what is the funniest thing that has happened to you while doing anything related to 40k?

for me, demolition charge landing on the veteran guardsman that threw it.

Eight inch plasma cannon scatter...right onto the Chapter Master.

Regular Guardsman assaulting CHAOS termies and winning the assault, then running them down and sweeping them. My friend was less than pleased.

^ LOL Nice one!

When the dark angels codex was released, my flgs held a game where termies and guard were divvied up between players. I was guard.

Guard were recyclable, so I threw the same guardsman at the same termie for 4 turns before killing it in HtH.

Was so proud.

S_P

10 BA Terminators vs 30 Grots....at the end of the Grot shooting (all in range) 1 BA Terminator standing.... funnest thing I ever saw in 40K.

in 4th ed i had a Predator tank next to a SM captain.

Captain fires his plasma pistol, Gets Hot, i rolled a 1 for his artificer armour.

my opponents shoting phase, he Railguns my Predator, he pens and rolls a 6, Predator goes nuclear and my captain fails another armour save.

Apoc game, my dread melta's his rhino and blows it up with an 8 inch blast. Not far, but wiped out all my hormagaunts, boyz, 1 nob, 4 of his marines, nearly all of my termagants, and took a wound from a warrior.

how can a rhino blow up 8" when its a D6" explosion?

8" diameter

Having a stompa hurl my land raider into a squad of noise marines, killing them and then it bounces off and crashed into a defiler, wrecking it.

Perfect way to feth me over.

A basilisk round scattered off the intended infantry unit and directly hit a transport. rolled a few 6s and the blast wiped out half of the unit I initially wanted to hit when it exploded along with taking the enemy commander model down a wound. Plus most of the unit in the transport got incinerated.

Best scattered shot ever!

Oh and my friends tyrant was on its last wound. Charged a unit of guardsmen. one guarsmen was left to hit back. I rolled a few 6s and the tyrant died to his bayonet. I lost but took the tyrant with me to make it a close draw .

And lastly when i first played 40k I played dark eldar. Took down an enemy dreadnought with my archon but the thing blew up in his face and killed him and what was left of his incubi.

Game of orks against nids the other day.

I took the big mek with the Shokk Attack gun cause i just love that freaking weapon. first round of the game, i take first turn. I shoot him at a carnafix. The gun got double 5s, which means my big mek is now standing in front of the Carnafix. I caused a wound, but then he killed me.

APOC Game and I had my Ork Stompa open up with it's Suppa Gattla. I bounced back and forth on three Fire Prisms. Destroyed one, wrecked another, and immobilized with main weapon detroyed on the other. The destroyed one exploded on a squad of Scorpions behind it killing 1/3. Both of us were laughing as i went back and forth at least three times on each vehicle before rolling my doubles....then I shot the def kannon and missed.

A shooty dread with no weapons left that had been immobilised, fighting in combat with a Daemon Prince for 4 turns before head butting it to death.

In 3rd ed with ordance pen 6 result - hit a land raider full of termies and a rhino full of marines - rolled 6 on both, both vehicles and squads gone with one blast from a demolisher cannon.

In a game a few years ago, I played Chaos and my mate used his beloved Cadians.'
I charged his Colonel and Command Squad (No upgrades, just 4 veterans) with Typhus.
Typhus then missed with all his attacks. 3 rounds in a row. The Colonel kills him with his Chainsword.

Next turn, I charge the same Command Squad with the remnants of a Chaos Marine squad,
consisting of 2 Marines with bolters. They hit with all their attacks, wound with all, and chase
the lone Colonel off the table. I promoted them to Chosen and gave them Power Weapons after that

My Dread and my friend's melee 'fex went through 6 assault phases beating the crap out of each other in a bunker made out of a card board cup tray from Tim Hortons. There is a picture somewhere.

Back when I played daemon-hunters in 4th,

turn 2: I had an inquisitor lord with a daemonhammer and retinue in assault with a broodlord and his genestealers. At the same time my GK dreadnought was duking it out with a combat fex.
turn 3: the genestealers "kill" my inquisitor with retinue, my dreadnough also dies the talons of a carnifex. I lay my inquisitor down and wait for my bionics roll.
turn 4: on my turn I roll a 6 the inquisitor gets up and assaults the carnifex killing it with a cavalcade of 6's. Needless to say I gave him some appropriate battle damage after the game, and he had bionics written in pen for permanent on my army list

I'm assuming your friend plays Chaos, since you can't sweep loyalist termies due to ATSKNF/Fearless.

