I think it would be interesting to see what everyones worst luck in a game is. i have heard of some one who tried to deepstrike a 10-man squad of chaos terminators
but lost them. in one game i played, my friend landed a devilfish troop carrier in the middle of the board but he forgot i had a dreadnought with a multimelta right near

So, what is your worst luck?

Had a game where I was playing as Blood Angels. The majority of my army involved plasma. The majority of my army blew themselves up in the first turn they arrived on the board.

Had my librarian HQ in terminator armour and a sanguinary priest nearby survive 2 rounds of shooting from 3 ork big shootas, only to fail his pyschic test, perils of the warp, and then trip ones for saves. This was in a game where your ONLY goal was to make sure your HQ survived. Lost turn 2.

I mean, the Genestealers were okay, but the beer was never the same again...

I have issues with this as well, so much so in fact that I now refer to any melta weapon in my army as a 'magic marker'. Most people I play against think I'm off my rocker but strangely enough it works, if I don't say, "marine x is firing his melta" I don't miss.

Fighting against Eldar, they have some fancy forcefield thingy on Wave Serpents that reduces anythign higher than S8 to S8 when firing on the Serpent.

I hit a lot....my dice just suddenly decided that they wanted to be Gaussian distribution dice. I lost count of the sheer number of '3s' I rolled.

Isnt that something war walkers have? but their hover vehicles dont? or at least it didnt in 3rd edition. Because i played a guy who claimed he had upgraded his falcons with that but when i asked to see it in his codex eldar he couldnt find it

The worst luck i had in a game was when an ork mekboy dropped a template on a unit of khorne berserkers, it covered all of them ( i failed my 4+ saves to see if the ones on the edge were under the template) and he got 2+ and killed all 8 of them.

im sure war walkers had something like "attacks greater than s8 count as 8" because they only had 10 armor on front. but when he started using this on armour 12 falcons with the upgrade where he got to roll 2 dice on damage and choose the result he wanted it made it real tough for my CSM.

He was cheating then, because Falcons could never get the energy field. War Walkers did have that energy field, but they lost it in the 4th Ed codex when they stopped being open topped. Now only Wave Serpents can get the Energy Field, but they cannot get the Holo Field too (that would just be too good). The holo field also doesn't let him pick a result, you roll 2 dice per roll of on the damage chart and take the lowest.

Back on topic: I can't count the number of massive fails I've had, and always with bad dice at crucial moments. Some examples from a game last night:

Wanted to Make my Farseer run into terrain so he could see Belial and Mind War him. I rolled 3 ones, then when I decided to fleet him for a better view next turn, another 1.
Same farseer at the end of the game managed to reverse that with a massive burst of speed, assaulted a dreadnaught that was going to kill my last troops choice in an objective based game, hit said dreadnaught with 3 attacks...

I rolled a 1 and 2 2's on the pen roll, and the Dread pulped my last Guardian Jetbikes.

THIS GAME.

over 1500 points of imperial guardsmen, every unit of which was armed with at least two weapons which contained the word "melta", along with 3 eviscerators, and 2 pieces of multi-shot S10 ordnance, attack a single land raider for 4 turns.

It comes out almost without a scratch.

My opponent wins the game because of this.

Every single game that isn't against Kan spam, Nids, or more Kan Spam. Most of the time the dice deviate for less than expected. But the worst would have to be when I was against my friend's Ork Biker mob which always forced me to roll tremendously high. As expected, I do little to nothing with crap rolls against the disgusting mob of frothing cheese.

Back in the Rogue Trader days, before we had any real army lists, I built a tricked-out Eldar force like no other. Everyone had a Conversion Field and targeters on their shuriken catapults. I was playing an Imperial Army force (Imperial "Guard" wasn't quite here yet.) I needed 2's to hit, 3's to wound, and 4's to save. Starting on the second turn (when the shooting began) it seeemd like everything I rolled was a "1." So we started keeping track, and I managed to roll another 73 1's in a row. During the course of that terrible streak of bad luck, I must have switched out my dice a half dozen times. I hit nothing and failed every armor save! Killer Army Of Doom vaporized in two turns!

I had a battle where it was neck and neck the whole game, it came down to a sternguard sergeant versus 2 genestealers. He killed one with his powersword, the other genestealer rended him and killed him the next turn. The genestealer was the last model on the board.

