Hey all!

A for fun thread, what's the most amazing thing you've done with any unit in the game? Feel free to add synergies and whatnot, but try to focus on the exploits of a single unit. How it trolled, stomped, or crippled an enemy army, or just how it made the game fun and enjoyable! I'll start:

Swooping Hawks. vs. Guard

Got first turn, so I deployed them, and skyleaped right away. Turn 2, I deepstriked near their ADL turret, dropped a grenade on the guardsmen mounting it, and shot the survivors. Battlefocused to end my turn touching the turret.

On my opponents phase, a Vendetta came in, I proceeded to shoot it with intercept from THE STOLEN QUADGUN and stunned it! The return fire from the backfield was torturous, but Going to Ground made it more manageable (2+ behind aegis!, 4+ save vs lasguns on the other side). Didn't lose a single hawk. My turn, I skyleaped with the hawks as the rest of my army closed the gap.

I 1-shot a hellturky using a Mek in a flamer unit once. Got a 6 to hit, 6 to pen, he failed his invuln, and a 6 for Damage results.

Back in 5th, Vulkan SMs against IG:

After losing 5 assault termies to crappy save rolls, Vulkan proceeds to make 22 armor saves in a single round of shooting then in the next 2-3 turns pops 2 chimera transports and ties up another infantry squad before the end of the game. He literally singlehandedly turned the game around for me. It was like reading one of the Salamanders book where Vulkan is always on the run slicing things up or burning things to a crisp, absolutely unstoppable. It was epic.

Epic games are the best. My favorite part about 40k fluff is reading amazing Rip-a-daemon's-heart-out story and thinking, "Damn, he must have been rolling a lot of 6s". Then realizing that you want to see one of your units the exact same thing.

40k, where almost anything is possible - and it goes both ways!

The best thing I can think of was turn 1 5 sniper scout killed 1 battle suit causing the whole unit to fall off the table. Then they jumped in a land speeder storm with multi melta and did drive by's on his other suit and stood in front of the tau till turn 4. Scouts died at mid field on obj by suits. Then a drop pod almost killed his suit commander solo. Of course I lost cause my saves were rolling 1's

In Advance,Sorry About The Random Caps. Im On The Mobile Version And It's Acting Up.
Necrons V Chaos
I Challenged Abbadon With A Lord withMSS And Made Abbadon Hit Himself To Death.

In quite the opposite fashion, the worst thing that has ever happened to me...

Black Templars (as me) VS. CSM (my brother):

To set the mood, he had a 180+ Zombie list led by Typhus. He had 3 Havoc squads, 2 with Autocannons and 1 with Lascannons all behind an Aegis Defence Line. The last of his points went into 2 Heldrakes.

I had a 2 LRCs among others. I went through his entire list to point out what in his list could actually kill a LRC. 4 Lascannons in 1 Havoc Squad.

Turn1: Nightfighting. I go first and I set up my LRCs near the center of the board and partially behind terrain.

He steals initiative. That's fine. I still get 5++ from terrain and it increases to a 2++ from Stealth and Shroud for being 24"+ away.

He only has true LOS on a single Land Raider with a single Lascannon model.

He shoots with BS4
He hits with a "4". *eh, 66% chance*
I roll to save: 1. *crap, what are the chances, it's okay*
He penetrates with a "6". *he wound pen, sigh, he still needs a 5+...*
He rolls for damage: 6. *Good game. Well played. Shake hands*

I oonce played a small 500 point scirmish with my 5 man biker unit with a decked out captain and an attack bike and 5 scouts against a sisters of battle army. I set up somewhere relatively safewith my 400 points of bikers but he manages to steal the initiative sees my bikes through a window with his exorcist, fires away and kills two bikers. I proceed to roll 11 on my leadership test and 420 points of my 500 point army runs of the table after turn one and I'm forced to raise the white flag.

And that is my most awsome dice roll I've ever made.

I had two pinned veterans with meltaguns (the last surviving members of their squad) shoot down a GK stormraven with consecutive sixes. The stormraven was the only thing that could take out my leman russes and we were playing Big Guns. Ended up winning the game because of that.

Still going back(5th edition) to my Archon and 5 Incubi charging Logan(logan had taken a wound) + 6 Terminators.

My archon completely wiffed against Logan, and the incubi killed 3 termintors and were then wiped out by the remaining terminators. Logan got nothing but shadowfield.

I was feeling pretty hopeless at this point

The next round I put everything into Logan again, got 4 wounds and he failed 3 saves killing him. The terminators got nothing but shadowfield. They lost combat by 3, failed their leadership check and ran, were caught by the archon and invoked ATSKNF to autorally and take fearless wounds. 3 armorsaves, assault cannon and they were all dead. The archon got his 2 pain tokens and won the game.

Getting boarded by game turn 3, I decided I was going to have last laugh. My Farseer cast Death mission, walked up, bitch slapped and swept the unit he had holding the relic. The game was then called for time. I may have lost but not without glory.

The Most Awful* Thing I've done with _Trygon's_ was... feed them to a death roller.

Twice

In one game.

I had a single Steel Legion Guardsman short out a Dark Eldar Archon's Shadow Field in close combat with the butt of his rifle before he was taken prisoner and likely flayed. I had to sculpt a small medal on him to commemorate the occasion.

my fav liost of things that I will always remember.

1) beginning of sixth. had logan and a wolf guard termie left. split them off to try and get to units. rolled really bad on charge. logan standing in open field surrounded by tau. he survives 1 hammerhead 3 broadsides and 15 rapid firing warriors.

2 Maugan ra gets assaulted by Farsight in fifth ed. I win combat by one wound. Maug sweeps farsight and 5 Suits off the table

2 maug again gets charged by Belial. bad place ment on my part. 3 turns later Maug Takes down delial in challenge

3 not me but my BF. vendetta shoots at remaining broadside.fails hovers to shoot again before fling off table. fails. BFs crises suit and broad side fail to kill with shooting so broad side walks up and punches out coclkkpit killing said vendetta. or valkyre which ever has 3 lascanons =P

APOC game i played in 5th:
I deep struck my LRC with assault termies and a chaplain behind my buddies Imp guard Basilisks (x3) and wiped them out. The DS was super chancy (aka stupid lol) if I had scattered more then 2 or 3 inches in any direction I'd have been screwed.

Eldrad killing a Bloodthirster in 1on1 combat.

It took 4 rounds of combat, as Eldrad made 27 invul saves (fortuned) that would have instant deathed him. Meanwhile, Eldrad plinked the thirster for 1 wound every round. This was the old Eldrad, before his force weapon. It was glorious.

I was playing against some Mechdar the other day with my BA. I had one of my Tac Squads pinned, but I shot its LC at one of the WS anyway.

I managed to hit and Pen somehow, and my opponent and I laugh about how hilarious it would be if his Serpent Shield and Jink failed.He rolls a 1 for both . I roll a 5 on the damage chart and blow it up first turn, which allowed me to miraculously tie the game later on!

Back in 5th Edition a mate's Tau Fire Warrior squad leader took the last wound from a tooled up Space Marine Captain in close combat (not a happy camper).

The next game the Tau took on my Dark Eldar (in the day when you scored bonus victory points for 'capturing' the enemy). Well a Wych squad took out said Firewarrior Team and we especially rolled to see if the famous leader was killed or captured. Turned out he was taken prisoner!

Of course we had to do a special mission to give my mate the chance to rescue his now famous Fire Warrior team leader, so we set up an ambush scenario with my Dark Eldar trying to escape with all of their new slaves.

Bringing a long story to a close, the damned Tau got away and when next he appeared he was behind the controls of a Crisis suit...

I had a prolonged combat of a Maulerfiend, 6 noisemarines, and a Helbrute against a Dreadknight that just wouldn't die.

All this was happening as we fought over an objective, just out of reach of the noisemarines scoring it! All we needed was to kill the dreadknight and even a 1" consolidation would do it.

Well as it happened some cultists came over to grab the objective. Doing fine, until some good shooting wipes out their chaos lord, the cultist leader, and everyone but the very last cultist, all by his lonesome.

Well, he passed his morale test and stood firm, but he wouldn't survive another shooting phase. Into the combat! The dreadknight couldn't afford to keep ignoring the big guys, and the cultist would be safe from shooting and was still within scoring range of the objective! Awesome!

Well, the round of combat continues. The maulerfiend fails. The helbrute scores one wound leaving the dreadknight with ONE wound left. The noisemarines' krak grenades fail to find their mark. Guess that's it....


WAIT! The cultist charged in! He gets his two attacks! With a 4 resulting in a hit and a SIX!! to wound, the dreadknight rolls his save...

and rolls a 1. The cultist slew the dreadknight!

Now I know the cultist wasn't the cultist champion, so he lacks the Champion of the Gods rule. But just because, since he slew a character, I decided to roll on the table anyway just to see "what if?"

Wouldn't you know it... 6 and a 6, that cultist became a DAEMON PRINCE!!! for his glorious intervention in the combat!

Epic, truly epic tale of the random cultist that won the day and was aptly rewarded!

Back in 5th I had Mephiston perils 3 out of 4 psychic powers, then die in close combat with Tau Stealth Suits turn 2. My opponent said it was pretty awesome....