As for me, so many to choose from. There was the Bassie first shot of the game taking out the Land Raider with SM uber-Command in it, Ordnance 6 result back then killed everything (first round of a GT). Or the two regular IG, the only ones left in their squad, assaulting the DE Archon with Incubi retinue (no charge reaction back then), winning the combat and running them down in the sweeping advance. Or the lone IG sgt standing and fighting a horde of hormogaunts from turn 2 through the end of turn 6, killing all but 2 of them.

Valkyrie killed around 500 pts of dark eldar in 1 turn. (warriors on raiders+MRP's = Big boom)

Grey Templar wrote:how can a rhino blow up 8" when its a D6" explosion?

Diameter, forgot about that.

First shot of the game, my friends Falcon Grav tank shoots my Deff Dread, which has 3 DCCW's and a Skorcha. Not only was it a penetrating hit, he also immobilized it. So my Deff Dread was essentially scenery for the rest of the game as I didn't have Grot Riggers or any Meks in the army.

My brother deep striked a monolith close to two squads of space marines and bails out 12 necron warriors.
Next turn four marines died and two necrons.

My brother then fires the particle whip to cover all the marines, whilst his necrons are just on the other side of a barricade.
The shot needs a scatter roll of 12 to hit all the necrons otherwise my guys are stuffed...

I warned my brother there was a chance, and then the shot scattered missing the marines completely and killing the necrons outright!! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time

4th Ed rules here

Friend shot his Vindy at a squad. Shot missed completely and landed on his own Landraider. Inside was Mephistion and a squad of termies. Rolled Pen and rolled 6 on the chart. Good bye Landraider, Termies and Mephiston on turn 2. He lost about 750 points from his own shooting.

The best I did wa 3rd Ed. Top of turn 1. My scouts had nothing to shoot at, so the Missle launcher fires at the only Monolith on the board. Rolled a 6 to hit, 6 To glance, and a 6 to Destroy. The other guy had 2 full squads held back to come through the portal. One Rocket almost made him phase out.

Emporer Penguin wrote:for me, demolition charge landing on the veteran guardsman that threw it.

i forgot to mention that the blast killed 9 of the 11 models that i lost during that game(all of which were infantry models).

My bro had 16 kroot holed up in the bottom floor of a building, so i charged my last 2 hormagaunts into them, kroot were in cover and so struck first, however i suffered 5 wounds get got 6's on 4 of them (one hormie died)

My hormagaunt lashed back killed 3 Kroot, they failed their Ld test and my lone hormagaunt ran down 13 kroot on his own!!!! Seemed like they were trying to get out of the door at the same time xD!!!!

using my friend's nurgle lash army to show him how to play it right..... every plasma overheated or scattered onto my own guys....

I raged so hard that day

Hey, running down loyal Termies is impossible. They get fearless when they failed the morale check, and then they stay in cc.
But nice try.

Chaos player shooting a battle cannon at my dreadnought, scatering onto a CC next to it that was 9 berzerkers about to take the last wound off my SM commander with articicer armor, the battle cannon shot killed all the berzerkers and ddi nothing to my comander, his cannon saved my life

I'm looking forward to the event of making some SoB slaves with my DE force.

8 genestealers charged into my fire warrior squad. The Fire Warriors killed all of them, losing only 2 of their own.

My Landraider Tankshocks 2 Khorn Bezerkers.

Zerker DOGs with a Melta bomb.

Melta bombs Pens.

LR explodes.

2 Zerkers fail their armour saves.

My brother firing a demolisher cannon on my carnifex and scattering it on his chimera,
destroying it=explodes 6 " and killing 3 SM scouts of his ally

Yeah I meant to say they were chaos

5 guardsmen holding off 10 bezerkers and 5 chaos termies for 2 turns allowing me to move everything else far enough away to safely mince the chaos scum with lascannons without the risk of another assault!

oh that's happened to me, the look on the nid player's face priceless
For me probably when I lost all my plasma gunner's/ pistoler's in one turn

Doom of Malan'tai shooting at the rear armour of a Leman Russ punisher. At full strength. the template scatters back, blows the turret off the punisher, and kills the doom.

More recently, rolled a single d6, which knocks the head off my Warboss. The d6 flies up and hits me in the eye.

After crawling around on the floor with my hand over my eye looking for the die, I find it, discovering that my warboss failed his inv. save, losing his last wound.

Was actually hilarious. Laughed for a good fifteen minutes because of the wierd chain-reaction.