So today I lost my first game of 40k on the table top with my C:SM army since July. I play basically at least once every other week, and I finally lost today.

I've had dice run cold and still pulled through, but today they just took a stand and said "No."

His army: BA dread list with 2x autocannon dreads, 2x furioso dreads, a death company dread and 2 normal dreads with assault cannon and dccw. Oh yeah, and mephiston in there too. only troops were a small death company squad, and the death co dread. Either way he was going to be playing to table me. I wasn't too afraid from the start, but I figured his list would be tough.

I ran my standard 1500 point list you can find the link to in my sig below.

He made me go first, so that his dreads could drop in beside me (death company and a furioso). DoW deployment. We both walk everything on turn 1. Maybe I should have reserved everything to make his pods drop, I dunno.

In any case, I zoom up. His turn he walks on and pods 2 dreads, which wreck a razorback and shake a speeder.

My turn, I shoot my whole army at his 2 dreads that pod near me (3 missiles, 2 assault cannons, 2 multimeltas in melta range, an autocannon and 2 lascannons) and fail to do any damage. With the nightfight over, basically all my vehicles disappear. By turn 7 I have only the LR left that is cruising around failing to do any damage turn after turn with its multimelta and assault cannon.

In assault, my terminators fail 3/4 3++ saves and I proceed to knock off a dread lightning claw thingy. I spend the next 4 rounds of combat not getting a single hit.

The dice said "No."

My mate paul spent months saving for his Thunderwolf Calvalry, he bought them and spent months painting them. They were wonderful and the whole club was hawking around the board as he took on the club treasurer in a grudge match for the 1st ever time with Thunderwolf Calvalry.

The 1k Sons were doing well, so he brought on his reserves (including the TW Cavalry). He moved them forward, and is moment of inattention went to grab his mug of coffee and suffered a complete motor-neuron, hand eye co-ordination meh.(some blame a Haywire grenade thrown somewhere at the back of the room). 3 of the beautiful models went tumbling, and smash into the deck.

You, know its bad when there is a collective intake of breath and then no one says a word for 2 mins....
Then the club chairman said "There not that tough are they!".

My god, I thought I would Sh*t a kidney i was laughing that hard.

Had a winged hive tyrant that wanted to jump up on some ruins to om nom some eldar rangers that were being pests. Took a wound from a failed difficult terrain roll when he landed. Assaulted into the rangers and completely whiffed, while they tacked on another wound. On his turn I whiff again and they pile on two more wounds...one dead hive tyrant and they had not a scratch...

Anything to hit.. And armor saves.. And to wound.. And cover saves.. And moral tests.. And scatter dice.. And reserves rolls . . . .

Not really luck, more like I'm an idiot, but I was just playing an apoc game to the death with my friend yesterday and we were both down to one unit left and he ended up killing me. I turned around to put my fallen commander on the shelf and saw I forgot to bring in 3 squads of stormtroopers and marbo from reserves. It was turn like 8 or something so they would have come automatically and I would have easily finished him off.
Ugh.

Worst game ever was against a Tau palyer when I got the bright idea to keep all my forces in reserve except my Vendetta, which was to deep strike. Second turn starts and my command squad comes in and my vendetta deepstrikes with it's melta vets, but mishaps and makes a nice crater. I fire with my command squad instead of move and since they all carry plasma, they all self destruct. All my reserve come in 4th round (or 3rd, I forget), but the Tau player has long since had a gunline ready for this and in the next two turns he manages to annihilate all my forces and I think I manage to take out 4 firewarriors...

I was playing IG, my friend was playing Daemons. He had a Soul Grinder and he fired it's Str 8 ordnance shot against one of my platoons, which he wanted to thin down before charging in with a DP. The blast scatttered 12" and only hit 5 guardsmen. He then rolled 4 1s out of 5 for his wound rolls. Then, his DP charged in and only killed about 2 guardsmen and was then, killed by the sheer amount of attacks it suffered in return.

I can beat that. Scout squad assaults DP. It takes the DP3 turns to kill 4 scouts, while the sarge inflicts 3 wounds. The sarge flees when reinforcements (PF/SB termies) arrive. Termies are killed over 2 turns. sargeant Caddius levels his bolt pistol, and the round goes straight into the daemon's howling maw. I would post his other great kills, but I feel I have posted his victories in basically every thread about this kind of thing.

