In 3rd [?] edition, I had 10 Guardsmen without upgrades kill a charging Blood Thirster in a single round of combat.

In 6th [?] edition, I had a squad of 5 Assault Terminators charge 2 Scouts on the top of a tower. Thanks to pile in moves, the Terminators had to jump off the side of the tower when they were beaten in CC. The 3 that were left all died from the drop.

Played my CSM against my older brother's SM. 1000 points, he has Marius (Sicarius) in a Land Raider together with a Tactical Squad. I shoot the Land Raider with my Vindicator which blows it up. Then my Defiler shoots at the nicely packed ex-inhabitants of the Land Raider, hits them all, wounds them all, Marius decides to risk taking a 2+ save against it (it's not like he could do otherwise, the other guys were all dead because the battle cannon oddly does not permit PA saves) and dies, and so does the rest of his squad.

He conceded as his remaining forces couldn't match the rest of my army.

Had a Flyrant blow its own head off from perils, taking out 6 Gargoyles (Skytyrant Swarm), and the rest of the swarm booked it.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Had the Despoiler himself charge into a platoon of guardsmen, his retinue died to a hail of lasgun overwatch and as he chewed through part of the squad all the guardsmen in that part of the trench line dogpiled him and proceeded to beat him to death with lasgun clubs.

Space marine captain took four Leman Russ cannons and quite a bit of heavy bolted fire to finally get rid of.

Also, 10 boys failing to wound a single SoB Sister Repentia, while the sisters almost slaughtered them all in one turn.

Almost entire Space Marine army was destroyed by the Orks' SHOOTING PHASE due to Space Marines forgetting to shoot that turn.

I had Magnus the red (using the rules for Lorgar) in combat with a wolf Lord. Wolf lords wins the first round of combat.
Next round Magnus perils and vanishes, along with half his terminators.
Not sure what I was expecting, given his track record with Russ.

My sniper scouts got obliterated by my brother's stompa gun. That cannon hit them dead on. Figured that being in cover, with camo cloaks, and Raven guard shrouded which I think gives +1 to cover so I was looking at a 2+ cover save (at work so no book and memory hazy) and I roll a 1. Poor scouts never had a chance.

In the Trenchs

I once had a unit of cultists, they were shot to bits as they ran at the enemy, only the stubber carrier and champion remained. Stubber man took aim and fired on a nearby librarian, SNAPSHOTING HIM TO DEATH. My opponent retaliated with his nearby tactical squad; killing stubber man. I charge in my champ not expecting him to kill anything, I challenge his tactical sergeant, he excepts. SOMEHOW I win, Mutate into daemon prince and slaughter his entire squad.

ALSO: Back in 5th a friends demolisher was shot to bits, had no weapons left, was immobilized and was stunned. Survived to contest an objective and win him the game. I believe he named it "Invincebalus"; it then proceeded to die by turn 2 every game and still does.

Didn't happen to be but the funniest I've ever witnessed had to be when a squad of 10 Chaos Terminators attacked a small group of about 3-4 Gretchins. They attacked, lost combat, failed leadership, ran away, and got swept. By Grots!

Both parties then agreed that the Grots didn't actually kill the remaining Terminators. Instead, Khorne murdered them for their incompetence.

Ooh here's one I forgot about, although it's not my guys dying.

Unit of one base of Rippers is charged by my friend's Riptide as he needs an objective.

Ripper make a 6+ armour save against Hammer of Wrath. Riptide strikes, rolls two hits out of four. Needs 2's to IK the Ripper. Rolls snake eyes.

Ripper rolls to hit. Manages to get a single six to wound. Riptide fails the 2+ armour save. Rolls a 9 for Leadership check (one less and would have passed) and is subsequently swept in combat.

Final round of a GT at the top table, my opponent has a set of deep striking warp spiders that fail reserves until turn 4, scatter and mishap back in reserve for t5, and then scatter and mishap into t6, except there was no turn 6! Technically destroyed so it counts!

My buddy was running a baronial court of Knights alongside a small BA detachment. Kharne charged and killed two of them, and survived the explosions as well as everything else sent his way...until a few BA scouts headshotted him with bolt pistols.

he did grant me slay the warlord and killed my opponent flanking bikes so i won though. i took the model and used it as the base for a converted lord commisar.
that commisar has never ever ever had his plasma pistol get hot