S_P

i had an opponents Doom cast whatever the power is that does D3 wounds to the doom.

the doom had 3 wounds left.

naturally he rolled a 3 for the power.

Had a 10 man guard squad get decimated down to the sarge who promptly ran to an inch from the table edge. Used my CCS to rally him and then charged him back at the orks who had just ripped his squad apart. Apparently he was pretty pissed because he was able to break the orks he charged. I'll admit they were already close to breaking but it brought a tear to my eye, I was so proud. He's now in charge of my Vet squad .

Four devs with missile launchers (and red thirst) charged Gazzy and killed him in CC. I danced in joy. Still lost the game though...

My friend and I playing against a third player... my friend's Chaos Dreadnought fires a plasma cannon at some scouts hiding in rocks which then scatters onto the Dreadnought and booms it... I then try to charge them with bikes which all fail their terrain tests...

Karrening trukk running into 2 squads of guardsmen killing about half in each squad

My Venerable dreadnought surviving a repeated beating by both a Daemon Prince and a Bloodthirster. Six rounds of combat before it died.

Every damage roll was a 3+ and I forced my opponent to re-roll them. All but one re-roll for the entire six rounds was a 1 or 2.

played an anialation game got wiped out except for one farseer. the farseer used eldritch storm to kill two leman russes an ogran squad and a valkrey until there was only a vendeta and basilisk left(which i was directly infront of so he couldnt shoot me). i almost made it but one lascannon shot from the vendeta. AWSOME LAST STAND

10 man Sternguard with Cassius (all the old TWV models) fired at an approaching unit of stealer, 20 ap4 shots plus cassius's flamer did one wound (from the flamer) which was saved, at which point I gave up hope of them surviving but in the following combat the stealers fluffed nearly all their to hit rolls and cass soaked up the one rending hit and the return attacks claimed all but one genestealer, the nid player was on the edge of a nervous breakdown

Just played a game where I was running a Speed Freak list against SM. I had two Battle wagons rolling up and one had a deffrolla that my opponent didn't like. He was worried about his Landraider getting rolled so he drop podded a sterngaurd vet squad led by a chaplain right behind both BWs. They popped out fo the pod and opened up on the BW with the rolla. Two meltas popped it and the 20 'Ard boys bailed out. On my turn, the 9 Burnas and big mek with Burna flame out from the other open topped BW. The template covered 6 vets giving me 60 hits.

I rolled pretty well getting a little over half. The vets did not have invuln saves and were toasted instantly. That left the remaining 23 hits for the Chaplain. My opponents just laughed as his first roll gave up four 1's.

Crispy Marines anyone?

A land raider full of tooled up Grey Knight Termies is speeding toward my Tau gunline. I smash the land raider right in front of my line with a rail gun. Concentrating fire, I kill all of them down to a man. The brother captain drops a 6 on his bionics, got up and proceeded to punish my entire army in hand to hand, one unit at a time.


In another game vs. DE, my tau were in hand to hand w/ the hero character when he had a drug OD and died. Fire warriors then smacked up, and ran down a unit of witches.

Getting shot at by 2 full squads of tau battlesuits with rapid firing plasma rifles. Bumped up to BS5 each with markerlights. Only one shot hit, and my opponent rolled a 1 to wound me.

Such a smug look crossed my face after that.

apoc game, 2 bassies, both scatter onto friendly allied marines, virtually wiping them out

My chaos marines where shot at by 4 lasscanons , 15 bolters , 6 storm bolters , 2 missiles , 2 hunter killers . All missded or failleded to wound , plus the amazing saves .

10 Gretchin vs 5 Terminaters!

... the Gretchin won!

I had a friend who's termies fell to grot shooting....

It's hard to feel like a man after that, unless you're the grot and feeling like a man for the first time.

my squad of 10 gaurd vets with 2 grenade launchers and 1 flamer deep striking behind some dark eldar took out their transport with grenade launcher next turn taking out the archon and incubi in 1 turn of shooting

Towards the end of a game, I split my Emperor's Champion off from his squad to go after 5 kroot while the squad remained on an objective. I think it was turn 6. I was trying to keep them from getting to close to the objective and figured a full-up Emperor's Champion would be enough. He's got a 2+ armor save, after all. Even if I just tie them up, they can't contest my objective. I get the charge, swing 4 times and fail to hit or wound all four times.

The kroot inflict 2 wounds. I rolled snake eyes for my two saves. They consolidate close enough to contest my objective. Game ends at the end of turn 6. I went from up one objective to a draw. Suck.


