in an apoc game my libarian fought several hundred orks to a standstill for two turns. (he passed 60 armour saves) the orks get pwnd by 20 terms and 4 chapter masters.
next turn my allies say'lets kill this deamon prince with our basiliks'
one scatters instants deaths my libarian.

apart from that i once saw mambo kill yarrick with his demo charge...

I have had an Eversor Assassin die in CC to FIRE WARRIORS.

I get the charge. I miss with all but one attack, and then fail to wound.

Fire Warriors strike back with the fury of Genestealers, getting a half dozen wounds.

I killed 2 of them when I exploded...

During the 4th ed tyranid codex three squads of genestealers charged and glanced a chaos land raider to death. In a recent game Typhus Herald of Nurgle from the CSM army was killed by 11 freshly spawned termagaunts shooting and assaulting it. In a different CSM game a chaos lord took his last wound from four gaunts shooting fleshborers. Lastly a chaos lord in terminator armor being killed from full wounds to zero by the only remaining heavy bolter on an immobilized leman russ.

Edit: I meant genestealers in the first line, I always call them genies

Back in late 3E I had a 175 pt Chaos Lord on bike kill himself by driving over a puddle on turn 1.

2nd ed - Entire marine army deployed on the top of a 3 story building with a Land Raider parked outside. Turn 1, the Land Raider explodes, the explosion makes the building collapse, the whole army dies.

Ouch. You win!

My Psyker Battle Squad has failed every test it's been required to take for their powers; meaning they have killed more of themselves than the enemy. The only test they have ever passed was a break test after falling out of an exploding tank... directly into the line of fire of Kroot.

Most hilarious one, going the other way, was back in 2nd Ed when plant missiles were still available. 3 Terminator squads bunched up, sneaking through a forest to get close to my 'stealer cult. 1 plant missile later, they were standing in the open when 40 brood brothers opened fire with lasguns and killed them to a man.

About a year ago, my Chaos Daemons squared off against a Grey Knights army in a small local tournament. His commander, a GK Grandmaster, tried to face off against Ku'Gath (the GUO special character).

The Grandmaster carved his way across the table, wading through a good dozen lesser daemons, but wasn't....quite....able....to make the charge. FatBoy(tm) flashed the finest dental work England has to offer, and lumbered over to finish things.

At this point, I should point out that at the beginning of each of my shooting phases, Ku'Gath automatically hits every enemy model within 6" with a strength 2 hit. Silent? Yes. Deadly? Not usually.

The Grey Knight Grandmaster, veteran of thousands of battles, slayer of countless minions of the Ruinous Powers, bearer of the consecrated Terminator Armor of his chapter.....promptly died to a well-timed warpfart.

My Nightbringer was on its last wound, was picked off by a eldar halequin kiss thing gun (cant remember the name). though the explosion killed them all in the process =3

Playing the Attacker in a team Planetstrike game (Chaos Marines and Daemons vs. Space Marines and IG), my 270 point Lord of Change pops up in the "back" corner of their army and my Keeper of Secrets is not too far off. Turn 1, an 80 point Penal Legion Squad walks on to the board and scores 5 wounds on the Lord of change with their shooting (10 lasguns). Saves: 1, 1, 1, 1, 2. Some allied Grey Knights charge the Keeper later that turn. I miss EVERY attack. He gets chopped down. Worst turn I've ever had in any game, ever.

In that same game, I had a unit of boyz and a unit of grots assault a squad of Terminators. The grots managed to cause 6 wounds to the Terminators. When my buddy took his saves, he rolled 5 1's. That's the story of 33 points of runty gitz killing 200 points of the Emperor's finest!

That hurts to read.

It just seriously hurts.

YAHTZEE

my nightbringer and deciever were both turned into squigs

Last night, yes just last night. Sicarius got tied up in CC with drones. He'd eventually get though one squad just in time for another squad to DS in and hold him up. The worst part is that the surviving members of his command squad were killed in CC by the drones.

Drones....not even kroot...drones.

Very long time ago I had an Eversor assassin charge a Basilisk. He managed to destroy it and was killed in the resulting explosion. Not really sure if that counts as heroic or unheroic

I once punched a building with a squad of terminators w/Pedro Kantor and Chaplain in terminator armor. 2 died from the building exploding.

60(2 units of 30) ork boys surrounded my necron warriors, left 1 alive, miracualously(seriously un freakin believeable. The boyz piled in and at the start of my turn i warped the surviving warrior(including the others who hadn't stood upa nd ahd stood up) to a monolith(it made the leadership test on double ones so was still in CC).I put 7 scarab bases in a semi circle 'behind'(on there side of board not mine) the boyz, and dropped two pie plates from the other two liths in them. Needless to say, they fell back, and got trapped, unable to avoid the scarabs without doubling back. 60 boyz destroyed 9 warriors, then all died.

My Ork Warboss with his mob of 20 ard boyz attacked a venerable dreadnought, the dread had the initiative singled him out and went an hit him with the dreadnought CC weapon. I failed the invulnerable save and he died before he could do anything. Lame!

Explain to me how that likely event is unheroic or even rare if tried?

hmm, most embarassing death.... that would be my carnifex a few years ago. The Bug was squished by a bare bones guard lieutenant, not once, not twice, but three times. We nicknamed the lieutenant, "Lieutenant Dan", and he go a spare carnifex head to embellish his base.

