Simple question: Do you have a model that continously fails and what does it do/not do?
For me it would have to be my BT plasma gunner. Every game I play (with one exception) he has rolled one to hit,failed his save and killed himself in the gets hot.
But what about you?

My Ork Lootas. I can't seem to make them shoot enough dakka or hit for that sakes. They have so far never killed anyone in a game.

And i still take them with me? Why i don't know...

Though my own units don't really have too many problems (although my KFF Mek has his moments) my friend has a Tau Hammerhead that rolls an inordinate amount of ones for hits or wounds.

This has gotten to the point I've ignored it several times because I know it's not going to hit a damn thing.

It's not a model, but the one thing that always fails me is the roll on the vehicle damage table. Every time I always easily penetrate a LRBT with my Lascannon predator I roll a 1 for crew shaken. Then the broken tank gets to fish itself out of the bin.

Well, It would have to be my leman russ demolisher. The reason why is every game it either get's destroyed firt or second turn when it's outta range. Or it just get shaken and stunned results the whole game so it can't do anything, ever! Even when I finally get one shot off, it scattered back onto itself and exploded and killed 5 guys next to it. It;s fething awful!

Zoanthropes. I have had one game where they successfully killed a tank or two, but in every other game I have fielded them (around 6-8 games...) they have either failed psychic tests, missed entirely, or simply been shot and failed their 3++. There was one time that they killed an entire space marine. That was great.

I now use them only for synapse in very small games, because I know that they can't do anything else.

A toss up between my Storm Troopers and HWTs. Doesn't matter what I do with the HWTs, I never kill a thing. The STs always make an awesomely dynamic entry and get butchered by some unit that is like 20pts.

My Biker Warboss, after he was finally finished being painted, did nothing but fail for a long while.

First game after being painted, he rides over a ravine to get to the enemy army. Fails his dangerous terrain test, takes a wound. Enemy turn, he gets shot by a storm bolter, takes a wound. My turn again, he assaults an enemy rhino (after his deffkopta escort failed to even touch it with their TL rokkits), blows it up, and dies in the explosion.

In another game, he rockets across the map into the enemy Space Marine lines, only to lose combat and die to a 5-man unit of tac marines.

Finally, in a game against the Tau, he makes it into combat with a unit of Firewarriors and their Devilfish. He makes one (autohit) attack against the Devilfish, and the rest against the Firewarriors. He misses the Devilfish, and whiffs all but one hit agains the fire warriors. The single hit fails to wound, and then the fire warriors inflict one wound on him. He fails his leadership test, runs, and then gets SWEPT BY FIREWARRIORS.

Thankfully though, he's been slowly making a bit of a comback, having almost solo'd half of a combined Tyranid/Ork force in a 2000 pts doubles game, and killing over 400 points worth of Death Cult Assassins and Grey Knights in his most recent forray. Hopefully his success is not fleeting.

I kit them out with PWs, PFs, WCs, and THs. And all they do is take wounds for Arjac Rockfist. They have never made it out of a combat, and their Land Raider has never survived a game.

So far, I have played 6 games with my Shokk Attack Gun. In 4 of them, he has blown himself and his squad up in 3 turns or less, in 1 of them he shot himself into CC with pink horrors on turn 2, and in 1 he did what he was gakking supposed to.

I'm surprised it lasts that long! They're pretty easy to wreck.

My consistently under performing units would have to be my three Vindicators in my Iron Warriors army. Turn 1 sees one get wrecked, turn 2 sees one get immobilized, and by turn 3 they've either all been wrecked, all lost their guns, or all immobilized facing the wrong direction or something. When they actually fire, they almost always miss, fail to wound, or in some cases land on my own guys. Anything that hits their armor rolls straight sixes with startling regularity, and even against armies with limited long range firepower, every shot hits and penetrates on these things. They're like a magnet for bad luck.

Same for me. If they weren't the only unit I had with a 3++ save then I wouldn't bother with them. Last game, threw 2 11s for psychic tests, and a couple of 1s on the pen role for the lance attack. In 4 turns they lived 3 of them immobilised one predator - for 180 points. I get more use out of the mycetic spore.

A specific one of my Aspiring Sorcerers for my Thousand Sons used to fail so regularly that he earned the nickname "Kenny". He'd either blow his own head off with Perils of the Warp, fail to hit or wound anything, or explode into a Greater Daemon which would then completely fail to do anything as well.

He's been getting better lately though! I suspect he's been earning experience and levelling up behind my back or something.