EDIT: This is also where my friend's 'Kroot Win! Kroot Win!" chant and dance comes from. It's often used when a low-odds event occurrs.

I was playing a doubles match with my friend ben, and after every thing he did, I'd say "yeeah, ben." then we'd proceed to high-five. Totally threw off our opponents.

"I roll for 10 attacks with my dire avengers"
"yeeah, ben. *high-fives*"
"Scored 2 hits"
"Yeeah, ben. *high-fives*"
"Scored no wounds"
" Yeeah,ben. *High-fives*"

This just happened the other day!

2500 points of silly marines (devastators and scouts) against 2500 point ork horde.

First turn, I start firing into the nearest 30 strong boy squad, which is led by Ghazzgull. Each time I fire I'm doing about five wounds to the boy squad, so to get cocky, the Ork player throws a wound on Ghazz with a 2+ armor save each time. He fails his first three saves with Ghazz from random bolter fire by being cocky.

So at this point, he says "well, I'm obviously not putting any more wounds on Ghazz. Freaking ridiculous."

And then Telion fires a single rending shot. And Ghazzgull dies in the first turn of the freaking game. Still surrounded by 24 ork boyz.

five chaos terminators vs 1 devilfish, 2 firewarrior squads, 1 pathfinder squad with a rail rifle. terminator losses: 0 Tau losses: almost 100%
all the tau did during the games was die(also after a firewarriorsquad failed its moral test from a heavy flame that game them 50% losses they ran in the direction of the terminators right into assult range )

One of the first games I played against my friend he got my SM down to a single lascannon devastator and he was one necron away from phasing out.
I roll a 6 to hit.
Anything but a 1 and I win.
Of course I roll 1 and get assaulted by the nightbringer.

Similar thing happened a few games later, I was about to phase him out- I was in cc with th termies and just needed to kill 2 guys to phase him out. I get something like 5 hits and roll ALL ONES. I still ended up winning, but just barely.

Last game we played apoc and I had my valhallans supported by my imperial fists. I always insist on using a squad of mortars, just because I feel like someday they might actually hurt something. Anyway, I take aim at a warrior squad and naturally it scatters onto some allied termies. I figure no big deal, even if they get wounded he ALWAYS makes the 3+ saves, sm termies shouldnt have an issue.
2/5 fail their save AND get pinned. My jaw was on the floor along with my friend, who was rolling around laughing.

My DP ate himself....

Just to be nit-picky, the Pathfinder squad in Raptor8's post should have a railrifle

I don't have any really funny stories myself (that I can remember) best one I can think of is a game I had a While back where my Railguns failed pretty hard at killing my Necron opponents (I believe) only Monolith. 'Tiss been an unfunny period of time

Edit: wait I got one, me versus Demons, I have 2 full teams of Fire Warriors in rapid fire range of his freshly arrived Bloodletters. Fire the first team, opponent uses the Changeling on me. Me being unfamiliar with the Demon rules, I don't realize I can choose to simply not fire my leadership 7 Fire Warriors. So I roll, fail the test and take out most of the other Fire warrior squad who soon fail their leadership check and die. (being boxed in by Devilfish to the front and Piranha to the back, to prevent assaults) I believe it was on the next turn, a Crisis team comes down with Twin Linked Flamers and Fusion Blasters. Great position to roast those same Bloodletters, Changeling of course stops that attempt as well. The game is going downhill and I'm left with only my Crisis Shas El. As I recall it, (was a while ago) the Suit makes it halfway across the board over two turns facing Tzeench firepower and Flamers and survives to contest the objective. I think I tied tied that game.

About Raptor8s post.

What is so unusual about Terminators eating T'au? Grots eat T'au(and termies too )

Railrifles are AP3 and nothing else would have been a threat.

rapid fired 20 IG with first rankfire second rank fire on a unwounded keeper of secrets K.O.ed it in one round of fire from lasguns.

2 weeks lator agenst the same guy used my Chimera to ram his keeper of secrets who attempted a death or glory and failed!! splat.

a friend fired the plasmacannon on his dread, scattered right back hitting it on the back armour and destroying it.

I wounded mephiston with a heavy bolter

Nah funniest thing Ive had happen was in spearhead.
Outflanked my Baneblade with Usarker Creed, killed a ton, then apocalyptic explosioned killing A MONOLITH. AND removing a ruin leaving the entire necron warrior army in the open at the mercy of my lascannons and plasma cannons! Glorious day..part from loosing the baneblade to a chain reaction on its second 4th penetration :(


Automatically Appended Next Post:
OH yeah Kharn the betrayer and one Khorne Beserker sweeping advanced a 40 man conscript squad! ALL BY THEMSELVES!

