Death-Dealing Devastator





So I played a friendly game with my step son this weekend (he's 13) and he had the worst die rolls I've ever seen! He was firing lascannons and had 2 rolls to wound. They both came up 1's. Later on, in the same turn his 3 lascannon pred was about to fry some of my terminators: He rolls 4 dice, all 1's I was trying to keep the poor kid from getting frustrated and had nothing to do with his playing, and told him those were the worst rolls I'd ever seen, in the same turn no less!

Any other stories of pathetic luck like this?

Worst roll I had was a few days ago.

My terminator turn to attack, they all hit there attackers, 6 roll for wounds with power fist . What do I get? 5 one and just to put salt in the wound, a 2.

This was 3 terminator and a dreadnought against 6 sword brethren. The whole thing was stretch out over 4 turn

I rolled so many 1s in a game, sometimes 4 to 7 at a time, that we went to the casino to gamble on it. But then there has been games where I have gotten box cars over and over and over.

My vindicare assassin, modelled to look like Cyrus from Dawn of War 2, will roll 1, then 2 to hit half the time and rolls under average for his turbo penetrator, getting at least one 1 vs vehicles and if he does penetrate, will roll a stunned result most of the time. He used to be a scout sergeant in my Dark Angels, and they always managed to miss with nearly every shot. literally 1 of 5 shots would hit.

But damn, does he look cool while he's failing.

I also got see through dice from GW. They seem tobe wieghted rather badly; I let people who forget their dice borrow them.

I also managed to fail 7/10 saves on a purifier squad vs Immortal shooting. Next turn I charged them and my three remaining purifiers beat down 10 immortals with attached Cryptek.

I also refuse to field more than 2 squadroned vehicles, as any more will cause them all to die without killing anything in return.

Rant over. Carry on.

At tournament, my Nobz squad are fighting some Incubi in a kill points game. The incubi have killed a couple of Nobz.

I swing with 16 Power Klaw attacks including the Warboss. 15 miss, and then the one that hit fails to wound.

Ok, not an amazingly big deal, so long as I pass this re-rollable LD check then I can hit next turn. Roll, fail, take bosspole wound, fail save and FNP and another Nob loses a wound. Then proceed to re-roll the failed test and fail again.

Ok, that's not ideal, but I can call a waaagh, fleet my 30 man Boyz squad into the incubi and tie them up to prevent them from chasing the Nobz and the warboss off the board next turn. Roll for run move fail to get into charge range.

The incubi chase them off the board and I lose the game by a single KP, if they hadn't run off, I would have won by a single KP.

Having said that though, I don't normally like moaning about my dice because they aren't usually particularly bad.

I've only ever managed to score a dozen (max) hits with my Necron Heavy Destroyers, in their entire game-lifetime. And even then, probably only one or two of those hits have actually done something...

I play Chaos Daemons... I know about bad dice rolls... Usually DONT get my preferred wave (I've kept a record of it, and despite what probability says, I only get my preferred wave 1/3 of the time, the opposite of what it should be), scatter horribly all the time (unless I get risky and place them in a spot where if they were to scatter I would be SCREWED). Fateweaver usually manages to succumb to a wound (despite his re-rollable 3+) during the first turn of enemy shooting which he is present for... and then fail his Leadership check and run away like a bitch. Have to make 10 4+ invul saves with horrors? Fail 9 of them...

on the forum. Obviously

I once had a game where six of my scarabs managed to charge a venom. The venom only moved 6" so it was 4+ to hit.
Now anyway, out of 30 attacks, only 8 hit. Only one of those 8 was a successful entropic effect. And my scarabs only managed to stun the damn thing.

I just had a game where a group of Sternguard only hit 7 out of 20 shots.

I had a game the other day where a group of terminators took five wounds, for which I produced three 1's. I cried.

My friends against me in Fantasy ( his HE vs my WOC ) he rolled seven 1s in a row, and another 5 1s after that again ( and he is also my DM in D&D.. so you can think of all the funny situations )

Personally for me: 12 2s in 48 attacks with hormagaunts.... and and only 4 wounds after that...

Thats nothing, 12 Tau firewarriors rapid firing... not a single shot hit... I kid you not, somehow, every single one of my dice came up a 1 or a 3, but never a 2,4,5 or 6... I never played a game without markerlights again ><

The other day I was firing 2 relentless Psycannons at a Deathstrike Missile Launcher. 7 hits and I'm feeling pretty good. And then 7 1's and 2's later we're all laughing

Hardly the most ridiculous, but it was good for a laugh.

Serves him right

Oh yeah, I also remember playing with chaos at Toronto Gamesday and my marine with a lascannon kept missing. Next time his squad took an unsaved wound, he was the one who died.

Dear OP, I have worse rolling than that EVERY game. Many diff dice boxes and types don't help. Try 8 termie saves from sluggas and failing 4 for example.

Riverhawk, I witnessed a match similar to this where this had something similar happen except much worse. This guy deep strikes in a terminator squad near an objective to stop an ork slugga boy squad(5 orks left because they got malled earlier by a tactical squad) from capturing it (it was the last turn) and he fired at the boyz rolling 2s, then it's his opponets turn and he fires the boyz sluggas at the terminators... he rolled all sixes and when the first guy rolled his saves he got all 1s... the squad was decimated. On the plus side the boyz were elevated to nobz.