Any Fire Dragon I touch gets a severe case of the FAILS . Over 5 games in a tournament a few years back , my 6 man Falcon squad accounted for a Rhino and 3 Tac Marines . Only . It wasn't for a lack of trying , but when an Emperors Champ rolls for the 2 wounds my 5 Dragons dished out , you know their cursed .

My new squad (third time lucky I hope ...) has yet to be tested properly . It did take Eldrad to destroy a LR they tried to shoot at recently . Not feeling the love with them either .

My terminators.

Every game these veterans warriors have a chance to prove their skills to their non-veteran battle-brothers, and every time, without fail, their demonstration of "discipline wave of bolter fire" ends in less than 50% hit and less than 50% wound (especially against orks).

Way to lead by example!

I too can't hit jack all with melta weapons. I have a few combi-meltas in a sternguard squad that flat out refuse to hit any target I aim them at. Multimeltas on dreadnoughts also never hit anything either, and I've played 7 turn games where my dreadnought never hit anything with a multimelta. It seems universal in my gaming group though; multimeltas just don't hit anything.

The biggest standouts for me are my Grey Hunters with Meltaguns. Between all the squads I'll shoot the meltaguns probably 12-16 times per game. They will on average kill 3 things in total all game long.

The other stand-out is my Chaos Liutenant on bike. Even with a 2+ armor save and skilled rider he blows himself up with his own plasma or constantly splats himself dead into trees/rocks/etc.

Well I wouldn't say the whole model because he actually serves me very well. But whenever my swarmlord casts leech essence to try and gain wounds back, he nearly always causes a perils, twice he has actually killed himself because of it (the irony of doing this in order to try and prolong his existence is palpable).

Or I will always have one of my trygons roll a 1 when the fleet roll is what would get him into combat.

But other than that, I wouldn't say I have any models that consistently do badly for me.

I'm on the boat for the melta-hate as well. My meltavets can never kill anything with their guns. I think they have more kills in cc than in shooting.

And on the topic of CC....

My Tau do fairly well in shooting, but they have done much better in CC. Once a squad of 6 Fire Warriors w/ Shas'Ui whittled away a Assault Marine Combat Squad until all that was left was the Sergeant w/ Power Fist. I plan on playing Farsight Enclaves when the update rolls along.

I run them in two pairs with Warrior squads, so you'd think 4 S8 AP2 shots would hurt something, or at least, you know, hit.

I have learned a crucial rule as far as lascannons are concerned - if you only fire one, it will almost never hit. And if it does hit, it will not wound or pen. Never, ever, fire a lascannon by itself.

Drahzar master of blades, I've played about 6 games with him and he's always been killed, even if my wyches (200 points, cheaper than drahzar) are walking around killing Calgar and his honour guard while drahzar is in his death bed via AOBR terminators

Yes, I have an armoured Sentinel with missile launcher. I played three times tonight, did not have one glance or penetrating hit. A failure in that department. However, it did tar pit a unit of Eldar guardians twice. So, it does not do what I need it to, however, I still find a use.

Have never had a model fail to do anything as much as the AoBR Dread. Couldn't hit anything either ranged or in melee, but could take quite a few hits back before being wrecked.

These days it has been ripped apart and used for terrain and bits for conversions.

My Librarian can never make a Psychic Hood roll. He did so only once out of maybe 10 games, and it wasn't even on a game-breaking power.

When I first started I made myself a fancy Chaos Termie Lord with a khorne daemon weapon and a combi-melta. He never made a save with 2+ or 5+ in about 10 games. And rarely if ever got any attacks because of 1s with his weapon rolls.
I put on the shelf for 3ish months before picking him up and making a desperate attempt to use him. He took on like 30 assault marines with powerfists and killed all but 3 before dying off. Only time his luck ever turned around. Now I use him as a Termie champ only to be sacrificed to my greater daemon.

I have 2 Models that constantly fail. Abaddon he is supposed to take out all the decent characters on the board as he has an amazing statline. but always rolls a 1 (facepalm).
oh and land raider its supposed to destroy a medium armour vehicle but cannot hit even with re-rolls. I think i may take off Daemonic Possession.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, my favorite Melta Marine has never died, and my Daemon Prince is always a winner. My chaos Terminator champion with a chainfist and Heavy flamer has also never died, surprisingly.

Attach a Lord Commissar with a power fist. Pricey, but it will make them better and harder to run down.

When I played 'nids, zoanthropes. EVERY TIME.

