Devastating Dark Reaper





Chalk up another Vindicare assassin. Haven't used him in quite a while (he was the one standing on a skull, aiming down his rifle). Could not hit a damn thing. He's now been swapped for the new model from execution force, who seems to be doing alright in the game. I haven't used him in a 40k game yet...little bit afraid to!

The dark behind the eyes.

Dark Eldar:

- My Haemonculus with 4+ poison never rolls above 3.

- Grotesques. I hear all these stories about people's Grotesques murdering half the enemy army, or shrugging off incredible amounts of firepower. All I can think is 'are we using the same models'?

When they're not dissolving to anything that so much as looks at them funny, then they're bouncing off even the flimsiest of enemy armour.

- Scourges. Despite BS4, their hit rate is about 50%. And, even though they glance on 2s, their glance rate is about 50% too.

My 40k stuff doesn't dislike me. I have some other stuff that probably does. I have several squads of Warzone minis and an entire army of BA Japanese who likely think I am a long shaft because I haven't even taken them out of their boxes to put them together or even look at them in the 6 months to a year I have had them. I fear what the Japanese SNLF is going to do the first time I put them on the table after being told they were low priority under Tau and the German SS.

Perfect Shot Dark Angels Predator Pilot




Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

My predators only hate me when I put their LCs on. If I run them AC/HB they almost always perform great. Put on triple LC, and the just miss and fail pen and wound rolls like no one's business. They have wrecked more vehicles with their AC then LC despite being fielded about the same amount either way

I remember firing 6 LC from my pair of preds at a razor back and only hitting twice then snake eyes for pen (vs amour 11). My PC devs just face palmed and were like "we got this I guess" and took it out.

Unrelenting Rubric Terminator of Tzeentch





My BS5 Warpsmith has about a 50% hit rate with his meltagun, and recently charged 5 ork slugga boys and died before he got to swing! The amount of times he's dropped to the first 2-3 wounds that come his way is also beyond statistical probability.

My heldrake often refuses to make an appearance until turn 4, though when he eventually turns up, it's usually worth the wait. Usually.

My demon prince seems to hate the idea of being painted, if that counts.

"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

It's kind of a mix for me..

my GK Librarian usually doesn't take a Stormbolter so he usually throws grenades and I love the idea of throwing Psych-Out grenades but whenever I do my opponent almost ALWAYS ROLLS A 6 for the perils. This happened to me when I was facing down a T10 STR 9 Greater Unclean One with Endurance and the initiative boost. I shot my psy-cannon and failed to wound and I threw the grenade hoping for something helpful. No. Just gave the Demon who was in cursed earth range a 2+ invulnerable.

Same thing happened when my Librarian threw a psykout grenade at one of the Harlequin psykers.

and a SM Conclave Librarian on a Bike.


and when he's not doing that he's perilling and forgetting how to cast invisibility on turn 1. :|

Pretty much every time my TWC rolls for Consolidation after winning a CC, it comes up 1" or 2". That's about the worst it gets for me, but it's incredibly consistent.

Wolf Priests' Preferred Enemy or Rune Priests with Prescience can make a huge difference.

That said, I don't remember where I got the attached image, but it's always appropriate.

Also, great choice in avatar.

Derp, I completely forgot wolf priests confer preferred enemy to their unit, I'll try one out, maybe then my plasma guys can kill something

Funny thing is though, my crimson fists never overheat their guns, I think in my past dozen games I've lost one to overheat.

Bear in mind a ML1 RP is 60 points, and giving him Divination means your Primaris is Prescience, re-rolling ALL failed to-hits, not just 1s against the declared Preferred Enemy type of a 110 point Wolf Priest (though, obviously, there are other bonuses to Wolf Priests...).

My deathleaper has never forgiven me for lovingly converting and painting him up.
If he ever charges into combat he gets monstered.
He charged a 5 man tac squad, ignored the overwatch and challenged the sgt. He then proceeded to miss 5/6 attacks and the one that wounded bounced off the marines armour, who then laughed in his tentacled face and beat him up with his axe.
Luckily he was able to limp away with hit and run.

In fantasy my disc sorcerer hates me too. On two seperate occasions he has had to pass a 3+ reroll ones ward save after being hit by an Orc stone thrower and feels like it'd be a good time to roll a 2.

The Ion Shields on both of my Knights hate me with a passion. The models themselves perform pretty consistently, I just can't make any saves ever.

One Razorback I have also hates me so much. In all the games I've played with it, I've hit a target only twice ever (even with twin-linked) and caused total of 1 hull point of damage with it. I don't play with that model very much any more.
