How often in games do you have something absolutely absurd happen? Whats the funniest thing to happen to you or your opponent in a match lately?

My last match in particular had a good one. My opponent attempted to fire at my Pink Horrors with his Wraithlord only to fail his leadership test for the Changeling and torched his guardians with two templates instead. The guardians then failed the leadership and ran off the board after rolling 12" on their retreat. All in all a pretty bad stroke of luck for my friend but rather funny to think about. The guardians are sitting on the point protected by their Wraithbuddy, only to have him turn around and burn half of them to death. I could see why they ran off.

I look forward to hearing some good tales from you all.

I had a pretty funny one a couple games ago. I had a unit of 10 cultists charge a terminator and beat him down with a swarm of attacks. The visual of a rag-tag mob of cultists dragging down one of the most elite soldiers in the galaxy without losing a single man was pretty great.

Another good one was during an apocalypse game. My friend and I made a unit using all our HQ choices, dubbed the "cool guy squad". We had 2 sorcerers with gift of chaos and a lord with daemon weapon in the squad (4th edition codex). They got charged by a unit of 30 ork boyz, managed to turn one boy and the nob into spawns that killed a handful. My friend's sorcerer made 11 out of 13 armour saves, and his lord made 9 out of 10 saves. They got overwhelmed the following turn, but they fact that they even survived the initial charge was pretty impressive.

The bike squad that has my Captain in it takes a couple of casualties, rolls 11 for their leadership test, rolls 16 for their fall back distance... they're 15.5 inches from the edge.

A third of my points just gone.

My opponent was gracious enough to apologize, even though he didn't need to.

Railgun fails to kill my broodlord which in turn ate all the Tau

Been there, Chosen and Lord outflank, rolled 11 for leadership after loosing 3 guys, lost 400 points as they ran off the table edge

A lictor jumps out behind a line scout, when it gets the charge it just waves its claws round, allowing the scout to just rifle butt it in the face and kill it without even turning round.

5th edition tournament, KP mission.

I have 7 KP's. My opponent has 5. Last turn.

He aims a Rifleman at what remains of my vet squad - The sarge, along with my librarian and a chaplain, both at 1 wound each as did my best to spread out the wounds along the unit to delay casualties on the vets.

Hits 3.
Wounds all 3.
I roll 1, 1, 1 for Armour Saves.

I facedesked at the time, but now I can't help but chuckle whenever I remember.

Snapshotting a HB and ML at 3 guardsmen on a point, 3 hits, 3 1's for wounding.

Yesterday my friends cultist champion had to challenge my Ork warboss with power klaw. His attacks obviously fail and I start laughing knowing what's to come for the lowly little fella. My warboss hits all 6 of his attacks. Needs 2+ to kill the cultist.

6 ones.

Had a total ork moment.

5 nobz run in to contest an objective in the 2nd to last turn, they were reduced to just 1 in my opponents shooting phase. The nob is forced to go to ground. I tried clearing the eldar unit off the objective with a SAG it scatters right onto the nob killing him lol.

The other time you jusy gotta laugh was also against my bro inlaw. Moved 4 termis onto an objective to contest. My bro moves a wave serpent in on the last turn and out jump 6 howling banshies, they fire their pistols 5 hit 4 wound....I roll 4 1s

4 days ago : my friend's Grey Knights are about to massacre me, his 2 Stormravens having destroyed my last unit that could hit flyers (Lootas.

Suddenly, in order to keep them on the table, he decides to hover with both of them... Less than 12" away from my 2 Battlewagons with Deffrola.

I ram the first one, roll 6 hits, wreck hit... I ram the second one, roll 6 hits, wreck hit... Game over. Needless to say, the look on his face was worth a thousand dollars.

Necrons (me) versus Tyranids.

I'd lost the game, i knew it, my opponent knew it, its turn 3, most of my army is dead, and i have 1 scoring unit left (a necron lord who had been with a unit of warriors) how i got to that position, is not really important.

Throwing caution to the wind, my Necron lord charges into a hive tyrant, with the tyrant guard. MSS goes off, and the HT with his 2 boneswords stabs himself in the eye, and promptly expires, leaving the lord to get flattened by the tyrant guard.

Not one to let something like that get in his way, he picks himself up, and zeroes in on his next target, a tervigon, and sprints into combat, MSS goes off again, and the tervigon starts stabbing itself, and the warscythe adds to the bloodletting, not enough to kill it, and the next round, the tervigon flattens my lord.
He gets up again, and since he has unfinished business, he goes mano a mano with the tervigon again, and kills it. only to get buried by tyrant guard again. miraculously, it seemed to just be a flesh wound, and our intrepid lord gets up again, now turn 6, and the game all but over, the lord decides the only way to win, is to grab the main objective, and steers himself towards it, making it to the objective, he gets gunned down, but shakes off the effects and then a broodlord jumps on him, the duel goes my way, and a third tyranid gribbly decides to gouge its own eyes out and then get chopped up by a warscythe. the last stealer, obviously seeing the writing on the wall, turns tail and runs away, leaving a very battered necron lord, as the sole surviving necron, undisputable master of the battlefield, with only a pair of Fexes and a horde of gaunts charging towards him....

My guardsmen assaulted a unit of ork boyz with nobz and do to unlucky rolling on my opponets half and amazing on my side my guards win only taking two casualties

A lone guardsman defending an objective while the rest of his comrades surge towards a different one.

2 Wolf Guard Terminators appear.

Over-watch occurs, rapid firing and roll box cars.
Wounding, get a a 5 and a 6, hold my breath unable to believe my luck, and my opponent throws down snake eyes. Over-watch can be a cruel mistress.

Said guardsman has been promoted to the Company Command squad where now he manages to die almost every game, but not without honor.

Best one has to be the Shaken Falcon that rammed the Leman Russ and made both vehicles explode.

I had some of my horrors get charged by a bunch of white scars bikers.

Not only did the horrors win combat but they also ran down the bikes.

3 things come to mind

5th ed

#1 My Rhino gets blasted and my Grey Hunters are forced to disembark. My opponent disembarks his Fire Warriors in rapid fire range and mows down the squad...save one very pissed off guy.

The last grey hunter fires his bolt pistol, kills one. Assault kills two. They can't kill him. The squad breaks and runs off the board. 1 vs 12. It was a sight.

#2 6th ed
Dire Avengers have been rolling hot that game. 5 Terminators, 3 have stormshields VS 10 Dire Avenegrs.

I bladestorm 27 shots (Exarch has PW/SS).
22 hits
12 wounds
4 dead terminators.

We had a double take after that. How the hell did that happen?

#3 5th ed
Thunderwolf cavalry (3 guys with SS, 1 with TH) tore (and I mean TORE) through 2 5 man squads of Paladins in 1 turn (2 assault phase) each. They barely broke stride as they kept running around mowing everything they came across.

i had a Guardsmen squad and i got Charged by Terminators who killed all but 1 and he rolled Double 1's on his leader ship * facepalm* and he proceded to kill 4/5 Terminators with his Pistol and Chainsword........he died well

BLESSED BY THE DARK GODS!

Seeing my command squad and captain getting killed of by an avatar, safe for the blood novice guy.
He killed the beastie.

Oh 1 more.

My Chaos lord advancing on 3 guardsment to clean an objective, all 3 had lasguns, 1 sgt.

I assault, roll a 1 for my daemon weapon, the guardsmen inflict 2 wounds, both unsaved.

I was less than impressed.

Not as impressive, but never the less:
Had a squad of six stealth suits shoot at a grot gunner group. (6 Burst cannons, 2 Fusion guns) Out of the 20 shots, I only kill one grot. Ok, fine. Let's assault (with TAU?!) 6 stealth suits vs 9 grots. I kill 2 grots in combat, the grots kill 4 of the suits. I proceed to fail leadership with an 11 and get run down.
Moral of the story: Bovine-fish aliens hit like little girls.

So I played 2 small games, not much happen on my 2nd one, but on the first, my oppon ent who was Tau dropped his two drones from his devilfish that was in dangerous (difficult?) terrain, both drones promptly exploded.

10 man termie squad with attached librarian HQ scatters on deep strike 12 inches to clip terrain. I then proceed to roll a 1 on the deep trike mishap table. Goodby 600 points out of my 1850 list. My opponent offered to let me reroll but I refused. I almost beat him 600 points down and that felt better than a win due to my opponent allowing me to reroll.

5 paladins assault an squad of 20 orks on an objective, the orks overwatch. 5 dead paladins.

So I stop my Land Raider right in front of a juicy squad of Fire Warriors during a 5th ed game. Out pours Khorne's chosen, the Khorne Berzerkers, led by a vicious Chaos Lord armed with Bloodfeeder.

They pour shot after shot of bolt pistol fire into the Tau ranks before charging them. I roll for Bloodfeeder's attacks - two 1s! The Chaos Lord, who had already lost a wound, is killed.

The 9 Khorne Berzerkers roll for hits in close combat - a pile of 1s and 2s. All missed! That's like 37 fails!

In response, the Fire Warriors roll all 5s and 6s for both hit rolls and wound rolls.

At the end of the combat, there were 10 dead Khorne followers and 10 very very lucky Fire Warriors.

(This was with Oldcrons) Opponent uses his kroot to more or less bubble wrap the board for outflanking denial. Turn 1 My Necron Lord uses Nightmare Shroud on the kroot on one table edge and they fail their test. For the remainder of the game, like a bunch of lemmings, they ran back towards their table edge only to throw themselves off said edge in a single file line. T'was a beautiful sight that would have made the Pied Piper proud.

Squad of 11 ork boyz and a nob hop out of a truck and get ready to charge a squad of 5 terminators, but decide to shoot the terminators with their pistols. Kill 3, the other two run away...

Back when I used to play in 2nd editon, we're talking somewhere between 94-96, I played in my first tounement. My first opponent puts his Ork Warlord right up in front, and this is in the days where you could have an unmodified save and your regular armor save. My war walker fires its lascannon right at him, hits, wounds and does 12 wounds. He was not happy.

Oldie but a goodie. Back in the day IG tanks could take an upgrade called Crew Escape Mechanism (or something like that) which granted the IG player D3 basic IG when their tank blew up. My 5 man termie squad blows up a Leman Russ only to have 3 pissed IG come out kill 3 with laspistol shots then assault and kill the other 2 termies. It was so hilarious I didn't mind losing the models.

