Do you have models which just hate to perform for you? Please share your stories!

I have 2 in my collection like this, my Blood Angels jump pack Librarian and Longstrike.

I'm sure my librarian just plain hates me, he's been in my collection a while so i can't put it down to new model syndrome and he's one of the best painted models i have so its not because he's unpainted, he just hates me. He dies in nearly every game i use him, he regularly peril's, he's been sucked into the warp trying to cast 2 games in a row and he was killed by an Ork Nob in a challenge in his last game just to give a couple of examples.

My Longstrike also hates me, but not as much, he's one shotted defilers, typhus and even killed Imperial knights however some games he just can't be bothered, one of my more recent games he rolled a one to hit 4/6 times with his railgun and one of the times he did hit he rolled a one to wound!

Now i know some people will say "oh it was just bad luck" and maybe it is just some seriously bad luck but hey.

Do any of you have models you like to use regularly that just plain hate you and refuse to perform?

Share your tales.

Any model I field with a 2+ always rolls 1s. So I've stopped ever bringing any, lol.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

Some of my sisters aren't so much cursed as they either roll super well or absolutely awful. I tend to fail my act of faiths far more often than I should, and when an exorcist shoots, it's either a 1 or a 6, and it will do the opposite number next turn! Lol.

Also, anytime my imperial guard vets need to take a morale or pinning check, they basically auto fail lol.

My GK Librarian always rolls Hemorrhage when going for Biomancy. Out of 5 games he rolled Hemorrhage 4 of the times.

Deffkoptas almost never kill or damage anything to the point that I only bring them when I want a distraction (banking on the enemy thinking they are a threat),

Piranhas are also generally worthless when I use them as they seem to always get immobilized or fail their first jink save.

I know my scatter die hates me with a burning passion. I’m not that fond of it either, but mostly I just try to avoid it and get on with my life. But I think the little bugger has poisoned my plasma cannon gunners against me. Last time I took them out, one of the pair of them killed himself rather then shoot first turn, while the other scattered off target. He then killed himself next turn.

The time before that, one of them (BS5 thanks to the sarge’s advice) wildly scattered away from the carnefex he was targeting to kill the plasma gunner in a nearby bike squad. Not his finest hour.

I like the models, but frankly the plasma cannons don’t get out much with showings like that.

I'm on good terms with most of my models, in that the times they have let me down are about equal to the times they have some through for me. If I had to choose, I would say my Striking Scorpions; they rarely manage to accomplish much before dying.

If there are any models in general I dislike, it would be Riptides for my terrible luck at managing to kill them.

I hate to be that guy, but GK Librarians don't have access to Biomancy.

Unless of course you house-ruled it. In that case, carry on!

my scourge have literally done nothing for me, every. and on paper, they are good units, however, with haywire, blasters, heat lances, everything, they either scatter and die, get shot down turn 1, or wiff their rolls and not deal a single hullpoint.

Brother Jose, who wields the plasma cannon in one of my tactical squads. He does nothing game after game, and then, when I'm about to give up on him, he hits a hot streak and kills hundreds of points of models in a single game.

He's a devious one, Brother Jose is.

Is that counting his own points from gets hot deaths and friendly fire? If so, mine actually have a not bad tally.

My chaos chosen/havok unit equipped with 4 plas guns and no marks. When used as chosen they all get hot and die or miss everthing but when used as havoks i cant remember the last time they over heated and kill lots of things. And my tzeech sorc in termi armour who always fails to cast anything and fails to save anything with a 2+ 4++.
Conversly my deamons make 5++ saves all day long (well the majority of them anyway) while killing any thing and everything.