My first try using a biker boss. I charged him at a LR holding a libby in it, totally forgetting about the hits land according to the distance moved. Needed alot of 6s, so obviously failed horribly. His entire army shot at him and he luckily saved/dodged the attacks until one lucky razorback with HB finally killed him. After that I was just tabled. It was terribad

I once charged 8 Sisters into 6 Fire Warriors in some cover. The terrain had dangerous when charging from the direction I was going into, and one sister dies on that. I didn't have grenades, so they go first and manage to kill a sister. I strike back and kill only one warrior, and stay in. His assault phase, we continue, I kill no Warriors, he kills 2 more sisters, and I run. I luckily didn't get swept. I rolled a "2" on that initiative test and was scared shitless of getting SWEPT BY FIREWARRIORS. Geez...

You know those games where all you have to do is make a few saving throws and you'll be fine? Yea... had a few of those.

Yet the worst luck was a game CSM vs imp guard. The guy litterally had every template hit dead on and I was failing +2 saves by the truckloads, I never even killed a model.

Same game, guardsmen vs plague marines, I fumbled all my attack rolls/wound rolls/he makes his few armor saves and proceeds to watch as I fail most of my armor and FNP, then a powerfist his sarge had finished off the rest.

I mean 7 plague marines vs 10 guardsmen and I get the charge, what can go wrong :(

That is luck so bad it borders on the obscene. I don't even want to know the odds of that actually happening. You'd need 6, 6, 6; 1, 1, 2; or 1, 1, 1 followed by another 1 or a 2. For each power. In a row.

Only 1 happened to me; 3000 points per side Apoc Game with the wife; My Guard vs her orks. Game took 1 hour to play, I lost. I was fielding a banesword, that got taken out by her Warboss and 5 PK Nobz in 1 turn, every other unit got killed by the Stompa's Supper gatling cannon(she rolled dice for a half hour chewing through unit after unit; every unit fled the field) my 4 vehicles each took either a Boom-gun round to the face(exploding my Armored sentinel), a super-rocket(capping my Chimera, and wrecking the other Sentinel) or the last round of Gattler fire followed by a deth kannon direct hit(exploding my Bassilisk).

in another 3000 point apoc game it was my Guard vs my friends BA: he kept everything in strategic reserve except a vindicator and Baal pred(w/Flamestorm); the Pred took a lascannon to the side armor and was wrecked, while the Vindi had a Bassilisk round dropped on its roof. He then brings in a Libby Dread and Sang guard unit in a storm raven; Flat outs the Storm raven right in front of my Stormsword, and gloats that it is likely to die from Blood-missile/lance and MM death next turn(forgetting or not realizing I am about to hit him with a S10 AP1 no-cover save ordnance piece); I proceed to Blast him with my Stormsword cannon, exploding his raven, killing a few of the Sang guard from that blast, then dropping 2 Plasma Cannon shots directly on the now sitting in the open Sang guard removing the lot, Dante then falls to a pair of Blob-carried lascannons, and the Dread dies to a bassie round. Every Scatter die rolled was a dead hit. He conceded the game right there, which I accepted because he had just around 1000 points left against my entire force(I had not lost a single model). We have since decided against my fielding any super-heavies until he gets one(he scratch built a warhound so we may have another go soon).

Well, a few tourneys ago I had some foot CSMs. I wound up on a nearly empty board against a tank heavy Guard army. Both units of deep strikers I had wound up getting destroyed by mishaps. The rest of the army lasted until Turn 3.

My opponent felt kind of bad about the whole thing too. I couldn't really argue though since I'd played him a few times before and seen his poor luck with dice and the like. He's a nice player and I just figured he deserved the win.

Many years ago my opponent deepstrikes his 5 terminators into the midst of my guard lines, his various weapons wreak havoc on my command squad who alone had the power weapons to defeat them. In my turn i had one last hope, the lone survivor of a special weapons squad. He strode forward and threw his Demo charge. The template hits perfectly, enveloping all six terminators in it's Transluscent plastic embrace. It wounds all 6, the attached lord didn't have daemonic rune (an eldritch upgrade that stopped ID). I almost felt sorry for him when he picked up the dice for Crux Terminatus saves, that was until he rolled six fives.