I am a new player (Blood Angels) that has only played a couple of games.

First game I ever played I had a couple of guys walking me through it. I was getting hurt pretty bad and a bunch of kroots assaulted my 5 man scout squad.

The only one left alive was my Scout Sarge, and he was about to roll around 30 die to kill him, so I told him don't even worry about it and started to pick him up off the table. One of them told me "ALWAYS ROLL" so I set him back down and he rolled.

Hand to God, 30 die and my Scout Sarge was still standing. (Then got eaten alive the next turn) I promised myself I would always field my Scouts after that and never replace them.

@ Vizion That's a pretty impressive one if I do say so myself. About the equivalent of rolling 11 ones in as many dice.

i admit i have two contenders to my former post. one was during an apoc game when my warhound lost all of it's structure points without exploding to a single meltabomb.

second happened recently. last round of a tournie which decided on whether or not i got second or first i played against my brother who had witch hunters. i had necrons. the tank that has the organ that fires d6 shots at s 8 ap 1 got 6 shots and enough glances to take out my only monolith and a warrior squad because of it.

It was one of the beginner games at the local GW (back in February) and my brother was late getting to GW. He was allowed one HQ and one Troops choice. The game is always SM vs. the rest of us.
The staff told him to just deep strike my guys into the game instead of deploying. He deployed a 19 strong squad of Stealers without scatter but his Tyranid Prime unfortunately scattered next to a LR.

His opponents ended up being 2 Dark Angel players on their 10th week of beginners (so they had one Elite Choice and one HQ each). They both had a 10 man squad of termies and before his stealers could even chew the armour of a marine they had all been shot to pieces buy 16 assault cannon shots and far too many storm bolters. By the beginning of the xenos/traitors turn all he had was the Tyranid Prime w/ rending claws.

Now this was where the fun began. First of all in the shooting phase the DA LR was immobolised and had lost all of it's weapons. He the proceeded to assault his Tyranid into the LR. He then rolled 6 for penetration, a 6 for the D3 for the Rending and a further 6 on the penetration table. This meant that his Tyranid Prime destroyed a Land Raider!!! He saw it as a great revenge for the stealer deaths.

To this day his Tyranid Prime has a LR door on it's base a memento for it's spectacular achievement. On top of that it has since destroyed 2 Rhinos and a Pred.

I laughed so hard when I saw the look on his opponents face when a Nid owned his LR even if he was on my team.

1 single gretchin standing upto A unit of terminators. He's really hard

My opponents Daemon Prince shot at my dreadnought using his pykser power and promptly blew it to pieces and got wounded by the explosion.

He then moved on to my second dreadnought and shot him in the back, that too exploded, and wounded him.

Then by poor fortune my tactical squad rounded a building and using polt pistols plastered him with 6 pistol shots and he lost his two remaining wounds.

Talk about bad luck.

Bad luck for you or for him?

My Chaplain with one wound left got curbstomped by the 2 sniper drones that he assaulted.
Those rifles are pointy, you know.

Playing in a team tournament (2 vs 2), we both have orks.

My tankbustas release a bomb squig...it rolls a one, wanders over to my teammate's deff dread and blows up, tanking the dread.

Oopsie!

When my Shas'o commander charged a squad of 20 Necron warriors with a lord w/ warscyth, won combat, proceeded to overrun the entire squad, which brought him down to less than 25% winning me the game (one of the only things I killed that game).

That guardsman FAIL .

Many years ago in 4th ed I was playing the old guard codex and I had one Sentinal I was using for Lascannon support as I played a mostly ranged guard army with only a Basilisk (back when they were good) and two Leman Russ's one Demolisher and one regular. Well I was playing DA's and my friend had four tactical squads with lascannons every turn he would shoot at least two of those lascannons at the Sentinal since it was destroying his tanks one by one with its Lascannon 1st turn he hits with both and crew shakens it, 2nd turn he misses with both, 3rd turn he hits with one and crew stuns it, 4th turn he misses with both, fifth turn he misses with both, and last turn he hits with both and only crew stuns it. We named the Sentinal God after the game because of its inability to die or get anything less than a crew shaken.

my friend playing chaos moved his deomon prince towards my dred so i shot the multi melta at it nothing
then it moves into assault once aain no damage on either side
i then i cause 1 wound
then like 2 rounds of no damage again
then 1 woundnext round so hes on his lasst wound
then he destroys my dread
gets shot at by a wholle tac squad including a multi melta and flamer also shot at by the master of the forges conversion beamer survives then is killed by my master of the forges bolt pistol

I think the funniest thing was watching a GW employee fly into the most epic high pitched nerd-rage at a very small boy who kept leaning his elbows on the game table and managed to flatten a Tyranid warrior.