One time i had a Interigator chaplain in terminator armor Save 8 4++ saves in a row!

another game against some eldar, i set up the perfect combo. my black knights hit a 20 man guardian squad with a rad grenade, and my banner of devastation buffed biker squad wiped the T2 eldar off the table!

My riptide punched the wang off of a bloodthirster this weekend. I was thrilled, the othee dude, not so much

My Necron Royal Court consisting of an Overlord, 5 Lords, and Zandrehk on subsequent turns trounced (losing just two lords):

Turn 4: Dante, 5 assault marines, 5 banner assault marines
Turn 5: 21 death company, chaplain
Turn 6: 7 terminators, one terminator chaplain, one terminator librarian

I had a Medusa fail for 3 turns to kill a some Marines in cover, then on turn 4 it pivoted 90* and killed Abadon. who was sneaking up behind it after wiping out a Guardsman blob.

When one ork shoota boy took out two of my mate SM termies in one turn singlehandedly...

The look on his face

Years ago, when all this was fields and people didn't hate GW, (i.e. we're talking 2nd edition here, circa WD 200ish) I had an awesome result against a friend of mine. Poor guy, it was his forst intro to the 40k world, and it did not go according to plan. I'll set the scene, and go over a few things for the less veteran amongst us.

500 points a side, merely a tester for my new Chaos guys with a few Ork (well, Gretchin, the old pointy helmetted ones) allies. I had a Sorceror, what would these days be a Havoc Squad and a few Grots. My friend took a Chaplain, a Terminator Squad and a Rhino. (Back then you could squeeze TDA into a Rhino)

Now, in those days, a Chaplains Rosarius contained a Conversion Field, which turned the energy from shots into a blinding flash of light (Not dissimilar to the new Wraithknight Scattershield) on an unmodifiable (invulnerable) save of 4+.

So, turn 1 or 2, I blast the Rhino with a lascannon, splatting the driver and causing the vehice to careen out of control. Next turn it hits a rock, crashes, blows up and kills 4 out of the 5 Terminators (It was much harder to survive a vehicle blowing back then, it was basically 'dead on a 4+, no saves'). After the crash, I nail the Chaplain with said lascannon, and the save is passed. Now everything within 9" that isn't a Space Marine (imune to the flash, thanks to auto senses in helmet) is blind (WS & BS1, just like now). So that's just my Gretchin now.

I proceed to swarm the surviving Terminator with a horde of Grots, who swats 4 down (combat was more of a 1 on 1 affair, with bonuses for additional combatants etc.). The 5th Gretchin, still blind from the flash, proceeds to roll the craziest set of lucky dice in the world and actually wins the combat. He then wounds said Terminator, who then fluffs his save (which in the day was 3+ on 2D6) at no modifier.

So that's a WS1 Grot winning a combat (Which was D6 + WS, plus 1 per additional combatant and an extra D6 for each, pick the highest, with bonuses for more than one 6), wounding and then snake eyes for the save.

Surprisingly, my friend actually got into the hobby and was eventually my introduction to running an army which didn't primarily wear Power Armour...

happens all the time

My little 5-strong shooty Warrior Brood's exploits, to date:

* Killed a Bloodthirster in melee (it charged through cover with 1 wound left) just after stopping a Bloodcrusher unit in it's tracks with their overwatch.

* Shot down and indirectly killed a Lord of Change from a failed grounding check (splat!).

* Killed a 5-strong Deathwing Terminator unit (old book) in melee with just Scything Talons and their Deathspitters - two Warriors survived long enough to be unceremoniously splatted by Calgar.

* Wrecked a Venerable Dreadnaught with their Venom Cannon.


They also for whatever reason seem to have unusually good luck against S8 weaponry. I can't count the number of times where someone has dropped S8 shots on them only for the attacker roll a 1 to wound or miss outright (I recall one recent game in particular where a Crimson Hunter only managed to drop 1 Warrior after lighting them up for two consecutive turns through sheer bad luck).

Grey Knights vs. Tau
I had a Rhino that had suffered a weapon destroyed and had a single hull point left, so I was just tank shocking everything with it. I tank shocked my opponent's Suit Commander and his Bodyguards, he decided to do a Death or Glory attack with his S10 Gauntlet with his commander. He would pen on a 2+. The Rhino won.

He was mad.

6th edition, the old Eldar book versus a friend's Space Marines.

He did a Deep Strike w/ Terminators and targeted my 8 Rangers in a ruin. With 10 wounds incoming, I went to ground to change my save from 3+ to 2+. I proceeded to roll one 1, five 3+, and four 2s. Man was I happy I went to ground.

On their turn, the 7 remaining Rangers decided to deal with a Tac squad. This particular squad had 10 guys. 7 were in cover, but 3 were strung out so the Heavy Weapons guy could fire. So I focus fired. They roll their Snap Shots and only get 1 hit. But I'm on the objective that allows me to reroll ones, of which there were two - and I get 2 more hits.

Since this is old Eldar codex, the 6 to Hit was already AP1. I tell my friend "Don't worry, I still need three 4+ to wound to actually kill your heavy weapons guy". And proceed to roll 4,4,6.

Destroyed a Death Company Dread in overwatch with a plasma gunner xD

I haven't been playing for a long streak, in fact I've only played one game of 6th ed. But I ended that one game by throwing a singing spear into the torso of the very last bolter marine. And it pierced both his hearts.

first 'proper' game of 6th ed today and i took out lucius the eternal and his 5 berzerker squad he'd joined with my first shot in the game with a demolisher siege cannon. I wish i'd brought an egg cup for the other guys tears - it was emotional

The most awesome thing I've done with my Termagants was table Shadowsun and the Warp Spiders she was with on turn one of the game. All because of the -1 to Leadership thanks to getting a wound with Devourers...

The best part was that this was the first time my buddy was using her, seeing what she could do.

2nd edition I capped the guardians off of 3 jet bikes. The bikes didn't crash, they kept scattering. The bikes ended up ramming a few marines and killing them. I even had a techmarine make a run for it, but the bike kept turning and drifting at him. Chased him for 3 turns before it caught him.

Yeah, the bikes became lethal killing machines once the riders were removed.

-Matt

This past weekend at a tournament, I deepstriked a monolith on Turn2 and landed directly in front of a full wound-count Riptide.

Needless to say the Riptides failed his toughness test and got sucked into the portal.

After my whole army shot at it to no avail (rest of his army sat still waiting to get in range), my DA rhino (angel wings painted on front armour) w/ hunter-killer missile used said missile to down a grey knights stormraven (only killing 1 terminator inside, but managed to put a hull point on the dreadnought next to it). Later in that battle, it blocked LOS from a vindicare assassin and razorback to a single tac. marine holding a central obj. and withstood the onslaught from the 2 w/o being destroyed. That rhino is now an honoured member of my army and is still there when I am in need.

Tyranids vs Space Wolves, back in 5th Edition, its been awhile

Bjorn the Fell Handed vs my Trygon. Bjorn either ds or walked over to my side but he getsin Range of my Trygon which finishes eating a Terminator squad (previously shot by a devilgaunt pod squad) and has one wound left but I regen one (yes I took regen). The only thing that could stop him and he was in a ruin of course I move 6" run 3" and assault he causes one wound, then I attack 7 hits one wound failed save pen a 6 and the my opponent tells me I have to reroll my pen ... really so reroll pray pen, a 6. My opponent was my cousin proxying his sm as sw and never took sw ever again. My Trygon became a prime after that with Blue accents.

Back in third ed. friend was about to boost his wave serpent with banshees into my tau line. The two free gun drones you get with a devilfish jumped behind the wave serpent and destroyed it. Since they were blocking the only access point all the banshees died too

I ran over the the Nightbringer with a rhino once. Remember kids, NEVER attempt death or glory!

In a more recent game, a Herald of nurgle with an Etherblade took out 4/5 of a deathwing squad while the plagueridden fought the HQ in a challenge, and won. Go go etherblades! That whole game was just such a soul crushing defeat for the deathwing player. He killed a soul grinder and 1 plaguebearer. He was wiped off the table by turn 4.

I took out a cron air list in 2 turns with lucky shots from my DE.

Downed 2 doom scythes and 2 nightscythes on second turn after they came on and 3 more night scythes on third turn.

There were a lot of raider dark lances rolling 6s to hit, then 4+ to pen and then 5,6 to explode. It seemed like I just kept rolling 6s. The dice werent loaded, the rest of my shooting was average, took a while to kill his scarabs, warriors and wraiths but I won that game rather quickly with pure luck.

Last year we played an Apocalypse game right after HH betreyal was released and my friend wanted to try Horus Lupercal himself and we figure that it's apoc and he has fewer models so why not. On turn three he deep strikes in with aome chaos terminators and tries to whack my GK terminators with his orbital strike, despite it beeing twin-linked it still scatters on top of two of his own terminators, one of my and 4 bloodletters all of which he kill. The following turn the cavalry arrives in the form of a stormraven with a librarian and more terminators who dissembark and the librarian throws his vortex grenade right on Lupercal who is then sucked into the warp toghether with his entire bodyguard.

And that is how the heresy was stopped by a random librarian with a vortex grenade.