My first 5 games of 40k using my black reach captain. Every game (due to my inexperience and bad strategy) he always ended up close to my own board edge and failing combat. He ran off the board every game. Forever after I named him Captain Nike, and as soon as my freehand is good enough I am going to paint the swoosh on his shoulderplate to honour his prowess at running fast. :-)

D'oh! Been there done that...

years ago using the Alaitoc craftworld list against a Monstrous creature tyranid list and all I needed at the bottom of the last turn was to kill a Carnifex with it's last wound remaining

one squad of Pathfinders left to shoot who needed 2+ to hit 4+ for AP:1 and then 4+ to wound.....I said yeah I got this watch them Finders work their magic!

roll the 5 dice...1 1 1 1 1...... ....that's my eyes twitching

On the receiving end of a blood lance about 10 inch away

He rolled 4 ones.

Everyone in the room proceeded to face palm.

Can't be run down. ATSKNF

Went to War masters in Kitchener last month, round three or so was the best game I've had since I picked up the hobby. I ran Elder and my teammate ran wolves. Opponents were Blood Angels and GK.

GK brought a Dreadknight, Paladins and Draigo. Forget what the BA player had as the wolves mostly held them across the table from me.

Had all pathfinders for troops, one relic objective, Draigo and the Dreadknight book for it. My wolf rhino gets wrecked just past a ruin near the table center, limiting my firing lane to about an inch wide.

At this point I had been picking off pally's and the DK is occupied with Bjorn in an epic brawl, in which he rips off Bjorn's arm and gets beat anyway IIRC. Anywho, I have to reposition the pathfinders because Draigo is down to a single wound and is making off with the objective on turn 5, meaning I have to cut across difficult terrain to do so.

Two guys have line of sight. Both fire, both roll fives. Roll to wound, and two sixes. Two shots at AP1 and rending. I shake my head fully expecting the invul save to carry the day, but I believe he rolled two ones. Both shots take him, Draigo is down, my opponent high fives me over the table.

My favorite moment was when my normal squad of IG made it to the middle objective on the board killed 3 of my opponents necrons(things with the shields.. i dunno) that were also camping on the objective enter close combat (turn 4)... lose it by three and manage to pass leadership (turn 5 starts, then the other guy on his team (it was a doubles match ) charges in with regular Sm bolter marines kills two IG then the necrons kill another 3 of my men and i have 2 guys left... they roll double 1 on their leadership test and the game ends in a draw

I had a Die that landed, and stayed, on its point, I wish the guy would email me the pick.
Also, turn 1, telion taking out a rhino with one shot.

One of my friends put a vondicator pie plate on top of a tact squad that had just come out of a rhino, the whole squad would habe died.
But the emperor was with me, and he scattered the back onto his vindicator and proceeded to explode his own tank.

On an other note, I've played my land raider a dozen time now, and it has exploded, not wreck, not survive, exploded in every single one of my games

Back in fifth edition:

Before I purchased my own 'Crons, I proxied a lot of stuff in using a friend's models. This was back before the new Necron 'Dex released. I had a Monolith threatening lots of his stuff, next turn he would start eating gauss fire. On his turn, he shoots at me with a Whirlwind. Six to hit, six to penetrate, boom. I was not happy.

I got revenge, though. A few months later, I had finally purchased my own stuff (after the 'Cron dex hit). Shot his Land Raider with a Doomsday Ark. Bullseye, six to pen, six on the vehicle damage table. On turn one. He was not happy.

More recently, in sixth:

Fighting against another friend's Nids. I coast my Doom Scythe up to his Trygon. Death Ray puts a wound on him, then I shoot him up with the Tesla Destructor. The Tesla Destructor puts another two or three Wounds on him. Then the shot arced. Back onto my Doom Scythe. D6 S6, AP- hits. 6 hits, three of which Penetrate my AV 11 Flier. Adding insult to injury, the 'Crash and Burn' blast of death scatters in such a way as to not hit any of his units.

Of course, his Trygon then died trying to assault my Deathmarks.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm lets see.... currently my personal favorite is my Rhino being a bawse, how you ask? It's was an epic fight, my homebrew chapter of space marine versus the grey knights (not draigowing, but draigo) and EVERYTHING DIED, except for his draigo and my Rhino, minus a stormbolter, it's my turn, and I figure, "If I'm going down like this, i might as well make him death of glory".... what ended up is i run my rhino at LAWRD DRAIGO and guess what his roll is~ boxcars baby! followed up by another set of boxcars, to further add insult to injury, leaving my Rhino the sole model on the board that's alive.....


Second up and my absolute favorite thing about my tau...... I took his armies worth of shooting, on a single drone, with a 2+ armor and feel no pain..... AND IT DIDN'T DIE..... I still lost but the look on everyones face was priceless..... Drone got promoted to remora drone now~

Killing a land raider with one haywire grenade.

I felt good about doing it to a kid who regularly cheats with his list.

A funny moment I had in a game was where I was playing one of those special games in the rulebook (250-400 points) it was my necrons vs chaos. My necrons were doing what they do which was shoot the crap out of the Khorne Beserkers charging me from across the board with my necron overlord keeping the Chaos Lord busy.... not really...

As he got closer he kept his 'Serkers in cover, he went to move one of the models forward to charge but ended up knocking the model over, butttt the model front flipped up and landed perfect. So we joked that the Khorne Beserker was in cover then dove and rolled up to charge the Necron Warrior.

This happened a while back in 5th (IG vs IG)

I had a regular guard squad with a meltagun ride in my vendetta (sent my vets walking for some reason). First of all my devildog scattered 12" onto my vendetta - destroying it. About half of the squad and the meltaguy survived the following crash. They later came under enemy fire and lost more souls. Only the meltaguy survived. But he ran, oh how he ran. Managing 3 turns of 4-6" runmoves, go to ground cover saves on open field and Ld checks for Get back in the fight. On his last turn alive he blew up a basilisk, killing 8 additional guardsmen in the blast (he himself survived that to). Not until he faced the full wrath of an primaris psyker did my hero fall. (oh right, my devildog succeeded another 12" scatter, onto itself)

I have never, ever, seen a single guardsman do such a difference in all my years of wargaming. Considering that the rest of my force behaved like a bag of slowed snotlings, that lone meltaguy made my day. (And much frustration to my opponent)

But I also remember a Apocalypse game where the opposing teams shadowsword became immobilized in a very unforgiving direction. Its only target? A lone guard Sarge. (There is no kill like overkill)

I just remembered another one. This is 5th:
My Tau are getting chewed up by Chaos Marines. His Nurgle DP (with no wounds) charges my one remaining suit in the top of turn 3.
They spend the next 5 turns (5 assaults, 2.5 full turns) trading blows. The suit makes AT LEAST 15 IS. I whittle the DP down causing a wound about every other turn. I finally kill it in the bottom of turn 5, ending the game with just that suit and a HH remaining.
Obviously, that suit has been promoted to my new Shas'O.
Gore for the Greater Good!

5th ed. right before 6th.

My Eviscerator priest and 6 Guardsmen (remaining of squad) charge through difficult terrain (basically a low building, they jumped off of the roof which was basically the height of a 1 and a 1/2Guardsman) into assault. Overwatch kills 4 Guardsmen, in assault I only nab 2 Fire Warriors/ my lot are killed by the rest of the Tau, who load up into their Devilfish and proceed to troll the rest of my guys for the rest of the game, lol

Lately?

Astrubel Vect being shot to death by a grot firing squad.

I play Orks, so i tend to have fun moments galore..

Question on this one...

How on earth does the Whirlwind Penetrate an AV 14 Monolith in the first place?

The Whirlwind can only fire a max Str of 5, so the best it could ever get for penetration would be an 11.

You would need at least S 9 to Pen a Monolith in 5th.

I'm going to guess he means Cyclone missile launcher rather than Whirlwind, and that the marines in this case were Black Templars who could take Tank Hunter and thus penetrate off S8.

Could be.

6th edition:

The anti-aircraft haywire grenades. Casualty list thus far : 2 stormravens and 1 vendetta.

5th edition:

The unstoppable Raider.

I was playing a game against a BA player with two land-raiders, razorbacks and some predators. I had a few points leftover in that list so I threw the enhanced aethersails on one of my raiders in addition to my 'mandatory' upgrades of shock prow and flickerfield. I'd planned to play the game seriously, but after deployment I had a change of heart and decided to feth around. So I disembarked the raider's passengers onto my home objective to hunker down, and rocketed that Raider across the board and right into the front armor of his first land raider. Build up more than enough momentum for a strength 10 hit, penetrate and a wrecked result. My opponent rolled a 1 on his attempt to puncture my raider's armor, which, thanks to D3 extra front armor, didn't do squat.

Next turn, he moves his tanks closer to the raider (to prevent me from building up speed) and opens fire on everything but the raider that just wrecked a huge portion of his list. It got a few token shots and assaulted by the land raider's contents, but failed to do any damage other than shaking it. My turn, the Raider zooms back into my deployment zone and out of LoS. I wrung my hands and began darkly eying that other Land Raider. Our armies exchanged more gunfire and Wracks clashed with assault marines in close combat until my third turn rolled around. Out from the ruins exploded the unstoppable rocket-raider, its prow spitting lightning that charred the earth in its wake. With engines at full and its sails catching a powerful tail wind, the Raider smashed into the Land Raider's side armor and split it open with a titanic explosion. This time, the strength 10 hit did puncture the Raider's hull.

Only for the damage to be warded off by the vehicle's flickerfield.

It was beautiful. My opponent then chose to dedicate a stupid amount of firepower to making sure that Raider didn't make it home, and succeeded only in immobilizing the thing. At which point it became an impenetrable bunker, suffering stunned and shaken results ad infinitum but never going up in smoke. Survived all the way 'till the end of the game. I could not stop laughing as I picked the model up off the table and my opponent glared at it balefully.

Another oldie. The very first time I faced a Land Raider in combat it was before the plastic ones came out. It was that old funky triangle one they use to have. My opponent was very proud of his shiny new tank and couldn't wait to just slaughter my vehicles with it's lascannons. Turn 1 my Rhino shoots it with an HKM. 3 consecutive 6s lol. To this day I still ALWAYS take HKM on every vehicle I can.

It's possible I'm misremembering names. It was some long-range tank, anyway.

Probably when an imperial guardsmen killed an un-wounded Fateweaver in assault.

It is still talked about over 1 year later........

Another one, from late 5th.

My SAG-big mek accidentally shooting himself into Mephiston, who then proceeds to fail to kill him due to cybork body and crappy rolling.

The Big Mek then obliterates him with his Power Klaw...


If you want the job done properly...

my funniest moment was actually when I had to quit a game early because we ran over time and I had to get to a haircut. I told the guys I had to go and started packing up my necrons, and a real old salt who gave me my demo game said: "well I guess they're the old necrons." that started a hilarious conversation in which it was decided that my necrons were a scout force watching the other kill teams duke it out, and when they got shot they ran away. you had to be there but it was hilarious.