Funniest 'in game' moment was probably wizzing up to my friends Predator on the first turn with a land speeder and blowing the turret off, only to have the turret fly 2D6 straight forward and flatten the land speeder.

I had quite a funny game the other day, where I managed to overrun a very unlucky Swooping Hawk Exarch on turn 2, with a Rhino. Then my marine sergeant got set on fire. And the flames just seemed to refuse to go out, but he kept making his armour save... so he spent the entire game running around in circles with his hair on fire (that's what you get for not wearing a helmet!)... Then my rhino fell through a bridge. :|

Good times.

played a game today SM/IG vs ork/CSM my las cannon heavy weapon team killed an ork nob bike in CC. another thing had happend my much disliked executioner(with multi-melta sponsons) managed to immobilized a ork wagon with its multi-meltas and had missed with its las-cannon and plasma cannon

Well, I once saw a few Dark Reapers destroy pretty much an entire army of Tau.

Me personally, my Burnas once destroyed around 20 Tactical marines, but thats actually pretty normal for them. Maybe not quite so much, but a lot.

one thing that I remember, was taking a shooting ork army. I had alot, and I mean alot of troops with pistols. then I freaking roll as many 1-4 combinations that I have ever seen in my life. It was very sad, and I never made it to assault, as the cover fire didnt even scratch the enemy armor.

yeah pretty much, he was on his last wound and he fail his inv, and this was for warptime...

A buddy of mine once stood and predicted every dice roll i made in a 6 turn game !!!!!!!

He wasn't playing and so wasn't trying to psych me out or anything .

He would just stand and say " that plasma gun will over heat " " that armour save will fail " " that one will pass " it was really spooky and started to really get to me !!

Oh and he didn't got ONE wrong !!!!!!

By the last turn i was like " I don't want to roll now " even though I won the game ... it was creepy !!!!!!!!!!1

two tac marines left in a squad, Plasma rifle and plasma cannon. a group of friendly scarabs was holding terminators in place, and managed to kill one, before dieing.

next turn, two plasma shots and a well scattered plasma cannon lands seven dead terminators

in assault, both terminators rolled ones on armour saves... so happy.

During an apocalypse game one of my opponents rolls 6,6,6 with an Imperial Guard Lascannon team to destroy my monolith (which we then remove from the table) Next turn after moving my second monolith into the exact same place as the first one was when it was destroyed my other opponent blows it up with a rail gun.

I have since destroyed that peice of carpet where the event occoured...

Sweeping advanced Ghazgull and some super nobz.

This has happend a few times but its more of a last ditch effort or it there is no better option. My hq casting gift of chaos on a fex and rolling a 6 one shotting it into a spawn.

Done it to the same fex twice. A hive tyrant. A couple SC and a deamon prince being my fav. The chaos gods are fickle granting you princelyhood one moment then down to a spawn the next.

The one that stays in my mind is where my mate was playing a plasma based SM force, and I had my Nids. Least to say my nids only got to eat half his army as the rest were burnt to crisp by thier own plasma weapon mis-fires and failed armour saves. Yup he killed half of his army by his own weapons. From what I remember most of the harder targets as well. Leaving my nids to pile in and chomp em to mulch.

Other not so funny were
:
a smal group of dire avangers with a shimmer sheild(exarch) handed his termie chaplins butt back to him. He also charged me so got the assuslt advantage.

And more recently

And 1 standard tactical SM doing the same thing to the same chaplin. Did have full squad but he charged in with 7 assualt termies and the chappy, killing off all but that guy and another squad. CC wittled down numbers on both sides till the final 2 were left. Of course that left him out in the open and we all know what happens in that situation. yeah, bullets and plenty of them. lol

And another just came to me. Same mate, we decidedto do a cammand squad, tank and commander battle. SHort story my tank died and all but 2 memebrs of the CS and the commander. I move into assualt range and lose the other2, then I charge into CC with the commancder(storm sheild and thunder hammer. Which he proceeded to symte his entire squad and commander into sludge only to be gunned down by the LR waiting 24" away. But he totally owend his command squad to I was happy.

having my Librarian with 1 wound fry his brain with perils of the warp using his force weapon, however the strike killed my opponents Trygon. Epic.