One guardsmen killing 4 terminators. He was by himself, yet made his morale check. He rapid fired at the four one turn, bringing them down to two, then overwatched the next turn, killing the final two that were charging him. He had rolled all sixes. Needless to say, this model was converted to be a Sargent.

Running my normal screen of 18 Gretchin + Runtherd with a KFF Big Mek. Rolled 5+ cover saves like a maniac. 5 Grots made it across the board and scratched their heads.

My first time facing Necrons with a monolith, my Godhammer Landraider could only see it with 1 lascannon. Using PotMS it one-shot the Necron heavy vehicle and turned it into a crater turn 1. Opponent was not amused.

1250pts of in-your-face CSM vs my buddy's Tau Farsight Enclave, heavy on the suits.
A Rhino w/Dirge Caster stopped his missile drones, crisis suits, riptide, and sniper squad from firing overwatch on my Daemon Prince of Tzeentch, and a maulerfiend. The DP & Fiend then slammed into his suits, killed enough to run them off the table.
Next turn, he moves in Commander Farsight (warlord) & his remaining suits, attempting to kill my DP (warlord). The tank shock successfully runs the crisis suits off the table.
Farsight decides to do a Death or Glory! stand. Hits, pens, and nails the only roll that wouldn't stop the rhino; weapon destroyed. Farsight gets run over, and I tabled his tau force Turn 3.

Best 40pts I ever spent.

One time my Kharn was left in combat with a single gaunt. Kharn completely whiffs ALL his attacks, the gaunt attacks back, wounding, and killing kharn. It was not a happy day for me, at least blood was spilled for Khorne.

Back in 2nd edition i had a SOB cannoness kill an entire berzerker squad. More recently, my tzeentch warpsmith killed a Riptide in close combat by himself. Also that same battle, my 20 man cultist squad killed a previously wounded riptide in CQB. Go cultists!

Most awesome thing I've done? Hmm let me think, was playing against some eldar (before the ndew codex) chArged a wraithlord with 3 ork boyz knowing they will die just trying to stall it for one turn.
Round one- pass fear test. lord kills two boyz, boy does nothing yet surprisingly pass morale. Yes!! he is stuck and can't do anything for now in his turn
Round two-passfear lord whiffs attacks,(sweet!) I can't do anything and stay in combat.
Round three-pass fear again. lord hits with one attack ( I think ok at least I held it off for two rounds of combat) roll to wound, its a ONE! OH MY GOD HE IS STILL ALIVE!
Round four- sadly the little guy died.

Dropped a drop pod full off grey hunters inside someone's aegis defense line. Shot the scout squad off the gun. Next turn used their quad gun to shoot down there stormtalon.

Let's see...
Tyranids v DEldar - lost two units of spawned Gants, he had 3 Flyers left. MVP of the game: Doom, took out a squad of Warriors with Haemonculus and a squad of Wyches with a Succubus. By himself. From turn 2-4.

Tyranids v IG (mech) - had his entire army sitting in Chimeras on a Skyshield (forgot to raise the shield (oops)). 3 Mawlocs later on Turn 2 and it was all over...

Squad of Pathfinders got charged by a squad of Terminators. Failed their morale check, fell back, Heroically regrouped, Snap fired the last two remaining Rangers, double 6's followed by double 6's followed by double 1's on the two remaining Terminators.

Orks v SM (as spectator) - Warboss (lord) had FNP within 3" of objective. Picked up Relic, the entire mob of boyz charged the SM company hiding behind an ADL.

Same thing except against a lowly Guardsman...

I haven't played very long but this is definitely one of my favorite moments.
Chaos vs Tau
I had Zhufor near two, ten man Tau fire squads. I shot three times into one, killing 3, then charged them. With my seven attacks I killed all the remaining Tau warriors. Next turn I did the same thing to the next squad and made it out alive with 1 wound left after all the overwatchs and shots I took.

Had a Callidus absolutely murder a Farsight bomb that had already lost some drones. Rolled a 6 for polymorphine strikes coming out of reserves and absolutely wailed on them with a perfectly placed neural shredder. Granted, it didn't kill the already weakened unit, but it seriously neutered it.

As if that wasn't enough, she survived their turn's shooting, (largely due to multiple other more threatening units in position to assault their Gunline) and, due to the board situation limiting acceptable movement for the overextended tau suits, made it into combat with a riptide.... And Instant Death'd it by getting two wounds through and the tide failing one save.

After getting humiliated by Tau earlier in the day, I pretty much lost it at this point. Painted an I on her shoulder in Tau Blue, gonna tally MC kills although I don't ever expect that to work out again. I only use her as a distraction, deploying her against the bomb was a move of desperation.

Lucky exploitation of tactical mistake on his part, with god-like super rolls.

I finally was able to get up to something and smash it with my Battlewagon's deffrolla just last night.

It was a Daemon Prince.

Someone's beautifully painted metal Hive Tyrant got knocked off the table, but I managed to jump close enough and stick a leg out to catch it with my foot.

Sadly, as a general on the field, I haven't had any epic moments.

When I made cover saving throws for my Scout marines when a full squadron of Obliterators were shooting at them with LASCANNONS.

Last turn of an Apoc game my opponent charged his unit of Black Templar Terminators at a cluster of my units. A single Gun Drone, a Devil Fish that was providing Fish o Fury Cover for 3 Pathfinders and a nearby Crisis suit. I killed one Termi with Supporting fire and the remaining 5 disorganized charged all the units. We decided to start with the drone and work clockwise. Drone was I4 while his Termi was swinging on I1. I rolled a 6 to hit.. 6 to wound.. turned and looked at him in all seriousnes and said "You're going to roll a 1 for your save." and sure enough, he did. My 14 point Gun Drone that came on a Devilfish took out his 40 point Terminator.

After we all calmed down he moved on to the transport and opened it like a can opener. It exploded 3 inches, hit the gun drone, wounded it.. and it failed its 4+ armor save.

Content: my 5th ed (not the WD dex either) cannoness (yay, items give her a 2+ invuln with faith) was on the wrong end of 50 lasguns, 6 lascannons, 2 battle cannons, a plasma gun, and 4 bolters.

Weathered every single shot, blew up a tank with her inferno pistol, and died to the first lasgunner squad in the next enemy shooting phase. Derp.

I leveled a paladin squad with demolition charges. Two vets squads with the demo doctrine hulled up in chimeras. Needless to say, they all got promotions.

My miracle dire avenger. Playing vs tau, got tabled all expet this little guy. Played vs different tau, rest of squad died.... Not him. Next game... Didn't die. Hasn't died since.
After a while a redid his paint job, gave him a bad a axe, a sheild.. And now he's an exarch!

Oh yes and the amazing one-shot-pen-blow-up-on-their-turn-stormraven, from my icuras las cannon.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
And must not forget the gloruiose 5 wraith gaurd story.

All with d scythes , flames IG command squad with Cato Sicarus. Cato plus one dude lives. He charges with just Cato, and I'm like bring it... Wall of death time. Hits ten times. need 4+... Should get at least 5.

2. I wounded with two. "sigh".
Then Cato proceeds to kill a wraith gaurd every turn, even tho he needed 3s then 6s with 4 attacks. I coudnt kill him worth nothing, and because he was challenging me, I coudnt attack with sprint sear. Finally he kills al, 5, my spirit sear finally attacks, and kills him. Man o man. What a bunch of good/bad luck.

Playing against a friend's DA army with my Vanilla marines (Relictors, natch). He had two Vindicators deployed on his flanks with wide open spaces behind him. I had first turn, so podded two Ironclads in behind them and penned and exploded them both with meltas.

Both dreads died on his turn but, hey, they went out with style.

I've had some funny happenings with Firewarriors holding their own in CC and then actually winning the odd combat. The most glorious was against a Necron lord (old Codex) in CC :-D My friends face was priceless.

The most recent one was my Riptide punching through two LRBT, then a Command squad, then a Mortar team. Who said Tau suck in CC?!

Note - it was more a desperate measure as I had nothing to hurt his front AV!!! Turned out Riptide is pretty bad ass against tanks!

Playing Tau vs CSM

Deep strike a unit of Stealth Suits behind a unit of 2 dreads, pop one with the fusion gun on the way down, damage roll of a 6, his turn he turns with the other dread and unloads (thats ok, i dropped into cover so I will take the 2++cover. The problem is, I am only a few inches away (I kinda figured they would cause some damage then die). Dread charges, easilly makes the charge, overwatch, 1 fusion gun is the only thing that can hurt it, 6, 5, 6, 2 x dreads for the unit......turn 3, LR with termies inside, pops, immoblized...they make a stand but ultimalty die as the termies eat them alive in close combat.

my best moment: I'll set the scene:

It's turn 7
A lone nob from a trukkboys mob is falling back across the board.
a unit of wraithguard (old codex) are holding an objective, but have strung out to get in range of my army. only one model holds the objective...

my nob rolls double 1's and regroups.
diving through the air dramatically, he fires a potshot at the unit, and scores a 6 to hit - it's precise, lands on the one guy holding the objective...
he rolls a 6 to wound...
the eldar player fails his 3+ save...
and his re-roll due to psychic shenanigans...
And his feel no pain...

the game ends, instead of losing by 2 points, orks win by 1.

viva-la nob!