Can't be run down. ATSKNF

in 5th you took fearless wounds

Lately, I literally attacked my friends Tigurius with over 1400 points of IG, and he survived nearly every attack, only taking a single wound. Thats when we figured I was the worst dice roller of the group. My friend then said "Welcome to the Imperial Guard!" after he had survived dozens of lasgun shots.

mowing down a chaos sergent (or whatever they are called.) who wanted to melee a squad of my guardsmen with a hail of lasbolts.
same squad blasted choas lord to death that had previously survived multiple heavy bolter/battlecannon/railgun shots.

Shot one of thoe heldrake things (new chaos flyer) out of the sky with my command squads melta and plasma guns, when my ally (another player GK/Tau) failed to kill it with railguns and my hydras only managed 1 hull point because of the demon save.

Executioner tank killed 4 seperate vehicles with 5 of its plasma shots going wild (executioner cannon and sponsons). killed 2 rhinos and 2 razorbacks.

vaproizing creed from the opposite side of the board with my Shadowsword... only his boots were left...

Hydras told a fleet of Dakka jets to off and blasted them all out of the sky in 1 go. every shot hit. every shot penned.

Droping a Vortex missile on that GK guy who "gets back up" and the ensuing argument of it he is removed from play or "gets back up".

I was playing a 2v2 of Space Marines and Dark Eldar vs. Blood Angels and Space Wolves. We'd decided to play with Archeotech, for the lulz.

Through the cover of ruins, my Rune Priest survived an onslaught of shots, taking 1 wound in the process. The DE player leveled blasters at me and missed.

My partner moves up the archeotech at my urging, rolls on the table, and gets the result with hits all psykers on the field with a pretty low strength hit. I rolled the check and failed.

Through 20 some odd shots, some removing his armor save, the Rune Priest survives against the odds only to be killed by his battle brothers in a freak psychic accident.

I'm having trouble remembering if I had 32 or 28 Deathwing Terminators, but I was playing an Imp army and I had deep struck Belial and friends (all with thunder hammers and storm shields and one assault cannon) in front of a full guard squad, killed 4 with the assault cannon. They pass leadership, fired back with 6 double tapping lasguns, all hit and all wounded.

I rolled 10 1's.

I lost 19% or 21% of my army to flash lights.

I eeked out a win by 1 kill point, but I was sweating bullets the whole game.

Well technically this was my friend but its hilarious.
He was playing a Tau vs DE game (he was Tau) and he had named a FW sergeant (equivalent) Tom. Tom was the last warrior alive and then proceeded to wound that DE commander guy with the 2++ rerolls thing, removing his save and basically winning the game for Him. Oh yeah, he survived all of the dudes attacks first...

back in 5th when there were fearless wounds I charged an archon and 5 incubi(separate units) into Logan and 4 terminators(same unit). Logan had taken a wound before so he had 2 left
My archon got into combat with Logan while the incubi got the termites.

My archon wiffed completely and then the incubi struck simo with logan. Logan's strikes were saved by the shadowfield and 5 incubi only managed to kill 2 termiators. The 2 terminators then managed to do 3 wounds to the incubi, shreding them nicely. Archon passed his break test incubi do not. Incubi run.
I thought I was doomed and so did my opponent. The next turn he did not engage with anything else going instead after other targets(like running down the incubi).

When combat came around the archon put down 3 wounds on logan killing him. The terminators then strike at the archon but again is saved by his shadowfield. Termiators fail their break test, get caught and take 2 fearless wounds because they lost by 2. Termite armor to the rescue? Nope double ones! Archon is then alive and unengaged at the start of my turn with a bunch of pain tokens

My amazing Dreadnought of doom he carries a twin-linked lascannon but he has claimed 6 flyer kills in 6th to the point that our local blood angels player places his storm raven trying to keep out of his line of sight.

I got a couple of things, (all in 5th).

First, back in the old days of crons, i had one destroyer left in a three way game (ignoring phase out). One guy is holding an uncontested ubjective, while contesting the other guys objective. The last objective is out of reach from anyone. The other two, not seeing me as a threat, ignored me, the guy with the objective absolutely confident in his victory. One last turn, turbo-boost onto edge of objective and a great troll face later, bam, 3 way draw. The looks on their faces were great.

Secondly when i got my new crons, i had an apocalypse game of 'try everything' at 4000 gainst eldar and dark eldar (same guys). Many things happened in that game, warriors repelling whyches and harlequins combined charge, 3 scarabs defeating incubi in combat, but some things stand out. For example, by chronometron cryptek, with imotekh, attacks the shadowfield archon that had charged wiht a beefy unit of wyches. A lucky hit, wound, and unlucky one later, and all of a sudden, ws1 bs1 I1 etc 4+ save model. Hilarious, and will probably never happen again :*(.
Lastly, one of my greatest moments (same game). My C'tan charges a wraithlord, the only thing threating combat wise in the area, (dire avengers sitting on an objective and a raider with warriors around). Unfortunately, mr C'tan was wounded, and was bought down by the wraithlord, but not after he had been reduced to 1 wound. My C'tan blows up in his face, killing him. But it gets worse. He also kills a couple of dire avengers, but more importantly, manages to actually blow up the nearby raider. This kills some more dire avengers and some warriors. Both squads break and run...off the board. Not only that, but the other side lose the objective they really needed. Really, really funny.

And from that day, the C'tan was known as Boris

My SM scout sniper squad has killed more vehicles than infantry, claiming several land speeders, rhinos, piranhas, and in my last game, a razorwing jetfighter.

Watching my GK pallys getting getting sweet revenge against my mates Ork nobs after they had slaughtered my purifiers

5th edition.

my friend shoots at my trukk with and gets 3 hits. gets 3 pens. rolls 3 ones on the damage chart. my truck still explodes because they were AP-1 shots. he was about to rage quit when i told him the thing still went boom. (specifically weapon destroyed, weapon destroyed again, no weapons moves to immobile, third weapon destroyed moves to immobile, moves to wreck) and then my ramshackle roll is Kaboom.

Saw a Chaos Sorcerer 3rd ed turn Marneus Calgar into a rock (spawn but you didn't get the model back then)...so much for being an all-powerful bad-a!

5th edition. 3-way duel on a hill between Azkellon the Sangunior, Lucius the Eternal, and Bob the Generic Oldcron Lord. Sanguinor and Lucius go at the same time, Lucius takes 2 wounds off the lord, Sanguinor blasts Lucius to hell. Lord swings and wiffs, sanguinor isleft untouched. Sanguinor expects to headbutt the lord to death, but fails so miserably that I feel the need to apologize for his derp, 5 1's. Lord attacks with his Warscythe and kills the sanguinor. Model hasn't been used since

3 things

Early 5th edition, running 3 killkannons. I fire all three an terminators about to be charged by 30 boys. Scatters. All 3 templates land on the boys. After about a million 1s rolled, all that's left is a confused shoota boy.

Middle 5th edition. Have 4 Gretchen after bolter fire eats 25 and the slaver. Charge chapter master and 5 man honor guard squad. Stopped them from Destroying my nobz.

6th edition, be playing SPES MEHREENS. Rhinos and a land raider. Opponent has 3 BW and a ton of trukks. Rhinos get rammed. 3 trukks hit front and sides of LR. BW goes full speed down a road and hits the back of the land raider. All 5 vehicles explode.

6'th edition.

A squad of Hormagaunts are charging at squad of Fire Warriors with Eldrad. After the Assault Phase none Fire Warrior was killed and all Hormagaunts were destroyed.

10 man Vet Guard Squad with plasma jump outa a Vendetta, Start opening up on a Swarm lord with all his puppies. Roled 4 wounds on the plasma and killed 2 puppies. then open up with the Laz guns just hinking nothing would happen roled 12 hits and 10 6's to wound. killed the swarm lord and his last puppie with flash lights. he quit after that

SM vs CSM. Someone got a shot in on the Land Raider (using a Flashbang to simulate). Land Raider exploded. So the guy reached in the pulled out the pin to the flashbang..

Playing an apocolypse game, Tyranid vs Imperial guard. My swarm of gargoyles and flyrant are slaughtered by a baneblade, leaves one gargoyle alive. My friend had about ten or eleven tanks in range, four quad guns, five snipers and two basilisks.
They all whiffed and missed completely. He tried everything to hit this one surviving gargoyle and could not for the life of him hit the damn thing. Most of his shooting he wastes on one 6 pt creature and it survives. It doesn't do anything the rest of the game but still, for all his firepower, he just could not seem to hit the bastard.

A number of years ago, when the Tyranids were still relatively new, I was playing Space Marine and my friend was playing Tyranids. He charges my unit of five Terminators with his Genestealers. I kill one Genestealer... none of my Terminators survive. Let's just say that was enough to convince me not to use Terminators for awhile...

Teaching some local friends to play... have a number of humorous stories from 5th ed:
1) My friend fields a SR for the first time. Loads it up with Tac Marines. He's so excited to use it that he charges it straight at my Ork mob One lucky Kannon shot later his SR is a smoking crater in the ground and my mob assaults his Marines and slaughters them. He's out 400 points in just one turn - the expression on his face was priceless

2) Similar situation... friend buys a Librarian, is excited about using it for the first time. We end up teaching another friend how to play. She plays a SM army, and moves up a TL Lascannon-equipped Dreadnought to shoot his LR. He's using a GK LR full of Termies, with a Librarian tailing it (rookie mistake). He charges the LR up the throat of my Ork mob, thinking that she'll try to shoot the LR as the Dreadnought is the only thing she has that can penetrate it. He moves the Librarian close enough behind the LR that he thinks no one will be able to shoot it. He laughs about getting to use the Librarian to devastating effect against my Orks next turn. Her turn, the Dreadnought shifts it's position so it can see the Librarian and fires the TL Lascannon at the Librarian. She misses and he laughs, promising her all kinds of vengeance for trying to shoot his HQ. I remind her that TL weapons allow a re-roll, so she rolls again, hits and passes the s/t roll. Boasting about the invulnerable save, he rolls and promptly comes up with a . One Librarian now insta-gibbed! We still laugh about the crestfallen look on his face when he said "I didn't even get to use him..."

3) "The Great Genestealer Shoot-Out of 2012." Four of us are playing: me with Orks (again), a friend with SMs, another friend with Tyranids, and the last with the GKs. The Tyranid player sends his HT and Warriors towards me, while his GS lurk their way towards the SMs. I manage to bog down the HT with Ork mobs while my Deffkoptas eventually ace his Warriors. My friend's fiancee pages him and says she's on his way over. He tells us, "ok, one more turn and then I need to go." He charges his Genestealers in one long line towards the SM's position, intending to overwhelm them the following turn. During the GK player's turn, he simply smiles and says "why wait that long?" Opens fire with GK Termies equipped with Storm Bolters and two Psycannons, taking out the entire line of 10+ Genestealers and Brood Lord with one volley.

