Any funny stories about ridiculous happenings?

My 6 Fire Warriors took on a Death Leaper... and won.

Another my friend had his Hive Tyrant with only 1 wound left...
"Ok, regeneration..."

My buddy and i where playing on one of the gw modular tables at my flgs and he rolled to see if the game went on to turn 6 or not. The die somehow managed to spin itself and balance on its edge. We took some pictures with our phones, and then rerolled it.

A Platoon Officer was by hisself and took 3 multilaser wounds and had to make his armor saves. Rolled two 5's and a 6.

Leman Russ blew itself up when it targeted a unit 7in away, and the blast scattered 7in straight back.

Steady Space Marine Vet Sergeant





United Kingdom

Yesturday, 3 scout sentinels outflanked and shot to pieces my scout squad (with sniper rifles). The remaining sergeant, in order to tie up the sentinels and consequently protect my main force, charged the 3 sentinels. He managed 4 TURNS in combat, destroying 2 out of 3 of the sentinels with grenades, before he was finally squished. It was rather amusing and we decided he could have the man of the match award

Before that, i had a tactical squad with a librarian (with vortex of doom), come in via a drop pod. They landed just next to a squad of dark reapers. I decided to do Vortex of Doom (S10, AP1 small pie plate) onto the enemy. Unfortunately, it scattered back onto the drop pod and 5 marines who had combat squadded. Kill 3 marines (and they fled), exploded the drop pod with a 3-4" explosion range (cant quite remember). Anyway, that explosion put a wound on my librarian! It was a real shameful moment for marines. Needless to say, i have never taken Vortex of Doom since

When I watched a DE player with an archon swing his djinn blade, hit himself twice, fail his shadowfield roll, fail his other invun, and die, taking none of my models with him. I was on the floor laughing.

He still takes that guy. Says the djinn blade is his HQ.

I think my favorite was when Snikrot phase-punched out a Leman Russ. He came in from reserves with his squad and immediately assault a squadron of 3 Leman Russes that were sitting on the table edge, but only on one of them (the three of them were in a line, basically, and he assaulted the one in front). They did all kinds of damage, but the most notable was the fact that despite only assaulting the front Russ, the one in the rear was wrecked. Go go squadron rules!

Other than that, I had some extraordinary luck in a team game recently. Ork Kommandos sneak in off the back board edge and kick in the teeth of a Long Fang squad, after which they plop down in a crater for cover. The Necrons on the opposing side teleported in a squad of Warriors, which were right next to another squad of Warriors, and rapid-fired both squads plus the defensive guns on the Monolith at the one squad. The Kommandos made it out of there with 4 Boyz, 2 Burnas, and both Snikrot and the Warboss lived to tell the tale. Throughout the last few turns of the game, the Kommandos proceeded to do the same trick again (they punched out the first Warrior squad, then consolidated back into the crater where they soaked up another round of shooting), killed the Warrior squad and the Overlord, and the sole survivor, the Warboss, killed the Monolith after passing his initiative test 3 turns in a row.

In the same game, I had a superhero Nob who had his squad wiped to him and a handful of boyz after a few rounds of combat with Scarabs and Spyders, as well as some fire from a nearby immobilized Dreadnought. The Nob and his remaining squad charged into the Dreadnought's drop pod and blew it up, which killed the rest of the squad. The Nob then proceeded to run through the wreckage and charge the Dreadnought, which he promptly smacked down, then over the wreck of a Rhino to take out the Necrons' Annihilation Barge.

Both he and the Nob were the only Ork models left on the table when the game ended.

The one and only time I played Dread Bash against a Space Wolf player (5 Deff Dreads, 2 Big Meks, some grots to hold my home objective and 9 rokkit buggies) was the most hilarious game I've ever played. He was playing MSU Grey Hunters in metal boxes, Long-Fang spam, and had two Wolf Lords on Thunderwolves. Highlights included;

1. One Dread being immobilized, repairing himself with Grot Riggers, being immobilized, repairing himself, being immobilized, repairing himself, and THEN being Wrecked without ever getting to move.

2. One Dread being exploded on turn one, killing not only nine out of ten grots (who were directly beside it), but also the Runtherd. The last grot rolled snake eyes for his Leadership, went to ground right next to my objective, and stayed there for the whole game.

2. One of my Big Meks being tank-shocked by a Razorback, failing his morale check, and fleeing off the board. Presumably, he screamed in terror the whole way. He took my KFF with him, too. . .

3. One Dread charging forward for three turns, losing all his arms one by one but never being immobilized or wrecked, until he eventually assaulted a dismounted Long Fang squad and determinedly kicked them to death over four rounds of combat.