Orks vs CSM

19 gretchin were staring down a daemon prince. Fired all their dakka....Caused 2 wounds. Prince charged, grots overwatched....caused the other two wounds to kill it.

Stormboy squad with nob,PK, and bosspole get hit by demo cannon. All but nob and 1 boy die. roll leadership , bosspole kills the last boy to pass. Nob Smashed da vindicator next turn, got charged by a chaos sorcerer...and killed it too.

Orks vs GK
1st turn: Draigo and termies in a land raider. SAG #1 fires first round and bullseyes, rolled 5(ap2 gives it +1) causing it to blow up. second sag aims at them: and bullseyes. My opponent gave up....I used two different sets of dice btw.

I've had this kind of crap happen to me all of the time. For example, my Trygon gets rushed by a squad of Fire Warriors, who promptly beat the Trygon to death in CC.

I lost a Devastator Squad, an Assault Squad, and a tooled up JP Captain to a single Terminator with a Reaper Autocannon. He charged the Assault Squad and broke them, causing them to flee off of the board. He then charged the Devastator Squad, breaking them and causing them to run as well. And THEN, when I counter-charged with the JP Captain (he had a Relic Blade; I thought I had this), the Captain whiffed and then was instant-deathed.

No yeah, CC Tau is the new meta.

My favorite moment was back at the end of 4th.

I had my all infantry guardsman army(FOR THE HORDE). I had a unit of guardsman that had been reduced to one man. He had made his last man standing check and leadership check.

He then rapidfired at abaddon and body guard squad, killing a terminator. His havocs on his turn then failed their target priority test and shot all their missiles at him. He then passed his cover save, protecting one of my heavy weapon teams from annihilation. He then in his feeling of invulnerability charged abaddons retinue and was promptly cut to shreds.

Still fun times.

In 5th edition I had a unit of 6 Khorne Berzerkers wipe out 3 units of grey hunters all at 8+ and a rune priest and then go on to kill a unit of long fangs.
Blood for the Blood God!

Khorne didn't care from where the blood flowed, as he made my opponent botxh all of his saving throws.

Back in 2nd edition i had a SOB cannoness kill an entire berzerker squad. More recently, my tzeentch warpsmith killed a Riptide in close combat by himself. Also that same battle, my 20 man cultist squad killed a previously wounded riptide in CQB. Go cultists!

Yeah, that was MY zerker squad. I still have to pay you back for that. I was rubbing my hands with evil glee as my zerkers came onto the field in dense city terrain. I knew I had this game in the bag. Then along comes Cannoness Helena with her stupid power sword and rolls brilliantly while I roll terribly and she slaughters most of my squad. Next turn, an immolater rolls up and burns the few survivors. It was quite humiliating.

I managed to kill a 5 wound wraith knight in two rounds of a challenge with my bare bones plague marine champ the look on my opponents face when he missed and failed to wound was hilarious. And to put icing on the cake he became daemon prince for his actions.

I was playing against Demons, and my opponent was near tabling me with my space marines, i had two las/auto preds, and a single space marine scout left.

He had a whole unit of seekers with a herald, and two plague drones of nurgle, each with one wound left, i had killed his troops, but to win, i had to get that scout onto an objective, and the game had to end.

My scout makes his one attack +4 to hit, 5+ to wound, he fails his 5++, plague drone dies>
Scout then makes two 4+ armor saves

Plague drones die to demonic instability

Scout consolidates 6 inches onto my objective

game ends on the dice roll, I win....My jaw hit the floor

He was promoted, and proudly bears kill marks now.

Odds of this happening? About 1/200

Well, I once disembarked Ghazgul, a runtherd and 10 grots from a stompa, then shot at some chaos terminators, Ghaz killed none, neither did the runtherd, but the grots killed 3!

was doing a quick game with the new apoc rules with my friend. He outflanks his hellhammer to dislodge 10 guants on an objective. First blast kills 7. Other 3 survive, don't move. Second blast whiffs, only kills one. Third blast whiffs, none die. Forth blast whiffs, none die. The game's still ongoing but he's getting pretty annoyed.

I had a squad of 5 plague marines with 2 melta guns: Blow up a battlewagon, charge and sweep the burna boyz inside, charge a grot squad holding a back objective, wipe the squad, and finally the Sargent turned into a Daemon Prince just before the game ended.

Nurgle was very pleased.

Tau etheral killing a sanquinary guard and later in another game a tyranid shrike in melee is pretty boss.

I once took a chance shot against a land raider full of bloodclaws with an assault cannon on an obliterater...
Got 2 hits, including a 6 for a rend... Followed by another 6 making it strength 9... Then another 6 for a pen... And then... you guessed it... another 6 to explode the tank.!!
The resulting explosion also killed 5 of the bloodclaws inside. Needless to say that lone oblit was my MVP of the game and left a very annoyed opponent, and a big grin on my face.
I also won 12 points to 4 in purge the alien

Whilst an epic tale, and one to tell the grandkids one day, you may want to get your opponent to take a closer look at his Codex: Wraithknights aren't characters (not even if used as the Warlord in an Iyanden supplement army), and so cannot be challenged and won't give you a Boon roll...

Back when Fire Dragons had 4+ aspect armor, I had a squad that had an epic game:

Turn 2: hop out of transport, explode Vindicator Tank

Opponent shoots everything at the Fire Dragons, with incredible luck 3 of them are left standing

Turn 3: move forward, kill 2 land speeders with 3 melta shots

Opponent shoots the Fire Dragons down to just the Exarch

Turn 4, 5, 6: Exarch proceeds to make an amazing number of armor saves, continues on to fry several marines, and ends the game tied up in assault with a tac squad using the old "fist of hatred" power or whatever it was that gave him a Str 3 Lightning Claw

Exarch never died through the game, helped his squad kill several vehicles, and tied up a tac squad at the end of it all; still ended up drawing that game, but it was entertaining

This happened against me, yesterday.

Running my circus/Hounds list against Orks. Playing the mobility game, keeping him boxed in his deployment zone. Kill pretty much everything but one last Boyz mob behind his Aegis. Whittle it down a bit with FF/Enfeeble. Land a Prince and prepare a charge to finish him off. 4 hits on overwatch. 4 wounds. I roll "2, 2, 1, 1" for armor saves. Reroll the 1s. "2, 2"

Only gave up two KPs in that game (it was objectives). One was a full health DP to overwatch fire. Sigh.

Guardsman Marbo, dropping him right on top of an injured carnifex (4 wounds left). Wounding with pistol first shoot phase, then charged by the carnifex during the nid assault phase. Managed to kill in close combat. This happened during a campain, so I chopped the blade off his knife and gave him an end of a scything talon as a trophy.

Back in 5th my Tyranids vs my friends Tau
He set up his army in a giant defense line and put his Ethereal safely behind it as close to his table edge as possible. It was also right next to some area terrain. Had my lictor pop out and crunch him in turn one. His army seemed to fall apart after that.

I think what made it so great is he thought he made him as safe as possible and before he knew it he was gone

Most Awesome Thing I Had Done to Me was when there was a lone guardsman who charged my Fortuned Avatar and ended up punching my Fortuned Avatar to death when my avatar had two wounds left.

The Eldar Dream stack of Divination (before recent codex);

Eldrad in a unit of DCannons.
Got Perfect Timing
Got Prescience
Got Misfortune
Got a 4th power that does not affect this story

Nearby Farseer.
Got Doom
Got Fortune but, that didn't matter here

Enemy deep struck 10 fully kitted-out mixed DA Terminators with Storm Shield guys in front close enough to guarantee assault next turn.

That squad got Misfortuned, Doomed and my DCannon squad got the re-roll scatter (Prescience) and Ignore Cover (Eldrad + Perfect Timing).

All 3 DCannon templates landed in a way that allowed me to get 21 S10 AP2 ignore cover hits (plus Eldrad's pistol shot to add insult to injury)

All of my opponents DA Terminators went right back in the box (to be fair, he only had 3 Storm Shield guys)

Lone Ork Loota deciding to take a pot shot at a Doom Scythe that was giving my orks a lot of trouble.

Rolls a 1 for number of shots. Rolls a 6 to hit. Rolls a 6 to pen. Doom Scythe evades, and fails save. I roll a 6 and destroy it.

Henceforth said Ork has been known as Sniper Ork and he walks the galaxy spreading fear and leaving only ruined flyers.

Back with the old Space wolves codex and old ork codex. We're playing a combat patrol. he has 15 tooled up blood claws and a small unit of 5 grey hunters. I have a looted basilisk and have managed to squeeze 9 rokkits into my force.

Turn 1 i fire into his bloodclaws with everything. My rokkits get 9 hits out of 9!! and all wound. the basilisk also direct hits and kills another 5 with 5 hits. They werent in cover and that single shooting phase won me the game. For the record that is a 0.00000132 chance of that happening (about 1 in 758141!)

Orks vs. CSM

I have my Big Mek in the corner of the board firing off his SAG at any chaos that moves. I rolled boxcars on the strength two turns in a row annihilating a few characters and infantry squads in one fell swoop.