6th ed:
The GK player regularly fields a Paladin unit that has given us fits. We've all done our best to take out the Pallys, but usually end up only denting their armor. We've essentially just learned to play "keep away from the Pallys" and just go for the objectives.

So one day, we decide to test out a combination of 6th ed and Armageddon rules in order to allow a friend to try out a new Stormblade he built. We end up setting up the table so all players are 36 inches away from each other. I'm on one side, fielding a SM army and he fields an IG army. On his other side is the GK-loving player. The GK player decides to field a Draigowing. Sensing what was coming, I spread my army out through my deployment zone. The GK player laughs at me and says "what for?", clustering his Draigowing together

The IG player goes first, and turns his Stormblade turret towards the Draigowing, firing a blastgun volley. He places the blast marker directly on Draigo and nails the scatter roll. Half the Pallys were insta-gibbed. Round two, the Stormblade finishes the job of wiping out the Pallys. We all look at each other shocked, and then the IG player and I burst out laughing while the GK player gives off a very loud

Playing death watch count? l

On my space wolf tech marine i keg punched an ork and he exploded and crashed into all the orks on the way down the bastion.

regular games

I destroyed a chaos tank with one fleeing nob. when they tank shocked him.

I killed fate-weaver in the 2nd turn man was i happy its slightly more funny considering how much my brother told me i was screwed fighting him with tau.

Triple stacking wrecked Leman Russes > Then shooting at the entire map because I had an EXCELLENT vantage point

GET OFF MY OBJECTIVE, GRIBBLIES!!!

3 moments spring to my mind.

My Daemons Vs. IG.

Game is going pretty well for me my army was all over him than a pivotal moment came. A single fleeing guardsman turned around and took a pot shot at Fateweaver. Hit, wound, failed first save, failed second save and finally failed my LD test. Hadn't taken a single wound yet but ran off the board when he got hurt by a single guardsman. I couldn't help but laugh as the rest of my army started to crumble.

Ork Vs. Eldar

I'm getting absolutely stomped, towards the end of the game all I had left was a SAG and a few lootas with not even a single destroyed unit in my opponents army and he is closing in on me. I make on last stand and take shots at his Avatar, lootas whiff their shots but the SAG rolled , than got a bullseye on the scatter. I may have gotten tabled that day but in my mind the victory was still mine.

Sisters Vs. Tau

I went up against what I believe is called the Farsight Bomb. They did exactly what you would expect them to, jumped in and utterly devestated my own deathstar of Jacobus and the Battle conclave. Luckily my sole surviving Crusader managed to survive long enough to allow Saint Celestine to get back up and charge right in. She managed to win combat for me by dealing a single wound. The Tau then failed their LD test and their initiative test. Celestine ran down and killed what was probably a third to half of their army.

This was from around the time the 3.5 ed chaos codex (I think) dropped. Our resident chaos player, with his brand new daemon prince, let us convince him that daemon princes couldn't take daemonic gifts (like immunity to ID). Anyway, the T5 prince jumps out of the warp and immediately takes a railgun slug to the face.
Another good one had our daemonhunter player vaporising the last models on the board (his own models) with his orbital bombardment after a marathon game.

A few weekends ago my roommate and I played a 1500 point game. My Orks vs his Daemons.

One of my Kans blasts his grotzooka at a group of daemons.... only to have the zooka backfire and blast backwards into the rear armour of another Kan.

Vehicle Explodes.

Having a furioso dread with blood talons being charged by a large mob of orks with warlord with power klaw and nob with power klaw, fluffed all my attacks, was hoping to chew through a few boys. His warlord attacks, hits and pens with 2 attacks, he says he hopes for 6's, rolls two 6's on the vehicle damage table, I then say roll d6 for explosion range,he says he forgets about that, rolls a 5. I roll impressively for wounding and at the end the 30 boy squad is down 12 boys, that was fun

I was learning how to play, and my FLGS had a Demo Game for me using the Black Reach set. I played Orks, the staff member played Spess Mahreens (by my call, I wanted to try Orks). To make a long story short...overwatch (this was in 6th but we used the 5th starter set as they hadn't made the DV set up yet)...

I charged his Tac Squad with the captain in it, and a flamer. Full squad of Ork Boyz. Bolter overwatch. I believe 10 rolls to hit...10 6's...followed by 10 6's.....okay so Boyz gone, I charge the same squad with my Nobz and Warboss. The Space Marines in assault bring every single model down to 1 wound and even kill 2 nobs. I miss. Every hit. They fail leadership, and flee just to be cut down by the same squad in the later turn...

#1 5 Warriors holding up a a full powered Archon for 3 turns before killing him
#2 Vargard Obyron walks across the board, eventually gets shot down by 2 turns worth of Tau fire, gets back up, destroys a Devilfish, 3 Crisis Battlesuits, then, as he stands in the open, my opponent realises he had spent all his shooting on Vargard and allowed my whole army to advance unscathed..... hehehee

A lone Conscript killed 4 chaos marines, then assaulted a squad of chaos terminators and killed 2! Never underestimate Catachan conscripts.

Thunderwolf tripped over a fence, fell on his face and died.

My Space Wolves vs. my buddy's Blood Angels. He had a tac squad behind an Aegis Defense Line. I had a lone Thunderwolf Cavalry with one wound left. He tried to charge the squad, rolled a 1 for difficult terrain, then failed his 3++ armour save.

Another one from a tournament actually. I had my Deathwing he had horde guard.

I land my terminators right in front of his manticore no scatter he turns to shoot me but uses his demolisher cannon. Scatter onto his manticore killing it. with that gone the rest of my boys smash through his flank.

Back in fifth ed i charged a bloodthirster into a commissar lord with a fist, i fluff he does three wounds and i fail two armour saves for fearless still won the game though!

All back in 5th:

Lictor charged 6 of my FWs at the top of a ruin, killed 1, took a wound return, killed another, and got beaten down. I imagine one of the FWs jamming his Pulse Rifle in its feeder tendrils, jumping and kicking it off the edge martial arts-style.

6 Harlies charge 10 FWs, the Harlies kill 1 on the charge, the remaining FWs enrage and beat all 6 of the clowns down in return.

Crisis Suit watched his buddy Multi-melta'd by the old Throne of Judgement, charged it, and held it up in combat for the rest of the game, even manging to cause a wound by punching Karazamov in the face.

A large blob of Guardsmen deep-strikes behind my lines, and rapid fires a crisis suit down, my hammerhead turns its railgun and nukes almost all of them with a submunition shot.

My Daemon Prince turns a kitted-up Tau Commander into a Chaos Spawn, which charges the Hammerhead behind it and blows it up, and leaves him with just 2 FW squads left at the top of turn 2.

My Daemon Prince turns an old DE Archon with Shadowfield into a spawn, after the DE player remarked on how he was next to unkillable due to the Shadowfield.

My Wave Serpent rams a Dreadnought and immobilises it, but blows up in return. I imagine the Wave Serpent removing the lower half of its body and having the sarcophagus fall onto the cockpit.

2 Terminators + Abby charge a Razorback containing a Chapter Master and his honour guard. It explodes, and kills both terminators.

Aforementioned CM + HG charge Khârn + Berzerkers and Abby (we had no idea how multiple charges worked, this was an early game of WH for me). The honour guard gets slaughtered, and the CM goes down to a wound. Khârn and his Berzerkers (seperate from Abby) elect to Sweep, catch the CM, and he promptly fails his Fearless save as I assume he simply has a heart attack.


There are probably a few more, but I can't remember them at the moment.

Or there was the time I was messing with a 5e Inquisition fandex to see what would happen, a Necron Warrior squad wrecked a Land Raider, a Monolith particle-whipped the squad that had to escape from it killing an entire Deathwatch command squad, captain, and an Inquisitor except for one random Deathwatch dude with a power weapon, who then proceeded to survive a squad of Destroyers shooting at him, charged them, and killed them all.

One of the funniest things I remember was back in 5th Edition. My friend was playing his Chaos Marines and decided to try using his Chaos Dreadnought....Well, on turn one his Dread flipped out, and destroyed his Land Raider filled with Khorne Berzerkers.

...Lets just say he never used a Chaos Dread again

A few weeks ago, I was playing a friendly game against a pair of guard players and I had a Vanilla marine player as my ally. 750 points per player. Our armies were annihilated except for the Emperor's Champion, running around all by his lonesome. He then proceeds to hack his way through 55 Guardsmen, a Leman Russ and a Primaris Psyker. He won the game for me. No one believed what they were seeing, The EC was impervious to harm as well. The game ended with the Champion standing before a lone guardsman.

I was playing my buddies eldar space marine list and he had a bastion which had , a librarian a farseer which was his warlord and a devastator squad in there. i deep strike my termies in behind the bastion and assaulted it the next turn and power fisted it with five terimes and had 5 pens and i rolled 3 sixes which meet it was destroyed and the only that was left was the librarian. nothing that was in the bastion never had a chance to kill anything. when it happened he was laughing his butt off cause of the all the point s he had in the bastion

My SM last ditch attempt to dislodge a devastator squad in CC, getting over-watched by the melta gunner....

One more mention: my Triarch Stalker has killed a good few models, but the two that stand out are Vulkan and Feugan, who both died to the multi-melta firing mode of the heat ray. Who is the melta-king now, bitches?

I've had all my plasma weapons in my SM army get hot in one turn, and I failed all the saving throws.

I also lost a Predator, Rhino, and Dreadnought in the first turn's shooting phase against Eldar. I get my turn, and I'm already down roughly 400 points, with a melee heavy infantry blob that's got a loooong walk across the table. Remember the final Confederate charge in Gettysburg? Kinda went like that. Most epic gak-kicking I've ever been on the receiving end of.

My buddy and I were getting ready to play an impromptu 2v2 game against a couple guys at our flgs. We were BA and nids, they were tau and SW. As they were setting up my buddy and I stepped back to talk strategy. After a seconds thought he says "Balls to the wall. Lets just go straight at them." Possibly the funniest thing ever. Now whenever we try to strategize our first comment is 'balls to the wall'.

A Swooping Daemon Prince went through an entire round of shooting from the majority of my SW army and only took one wound. Next turn, it jumps forwards and assault some Long Fangs. I overwatch with four missiles. Four 6's, four wounds, 3 failed saves, Daemon Prince go bye-bye

I remember laughing my ass off when my Big Mek sucked himself into the Warp in his first game.