I think with the 20+ games I played with them, they never worked once.

Either the spore would deep strike too far away to be useful, or they'd fail their psychic test, or they wouldn't hit, or they wouldn't pen.

Fething annoying...

With the crons I havent had much bad luck. Imotekh WITHOUT a res orb lord came back 3 times in one game

Anything resembling a Predator. Never kill ANYTHING, and there have been a few games where my friend's stealthsuits have arrived from reserves right next to it, and simply stunned it with their burst cannons for the ENTIRE FETHING GAME.

My Autocannon/Lascannon predator, specifically the 2 lascannons. They rarely hit, and when they do hit they rarely wound. The autocannon on the other hand is great. Always does damage. Too bad it doesn't ID T4 models

For me, it's pretty much anything with a single dice being rolled at a time.

So meltaguns, multi-meltas, lascannons, plasma pistols, and krak missiles.

I will admit that they do MUCH better if they're firing with their squad, assuming they have one. But if they're firing alone, they're gonna miss, and if they don't miss by some miracle, they're not gonna wound.

It's gotten to the point where with my Sisters of Battle, when I'm firing the squad's meltagun at a tank or building or what have you, I'll roll the squad's bolters too even if I know they can't do anything at all.

My first game with my Exorcist, it had a good opening volley, it got off six missiles on turn one and blew up a Vindicator - which is really dangerous, because my Sisters mostly footslog. After that, it was basically 1s every turn, with maybe a 2 or two. In its second game, which has yet to be completed, it's gotten a 6, then a 5 thus far, so it's doing better.

Which reminds me, I haven't used any Faith Points yet in my current game... I forgot all about it. My faith points and Act of Faith rolls suffer from the issue of the single-dice failure as badly as my meltaguns and weapons do.

I usually run squads of marines with dual melta guns, IIRC my hit percentage is a little under 50% with BS 4 marines...not to mention how often i roll the old snake eyes for pen against a rhino with melta guns...

For me its Zagstruk, when I first started playing Ork I was thinking this dude is going to be awesome!!! Deepstrike and attack from the back!!!!

For me all he has done is deepstrike himself and 15 stormboyz off the table. Even if I try to deepstrike him into safety he always gets a 10+ and scatters to his death..

DAMN YOU ZAGSTRUK

My big mek with SAG. Oh my days is he useless. I know the SAG is designed to be wacky and fail on the ocassion so it is to be expected... but he always manages to do the most ridiculous things.

Try this: Rhino filled to the brim with zerkers. I know blow up the rhino. Oh dear you teleported yourself infront of the rhino. Hello mr bezerker, please be gentle. splat.

Or on a later battle: Stupid jac thinks, ill stick him next to a unit of lootas and have a fun old dakka-fest up on a hill away from the action. Oooh lets shoots some humies over there. Oh poo you have malfunctioned your weapon and poned half the lootas and yourself , never mind.

To be fair my Big Mek's failings are often due to my own tactical failings but hes still a bit of comic relief in the army. And i spent so long painting him il be damned if i wont field him!

Hmm?

If your BS is really high, you often get a second roll. For instance, if you're BS6 you hit on 2's, but if you miss you roll again and can hit on 6's. If you're BS8 that second roll would be hitting on 4's. At least that's the rule I'm assuming he's talking about.

Yeah but I'm pretty sure Vindicators aren't BS8. I hope not, anyway.

I'd like to retract my previous statement about models that always fail.

My Exorcist was stellar in my last game. Always rolled 5s or 6s for missiles. It obliterated most of a Command Squad that had just butchered two units of Battle Sisters, blew up a dreadnought - the resulting explosion killed a couple of Marines as well - killed off most of a Sternguard unit, and wrecked a building some pesky Scouts were hiding in, all while sitting in place thanks to being immobilized from that Dreadnought's assault cannon. Its song was finally extinguished when a Captain got in its rear armor with a plasma pistol and got off a good shot on the fifth turn.

Also, I always rolled a 3 or higher for faith points, which I barely even used, except for my Retributors, though I believe I also used one for my Repentia when they charged a tactical squad at one point. Heh, my first two turns, I completely forgot about faith points.

I'm assuming you mean Vindicare assassin, not Vindicator siege tanks? I think the assassins are, the tanks are BS3 or 4 depending on if they're a Chaos one with possession or not.

i wish my lasguns would hit/wound more often, firing 200+ each turn then getting 2 wounds and both of them saved just seems like a slap in the face