Orks/IG/Necrons vs. Ultramarines/BA/IG/Eldar (APOC Game - last Sunday in fact)

I'm running Green Tide ('Ard Boys) with Ghazghkull and Mad Dok thrown in for effect. Whole army has Cybork thanks to the good Doktor. So the tide winds up being the subject of Mork and Gork knows how many template weapons being thrown at it. If they didn't get either their 4+ Armor Save or their 5i+ save, the Mad Dok was there to give them FNP. By all rights the tide should've been wiped out but my boyz kept on making their saving throws.

CCS with x4 plasma guns and commander with Plasma pistol.

CCS was in their chimera and typhus was standing alone against the CCS chimera, Another veteran squad had their chimera blown up by some termies and managed to kill them off. So the 5 guys remaining put 1 wound on typhus.

Typhus then went to kill the CCS and as he charged the embarked squad overwatched with all their plasma weapons. Hitting 6's like crazy and wounding like no other typhus had 5 saves to make between invuln and Fnp. He made one if I remember correctly. The CCS stopped Typhus dead in his tracks with Over watch.

Another instance is back in 5th my IG against my friends Nids

set up is my 3 Leman russ in a corner behind a building firing off to my right killing nids like crazy. My friends Hive tyrant with armored shell walked around a separate way so basically the building was now blocking Los to the Tyrant from my tanks. I had a 20 man blob in the building and a CCS on the other side of the table that was only alive because of the tanks supporting fire. My friends tyrant had 3 wounds left and had walked up to the building and basically I believed it was GAME OVER MAN as his tyrant could only be shot by a 20 man blob and if I didnt kill it this shooting phase it would walk around and just smash my tanks to pieces. So essentially the 20 man blob rapid fired into the tyrant hoping for a mirricale, plenty of hits, and when it came to wounds I only did 3.

I surely thought the game was lost as I coouldnt bring down a 2+ tyrant with weight of fire and my tanks didnt have enough ap2 to kill the tyrant before they would be killed in point blank range.

The Nids player rolled the 3 dice and by some crazy act of luck rolled 3 ones's. The tyrant died and my tanks moved out to save my HQ and I tabled the nids army. The luckiest game Ive ever had.

Overwatched a bloodthirster to death... with 5 cultists.

Granted he had 1 wound left.

I once charged a depleted and melta-less veteran squad (I think it was 4 guys) at a BA dread that had just run down an infantry platoon, hoping to stall it for a turn at the most and keep it away from my objective holders. This was turn 4.

At the end of turn 6, the vet sgt with power fist was still there, and the dread was on one HP. That one charge saved me the game.

On seperate occassions in 5th, I've had Mephiston and Astorath both eliminate 750 point Tau armies almost single-handed. In the former case, it was largely due to Mephiston killing an etheral, and half the army running off the board.

For SW, the most awesome thing I did was made a 10" charge on T6 against a Tau Hammerhead with 2 Grey Hunters, proceeded to wreck it with grenades, and consolidated to 2.9" away from an objective, drawing the game despite most of my army being slaughtered.

I forced a Bloodthirster to death with Eldrad in combat yesterday, I guess I was lucky that I ran for cover when I knew he was coming for my warlord.

During an apoc game my Grey Hunters dropped in turn one and popped a rhino full of marines. Next turn they shot plasma guns/cannons at me leaving me with one Grey Hunter who was falling back onto an objective. For fun we decided that an assault marine, who also lost his squad except for one, will duke it out for the objective in CC. Nothing happened until the last turn when he failed his armor save and I consolidated onto the objective and won us the apoc game.

Safe to say that Grey Hunter will now be getting a amazing paint job and a trophy or two.

Sniping Njal with a BT lascannon initiate on turn 1 was fun. But I have to say my favourite wasn't a result, more a friendly joke gone horribly wrong. DA scout with heavy bolter, shooting at my Ork Trukk. Has LoS but only through The gap between Sammaels head and sword. Us being immature teenagers we decided that if he rolls a 1 to hit it hits Sammael, who is already wounded from mass dakka. Sure enough, a 1 comes up (the Trukk lost it's big shoota if anyone was wondering). So, we roll to wound, and it wounds. You can see where this is going... Failed Sv and the new boy suddenly has a lot of explaining to do as to why he killed the Master of the Ravenwing

I had my general Necron Overlord get assaulted by some terminators and he proceeded to die 4 times and come right back up with his 5+ RP.

Finally my enemy got smart and stopped him from coming back.

I played a game where Farsight and Shadowsun finally got over their differences and teamed up for the greater good and dropped down together right in front of an imperial guard gun line armed with las cannons, 2 annihilator leman russ, a bane wolf, 3 chimeras loaded up with heavy weapons and one with his warlord. Oh and two vendettas. So they dropped down together with 7 battle suits and 12 gun drones all with stealth and shrouded. Shadowsun busted open the chemical tank 2nd turn and proceeded to wreak havoc BEHIND this guy's aegis defense line, ignoring every save possible. Every turn he shot at it with all he had but failed to kill Farsight, Shadowsun, the support suit, and one other body guard. It basically ended with me killing every one of his units on the ground except for a leman russ. I won 6 to 0, claiming line breaker, slay the warlord, first blood, and 1 objective.

GIVE ME YOUR HATE!!

I had a big game against IG and Longstrike finished off a Baneblade and blew up a Vendetta, snapfiring without markerlights, 6 to hit, explodes. My opponent decided that Longstrike would be the first to die whenever we faced each other again.

I finally was able to get up to something and smash it with my Battlewagon's deffrolla just last night.

It was a Daemon Prince.

Happened again last Tuesday. Same player, same model. He proceeded to complain about how Monsterous Creatures don't have Eternal Warrior since the Rolla's S10 doubles out the Prince's (he was Khorne) T5.

4th edition game:

One guardian bright lance shot explodes a spacewolf dreadnought with a flurry of sixes. The explosion goes out 6" and kills four terminators and 2 bikes. I have been waiting for another shot like that for 10 years. One in a million.

5th ed
turn 6. final combat. typhus has one wound left. if typhus lives, he will contest the objective, denying my opponent the win.
in close combat with some orks. they had like 6 left. all i had to do was kill one and they'd run.
roll for my daemon weapon

ALL MY RAGE
he dies. orks won.

also, another time, 6th ed, i needed double ones to keep from running away (only my AC was left holding the relic).

i jumped up and screamed "GET F&%$ED" in my silent little hobby shop filled with children for the BOGO comic deal that day... they asked me to leave, but i knew in my heart, i was champion.

5th edition - 1 solitary firewarrior shas'ui holding the objective. All other objectives are either too far away or simply contested. Last turn of the the game. I had to shoot almost my whole army at Abbadon and retinue to clear them off an objective. My single Shas'ui is staring down two Chaos Terminators that will come in and kill him on their last turn. He decides to rapid fire - two hits. The Chaos player rolls double ones for this saves... two dead termies. That shas'ui was the only troop model left on the board at games end (out of sight of the rest of his army).

I ended up winning that round as a massacre. Oh, did I mention this wa 'Ard Boyz' prelminary round? Got me into second place.

Going back to 5th I was playing DA(4th Ed book) vs space wolfs(bunch of termies with cmd and a drop pod squad with flamer) round 2 my Ezekiel model used mind worm on Logan he rolled box cars and dies rounds 3-6 he multi assaulted(3 units of terminators)into my terminator unit led by Belial and Ezekiel Ezekiel and Belial both stood tall at the end of round 6 dealing the final blows to his entire 3 units giving me a win in the secondary and third objectives

First game of 40k, playing the Dark Vengeance set. A squad of cultists is down to two guys, one with a flamer, the other with a pistol. I decided to shoot a Ravenwing bike squad nearby, and the flamer did didly squat. so, I figure I might as well shoot the pistol. It hits, wounds, and kills one of the bikers. That cultist died later and I ended up losing, but I will always remember the most badass cultist in the galaxy.

A 400 point unit of Necrons (can't remember the specific unit name) complete with a Lord unloaded on my Nob biker/Warboss unit. All that was left was my Warboss. I charged him in a last hurrah at the unit. Here's what happened:

-He took Overwatch like a champ and saved all of his wounds.
-He passed(!) the Mindshackle Scarab test.
-He won combat(!!).
-My friend failed his Necron's leadership test(!!!).
-I won the roll-off and his entire unit of Necrons was destroyed from Sweeping Advance.

After the battle I painted his bionic eye a bright glowing Necron green, as if he took it from the Lord as a trophy.

My friend went out and bought new dice.

The most awesome thing my Soul Grinder ever did was kill Eldrad top of Turn 1...hit on the scatter dice, Eldrad failed 3 Look Out Sirs as my opponent poorly placed him up front, and failed all his invul saves. AWESOME!

And the most awesome thing my Heldrake has done was go into Reserves in Turn 4, then in Turn 5 he came back to Vector Strike half a squad of Guardsmen on a 4 point objective in the Scouring, which were then completely wiped out from the Warpstorm Nurgle's Rot result, and then Baleflaming a 2nd unit of Guardsmen on a 3 point objective, who were also Burning Branded by my Nurgle DP too. That won me Game 2 in the Feast of Blades Qualifier, HOORAY!