2 SAG meks on a skyshield pad, surrounded by Lootas.

Both roll snake eyes and foomph, empty skyshield

Other than having Marneus Calgar sucked into the warp during a deep strike mishap...

I've had a 9 turn standoff between a grey knight tech marine and a lone space marine Tactical marine Sargent, in which the Sargent actually won and I wound up tabling greyknights in an absurd match at my FLGS.

I've had Captain Siccarius get turned into a chaos spawn turn one.

This just happened to me in a game that ended only an hour ago. 2 vs. 2 consisting of Tau and Tau w/ Eldar allies against CSM and C:SM.
I really just want to point out that the combined ages of the armies is like 13 vs 4.

A buddy and me were the Tau players and the Chaos player is fairly new, his last army being Necrons, and Grey Knights before that. C:SM guy was cool.

Tau go first and the very first shots fired was against a flying lvl3 demon prince with the dark mace. Marker lights force it to ground and one railgun instant kills it. (It does not get better for them from here)

Their turn one is highlighted by a Master of the Forge assaulting a unit of 8 firewarriors and getting killed off by pulse rifle shots.

By turn 3 we killed off an obliterator, two units of stern guard, three dreads, and a deep striking Termie squad.

At this point we had lost 4 suits, 12 firewarriors, and one tetra.

But the highlight to the whole game is the sheer amount of butt frustration from the chaos player. "Chaos got so nerfed!" "Demon princes are so worthless!" "I'll never play against Tau and Eldar again, way too overpowered!"

By far the most hilarious game I've ever played against a codex hopper.

Last round of combat and my Emperors champion and a vindicator without a demolisher cannon (Weapon destroyed) are all that remains of my army.
The Enemy has a squad of howling banshees and a squad of 3 guardians left.

Knowing that I had no chance of winning my champion charges the guardians and kills all of them without taking a wound.
My gunless Vindicator tank-shocks the remaining banshees, they fail their moral test and run away (Not before failing a 'death or glory test' and reducing the squad to 4 models. The squad then continues run straight off of the board.

Either that or turning Eldard Uthran into a mindless spawn with my Sorcerer's 'Gift of Chaos' power

I've never heard anyone complain about my Tau army so much.

A few weeks back I was playing against a vanilla marines army with my Salamanders, and I had a tactical squad drop pod in and combat squad, with the sergeant and 4 bolter marines.
The combat squad rapid fires on a five man squad and kills them all, then in the following turn the combat squad is killed to the sergeant, who then runs across the board in an attempt to prevent giving a kill point. The sergeant runs across a Razorback containing a Captain and a combat squad, plants a melta bomb on it and explodes it, killing 3 men .
The sergeant survived that game, and has managed to survive seeming impossible odds in other games such as facing down a rail rifle toting squad of pathfinders and surviving, and destroying vehicles with Krak grenades all on his own, leading me to believe he's the Master Chief of 40k (Green, Mean and stupidly lucky )

Also, Wraithlord rolling 6 on a toughness test and turning into a chaos spawn.

Another funny thing that happened to me. i had a squad of Nob Bikers assault a Monolith, and fail to destroy it.

The Necron player uses the Gate thingy (whatever it is that sucks things in on a STR check) out of 10 models, including my warlord, 2 fail their checks. other than those 2, (who were base nobz anyway) the highest i rolled was a 2. it takes my opponent the rest of the game to reduce the bikes to where i needed to hide them from his guys.

4th ed csm and daemons, using gift of chaos/boon of mutation. my greatest spawnings are calgar, dante, abbadon, swarmlord, and nightbringer. also 'stole' a spawn one game, by spawning my opponent's spawn

Last week my blood angels were playing against dark eldar. I made all my red thirst rolls, and was devastating a group of kabalite warriors with my death company guys. I wreck all of them and he says " huh, for a bunch of pissed off British guys they're pretty good" without missing a beat, my brother walks in and yells " blood for the blood God! " because he thinks blood angels are a chaos legion, my opponent and I continue to crack up to this day.... then there's the story of guncrotch, the biker gunner...

Against a squad of fire warriors.... with a couple power klaw nobs i got seven hits. seven 1s to wound! NUFF SAID

missiles cant overwatch.... not to ruin the humour or anything.

Not even Kraks? They aren't template weapons.

Kraks can overwatch just fine.

So can ork rokkits or anything else that isn't a blast effect

I forgot this one time i played a BA player that put all his units in reserve or in his storm raven i shot it down 2nd turn half way across the board with a river and a few buildings to block his use of that wings ability they get (wings of sanguinious?) best part a few of his guys died to dangerous terrain and he ended up chasing my battle suits all over the table trying to kill them only had his HQ at the end with one or two troops.

So, I'm playing a small friendly game with my friend, me Dark Eldar Versus his Necrons.

He charges his Overlord and his accompanying Warrior retinue into my Squad of Incubi with my Archon. I challenge his Overlord with my Archon, which he accepts. He makes all his saves against my Huskblade, and cuts down my Archon. My Incubi make short work of the warriors around the Archon, who in turn the Overlord makes short work of the incubi.

Meanwhile, my squad of kabalites were forced to disembark a raider after it became wrecked by Gauss fire, and my Wracks charged the Warriors after the Warriors shot at them a bit to avenge the lost Raider. Now, my friend menacingly moves his Overlord, with only one wound left, towards me and charges the Kabalite Warriors. I roll for overwatch fire against the Overlord, rolling poorly...

Except for one . One brave Kabalite stood up and kept his composure in face of certain death, aiming down his sights with grim precision...

He then rolled a 5 to wound. My friend laughs, thinking the 2+ save will allow him to shake off the shot...

Then, the Dice Gods smiled upon this Kabalite, for he had done them proud this day, and my friend rolled a . He then tries for Reanimation protocols... another .

That Kabalite Warrior now lives as the bravest member of first squad. Best part is, the model is actually posed towards where he is aiming down the sights of his rifle.

Hmm... awesome/hilarious moments.

A unit of Seraphim with a Palatine jumping in behind a Stompa at the Stompa Release event game, failing to scratch it... being ignored... double-tapping inferno pistols (you could do that in 4th - fire twice if stationary). Now, this is a tank-hunting Seraphim squad. That's two dual inferno pistol, a plasma pistol, meltabombs all round and a BS5 inferno pistol on an attached independent character. Double-tapping, with the dual pistols acting twin-linked for five meltagun shots. Take all but 1 Structure point... so I fire up Spirit of the Martyr, assault, and clamp 11 meltabombs to the thing.

The Stompa explodes. Rolls maximum distance for apocalyptic blast. Kills everything on the table, except for Eve (my Seraphim Palatine), and my Exorcist (which is now armed with only a storm bolter).

Another good one for my Sisters. Back when I started out with them, I didn't have enough actual Sisters models, so I used some old Guard metals (Steel Legionnaires) I had as Inquisitorial Stormtroopers. A squad of Stormtroopers with Hellguns, led by a Sergeant with a Hellpistol and a chainsword takes a charge from a unit of 10 Generic Lesser Daemons disguised as Plaguebearers. The Plaguebearers do nothing. The Stormtroopers strike back... and wipe them off the board.

I had two from one Apocalypse game, another time. My first time fielding Laevantine, my inferno gun-armed Baneblade sees 6000 points of railgun-heavy Tau firing everything they had at it and bouncing off or missing for two whole turns. On the third turn, 4 Genestealers assault it, rip the main gun off, cripple the engines, and leave it for dead before sweeping into the guard platoon it was protecting. The next turn, my Living Saint descends upon the battlefield to intercept Anng'rath, the Exalted Bloodthirster. She drops a Vortex Grenade on his head, taking off two wounds, then puts everything she has into assault, activating Hand of the Emperor. She's striking last against I9 or something crazy anyway, so I figure why not go for broke?

Ang'grath casually reaches back and swats her out of the sky.

So, next turn... she comes back for another go! and gets grabbed by his whip and slammed into the ground.

So, next turn... she tries again, and he swallows her whole.

So, next turn... she appears on the other side of the battlfield and starts slaughtering fire warriors. Angrath assaults a Guard platoon holding out backfield objective... and promptly gets run over by the vortex grenade, vanishing into the warp along with the guard squad, and the objective he was standing on, losing us the game.

My first game ever:

Me as Necron VS. my friend as Dark Eldar.

One of my 5 man immortal units came into close combat with a squad of Hellions. I lost the battle and only had two Immortals left, which also resultet in a failed Leadership Test. It was close combat so he made his Sweeping Advance.
Since Hellions have Inititative 6 and Immortals have Initiative 2, my only chance was him rolling a and me rolling a .
So we started rolling!
He started and rolled a .
So i was to roll a . BUT! I rolled a 5, so that was a draw.
Reroll!:
We rolled at the same time.
I rolled a and he rolled a again! The Immortals outran the Hellion!

Teaching a friend to play with my Orks (me with my BT). Put a Weirdboy in his Shoota squad to make things interesting. As soon as he's in range, next two turns he rolls ZAP both times and nuked my EC. He liked the game after that!

I play ork, so that's a sure way to get lots of laffs out of games, especially since I love the Shokk Attack Gun. And two of my best moments involve that weird gun.

1-In my first game ever, my big mek fires his SAG at a unit of necron immortals. I roll Double-5 so Zoink, the mek teleports in assault alone against 5 nasty necrons. My foe grins evilly as the odds are stacked in his favor... And my Big Mek wrecks two immortals with a wrench, suffers no wounds, the soulless machines then run away in fear! (Away from an objective, to boot) The whole game he kept failing various morale checks despite his Ld 10, pure improbable hilarity.

2-More recently, I fielded an Imperial Armor 8 Junka, an odd little tank that can equip a deffrolla and a Shokk Attack Gun. Facing some tyranids... I had to change position through a crater and manage to immobilize my junka by rolling a double-1 on the difficult terrain, so the deffrolla didn't help. Oh well, I fire the SAG at the Doom of Mal'anthai... and roll a Double-5 teleport result, so the Doom was, improbably enough, rammed by a deffrolla set on an -immobilized- tank! The tyranid player's comment: "Your Junka must be equipped with an improbability engine."

One more I forgot to mention. Tau vs Orks back in 5th, my two broadsides were in a ruin on turn 1, and the Ork player hadn't hidden his SAGmek well enough, so one of the broadsides could see him standing in another ruin. I went first, fired one shot from the broadside, and turned the mek into red mist.

I imagine the broadside casually firing a single railgun at it, watching it evaporate, and then going back to chatting with his teammate.

500pt mini-skirmish, GK versus Thousand Sons, under the old C:SM and the old Daemonhunters book. Thousand Sons and PAGKs murder each other, Sorcerer Gifts the Grand Master, and the game draws to a close with one Aspiring Sorcerer and one Chaos Spawn on the table.