I was playing tyranids against my IG friend. I ambushed his squad of 20 basic guardsmen with 3 lictors. All 3 of my lictors were beaten to death without inflicting more than 2-4 kills on the guardsmen. I got massacred and he got a consolodation move into cover. In the same game my Zoanthrope failed his psychic test... Twice. Then my ygmarls were destroyed before they could wake up. Then my hive tyrant got beaten up by a Commisar with a Power Fist after the hive guard got rapid fire'd/battle cannoned to death. That was a sad, sad day.

This past game my friend had aRazorback transport deployed on the opposite side as my Guard Lascannon team. I shoot it, penetrate, and wreck it. They bail out, lose 2 of the 5 man squad because of a dangerous terrain check, they fail their morale check, then run right off the board.

It was his bad luck, not mine. ^^

Of the 10 armor saves for my 6 terminators I rolled 8 1's. That was pretty epic.

I'm horrible with my plasma cannons. They seem to roll a 1 for 'Gets Hot' way more than 1 in 6 times. Not sure why I keep taking them other than the gambler's creed: "Surely I'm due this time!"

My Blood Angel meltas seriously never kill anything. Grots laugh in their faces.

On the other hand, my Mek's SAG is crazy lucky. Playing a friends Sisters of Battle, he gives a squad of 12 sisters invulnerable saves, expecting me to shoot my Shokk at it. I instead focus it on the squad next to the invulnerable squad, which is much smaller. Roll to scatter... get 12"... I'm sweating because I am expecting it to deviate into the middle of nowhere. Instead it scatters onto the squad my friend made Invulnerable... and I proceed to get double 6s, removing the entire squad, all 12 of them, in one shot.

I have two.

First: 10 Terminators sitting in the middle of a field surrounded by my friends Eldar he runs a wave serpent full of Fire Dragons up to my Terminators. 10 Meltagun shots, 8 wounds, 7 Terminator saves made. Needless to say he was ready to cry because he knew what was coming next turn. Did I mention his Bright Lances didn't do jack to my terminators in that same turn.

Two: Doubles tournament with my friend playing IG. He took Guardsmen Marbo for a point sink. Marbo comes on the board and throws his demo charge at a unit and totally wiffs, but he survives a few bolter rounds that went his way because of cover. Next turn my friend shoots some Plasma from his Executioner at a squad of 10 Terminators and only manages to kill 2 of them, Marbo then takes a shot with his AP 2 ripper pistol and kills another one forcing a leadership test that the Terminators promptly fail, he was only 1inch away from the terminators and they flee 5 inches. He survives yet another turn of shooting and runs to get even closer to the Terminators. On our opponents next turn the Terminators roll 10" and run off the board. So apparently warriors who have been fighting for several hundred years and have earned the right to wear the most venerated armor in the whole of the Imperium are scared of Guardsmen Marbo who I'm pretty sure isn't even wearing a shirt.

turn 2- respwns and fail PotW 3 times, dies.
turn 3- respwans and kills a tervigon and 7 gaunts it spawned.
turn 4- killed the sanguinor with a Vortex, followed by smite, followed by bashing with might of the ancients.
turn 5- died to some DE character who has D3 clones per turn and regenerates lost wounds (so even if he only has 1 clone you need to inflict 4 wounds to kill outright- I had 3.)
came second out of 7 competitors. the scoreboard was:

I was running 2 full squads of Dire Avengers, one with Eldrad, and they disembarked to bladestorm a squad of horrors of Tzeentch. He had a Changeling in the squad, and for those of who you don't know when you shoot at the Changeling's unit, you have to take a leadership test and if you fail, the opponent gets to pick the target for the squad that failed its test. My Dire Avengers with Eldrad bladestormed my other squad of Dire Avengers. I lost half my troops section in 1 go, on my own turn.

I had a squad of (20) conscripts that where in line of sight with a squad of berzerkers, oh, I'd say 18" away. Decided to kill them when their attention was turned to me. After rolling handfuls of lasfire dice for a whole turn, plus the dice from my mortar squad behind them, the 'zerkerz reached my conscripts with non-exist casualties. The conscripts died gloriously slow, though, and for their sacrifice a demolisher was able to mave into position and take care of those Khornate Heretics. Of course, not being able to to destroy a 10 man squad of berzerkers with artillery support and 20 conscripts made me doubt the power of the Emperor for a moment...