Playing against Necron, he used a Particle whip and targetted a Wave Serpent that just spit out a Full squad of Howling Banshees the previous turn (they ate a squad of warriors, but got back up thanks to a nearby lord) he rolled scattered and landed the shot on a Necron lord with a Res orb, and his attachted squad of warriors. . . which took massive casualties.

He then goes to fail about 90% of his "we'll be back" rolls, uses the Monolith's portal to try to re-roll and get this squad back, rolls even MORE ones. . . . and phases out.

all in turn 3

Eldar opponent tried to Assault a depleted squad of Trukk boys off of an objective in cover. He was assaulting with one Autarch on a jet bike. His Dangerous terrain roll............. a 1. KABOOM! Laughter everywhere as well as Autarch bits. The reference was StarWars Return of the Jedi when the speederbike crashed into the tree int he forrest of Endor.

My funniest moment ever was a when a squad of normal marines was in combat with their chaos counterpart from turn 1(shrike had joined them, we were testing out shrike) and were locked in combat all the way to turn 7 with no casualties! We decided that the chaos marines must've come from the same chapter as the loyalists they were in combat with and they knew each others moves by heart.

Turn 1 both my rhino's get stuck in the woods before moving anywhere. Atleast I learned from it.

Turn one, battlecannon shot from Defiler takes out both my Predator annihalator and a Landspeeder Typhoon, the only two units that could punish it quickly.

First shot of the game, 250pts gone. Wasn't happy. The Defiler then proceeded to laugh off everything I threw at it for the rest of the game.

How did a Half-Str battlecannon Kill the Landspeeder(i assume it was a direct hit on the pred and Partial on the LS)

the worst that could have happned to the Speeder would be an immobilized or a Weapon destroyed. he must have rolled alot of 6s

Immobilized, in a squadron too, lots of sixes...

I played a game in which 10 sternguard (all with combi-meltas) shot from below half range at a land raider.

3 missed.

7 failed armour penetration.

I ate one of the sternguard in fury.

Although later that game a Bike sergeant with a powerfist had the rest of his squad pie-plated by a vindicator (this game was not going well), failed leadership. Then he regrouped, assaulted the vindicator, destroyed it. Then the opponent tank-shocked him with a rhino, death or glory, destroyed it. On turn five he just cruised back over to the objective he had been holding .

ten failed meltas have got to hurt, sturnguard have BS4 correct?

My bezerkers are a source of comedy gold. If they dont lose 6-8 models when their transport gets blown (usually the 1st 2nd turn), then they assault and kill maybe a guardsman. Ever since i started playing them as a khorne cult with spacewolf rules... well 6 of them counterattack 12 boyz and left the nob standing

I've said it before but this is the worst to happen to me.

Monolith particle whips a squad, the shot scatters back, pen's the monolith and explodes it. I had 2 squads of warriors awaiting reserve entry *failed to come in that round* and that was the only monolith in my list. I phased myself out.

Yup BS 4.

i had two bomb squigs both of which ran and blew up my own trucks and killed some of my men

Come on Dakka, I know you have more stories than this.

I blew up a bastion with a lascannon and the wall landed on my land raider which had a daemon prince flying around it. They both died and my chaos dreadnought ran into the explosion to kill himself.

Some sort of special "house rule?"

More house rules?

Eric

Nope, no house rules... Just standard 2nd ed rules.

EDIT: Actually the rhino falling through the bridge was a terrain specific house rule. We couldn't decided if tanks should be able to cross, so agreed to roll a dice each time one tried and the bridge would collapse on a roll of 1 or 2... eventually my Rhino got unlucky.

I had one objective and the other two were contested, the enemy had ghazghull (full wounds) and 5 nobs about 7" away from my objective, it was my last turn and he would have killed me and taken my objective if i didnt kill him so i fired my shock attack gun at him getting a double 6 and dead on on the scatted dice and killing the squad i then won the game by 1 point.
My friend funnies (not mind) was probobley when he wounded my mawloc 5 times in one round of combat with 12 kroot and i was the one who assulted!

An IG guy rapid fired with his 2 remaining Conscripts, out of the 50 he started with and killed my 3 remaining Terminators.

