For example I have been playing IG for 3 years. I have played at least 30+ games, and I haven't won a single game. I admit It's probably because I really suck, but still I should have won a game.

On the opposite end of the spectrum I have yet to lose a game with my FOW Gepanzerte Panzergrenadierkompanie(SS) division. Over 2+ have played 15+ games, and have yet to lose.

What about you guys.

In my first year of 40k, I had only won 3 times going to my flgs every weekend and a few times over the week during the school holidays.

But I've yet to lose a game in 2012, but then I've only played 3 or 4 games.

My worst streak was vs a buddy named Will in 40k. It took my 10 games to get a win against him. He really is my kryponite. At the store I am undefeated but vs him I think I'm 2- 12. I hope I don't have to play him this weekend bah..

For three months I lost every game I played that wasn't against total newbies. I was playing almost every week. Thankfully that ended around February.

Overall, I win more than I lose, but streaks aren't necessarily long. I probably lose 1 every 4 or 5 games.

Worst was probably in the neighborhood of 100 to 120 games.

I was relatively untried when I started with my current gaming group. They are all spectacular.
While I got "up to snuff," I got my *ss handed to me once or twice a week for over a year.

Right now, I am on about a 3-month long losing streak in Warmachine.

I once won two games in a row. On the other hand, I haven't won a game since September of last year.

(I'm not a very good player...)

My best winning streak was about 10-12 tournaments in a row at my FLGS. My worst was losing almost every game for about 4 months

With my BT I am yet to loose for now about 6-7 moths ish, playing with my 1750 point army My tally is now about 32|2|0 maybe one draw.

I don't really know as I don't keep track. I win a bunch of games, play for fun, lose sometimes when I don't care.

I think my greatest ever streak was something like 200 wins (3rd ed) and my greatest losing streak, to this day... 2 in a row.(Thanks Blackmoor & Yermom)

I first started playing my Legion of Brass (Khorne CSM Dread/Defiler/DP/Zerkers) and lost 3/4 games at a tourney. After that I won almost 20 tournament games in a row! Then codex creep put them down.

I also have a streak of losing out Best Painted by 1 point, but I won't talk about that ::twitch::

I dunno if this counts, but W-L-D I am 0-0-8 of my last 8 games.

I have yet to lose with my new Deathwing army (I have had a few draws) and am overall now 15-3-0. It's been a pretty solid run and I'm nervously awaiting the day it breaks.

However, with my last army that I played for any amount of time it had been a long, long while since I won a game. But that was with the old Necron codex.

I'm pretty sure losing 8 games in a row counts a streak.

Those aren't losses. Those are draws.

When I started Warmachine I think I lost at least my first 30 games at least. It didn't help the guys who were playing at that LFGS I went to played all the cut throat lists... to say the least, I was at one point the only non Cryx player.

My best winning streak was likely when I played Eldar. I lost 2 games in 3 years, while playing at tournments every other week, and quit the army. Most of these were 30 man events. Unfortunately, it was in a span where I didn't even know GT's existed. Based on lots of changes in 40K, i'd like to restart them, but the units I'd want to use are not the top of the food chain units. I've also found, its more fun to have a great game, then win.

Had a week where I played 8 games. My IG tank list without a loss. Went against Chaos Marines, Chaos Demons, Raven Guard, Eldar, and one other IG army. 2,000 point list:

Lord Commissar w/ chimera
Lord Commissar

Plasma Vets in Chimera
Melta vets in Chimera
Melta vets in Chimera
Penal legion Squad

Leman Russ w/ battle cannon x3
Leman Russ Demolisher x2
Leman Russ Exterminator x2

Won't bother with all the load out. This was just a list to run as much AV14 as possible. Not saying it is the best list, just, went 8 matches without a loss. One opponent said he didn't know what to place as top priority and there fore just realy tried to shoot at whatever he could.

Not sure how many games my longest losing streak was, but probably long enough to cause trauma.

My longest winning streak was 12 games in a row.

Now I'm fairly even... I'd say I now win just as much as I lose.

Does 6-7 victories out of about 200 games sound like a good winning streak?

Since I started playing 40k some 5 odd years ago, I have never once lost a game. I have forced probably about 4 draws. Other than that, I tend to simply steamroll my friends.

Of course, my last 3 games have been draws, but this is me trying to play less competitively and more beer and pretzels. Sure, 13 Possessed isn't a great thing to use in a 1 500pt game, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't fun!

Haven't won a single game in 6 years of playing and I don't even care.

We should have a game sometime XD

My worst loosing streak? Well, I haven't won a game since last summer... I'm not terrible at the game, my dice just like to roll 1's. Lots and lots of 1's.

My best winning streak was at the 2003 Toronto GT. Won my first game with a massacre, tied my second game and my friends and I were joking about how I was in the running for 'best general'! (ya right - that was some good lol's!)
Then I drew up again Phil Kelly and his Ulthwe Eldar for my 3rd game.

Somehow, I won and nearly tabled him. Then I spent the rest of the night drinking and proceeded to lose the following morning in rather spectacular fashion by failing every single armour save in the first game of the day.
Got me runner-up for Murphy's Luck award though!

Given I've only played maybe 30 games total... Best winning streak was 6 straight, worst losing streak was 3 straight, and then I had a 7 game draw streak.

I am famous for my epic losing srteek in which my warplightning cannon blew itself up on the first shot on all but 3 games. and it was around 7 to 10 games.

Worse losing streak was when I started. 3 games a week for 6 months win no wins. After that it would be 2 or 3 games. Best win streak was in 3rd ed at my LGS. Went almost 2 years undefeated, playing about 3-5 games a week. They would impose handicaps on me. When I hit a 30% handicap they forced me to change armies. After 3 armies they made me stop playing in the ongoing ladder tourney.

12 years. I many have many wins and draws but zero in the lose column when playing a 40/WHFB partners tournament

That saying there is one person I could never truly beat in the tournament in placing. He wins first overall I'll take second or third. Always one or two ranks below him.

And this has been going on for 8 straight years (and I like the guy too).

Karma. Just sucks to be me

Edit: Oh I just remembered. Years ago I was in a Necromunda campaign and my gang was always shot down in flames. I was 1win and 23 losses. Good times even though I lost so badly.

Been playing for exactly a year now. I tied my very first game, then had a cool 6-game winning streak...until I ran into my friend's footdar list. 80 guardians, Avatar making them fearless, Eldrad making everything twin-linked, banshees and fire dragons in serpents nuking my expensive stuff.

The fact that every time we play we roll Dawn of War (meaning my artillery has to walk in) and kill points (meaning I have to nuke the crap out of fearless cannon fodder to earn a single point) means I always, always lose big to him.

Lol I don't even remember my rules. I just have no interest in knowing these things.