The Landspeeder knocks off one guy, meaning i only need to kill one to force a morale check on the wracks...and the Lasplas razorbacks proceed to roll straight 1s and 2s on 3 plasma shots and 2 lascannon shots in a row, all of which would have instagibbed and denied FNP. Awesome. Lost the game right there, when he then rolled a 6 to assault 5.9 inches into cover and contest my objective, and my librarian proceeded to fail to even hit the Talos to do the Force Weapon.

I was playing a DE player who was pretty much down to his Archon on the board in a killpoint game, I had stupidly fielded enough units that his killpoint amount was the same as mine despite him only having his HQ left.
So it was my turn, last turn of the game and all I had to do was kill this Archon. Now he had this bit of kit that gave him a 2+ invuln, but if he failed it once, he couldn't use it any more.
I threw everything at this Archon, literally everything. And this is an ork footslogging horde army packed full of shoota boyz, lootas and deffkoptas. In the shooting phase I racked up near enough 100 wounds on ths bastard.
So he starts rolling (he has to roll each individually so if his 2+ thing fails he can roll the rest against armour or whatever).

He keeps rolling...
...and rolling...
all saved, not a single one.

No biggy though, because my warboss and his 20-strong unit of boyz will finish the job, in they go to assault...
They boyz score a decent amount of wounds, although the archons kill my warboss.
He rolls 20-odd saves, and fails the LAST FECKING ONE!!!

HIS FIELD COLLAPSES JUST AS I RUN OUT OF BLOODY ATTACKS!!! 120 WOUNDS TO SAVE AND THE LAST SHITEY ONE!

And if he hadn't of killed the warboss, I would have insta-killed him with that afterwards.

Game ends, he scores a draw with one archon who is effectively now armoured in bogroll left on the pitch surrounded by a sea of orks.

I really needed to get that off my chest...

Sorry about the vagueness, and it was quite recently too, Internet but had a unit of DE (Trueborn??) which gave me lots of lovely attacks against something (a vehicle I believe??) and after rolling to hit I was left with 21 opportunities to roll the 6's I needed to glance the enemy. 21 dice? No worries, 3 or 4 sixes on a bad day easily!?! I guess you can tell what's coming? Not one sodding 6 out of 21 dice!!!!! I was horrified!

I know people always say their rolling is poor, but mine REALLY is! I sometimes wonder if I should just give if all up!

Or employ a Romanian to roll for me!

So it was my turn, last turn of the game and all I had to do was kill this Archon. Now he had this bit of kit that gave him a 2+ invuln, but if he failed it once, he couldn't use it any more.
I threw everything at this Archon, literally everything. And this is an ork footslogging horde army packed full of shoota boyz, lootas and deffkoptas. In the shooting phase I racked up near enough 100 wounds on ths bastard.
So he starts rolling (he has to roll each individually so if his 2+ thing fails he can roll the rest against armour or whatever).

He keeps rolling...
...and rolling...
all saved, not a single one.

No biggy though, because my warboss and his 20-strong unit of boyz will finish the job, in they go to assault...
They boyz score a decent amount of wounds, although the archons kill my warboss.
He rolls 20-odd saves, and fails the LAST FECKING ONE!!!

HIS FIELD COLLAPSES JUST AS I RUN OUT OF BLOODY ATTACKS!!! 120 WOUNDS TO SAVE AND THE LAST SHITEY ONE!

And if he hadn't of killed the warboss, I would have insta-killed him with that afterwards.

Game ends, he scores a draw with one archon who is effectively now armoured in bogroll left on the pitch surrounded by a sea of orks.

I really needed to get that off my chest...
If you were tied before that point and he killed your warboss then wouldn't he actually have won?

Well I'd have to say my worst luck so far(haven't been playing all that long) was when I dropped 5 terminators onto the board and the got cut down right away by a squad of gaurdsman... ouch... alot of ones on my part.

Thought I might quickly metion an opponents bad luck.

We were about 3-4 hours through a 6 hour long 'capture the buliding' game (yes, I know that that isn't a real name) when he started moving a devastator squad up my flank. now, the only units i had in a position where they could fire at him, were scouts. pathetic, weak, scrawny scouts. I shot anyway, to see if i could hit him (didn't think it was likely). The devastators were at the far end of a shotguns range, so this meant all my (6) units could fire. they all hit. And the shot that killed one of his Rocket-Launcher toting Devastators, was a shotgun blast. His face was amazing once he realised what happened.