This sucked!, I had one guy left he had a plasma rifle. killed heaps of little orks and there was 2 left. I rolled to hit but over heat! i lsot my match and $5

Had a table full of models and a fly comes and lands on my great unclean one out of all the models

i was playing a game in gw and it was gay pride down the street and when they were finshed they came in gw and started hugging all of us

also 7 guardsmen took down a chaos termi lord in close combat

Didn't anyone ever tell you not to put raw meat inside your models?

One game back in 3rd edition where I misinterpreted my D-cannon into something ridiculous and ended up destroying 50% of my own army in one salvo. I blew up a wave serpant, the guys fell down and got hurt, the second shot hit another wave serpant, the guys hoped out unharmed, and the blast grazed a pirahna, blowing it up and killing most of the squad that got hurt and forcing a lds test on the other squad who proceeded to fallback. That's when I packed up my stuff and left. lol

Wow, eldar have Pirannas now

I understand! My nurglings ended up in a bowl of spaghetti once and they've smelled like Parmesan cheese ever since

No :-\. I was playing against Tau and the shot scattered off the squad of 4 pirahnas and onto my own guys. It scattered like 11 inches because I was even trying to be careful and attack the far end.

A dark eldar ravanger deep striked into my baneblade and the leman russ it was holding popped out and shot the ravanger with its volcano cannon. It blew up and crashed into a unit of chaplains.

um...what.

Unit of chaplains? DOES NOT EXIST.

Deepstriking INTO a bandeblade? DOES NOT EXIST.

Baneblades holding leman russ? DOES NOT EXIST.

Leman russ with volcano cannon? DOES NOT EXIST.

well, you can attach ICs to other ICs so the unit of chaplains is possable.

Baneblades don't carry other units, but a Stormlord could carry a Lemun Russ.

other then that it is balony

Just kidding. I was trying to come up with something totally absurd to get your attention :3

Think the most memorable in recent history was when my Space Wolves went up against Tau. Through sheer luck, one of my Rhinos managed to get all the way to his firing lines and popped out some Grey Hunters to do some damage to his 6-man Fire Warrior squad. So what happens? 10 Hunters deal a grand total of 11 wounds, which sounds good - except he made all but about 4 of them, killing half the squad. On his initiative, one of them sucker-punches one of my Hunters, and of course he fails his save. Wouldn't seem all that bad, except it happened two more times that same game, in almost the exact same manner (they charge, kill all but about 2 or 3 of the squad, and one of them punches out one of mine).

A unit of 2 remaining genestealers managed to take out a Daemon Prince in combat in 2 turns. Then in my turn they charge a lone Obliterator hiding in the first floor of a building. I rolled their attacks and got 2 wounds, not even any rending, and this is with re-rolls. My friend checks his armour save in his codex before saying "I love obliterators." before promptly rolling snake eyes.

During the same round of combat, while still laughing my head off at the previous kill, 2 hormagaunts are fighting 2 Khorne Beserkers. with 4 attacks I managed to get 2 wounds on them. Then the both die as he rolls a 1 and a 2.

The game finished with his Rhino running away from my Hive Tyrant for the next 2 turns before he realised that he couldn't win.

My lone chapter master, has power weapon, storm shield, artificer armor, digital weapons and a jump pack..... what like 260 some points right....

pitted against a tyranid apoc 4000 pts....

oh god the 1, the sixes and the ungodly amounts of threes... thats about 10 carnifexes going on his bio

Deathstrike missile launcher becoming a target for the entire enemy army, including 2 baneblades, a vindicator and several bike squads with meltaguns.

Lots of glancing hits and penning hits, but not one single wrecked/explodes result. Then, missile launches, took out a baneblade, terminator squad and a dreadnought. Then the deathstrike launcher blew up and killed the 3 bikers with meltaguns...

I was just lying on the floor just pissing myself laughing.

oh man. probably the best thing thats ever happened or ever will happen to me happened today.
I was playing my guard against my friends necrons, just a friendly game with no turn limits, just eradication.

I had my back against the wall, Commissar Yarrick was my last man alive and I was just 3 necrons away from phasing him out.
I went balls to the wall and charged a heavy destroyer squad. I killed one but then a squad of pariahs charged in and killed yarrick.
I kid you not, EIGHT TIMES STRAIGHT Yarrick made his bloody but defiant roll and stood back up to charge into combat. He FINALLY was slain after 8 game turns of assaulting and being felled but not before he phased out my friend (we kept playing to see how long he could last)
Needless to say he now has a golden claw..

wow. lol. mine has made his five times in one game before.

Yarrick is beast.