But the super greatest feat I can remember was my Lord of Change winning me my only game vs Tyranids, EVER (I think ever). I think he killed 3 or 4 units, big multi-wound units. That was back in 4th edition on the cave terrain at Chicago's Battle Bunker. What a game!

I had a Blender Dread face a CSM DP and beat it in Close Combat with my Blood Talons!!!

A horde of khorne bezerkers charged across the entire board taking a pounding from 3 leman Russ for almost 4 turns. I think there were about 6 of them left and yet they hacked through around 100 guardsmen.
Another time my KoS killed the majority of a combined chaos and DE army one turn killing 5 terminators.

BA vs IG
I was playing blood angles and my friend imperial guards men. By turn four he had taken both objectives and seeing how I had already lost decided to charge my Assault marines straight in to his wall of death and just fall short of the charge my 2 when its his turn he decides to go over kill and uses the first rank fire second rank fire and gets about 70 shots at my assault marines and kills 9 the only one left was the commander with power ax and storm shield and he saves about 20 shots and next turn charges the closest squad and kills about 4. I may have lost the game but the look on his face was priceless when he failed to kill the sergeant

I have a single necron warrior modelled with a his fists in the air like old british boxing. I aply named him "fisty cuffs" just for fun... He is a really good boxer as he is 2-0 vs 2 carnifex's.... the first time he was the only one left in the sqaud was charged by an unupgraded carni in cover with 2 wounds left. Smacked once and wounded, failed save. He survived the retaliation amazingly and smaked the carni out in the next round of combat. (Yay lots of 6's).

The second match up, different nid player than the first, carni had full upgrades, overwatch took him to his last wound. He ate the squad, which had already taken damage from a mawlock. Fisty Cuffs came through again and laid the carni out. Woot Woot.

I no longer play crons but I kept Fisty Cuffs as a reminder even the little guy can be amazing.

Yesturday, I was playing Driagowing allied with Farsight Enclave vs Necron.

T1, Monolith sucks Dreadknight into his portal portal.
T2 Monolith sucks Riptide into his portal as I forgot to move during the assault phase.
Down 590pts in a 1500pt game.

Managed to claw my way back ending on 6 with Objectives 1-1 and lost due to giving up first blood. Had it ended on 5 i had actually stolen the win.


*On a side note. Losing the Dreadknight T1 wasn't possible as we started over 24" apart and Dreadknight moved up 12". There is no way that the Monolith should have been within 4" as it can only move 6", I think it got moved 12" and I didn't notice...

Single broadside squad using target locks againt Eldar.

1 shoots at a WS with is SS still up 4 to hit 5 to pen then he proceeds to roll double 1 for its SS and cover save then I blow it sky high.

2nd broadside targets another WS and blows it up (no SS and less cover for this 1 so not as lucky)

The drones in the squad do their part by shooting at some warp spider and killing a few.

Single unit takes out 2 WS and some warp spiders in a single turn of shooting.

My opponent was not impressed.

I have had the remains of an ork boy squad (2 or 3 choppas remaining) wipe out a full Guardsmen squad in combat, survive a round of being shot at, and then assault the Command Squad forcing them to fall off the table edge when I won combat.


Also, if it's opposite day:
I had a full squad of 20 Stormboys drop ontop of a Land Raider and get turned into a fresh coat of blood-red paint and gory hood-ornaments. Scatter 9 or 10 inches directly onto enemy Vehicle, roll 1 on Mishap table, lose 1/5th of my army.

Not a huge fight but still entertaining. At first tourney last week. I have a single remaining gargoyle charge 3 TH/SS termis. Two attacks, one hits with a 6 to autowound. Termi fails his save. Gargoyle gets flattened after but still hilarious

Grey Knights vs. Tau
I had a Rhino that had suffered a weapon destroyed and had a single hull point left, so I was just tank shocking everything with it. I tank shocked my opponent's Suit Commander and his Bodyguards, he decided to do a Death or Glory attack with his S10 Gauntlet with his commander. He would pen on a 2+. The Rhino won.

He was mad.

I guess he rolled a 1. Thats a glancing hit, and with just one hullpoint left the Rhino would be wrecked. So Im abit confused how the Commander failed...

Except a roll of 1 always fails. Good job GW

the best trolling event recently was my GK Vs IG

he had: 3 vendettas, 2 vanquishers, 2 leman russ and a executioner... I though 'I've had it'

the mission: 'emperors will' uh oh...

I got first turn, busted a chimera (strategy: we've got first blood now camp like hell )

what happened next was just well... the most incompetent IG player I have ever played , it took him 4 turns to bust my Landraider and by then he had to really rush to even have a chance of winning, even in that he failed thanks to me stalling his advance and hugging cover etc (like what you are suppose to do).

He used the army totally wrong and got outplayed, moreover he couldn't understand why I had not gone after him instead. I should have told him I had used tactics inspired by 'real life'

I run a Space Wolf Lone Wolf, with a Thunderhammer, stormshield and two fenrisian wolves. - the best moment with him i can recall are as follows:

- he's smashed up a land raider crusaider, then went on to blow up a vindicator

- Killed a Hive tyrant with 2 guard and then a trygon

people down my gaming club resent this model because he just refuses to be put down!


Had a game against grey knights - my long fang squad got whittled down to one missile launcher guy - no mater what the grey knights fired at it, he just would not go down - in fact he very slowly managed to glance a land raider to death by himself before the end of the game!

I shot at my brother's archon and his retinue on jetbikes with my fire dragons, all of my guns were out of range apart from my exarch's firepike (this was 5th ed before pre-measuring). I hit, I wound, my brother attempts to save on his shadow field... he fails, I instant death his Archon. My fire dragons were the unit of the match ...

Except the rule that a roll of one always fail is only applied to characteristics tests, for vehicles you can either roll under the AV, which fails, equal which gives you a glancing hit and over for a penetrating hit. So S10 will always damage AV11 vehicles as long as you hit.

Ok, so there I was... couple of weeks ago, up against my buddies "new" Tau with my Khan/Scar list...

Highlights of the day included:
- alpha-striking 'Dread-Pod' and outflanking Land Raider were able to Immobilize and Destroy Railgun on one, and Explode the other Hammerhead, respectively, by turn 2!
- outflanking 'Stern-Back' successfully tank-shocked his Broadside team off the board, and...
- infiltrating 20 strong Kroot Squad; broken and falling back from fire inflicted by Typhoons & Bikers in previous turn, charged and massacred by 4 little scouts with pistols on turn 3! (oh yah, and Snipers actually put 2 wounds on his crisis suit "Shas' Wennie" or whatever Warlord dude too!)
- freshly de-barked Assault Termies withstand insane volume of fire on Tau turn and ridiculous overwatch/supporting fire on own turn(all hail the Storm Shield!) to charge 9" into Riptide, dealing 4 wounds, causing him to run like a ! Meanwhile, Stern Guard and Razorback mow down Stealth team hiding on objective turn 4!
- and for the coupe de gracy Khan, in a series of turns, rides onto the field and (a) chucks krak down the hatch of immobile Hammerhead (for good measure!) BOOM! (b) intercepts and charges fleeing Riptide, landing 2 wounds of 6 with mighty Moonfang of which he failed one save for and suffered instant death! And (c), last but not least, carrying the severed little blue Xenos robo-freak head of their fallen champion Khan charged into the Pathfinders on last held objective, destroying them in a single handed Sweeping Advance... WOW!!!

Rather than accept the heretics surrender, The Master of the Hunt, bloody trophy in hand, pulled back to the ship and nuked the tainted planet from orbit... it was the only way to be sure! (ok, I added that last part!) Truly the most complete, perfectly executed victory of my "carrer"!

I played a game today with Ultramarines against necrons. A single tactical Sergeant with a PS and PP took out a necron Overlord, who got back up only to be smacked down again, and then shot the last wound from a Destroyer lord, who learned from his commander and decided it would be better to stay dead than face Sergeant Solinus one more time.

Never believe them when they tell you not to upgrade Tac sgts...

In the same game, a Flamer Tac squad with Libby in a pod came down T1, and hit a unit of scarabs and 15 warriors. Two failed Ld tests later, and I had 2 KP and First blood as they ran for dear life (death?). Best Drop Pod assault I have ever seen.

I was playing Nids against a Space Wolves player. I pinned his entire army for three turns. Then proceeded to wipe him from the board on turn four at a total loss of about 75pts of my 1500 pt list. THe lost models were ones that I fed to him in the hopes that he would feel better about the game. He didn't.

I had three squads of Deathwing come in by deep strike come I'm right on the money in the other players deployment zone very close to the table edge and their models. Took heavy weapons fire from long fangs and hits from a riptide and hammer head made all my saves and took the objective. A great moment for the Deathwing and a very fun game.

I was about to get flanked by my opponents very mean demon prince that would easily wipe my Manticore and Hellhound then fly into my blob squad. I took a chance and fired a demolisher cannon at it. Didn't scatter, (which for me is notably rare) and he failed his 2+ cover save causing ID. Which allowed my Manticore to detonate 2 of his DE transports next turn and the Hellhound to practically wipe their contents as well.