4k point game, BA versus Orks, Flash gits had spent the first 3 turns running away after having their trukk Melta'd, they rallied and then charged into combat with my DC and a assault squad, opponent rolled for charge range, something was mentioned just as he rolled it how useless they have been, he rolled three 1's (they had to go over the Aegis)

First game of 6th edition and well first game of 40k ever. Take a 750 point space marine list against a plague marine list. I am missing my shots, left and right, whenever I hit he makes his saves, he finally gets to my lines and into combat.

He challenges with a power first sergeant, I accept so the squad doesn't get decimated...he kills my guy, rolls on the chaos table thingy...6....6....fething transforms into a greater Nurgle Daemon thing. Which then goes onto smash my TDA wearing Librarian into the ground.

I ran Old Zogswort in my Ork army against Space Marines. I think his HQ was a Captain. Around Turn 2/3 I use Zogsworts curse and turn the Space Marine Captain into a Squig!

Yes, that's amusing in itself. But for the kill point I still need to kill the squig so send a unit of five Warbikers after it. Warbikers get two turns of shooting their Assault 3 Twin-Linked Dakka-Guns at it and fail to kill it, only for the Bikers to then get wiped out by another unit they really should have been shooting at/assaulting.

I lost the game by... yep, a single Kill Point.

But the hilarity of my Warbikers chasing this squig around the table still brings laughter from the group today when mentioned.

1st turn of the game, my wierdboy gets ready to go psykic, goes 'eadbanger. Oh so what? He only killed 3 orkz outta the 30 in his squad. After a good round of shooting from my friends blood angels, another 10 go down. My turn again! Come on wierdboy, more powers! Eadbanger again..........he is dead and another 5 boys die....including the PK nob...rest of boys stare at Mephiston coming......

My friend trying to decide if he should move his Autarch with Warp Jump Generator on turn 1. Then convincing him to. Then watching it mishap and suck his Autarch into the Warp.

The look on his face was priceless. I gave him the first blood and warlord points for that one - he did the work.

Back in one of the other editions I had one CSM champion remaining and he caused my friends necron army to phase out lol

This latest game, C;SM vs. Eldar.
He has alot of 5+models, so he puts them in cover, but i brought a whirlwind and a Sternguard squad
Those poor eldar didnt stand a chance, he lost most of his troops, but his warlord was a scoring unit and he killed more heavy support.

i have a new funiest moment.

Necrons versus necrons, with the battle at the end of the 6th turn a draw, the only thing either of us could do was to try to get a point for warlord to tip the balance.

Our necron overlords (both on full wounds) entered a challenge. Both of us had MSS. we both failed our LD test, we both rolled 3 hits, and both our overlords killed themselves (and failed their RP rolls)

I was playing a game on Sunday, me and my friend (Space Wolves and Ultramarines) vs 2 other friends (Tau and Daemons) vs ANOTHER friend (Grey Knights). We got first turn. I told my Ultramarines friend to throw everything his Devastators had at the Knights Dreadknight, but a Multi-Melta, Lascannon, and a Heavy Bolter only took it down to 1 wound. The Devastators fired the 1 Bolter in 1 shot range. He hit on a 3, wounded on a 6.
the Dread failed his save on a 1.

Ok, got a new one that I saw just last week.

So Chaos is fighting Orks.


Khorne Lord with daemon weapon is in a challange with a Warboss with a PK and Cybork body.

So the Khorne Lord rolls for his attacks. 11 attacks on the charge! He causes 3 wounds, 2 are saved by the Cybork body!

Warboss lives! Kill dat spiky boy!

only manages a single wound which is saved.


For the next two rounds, the same thing happens. The Lord takes a wound off the boss, and the boss does nothing in return.

On the third round, the Boss fails his Ld and gets run down. Khorne does not bless his champion because he didn't kill his opponent in a challange.

If I were Khorne I'd not bless him either, he sounds like he couldn't hold his own against a rubber duck.

They rolled to see what it would have been just for giggles. Dice came up Spawn

That's a result I can agree on.

A chaos sorcerer and company had gotten into close combat with my Company Command squad. The rest of the guardsmen are wiped, which left only the astropath versus his sorcerer.

The chaos sorcerer gets ready to smite the lowly servant of the emprah, and fails hit once.

The astropath rolls his eyes and shows the demigod of chaos some REAL magic, by drawing his laspistol and shooting the sorcerer in the chest.

When I first got my Orks, I took out a tank with a power Klaw (str 10). rolled a 6 and it exploded. I had one wound left and failed the armour test for the blast/shrapnel hits.

Whenever this thread comes up, I always say the same comment because I never come across anything funnier.

I was in store playing a kid who had an orc army. His brother (or friend) was watching. Once we finally got setup (it was fantasy) the kids brother leaned down over a big unit of orcs, yells "Waaagh" and a big load of drool plops on the kid's model (slurp noise and everything). I burst out laughing and the two get into a big slap fight. Finally they settle down, but the whole game the kid would grumble "I can't believe you slobbered on my orcs", which would start me laughing and another slap fight would start. I felt like I was playing two real orcs failing animosity tests.

I lost from lack of concentration and maybe pity for the kid.

I was losing a game pretty badly and was down to 1 model left. It was a Chosen CSM with a bolter.
On my turn I declared he was going to kill himself. being himself he was in rapid fire range. I roll 2 d6 and roll a 1 and a 2. Needless to say we had some fun reenactments of what he looked like.

I guess my funniest moment was when a lone guardsman with a melta gun chased a wraithlord for 2 turns after making a heroic ld save when his unit was shot from around him. He only caused two wounds and chased the thing until the game ended. I found it amusing....

I was down to a single SM scout against my brothers Abaddon and 2x 10 man squads of Zerkers.... Truly the emperor protects. My single scout killed every last one. Granted we were playing annihilation(to the last man) so this went on for some time... Needless to say he got terminator honors and full promotion to my 1st company.

I had Ghazzy pelting along after a Stormtalon shooting it with his Big Shoota in one game. Freaking hilarious!

"come back 'ere ! "

My Chainsword/Bolt Pistol Sergeant killed a Nurgle Biker Sorceror in a Challenge.

I still need to paint his white Wreath on his helmet...

A single base of Nurglings, over several turns, demolishes a Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard unit, complete with Dante. There was much lulz to be had from both of us.


**EDITS** apparently i cant spell for crap when half-asleep.

I was playing a 1500 point battle against CSM, and I was running my monolith, it had be performing admirably, as usual, wiping out a squad of chosen in a shot ect.

Now, my friend had a squad of Chaos terminators, fully kitted out, chainfists galore, he grins at me when they come in.
He places them 6 inches from my monolith, rolls, they scatter into my monolith, and die.
We stood there for a minute before both busting out laughing.

Another time was my monolith getting assaulted by chaos bikers with melta bombs, they failed to damage it for 2 turns, as i kept using the exile portal on all of them,
At the end of it all, he got two glances, and lost 6 bikers.

I had a pretty funny one a couple games ago. I had a unit of 10 cultists charge a terminator and beat him down with a swarm of attacks. The visual of a rag-tag mob of cultists dragging down one of the most elite soldiers in the galaxy without losing a single man was pretty great.

Just the thought of cultists charging terminators is hilarious. I especially love whent the Cult Champ issues a challenge.

"OI! YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME JUST 'COS YOU'RE BIGGER!? I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!"

one of my favorite moments in a game was when I had a squad of five sternguard jump down from a really high building. None died to dangerous terrain and where safe, but far from the action and couldnt engage with boltguns. I decided to run them, and in three consecutive turns they rolled a '3'

I can just imagine them hobbling along with blown knees after jumping from an insane fight.

Had a game the other day, my Orks vs my buddy's new CSM.

I charge Typhus and accompanying Termies with my Nobs. Typhus challenges my boss. I accept (I forgot Typhus had Eternal Warrior, or I wouldn't have). So for a couple of turns I'm whittling him down while I save all of his force weapon hits (my Nobs have since killed his Terminators, so I'm getting re-rolls from the rest of the squad). Eventually, however, Typhus causes an unsaved Wound, and force weapons me to death. Typhus then rolls on the Chaos Boon table. 22. He turned into a Spawn.

Later in the game, his flying Daemon Prince charges two Deffkoptas. He had two wounds left. I roll boxcars for Overwatch with my Rokkits. Both wound, and he chokes both of his invulnerable saves.

Of course, that entire game consisted of him choking on dice rolls while I rolled exceptionally well. I offered to trade dice more than once, but he kept telling me I was due for a fail.

I had a single Eldar Pathfinder-Ranger last 4 turns in melee vs. 3 Genestealers and manage to kill 1 of them. Both of us were wondering why he wouldn't die . I considered naming him (painting a name on his base) due to his efforts but I have since forgotten which specific model accomplished the feat.

Back in third edition, I played a game with my Templars against a friend's Dark Eldar in that awful, awful, Meatgrinder mission.

Round abouts Turn 5 he charged my last remaining Crusader Squad with his unit of Incubi. They fight valiantly through the combat and down several, but by the end of the round I have one marine left of the squad. My turn 6 I move my remaining vehicles away from his forces, and somehow my Templar survives combat with around 7 incubi. His turn he shoots the rest of my army off the table, however in the assault phase is unable, again, to kill this one marine. I won the mission, which required the attacker to completely wipe out the opponent, by having him alive.

We made a lot of "You're my number 1 guy!!!!" jokes after that.

My opponent had deep struck a big elite necron squad of some kind and landed on top of a gun drone. We named it the killer Frisbee

At this point on in the majority of my games my drones have done more to win me games than such as killing the last term off an objective while sitting on an immobilized dfish or making a mad dash to contest an objective needing boxcars and getting it.

(I think my drones rack up more points win wise then my fire warriors who end up running off the board most of the time lol.)

Let's see...had a monolith scatter it's particle whip back onto it and Explode itself (last edition when the p whip was Str 9 and AP1 on the hole).

My buddy had a single (ONE) terminator wreck and explode two triarch stalkers in close combat (yes, I failed miserably at shooting him) in the same game, one right after the other...and yes, this was AFTER my attacks against him.

Failed three 2+ armor saves in a row with a D.Lord against emperors champion in a challenge. That was fantastically awful. Didn't even get my attacks in. Failed to get back up too.

Oh, my favorite is when a melta, a heavy gauss cannon, a particle whip, and the death ray all failed to do ANYTHING against a land raider...up until the wraiths assaulted and subsequently exploded it.

In my last game against Space Marines, I made a lot of mistakes and stupid decisions that ultimately would have cost me the game... if every single time my opponent had killed one of my tanks, it hadn't exploded and killed half of the squad that attacked it.