Well, speaking of nightbringer. In Fourth Edition, my 10 SM snipers pick out Nightbringer on first turn. 10 hits, 10 wounds and all the armor saves failed. The resulting explodsion wipes out 25 warriors.

On thrid turn three wraths die from Whirlwind mines. Then on forth turn one scout at max range destroys a Monolith with a krak missile. Almost made them phase out. It was a game of unheroric deaths but epic kills.

Well, my wife was playing WFB against the same guy and his Black Coach got a first turn assault on a group of Brit Knights Errant. The Coach failed to wound then was chased down and destroyed. EPIC FAIL!

My 2nd Company commander charged into a squad of boys with his command squad. 5 boys killed, 2nd Company Commander 80 wounds. Lol. His command squad was wiped out. 30 unsaved wounds. I got my revenge when my Vanguard forces arrived! take that 3 Vanguard Squads all with power weapons! MUHAHAHAHAHAH. But then the mishap

For those WFB guys~
I used to run the Skaven Warlord Pipsqueek the fierce. He had a 3+ armor save, a 4+ ward, and weeping blade. 4 str 5 attacks, which can cause d3 wounds. He had been the savour of gamesday for me killing dragon's, lords, multiple wound models, and I developed a "always take the challenge" fun mode with him. He'd died a couple times, but always in a fun kinda way.

I head to a tournment where I draw 2 vampire players in a row. Facing hordes and hordes of undead units. He and is valiant stormvermin fought their way head on (me in my surprise it worked 2 games in a row) only to fall so short of the win, earning draws in both games. In both games, he had actually killed vampire lords in combat, but the game always resulted in a draw.

The reason: a 50 pts magic item called the brass orb. It scatters like a stone thrower, but if it hits it is a magical small blast where the models underneath take a initiative check or area dead. Vampires and their undead have crap for initiative. This wonderful little item sat in the hands of a Warplock Engineer named "Shifty." If you roll a misfire on the scatter attempt (scatter dice+artillery) the blast is centered over the thrower.

Game1: turn 5 Lord Pipsqueek just finishes off the vampire, and is at full wounds! Shifty see's a unit of grave guard who have killing blow, he throwers, misfire, and he's standing right next to Pipsqueek. I take the look out sir, I roll a 1, failure... i take his initiative check, he's initiative 7, can only fail on a 6, I roll a 6. BANG... DEAD. Comically I pass the lock out sir for the unit champ, and Shifty. Final result: both generals dead, VPs pull a draw. Lots of laughter from me and my opponent.

Game 2: I am smart, I put shifty in his own unit of clan rats. Keeping him on the other side of the board from Pipsqueek. Turn 5. Pipsqueek fighting away in a combat, losing, has a wound, fighting graveguard. Old skaven rules, Shify hurles that brass orb at the grave guard, scatter, bang, right on Pipsqueeks head. DANG!~ look out sir, rolls a 1, initiative checks, rolls a 6. F-ME! BANG, DEAD.

I have ever since sworn off using the Brass Orb. Pipsqueek is no more as you cannot have a 4+ ward save in skaven any long, His nice purty model, is now a stormvermin champion.

was playing mordheim as the chaos warband. Saved up like five or six hundred gold from allot of games, and bought a possessed with a ton of mutatations. First game he played in took a critical wound from a crossbow bolt and was killed outright.

4th edition, game easily wrapped up.

I'm playing Chaos against my friend's Sister's army.

A dominion unit drops down in front of me out of an immolater, and fires four meltas at my Defiler with a mutated hull, a few hit but no serious damage. I shake off a result and lose a CC attack.

Instead of charging the unit on my next turn, I decide to drop a battlecannon on their neat little circle and of course it scatters back 7 inches directly on it's face.

Pen 6 (versus 13 armor), Ordnance 6 and the rest is history.

I think I gave him the game, even though I was about to win.

My friends Farseer got lascannon-shot to the face once. Imagine a great eldar psyker getting hit in the face by a giant laser and sent flying Matrix style
Oh, and my other friends Defiler charged my lone Killa Kan and got beat to death. I have know renamed him Chuck Norris JR.
Cheers!

Similarly in Gorkamorka; in the first game the gang's only trukk has a head on ram in the second or third turn. It was disabled, and post game rolled a "destroyed" result meaning it was literally only scrap. (2D6 teef or something). :(

@ njpc - that's what you get for playing Skaven. I've seen my general's unit poisoned by an inaccurate poison wind globadier and flee the table. Running away seems to be a frequent tactic employed by skaven units. They are pretty good fun even when the Doomwheel runs wild squashing your own units or the Bell bursts the eardrums of all your rats.

Hi all.
Back in RT days my Ork warboss was finished off by his Kustom weapons side effect' Massive recoil'.
DAKKADAKKA , Oooooooooops, SQUISH as he was run over my out of control battle wagon....

Maugen Ra got turned into a Squig!

8 BT assault marines inc chaplain had to land in trees to get the charge on an enemy unit.

I roll 4 ones on their dangerous terrain test, inc 1 one the chaplain and powerfist.

I cursed the fickle dice.

I had a chappy on a bike rush some squishy eldar only to be cut down. How sad is that, killed by cranky space elves!!