4. Six buggies forming a box around a Razorback and then Wrecking it with rokkit fire, instantly destroying the Grey Hunters inside.

5. One of the TWC-lords wrecking a Dread who charged him, then charging and annihilating one of the Buggy squads in its entirety on the subsequent turn.

6. On turn 5, a Dread charged a Lord , who was armed with a Thunder Hammer. Killed him before he got to swing. At the top of turn 6, the other Lord (TH/SS) zipped over and charged the Dread. It killed HIM before he got to swing, too. That Dread never suffered a single damage result in the entire game.

The game ended in a draw.

Seven terminators dying horribly under an earthshaker pie-plate... seven 1's on save, that's not a way to honor veteran marines... But my artillery crew was almost smiling under their gasmask after that.

Lost almost every unit except for a command squad with MOO in chimera, the chimey tank shocks a mob of boyz off the board, then gets blown up by lootas. Grots and the lootas try to hide behind the wreck as the moo keeps bombarding them. Eventually, the grots got to assault- everyone died except the runtherd, a couple of guardsmen fall. SO I've got my colonel and the Moo, he's got one runtherd. Moo kills him in CC.

One of my earlier games was against a Imperial Fist themed army I had a Trygon in his gun tower with one wound left and he's throwing las cannons, meltas, plasmas that are missing or doesn't wound. The last shot was a bolt pistol that shot it in the eye.

Playing Space wolves, the guy had his Thunderlord running around doing its job. Thunderlord assaults my Tyrannofex and does 5 wounds. The Tfex attacks back with 3 wound, Thunderlord has a 3+ invuln, and rolls 3 2's my Tfex killed a Thunderlord.

I had a Zoanthrope kill a Bloodthrister in close combat.

A buddy of mine plays Orks, he pulled his Battlewagen loaded up with Burna Boys, he put out the template and 7 hits, he looked at me and said "What's 7 times 13?"

For me a single sanguinary priest weathered a full unit of wyches between his armor and fnp saves. The dice gods were smiling upon him that day.

And this didn't happen to me but my buddy used a shokk attack gun for the first time and rolled double fives and wound his big mek up in combat with some GK.

One time, back in 3rd edition, one of my friends was trying out his new daemon prince. We had (somehow) managed to convince him that daemon princes couldn't take daemonic gifts, so he was without daemonic rune (immunity to ID). Anyway, he comes on the table, takes about 3 steps and takes a railgun slug to the face.

Another time, also in 3e, our 12-ish hour marathon game ended in a draw when the last two models (GK) were killed by their own orbital bombardment.

One time I had a rhino of five marines blow up, killing every single marine except one (I have the worst luck ever with my marines)

Then the other player unloads on my remaining guy with his entire army and then I proceed to make every single save, which was at least twenty. I have never been that lucky in my life.

That marine then died in shame in melee against tau firewarriors.

Not my game, but one I was watching. One lone melta SM, locked in combat with a Hive Tyrant for three rounds. First round of it the Tyrant wiped the rest of the squad. Then nothing they just stood there for three rounds before the HT finally managed to finish it off. By then the Ven Dread had moved into position and proceeded to smash the crap out of it. However the HT got one hit through causing a weapon destroyed, the marine player decided it'd be rerolled with the Ven's rule; becomes an explode. With its last wound the HT flew to the top of a ruined building and proceeded to die landing on the roof.

I have a good amount of those.

Once I was playing my CSM against a friend's Necrons. He had 3 mololiths and I was having real pain to destroy them, until we realised the best unit to destroy a monolith is... another monolith. Gotta love scatter dices

In another game, I managed to kill his Draigo with just a few plasmagun shots before using my vindicator's combiflamer... In that same game, he got one GK crushed under my rhino's tracks because he refused to run away.

And in another game, it was me against his GK and a common friend's BA. That friend got 9 marines dead (in a squad of 10, and a chaplain who was with them) under my blight drones' fire, but that marine, who had a meltagun, survived to the end of the game under my drones' fire and destroyed them...

Oh, and once my chaos terminator lord survived to not lose any wound to 40 gauss flayer shots (and they were the old ones), but after that he got vaporised by a C'Tan ray.

I had a shield drone fly suicidally into my terminator's helmet. The impact was so powerful the terminator fell over dead and the drone kept going hard. It was just one of those days...

Another time I had a bloodthirster fly into dangerous terrain. Rolled a 1. He's a big monster, has move through cover...rolled a second 1. Okay, he has an invul save. Rolled a 3. Kairos is right next to him, lets try that again. 3. Bloodthirster faceplants into the dirt and doesn't get back up. Stupid bloodthirster. He almost became a smear on the gaming store wall-I was very pissed. I can laugh about it now.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.