Sweeped 3 riptides? With 1 Daemon Prince. They lost combat and I rolled a 6. DAMN I LOVE I9.

*Swept (sorry I'm just being anal )

Back to the glory days of 2. Ed.
I had just bought the brand spanking new Predator Annihilator and was thrilled to see what mayhem it would unleash on my regular opponent who played DA Ravenwing.
He had first turn and drove his bikercaptain up next to my new tank, threw a Vortex grenade at it, making it dissapear in the Warp without so much as moving a millimeter.

I got pretty miffed at this, but saw my opening for a beautiful and vicious revenge move as his captain was now very close to my Librarian who had the psychic power Assail (which could be used to pick an enemy model and move it 6" in any direction).

Lets just say that his bikercaptain and my Annihilator crew is probably enjoying each others company in the Empyrean to this day

Karma can be a real bitch sometimes

The most awesome thing that I did with a 6th edition Defiler was.

First turn it blew up a Farseer and his jet bike squad with his battle cannon.
It spent several turns munching away at eldar.
Then an avatar, which ate through my Daemon Prince and my Chaos Lord charged it.
The delfiler spent several turns slowly devouring the avatar without taking a single wound, because every time the avatar got through he kept passing his 5+ invulnerable.

This Defiler has taken on so many things and demolished them that it is unbelievable.

Good that someone's defiler does something, because mine has been killed on the first turn of almost every game and is now known as the unlucky one. The first time I used it telion guided a scout with a missile launcher and the defiler turned into pile of rubbleon the first turn when the defiler was half an inch away from maximum range due to nightfighting.

Last edition it ate an entire squad of biker nobz with pk, it's some kind of super Defiler.

I don't think I've ever had a defiler live past turn 2.

The most awesomesauce thing I ever did with a shokk attack gun was target a deck chair unit on the bottom of turn 7 only to roll double 5's and mishap leading to my big mek assaulting a unit of scouts, challenging the serg, and contesting the objective.

was playing an apocalypse match a little while ago and came into a spot of bother. My daemon prince had accidentally gotten into a fight with a dreadnight. I was also in combat with a grey knights champion. What happened first was i killed the Champion but it turned out that he could take my prince with him and had to pass a deny the witch 6+ to stop him. I managed to pass it somehow, but then his dreadnight decided to use his scary fist thing which got to re-roll due to preferred enemy. He got four instakill hits, all of which i managed to save with my 5+ daemon save.
I had to leave before the game was finished and before it was killed. I have used him four times since then and he has not died once, but he always finishes on one wound. He's magic.

Overwatch with 2 crisis suits shooting a plasma each. Rolled 4 6s, then to wound rolled 4 1s against 2 chaos chosen ... Luckily I had a pathfinder squad in support range that finished the job.

You should model him holding a dreadknights ripped off arm while stomping on a champion.

An outflanking MM attack bike melted the tech marines for two thunderfire cannons in Big guns never tire. helped my tie the game!

Yesterday my 2 combat squads of tactical marines were assaulted by deathwing terminators, first I killed the lone sergeant assaulting the first squad with a single bultgun hit in owerwatch and then the only deathwing knight in range to assault with a second boltgun shot, that's precision for you.

Fifth ed tau command squad, 1000 points vs the new necrons, the command squad was set up as fireknife with targeting arrays, shas'o with plasma, afl and shield managed to flank the crons wipe out an entire unit of immortals with a lord, in a single round of shooting, kill a unit of death marks tesserect arc and a unit of warriors, single haddedly tabling most of the opposing army

Killed two Battlesuits in close combat with five guardsmen.

Someone did this to me: A regular necron lord (had SW, MSS, WS) hid in a warrior unit that got repeatedly whacked by TH/SS termies. Finally, after the termie caught up witht the unit (they fell back), the Lord challenged my TDA SS Librarian, and killed him (the Libby had 1W left). He proceeded to challenge the sergeant, killed him, and sent my terminators packing. He later caught up to them, and tied them down, but he was the only necron left. The score was 6 KPs to 3, with me winning on T5.

30 devourer gaunts catching opponents off guard after giving them PE from swarmlord. Nothing better than telling them im now going to roll 30 dice 3X rerolling 1's to hit and wound.

Hands down the coolest thing I've ever done was deff roll Bjorn the Fell Handed into a pile of smoldering scrap. He popped out of a drop pod next to me and tried to take out the wagon, but I saved it with a 5+ IM cover. I then turned and ran him down, scoring four pens and rolling one six. He said "Woah, I'm Billy Bad@$$, so you're going to have to re-roll that one." So I did and blew him up anyway.

The second coolest thing I've done was put Ghazzy and a full retinue of MANS against Draigo and his paladins. Every one of the unnamed models died on the spot, and 6 rounds of combat later, Ghazzy came out victorious with one wound left. It was nothing short of amazing.

Last turn of game three of a tournament I played yesterday. My Farsight Enclave was set up to pull full battle points. My Daemon opponent felt it was a good time to roll boxcars on the warp storm table summoning a unit of Plaguebearers onto his Major objective. I also felt it was necessary to fail two out of three saves to lose the minor objective. My 12 Battle Points turned into 7. I ended up finishing 2nd in the tournament with a 29 first with 33.

On vassal, test games against feared lists, just taken out a 6 wound WK in CC, with prescienced daemonettes charging, in one combat phase.... 6 rends lol. Lost one in return.

I can top that, prescienced Daemonettes killed a Riptide, Shadowun, and their drone friends...in one combat phase (although they broke and I swept them)

Moral of the story: Daemonettes rock.

I have the opposite. A single Archon took down my squad of 10 daemonettes. It would have been funn had I not been utterly flattened.

Well yeah, rending ain't got nothing on a shadowfield. Haha. That's the exact wrong target for Daemonettes =)

Don't steal my thunder!

When he's leaping out of a venom with a squad of Incubi he's damn hard to avoid! As you can imagine rending goes through 3+ saves like a Northerner through curry.

Then have no gone on to kill another WK that charged them taking one wound in return and rended that to death, currently going after the third.... There was only 10 to start! lol

The Most Awesome Thing I've done with a regular GKSS marine was to bring down the Avatar one shot as it had all its wounds.. He was the only model left of the unit with a deamon hammer and the opponent botched all his atks while I passed one wound and the psychic test .. now my hero of a GK has the avatars head on his backpack as I bet my opponent that I would won the game (if I 'd loose he would step onto the same marine as he was so pissed of and wanted revenge .. )

That's what I call double the disappointment ---> double the flavor

Assaulted a Trygon Prime with 100 termagant from four squads.

Oh was it glorious.

Nuked 3 wounds with fleshborers and the last 3 with poisony goodness.

But oh wasn't the image epic?

Killed 2 Necron Wraiths with a Fire Dragons Exarch. Round after, one shot a croissant with the same guy.

Had Belial challenge Draigo, and win. Big "B" had a TH/SS and just couldn't be wounded. My opponent was surprised, to say the least.

Killed a wraithstar unit (dlord w/mss and 3x wraiths with lashwhips) with a squadron of typhoon speeders in one round of fire. He marched it up the field and was trying to get from cover to cover. I threw my dice and he threw his dice. I gave him his moment of silence as he looked at all the 1's and 2's he'd just thrown. HAHA

My memories all stink.

I got tabled at the top of T1 by Imperial Guard templates before I even got to move.

In a tourney I didn't kill a single enemy model. I wasn't tabled out of the kindness of my opponent.

At the end of 5th Edition, my tide of 2200 points of boyz beat Kaldor Draigo, his homies, and his flying tank. True Story.

In 5th I had a Bezerker Skull Champion with a Power fist kill 4 Terminators, a Chapter Master, and 9 out of 10 Tac Marines in a single game. A different game with the same Skull Champion he was the last surviving model out of my whole army locked in CC with Mephiston. He prevented me from being tabled. Another significant accomplishment was he has also taken down a Wraith Guard in a game. He became to be known by me and my FLGS as "MVP Skull Champion".

In 6th I had a squad of 8 MoK Raptors (including a champion with a Power Axe) I lose 7 to Tau fire warriors before I get into assault, so all that is left is the champion. He assaults, survives overwatch, and for the next 3 turns slowly cuts down the whole fire warrior squad by himself, making all of his saves, and winning combat. My next turn I moved him behind some terrain to give him some cover from being killed and giving my opponent a kill point. He however is partially seen and almost takes a Rail Gun to the face, but makes his cover save and stays alive the rest of the game.

On the contrary I tried to be saucy with some Deep Strikes in 5th and impaled a squad of Oblits and my Daemon Prince (in the same game) in the rafters of a building. It sucked but it was funny to think about.

I did 6 player Kill Teams a couple of weeks ago. Orks, SM, Eldar, Tau, Dark Eldar, and IG. Since we played Last Man Standing, there were no turn counters. I hunkered down in some ruins in the middle of one board edge with 7 Lootas, a Deffkopta, and about 20 Shoota Boyz. I managed to survive the onslaught of Terminators, Eldar Elite, Ruins-Jumping Tau Suits (I have no clue what they're called) and it came down to me and the Dark Eldar (IG Stormtroopers got wiped by the DE).