In the end, two Immolators, two Repressors and an Exorcist exploding accounted for something like three terminators, fifteen Tactical marines and ten Assault Marines.

Their combined kill count through actual weapons fire? Two tactical marines and a Predator Annihilator.

Measuring in centimeters instead of inches most of the game.

So, one of my first games in Sixth. I am facing deamons with my Orks. turn 2 my opponent scores 4 points with a single wound.

Mission was Purge the alien, and the deamon player rolled a 4 on the personal chart for Fateweaver's WL characteristic. so he challenged my Warboss on bike after assaulting the biker squad along with a few other deamons. i fail 1 save, and dont make the FnP. I than fail the test to resist the bird's book.

First blood
Slay the warlord
Kill point
Bonus point for WL trait.

i cant post it here no one will believe me lets just say i have a guardsmen sargent named BOB THE DESTROYER (yes has to be capitals and shouted) it was one of those moments you wish you had a camera it almost made my brother cry.

What happened? Come on, tell us!

In my last game, my friend turned the light off on my mum in the shower room, that was funny.

(6th Edition)
My big blob of 20 Necron Warriors (with a kitted-out Lord) charge into 9 Nobs with a Warboss (just because I was feeling ballsy). The Orks snapshot. Nothing happens. Warriors successfully get into combat. Lord Mindshackle Scarabs the Warboss. On 3D6, it fails by 1. It proceeds to hit itself in the face with a power klaw 3 times. 3 6's to hit. 3 5's to wound. 1 dead Warboss. The Nobz, now supremely butthurt at the loss of the Warboss, get something like 40 attacks. 2 Necrons go down. Warriors attack back, inflicting 12, TWELVE, unsaved wounds. The Orks run away. And get ran down. Oh, and those 2 Necrons that went down? Yeah, they both got back up.

On the last turn I'm holding an objective with my Tac Marines with a 1 point lead. A group of six Tau come and charged me. They do no wounds I cause 5 and his last model rolls insane heroism on the morale check. I tied.

Well the Funniest moment for my friend was in the 6th turn of combat. All that remained (After a few manticore strikes and consentrated fire from my Predator) was a single guardsmen and my EC.
EC charges the last guardsmen.
Guardsmen fires in Overwatch
Rolls 6
Champion fails armour Save
Last wound

We gave the Guardsmen a spare black templar head glued to his base to remember this mighty deed.

Either that or the fact that he Infiltrated a Warhound with CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!

This was a while back, but it was an average game amongst friends in Jville. Someone was running two land raiders, as I rolled my dice, I rolled them toward the land raiders 3 dice roll in between, bouncing back and forth multiple times, make quite some noise. When we paused to see what numbers appeared, we all stared in amazement as we saw a stack of three dice, the middle dice landed on top of the bottom one (which rolled a six) the middle die came up as a one, and the top dice had landed on the middle one, with the corner down perfectly balanced on the one. My opponents didn't make me re-roll of anything, they considered that a sign, and removed said unit of tactical marines from the table as casualties. My "witch cursed" dice became infamous for a while.

When 6th was first released I had a 500 point objective game against a friend's Tau where-in my Tervigon managed to spawn 50 Termagants over the course of 4 game turns and didn't "break" until turn 7 (first two rolls were 15, then an 11, and then a 9 consisting of three 3's). I was litterally pulling gaunts from my casualty heap and putting them back on the table right back where they had been prior to being shot off the board!

More recently, I had a match against this same friend while he was testing out Chaos Daemons and one of his Tzeentch princes simply must have done something to offend their patron deity. On the first turn they were hit and wounded by a Rupture Cannon after everything else in range had given its best try and then failed their grounding check (suffered no damage from the crash). On the second turn the Prince charged a unit of 2 Hive Guard hiding in cover and looses another wound to Overwatch and then takes an additional wound from the Hive Guard unit itself in melee. It deals 1 wound back (killing one of the two who had already taken a wound) and draws the combat. Next turn my Hive Tyrant joines the fight and the Prince ends up being bested by the remaining Hive Guard before he or the Tyrant can strike.

It wasn't just against me either, in a second game this same Daemon Prince managed to get himself tied up by an Eldar War Walker unit until turn 5 by simply being unable to land any blows (comically, when he finally did kill the last walker the Daemon Prince model had to be returned to its owner and the other Eldar lent him one of the War Walkers to use for the last few turns).

Oh, just thought of one. It's not mine, but I was there when it happened.

It was a game of Necromunda, and a Juve charged a Ganger. The two fought, hit each other a few times but nothing serious. Then, the Juve ended up sticking the Ganger with his knife and the Ganger dropped. Next turn, the Ganger's gang had to roll for bottling, and they ended up saying "Screw that!" and booked it. Then, on the serious injuries chart, the Ganger rolled the one that made him have to roll D3 more times. All three of them ended up being chest wounds (-1T), and he had already been weakened by earlier fighing.
The Ganger died from having a Toughness of 0.
The Juve had EATEN HIS HEART.

Also, there was a game where one of my friends was using Epidemius with his Nurgle CSM army. That's pretty badass, right? All those bonuses, you know?
Well, unforunately Epidemius can only do anything when he's actually on the table.
It was just Epidemius and a group of Plaguebearers. He failed the roll for the Daemonic assault, so the Plaguebearers came through turn one instead of Epidemius. Next turn, he failed the reserve rolls. Turn three, he passed, but Epidiumius ended up having a deep strike mishap and returned tor reserves.
By the time Epidemius finally got to enter the game, most of the board had blown each other apart. So yay, 3+ FNP on the two and a half units that survived!

A squad of 30 hormagants munch through a squad of boyz then through a squad of nobs with a warboss

A squad of five Assault Marines - Basic Assault marines, going at em with jump packs and chainswords - wanted to clear my Infantry Squad of guardsmen off of an objective in the most reliable way to do so...Assault.

They are four inches away, so they easily make their charge distance...I get overwatch, and somehow kill two of them with a basic flamer.....They get their hammer of wrath attacks...and I make my armor saves...all of them...then they make their usual attacks.....and none of them score any wounds....and then the guardsmen, using bayonets, massacre the guys with power armor.

My opponent and I were both stunned....he then says deadpan "holy s**t, you just killed assault marines in close combat...with guard!" which causes the entire room to look up at us (one guy almost spit out his soda)

That's so cliché it's hilarious. I had an amusing mental picture XD

I got a really bad headache in the middle of a game two days ago in my friends house which caused me to get very assaulty. As Necrons. Then I put my face in a plastic cauldron full of candy and ran around the street with them chasing me

This was a recent one. We were playing the relic, insanely close as no one could reach the relic at this point (my cultists ran of with it and then died in the middle of no where). He has one scoring model left, a dire avenger exarch. I have no scoring units left. His exarch makes a mad dash for the relic, I have to stop him. I have a lone chaos chosen with a power sword 18" away, to top it off he is on the top of a tower. The chosen leaps down, lives, roll 6 for difficult terrain. He throws a grenade, hits and wounds, exarch saves. I charge, rolls 12". Exarch bladestorms on the overwatch, 3 hits and 3 wounds, followed by 3 power armor saves. Exarch strikes first, he hits and wounds twice. I save both, swing once with my power sword and the exarch dies.

Final score - Chosen lives through 6 possible deaths, Exarch takes a grenade to the face and lives

Most epic fight yet

My two best moments have been against Necrons. Once in 5th my opponent had mishapped his Monolith on a beat up Monolith (someone had lit it on fire at some point) terrain piece; he rolled and the monolith got destroyed.

The next one was when the same player had put his Deathmarks in via Monolith just to be safe. He then fired the Crystal and it scatters right on to the Deathmarks and even hit his Monolith.

One other moment that I enjoyed was shooting a Daemon Prince down during Overwatch with my Eldar War Walkers. Those Scatter Lasers will get you every time.

I enjoyed was shooting a Daemon Prince down during Overwatch with my Eldar War Walkers.

Viehicles can't overwatch.

Once i shot a unit of berserkers and a chaos lord with 5 SM bikes, attack bike and relic blade/combi plasma captain
6 plasma shots - 5 hits(2 precisive) - 5 ones. I was sure that the dice gods hated me.
Then I charged him, wounding with all of my Hammer of wrath hits and he failed 5 saves. He was like "Damn you Tzeentch! I thought you're on my side!"

In a small game with my CSM over the weekend, and decided to swap out my Sorcerer's Spell Familiar for Aura of Dark Glory to give him a bit more survivability.
I then proceed to roll two double-6 perils in succession, in the same turn..
He has the Familiar back now.

I had a ten man tac squad get charged by a 12 man bezerker squad, 2 died in snapshot phase, and I lost 4 tac marines in his combat turn. I then got 4 wounds on him, which saved my squad from getting routed off the board(I was basically 4 inches from the edge). 2 turns later, I had 1 tac marine left, but the bezerker squad was dead, killed to a man.

Walkers can, dreadnoughts, sentinels, war walkers, etc.

Page 84 of the rulebook.

A Necron Wraith squad (with Dlord, but thats another issue) assualts my stealth teams with its drones. (3 suits, 6 drones) my fault for bad placing, as I forgot wraiths can go through walls unhindered.
First wraith dies to overwatch.
Second wraith dies to drones bumping into it in I4

team continues to get massacured, but was totally worth that moment.

So Huron Blackheart and 20 Khorne CSM multiassult my CCS and the last straggler of a PIS.

Huron challenges, Creed flips him the bird and declines. The big man proceeds to kill the last Veteran from a PIS. The marines funnel their attacks into the CCS, and when all is said and done, and the carapace armor saves have been taken and the FnP rolls have been made, I've taken no casualties. Then the medic, lascannon team, and a random jerk with a sniper rifle lay into the CSM.

They manage to hit with all 4 attacks, wound with 3 of them, kill 2 CSM, and win the combat. Sadly, Huron still makes them Fearless, so my 195 points CCS didn't get to run down like 600 points of CSM, and his staying in combat meant I didn't get to fire 2 Medusas, 2 Russes and a Vendetta into the pile.

Walkers can, dreadnoughts, sentinels, war walkers, etc.

I really didn't notice it before, but it might come in handy, thanks.

My friend's squad of about 8 tau fire warriors decimated first a squad of 10 ork boys, then a squad of 5 ork nobs, plus boss snickrot - in close combat

I played a game as CSM with Tsons and Ahriman, against grey knights one game. somehow Im clearing the table, So Ahriman and his cadre of obliterators swaggers up to 6 tac marines kills 4 shooting charges kills one more and the seargent runs. Next turn as he will clearly feel no fear he charges for veangence. He kills one oblierator in shooting and challenges ahriman, I fail my saves, die to FW the two oblits fail leadership and get cut down. I hung my head and told him he had gotten slay the warlord.