5 man assault terminator squad wiped out in a single turn with 4 lasguns. Although in the same game that particular opponents favorite unit, his 10 stormtrooper squad, were unlucky. They had ended their turn disembarked from a vendetta. I had a single marine with a missile launcher behind them and he had completely forgot him. Krak missile to rear armor, penetrating hit, the vendetta exploded and managed to kill the whole stormtrooper squad in the explosion.

My mob of 20 boyz wiped out in CC by a squad of fire warriors, who didn't take a single casualty.

Haha, it happened to a guy I was playing against who used Dark Eldar. Don't know what the name of the squad was, but he assault my fire warriors with a buncha guys who had like 3 attacks each. He lost all his guys, I lost 2 fire warriors. We were both shocked! Haha!

I had quite some awesome impossible bad luck rolls, most noteably twenty guardsmen on a rooftop firing FRFSRF into my 5 bikernobz and a bikerwarboss. 40 shots hit on a 4+, wound on a 6+, 4+ armor/cover, FNP, equals to... 11 wounds! Killed all but one nob and left one wound on the warboss.

Though the most epic appearance of Miss Fortune was during a game between me and my common eldar opponent:

Eldar went first, primary kill points, secondary objectives, tertiary table quarters, Spearhead, Turn 7. I am 1 point ahead in killpoints.

Eldars Turn:
Serpent rams flat out over 24"(yeah, exactly 24") and hits battlewagon in the side arc for S10 hit on both vehicles. Battlewagon stunned, reduced to shaken. Serpent was not glanced.
Six Dire Avengers bladestorm at a wounded nob and three boyz left from a shoota mob. Three wounds. They go to the ground, one 6+ save made. Nob kills last boy with boss pole and makes his moral check.
Farseer with more dire avengers finally reach a rokkit kopta that has been shooting and assaulting a fire prism since turn 1. After the immobilized in the first turn, it did nothing but sometimes shake it for seven turns. The dire avengers all miss. The farseer shots the kopta with his pistol and kills it, taking the last wound off.
Said Fire Prism shoots the small blast at BigMek and Warboss (deadly duo) out in the open to instant-death the bigmek. Scatters 1" after BS, hits only the bigmek. Wound allocated to warboss who fails his save but has two wounds left.

My turn, now drawn on killpoints, eldar controls two objectives, contests two more, quarters are drawn.
Deff rolla the ramming serpent. Dodge.
Ork boyz charge the serpent that rammed the battlewagon. They blow of all weapons, immobilize it. Nob auto-hits, glances three and penetrates one attack, gives it a good shaking.
The deadly duo attacks five dire avengers(yeah, they're everywhere... as well as smoldering wave serpent wrecks) on an objective. Combi-Scorcha hits them all, wounds none(Yahtzee!). In the assault, the dire avengers fail to wound them due to warboss toughness. The bigmek uses his burna as energy weapon, fails to hit even a single one. Warboss smashes three into the ground, the exarch and the last avenger fail moral. Sweeping advances at I6 for them and I3 for the duo. Eldar: Orks:

I end my turn, winning the game by one kill point. What a bunch of failed rolls(on both sides!) during that game. I also managed to blow all six eldar rocket launchers off the serpents before destroying or a single one. My lootaz now officially have Prefered Enemy: Eldar Rocketlaunchers.

I rarely use plasma weapons. I have the uncanny ability to roll a 1 on Gets Hot! and then roll another 1 on my armour save... oh, and this is almost always on the first turn. It's happened to the same Plasma Cannon two games in a row.

In almost every game, my Chaos Dreadnought runs a 1 on the Crazed rule, so he shoots at my own figures. As we have just deployed, it's usual that I lose 1 or 2 men at it... :(

6 5-man legion of the damned squads deep striking into a 5,000pt guardsmen vs guardsmen & marines game- jam packed board. each squad has an error margin of 1" or less.
All bar one of them hit, without the need to re-roll.
the ONE squad that mishaps takes no losses and the multi-melta in the squad rolls a 3, then a 6, then a 6, 6, 6, destroying the nearby hellhammer (?) in one shot causing a S10 hit 23" in diameter, destroying a platoon of guardsmen, a leman russ and wiping out a squad of terminators accompanying brother-captain stern.
that's fairly unlikely.