After a couple of turns of Orks and Dark Eldar slugging it out and forcing leadership checks on both sides (and both of us passing), we decided to call it a draw since the store was about to close.

Usually Shadowsun drops down and shoots some tanks or something for me, then takes a bit of fire before the enemy realizes she isn't really worth all the firepower.
But in the last game I played, my opponent decided that it would be easy enough to mop up the warlord point by stomping shadowsun with a wraithknight. So he turned the knight around, jumped away from the main force of my army it was about to crush, and charged shadowsun.

Never attempting to leave the combat, shadowsun proceeded to pass 14 consecutive 4++ saves on instant-death attacks. Six rounds of combat later the wraithknight finally gets one through, and turns around to finds out that it is nearly the only model left in the army, with no hope of getting the relic back from me.

I just imagine Shadowsun standing there, the wraithknight's foot slowly sinking her suit into the ground, shouting "WHAT YOU GOT? WHAT YOU GOT?"

Won me the game right there.

I have a correction for my most awesome thing ever.

In one of my first games I had insanely lucky dice versus my opponent's insanely unlucky dice.

In 3 - 4 Rounds of combat my DCA, now this is the old 40pt Daemonhunter DCA that were more amped up then they are now...managed to slice through 5 Lightnig Claw Terminators and proceed to take out a whole squad of assault marines without failing her 5+ evade sv.

I Have never seen my dice do better work than that day.

A good friend of mine had recently started playing Necrons and was quite excited to field his newly assembled (and beautiful looking) Triarch Stalker for the first time.

He was rushing it up at the front of his line followed by a squad of 3 Wraiths. He got turn one and ran it towards my Farseer who was outside LoS behind a small outcropping of rocky terrain. Some of his other forces were exchanging shots with various other parts of army but there were no casualties at that turn.

My turn came up and I moved my Farseer out of cover and into LoS of the Wraiths. Passed my Psychic Test on Puppet Master, forcing the Wraith with his Transdimensional Beamer to fire at the Stalker. With a S7 it failed the Strength Check and was removed as a casualty with no saves. Got my First Blood. My squad of 3 War Walkers turned around and unloaded 3 Scatter Lasers and 3 Bright Lances (which were twin linked due to laser lock) into the Wraiths. Downed all 3 of them in a single volley.

That game was actually quite funny because all of his expensive units basically gave up on him (his HQ, Elites, HS all just rolled like crap and died). His normal Necron Warriors and his Tomb Blades held out for several turns against a hailstorm of fire from my army and they even inflicted a casualties of their own by virtue of really good rolls.

Was playing a 2v2 game of new 6th ED Khorne army & Necrons versus a metric crap ton of grey knights... I told them Kharne was ridiculous... they didnt believe me... aside from Kharne eating 5 of mordraks grey ghosts, mordrak, and an inquisitor. He must have had a brother who was unwritten in the fluff as an unknown berzerker driving a rhino proceeded to tank shock a dreadknight... dreadknight would pen on a 2+ with a reroll... he rolled a 1 both times... grey knight player looks at me and says "what happens now?"... I lol'd...

To the OP, great thread.

I routinely take a mob of flash gitz with baddrukk.
One game he alone took out
2 dreadnaughts
Sniped an apothecary out of a command squad
And took out a chapter champion from said command squad
Also took out the artificier captain in ond round with full wounds
My roll to hit 6, 6, 1 gets hot used an ammo runt reroll came up 6 I put them all on his captain. My friend rolls three 1s for look out sir, then rolls three 3s for iron halo. I felt so bad

Also the same game I had a squad of eavy armored nobs with painboy and megaboss. Turn 1 their trukk gets blasted. Lucky ramshackle roll, no wounds. The squad loses its last model turn7. On turn 5 every model in the squad, including megaboss had one wound left. This was a pilliage mission for CSM in tbe battle missions book so every opponent turn that I had a scoring unit on an objective I got a point. Also the game has to start with 1 HQ and two troop on the board, everything else in reserve. I had flash gitz in turn 3 (nothing on turn two) and everything of my opponents came in turn two. And this was after nob faq for nob squads and look out sir. They absorbed so much fire. I had to give them all some more trinkets on their armor and a new coat of warp'aint. Great game

Abaddon vs a Deathwing Sergeant with TH/SS in a challenge.

Abaddon rolled maximum attacks, hitting with all but one and wounding with all that hit.

The Sergeant saved all with his Storm Shield and then kicked the feth out of Abaddon, taking two wounds off of him and winning the challenge.

That was the last turn of the game and that one act of bad assery meant that the objective was contested and won me the game by one point, where he should have lost and cost me the game.

He is now a Deathwing Champion with a converted model and has killed many heroes in challenges since... Including The Sanguinor.

I've sold my DW army, but kept the model as he will be going into my new Vanilla Marine army.

My friend made 8 everliving saves on his one overlord and his other one made 5. Neither died. Neither. Died.

Not something awesome I've done myself, but something that was fething hilarious and happened to me (or rather my opponent.)

It was Imperial Guard vs Flood-slogging orks. He had 2 or so Leman Russes and a Basilisk. I was about half way across the battlefield, 2 turns away from assault. He fired his basilisk at my horde of boys. It manages to scatter MAX distance... Straight onto the commander retinue of the Imperial Guard and glancing one of the Leman's. The Command Squad was, understandably, vaporized by the single direct hit of the basilisk, while the Leman suffered minor damage (I think just a shaken or something, might not even have gotten to shoot because of it.)

Next turn, after I've moved up, the Leman Russ, still alive drives back 6' to widen the gap from the encroaching ork horde. It fires its main gun and.... Scatters straight back, directly on top of itself. It penetrated itself (giggity?) and managed to get a weapon destroyed result, blowing the Main Battle canon to smithereens.

If I recall correctly, the three of his tanks killed less than a dozen boys throughout the entire game COMBINED. Ahh.... good times.

Most memorable times for me is the few times Inquisitor Valerias hyperstone cube worked for me, once on the avatar of khaine I think its spelled? And the other was on...I think his name was Kanis Wolfborn? Pretty fun games considering!

First game my buddy and I played after the new Tau 'dex dropped and he's creaming-his-pants/foaming-at-the-mouth at the prospect of them wrecking shop.

First turn he fires, a couple of Long Fangs die.
Me, advance rhinos.
Second Turn, one gets hot, the other scatters wildly.
Me, advance rhinos, disembark Rune Priest attached to Grey Hunters. Target crisis suits unit in front, JotWW hits crisis suit and BOTH Riptides. All die.
anime fan tears are the sweetest.

1) Had a tricked out Dreadknight in cover. Gets assaulted by both the Swarmlord and a Trygon. Kills both.

2) My necrons versus a CSM army. Had a lone destroyer with a Heavy Gauss Cannon roaming, decides to take a pot shot at the Landraider. 6 to hit, 6 to pen, 6 on damage chart. BOOM!

3) Playing my Blood Angels against old Tau (5th edition). Had a single Honor Guard squad with Jump Packs and Meltaguns. He castled his Hammerheads in the corner of the table, with about a 4x4 box behind them. I say Screw It, and deep strike right behind them with only an inch between the table edge/my unit/his hammerheads. Roll a direct hit. Now my meltaguns are directly behind his tanks in a protected corner, and his tears taste delicious. No guts, no glory!

Most awesome thing Ive ever done with a wolf guard terminator(storm bolter and power sword) was charge farsight bomb deal three wounds and make like 20 or so 2+ svs and then watched as they failed leadership and ran off the board... all from a single terminator...

I like this thread...

Had two occurrences of brilliant things happening. The most recent was my Legion Praetor against Necrons. Killed two Tomb Spyders before charging with a unit of Legionnaires into a Necron Destroyer Lord and 5 Wraiths. Challenged the Lord only to fail MSS test. The legionnaires were killed and my Praetor managed to survive his own attacks and live to fight again. Managed to Kill the Lord and two Wraiths before the game ended.

Second is an old one. Had a Tau battlesuit Commander shas'o from 4th edition I believe survive 3 invulnerable saves against Black Templars or suffer instant death. I survived all three and charged a Chaplain and managed to kill him in combat. Was then charged by the Emperors Champion on the last turn and managed again to survive two Invulnerable saves or die only then to deal the Champion a wound. He didn't run but not bad for a Tau in combat.

Anyway that's my two cents.

It seems what goes around comes around. The last time i pitted marines against IG, I had some amazing luck, like passing 4/4 6+ cover saves from barbed wire, only losing 2 guys to marbo, great scatter rolls for DSers....

And then today, I send my 205 point, 3-relic (5 shot bolter, 2++ armour, many-attacks-chainsword) SM captain against 2 guardsmen in CC, who just passed a 25% test on snake eyes. One guardsmen has a melta... hits on overwatch... wounds. I have a 2++ ... so naturally I roll a 1. I would have been irritated, but A) I was winning 10-1 on VP on T3, and B) it was so funny, I didn't really care.

Today my full wound abbadon the despoiler rampaged through a squad of space marines (not too impressive) he then proceeded to challenge Mephiston and lose spectacularly. He didn't cause a single wound and was killed in about 2 rounds. It would have been funny had I not then lost.