I had a fantasy game about 5 days ago, Ogres v Ogres. first turn my opponent moves up his leadbelchers and fire at my bulls. First he rolls six sixes and one five getting 41 shots, we started joking about him having good luck this game (if only we knew) my bulls fail leadership and run causing a panic test on my ironblaster.... who runs off the table. first turn and I didnt even get to fire a shot

I was playing a game against the FLGS douche, and he's down to his last unit, a Leman Russ Demolisher. My Deathwing is destroying him, and I have a single model with an assault cannon left. He decides to shoot him, and instead of shooting 2 plasma cannons and a las cannon, he wants to go for the overkill and shoot the demolisher cannon. He scatters back into himself, gets a penetrating hit... With an explode result... He was PISSED

Was moving one of my raiders into ruins, promptly taking my dangerous terrain test. Roll a 1, take my Flickerfield, failed. Next flying stand breaks off. Appropriate it seemed.

Similar story.
Had a Rhino full of Plague Marines try to drive through some ruins. Didn't bother taking a dozer blade because I wasn't really planning on going through difficult terrain, but I did it anyway. Failed my dangerous terrain check, so I got immobilized. In the shooting, I couldn't see anything so I rolled for repair. I managed to fix the Rhino, and my plague marines rejoiced. Next turn I started trying to move out of the ruins but failed the dangerous terrain check again. Made a successful repair and everyone had a good time.
Turn four, I tried to move out of the ruins again. Failed the test and wrecked the Nurgle damned Rhino. I came so close to flipping a table >:|

In 5th i was playing a kid with Mono-Nurgle Marines (really well painted too.) Well my Interrogator Chaplain leads a squad of TH/SS deathwing command squads into a nurgle lord in termie armor with LC and his terminator bodyguards. Smash all of them except the lord (the kid forgot that the lord is fearless0 so we rolled leadership and that lord failed 3 LD checks at 10 in a row and ran off the board.

My friend and I played a 6th ed game my nids against his new chaos with the new book I was winning by a bit and his lord who had just seen all his berserker's killed decided to challenge my mycetic spore I accepted as it was too cool not to I over-watched and wounded his lord once and then he proceeded to slaughter the spore, my friend was so happy as he got to use the boon table, as if by fate he spawned himself, to make things worse there was a very angry tervigon standing nearby who had the biomancy power for D3 extra attacks and initiative I got a 6 and his spawn power was the extra armour, the tervigon went first and slaughtered the spawn giving me slay the warlord.

4th Ed Daemon Prince in close combat with GK master Stern, 6 outta 6 hits with WS3, ID on 2+, 5 outta 6. 4++..... 5 outta 5 saves. DP suffers ID from Stern's force weapon shortly after. OR
Catachan Demo team survive 2 turns of bolters (1 of rapid firing) in open ground without a single casualty. Throw Demo charge, it scatters back. Kills them and their chimera.

A couple in one game.

It was a small game of my DA vs. DE, my warlord was Ezekiel, his was an archon with the 2+ invuln wargear piece.

His unit of wyches with archon charged my tac squad with ezekiel, ezekiel gets challenged by the archon and they both whiff, I like to think they were having a slap fight

a few turns later Ezekiel had finished off the archon and the one remaining wych had fled, my opponent turned 3 reavers, a ravager, and a razorwing jetfighter's fire on him, and he made all his saves, only to be brought down from mere warriors in the next turn.

elsewhere in that game,

I had a terminator unit which wrecked the aforementioned ravager and a reaver with some cyclone missile goodness, and one of my termies wrecked a reaver, with a TH! I like to think he grabbed a splinter rifle off a dead body and polevaulted, batting the reaver away in mid-glide.

at the end of the game, the same termy who wrecked the reaver was my only model left, while his was a razorwing jetfighter, the termy said "Why not?" and threw a krak grenade at the thing, it didn't hit but I like to think the razorwing ran away from the incredibly bad-as-feth terminator. by the way, he's now the sergeant.

Sometimes I play my IG like I've read about generals in BL novels. Leman Russ in my own deployment, aiming at a unit of berzerkers. Shot scatters back, 1 inch away from the 'zerkers, but bullseye on a big blob of guardsmen. All 9 models hit are killed, they fail their morale, commissar executes one sargent, they fail again and take off... (CC manages to Get them Back In The Fight next turn, though, so not as funny as it could have been.)

You asked for it.

My first game of 6th edition, my BA against orks of a friend. I played DoA spiced up with Mephiston deploying alone (yes, a mistake in the use of reserves).
Turn #1 he just jumps around, closing on the trucks and BW approaching me.
Turn #2, he jumps closer and continues to shoot his plasma pistol at a trukk: a hit, a penetrate, and KABOOM. Then he continues to assault the poor orks, wiping the nob in a challenge, overrunning the rest of the mob.
Next turn orks charge from a trukk, rolling poorly - and the only one who could reach Mephiston got overwatched.
Turn #3 Mephiston tallied anther 12 orks, continuing his slaughter, until getting krumped by 10 meganobz and Grotsnik...
Though that doesn't compare to when my Mephiston wiped out 975 points (out of 2,000) worth of tyranid monsters and gaunts in a single tournament match (including 1st turn kill off of a hive tyrant, lol 5th ed. Mephy = ).

Playing earlier against the same guy with my BA, I tabled him, myself only losing a single blood talon from my DC Dreadnought. I pitied him.
And he's still afraid to death of my Death Company (they wiped out over a hundred boyz in that game)!

The overwatch reminds me of his earlier luck in the 5th, again versus orks.
He is about to get charged by a mob of boyz (yikes in the 5th!), but only one can reach him, and it fails its dangerous terrain test crossing a wrecked truck!
Later in the game he is about to get assaulted by killa kans, but again he is saved, thanks to a kan failing its dangerous terrain test, blocking the way of other kans.

Sounds similar to Heavy-Bolterman Jones... For a squat, he makes people run pretty fast

me and my brother where playing some wierd homebrew version of the biking special mission thing in IA8, where everyone has to be on bikes. He had a whole lot on ork warbikers and i had my raven wing bikers (come to think of it i shouldn't have, but anyway...) He goes up to a little mound of terrain in order to do a jump as per the special rules of that mission. The terrain piece was literally a pile of dirt. He proceeds to fail the jump and the biker gets killed . In the madness of moving terrain one of my bikers runs into a building/volcano (I have some homebrew rules for a volcano that i like to use, but this bit of terrain counted as a building for the purposes of collision even though it fired out balls of lava every turn ). any way my biker runs into it and somehow manages to bash his way through it and take his saves successfully.

It was very funny to think that his biker couldn't drive over a mound of dirt while my ravenwing biker could smash through a volcano

I went against a necron player's 7k apoc list with my ragtag team of 3k, and won.... HOLY CRAP APOC EXPLOSIONS KILL EVERYTHING, ALL THE MONOLITHS!!!!! Twas glorious... Almost every infantry team got a confirmed monolith kill that day. Long range my Tau railgun covered butt!!!

My friend antemped to proxy a rhino with a potato

I'd have played the Potato.

Just finished a game where both our Warlords were turned into spawn in turn two and a 5 man Berzerker squad took 3 casualties charging through razorwire!

Punisher cannon at the back of a flyer.... fun times.... fun fun times....

I'd have played Nids vs the potato.

Then i could have eaten it

I have had the experience that on a match were 1 Ravenwing lived the entire game until the last round, survives 2 Dreadnought Multi-Meltas and 2 missles. then he got swarmed by Boyz. Didn't live.

Ahriman turning 2 Wraithguard into spawn, then charging the rest of the squad and insta-gibbing the Farseer who had each of the Runes.

Jeff the Carnifex jumping on a Razorback and throwing the turret so far it lands on a Dreadnought. Which explodes next turn, wounding Calgar and killing his Apothecary.

Two tuns later, Calgar fluffed his charge on Jeff and his Displacer Field jumped him out of combat. Into the middle of a massive brood of Genestealers. Nom.

Meanwhile, an Eversor Assassin dodges a Spore Mine explosion, falling off a four floor building in the process.

On the final turn, Smurf player has another Apothecary, placed out of sight and up til now forgotten, run to the top of said building, out of every Tyranid's charge range, to beat the Tyranid Attack 'kill EVERYTHING' mission.

No ranged bugs left, apart from a Lictor's Flesh Hooks. Which drag the hapless medic off, the fall killing him. Behemoth is victorious!

Yeah, 2ed had its moments...

Ran a cultist champion w/ a shotgun in a blob of 30 khorne cultists, he proceeds to roll to hit, and to wound, picking the librarian in the unit who rolls ... and promptly turns into a daemon prince.

Trying to get siege rules together in early 3ed. Defending a ring fort with IG against Tyranids. They reach the walls, one comes down, the Demolisher opens up on a solid carpet of Gaunts and Carnifexes and Tyrant... scatters 12" right on top of my Captain and his unit. Yeah, that was a win for the bugs.

Other day had a 300 point sorcerer jump down from some ruins, dies from the impact...... needless to say I struggled that game

I once saw someone take two Big Meks, each with the Shokk Attack Gun. He ran them in a list which was nothing but ork infantry, a huge wall of green mobbed up models. Anyway, first turn he rolls snake eyes TWICE, killing both Big Meks and taking out huge swaths of boyz each time. Hi-larious.

Recently, while playing a game against Chaos, I had the entire game sewed up. As a last 'screw you' my opponent charged his Chaos bike sergeant guy into the unit of Pathfinders that had been ruining his day. One dead Shas'ui and a phenomenally lucky roll later, I suddenly have a Daemon Prince behind my lines. I lost the game, but I wasn't even mad. Shoot, I'm still in shock that it even happened!

That's about it for me.

I haven't been playing 40k long so I don't have many stories yet, but I something kind of funny did happen to me last week when I was against this veteran Tau player who didn't really know much about the new Necron codex.

He was in the middle of a jocular rant about how Necrons are OP and how Matt Ward is the devil (I had been getting lucky with my Reanimation Protocols so far and he had just found out about Living Metal and Arc) when Imotekh managed to take away all the hull points of his tank with one round of lightning. I assume that tank was pretty important given how pissed he was.

6 Tau FW killed 5 assoult Termies.
Yeah, the Luck Goddess was with me.

There was a landraider in the middle of the map tearing my chimer'as and guardsmen to pieces so I I made my sentinel armed with a lascannon to try and shake, or stun the crew......it destroyed the landraider and some terminators in it

I can just imagine the faceof the Space marine commander "WTF the finest tank in the Imperium blown up by a lascannon on legs"

Holy Necrothread Batman....
