Yesterday I participated in a 2v2 game where it was my necrons and a friend's Ultramarines vs. Grey Knights and CSM. The GK terminators ended up not coming in from reserves until turn 3, but when they did come in they proceeded to wreck a unit of marines. They took a round of shooting from some nearby marines, as well as the Tesla Destructor, until only a single terminator was left. Just before he was going to be charged by a single Librarian, the GK player said, "I hope I don't roll perils of the warp..."

...and rolled double 6's.

So who else has a fun story about famous last words in 40K?

"We are way out of range no need to fear...."


Famous last words in any setting.

"Wait a minute, so you're telling me these are guardsmen with LD 5, and EVEN WORSE AIM? There's no way those guys can kill my Imohtekh." - said before said conscripts killed said Imotekh 4 times in a row with massed lasgun fire.

"I can do this, sir!"
-HWT Lascannon Guardsman Derp before missing 6 shots, failing to penetrate AV 10 and getting shot in the head by a shotgun.

How well can you paint scars? Every time a model fails horrible, scar him. When he dies the death of a thousand cuts, he needs retirement

"There's no way it will scatter 8 inches straight back into my wraiths" Necron player a table over firing his monolith pie plate right before taking out 3 of his own wraiths.

"Anything but..."

- The famous words of anyone who rolled a 1.

"Oh crap, that's Mephiston (In my back line)!"

Uttered by me!

"Your Doom would have to kill all 3 of my units in the last 2 turns for you to win."

He was wrong tho my Doom killed 1 unit and the other 2 broke and ran.

Almost every player who have never played against my catachan or seen me play with them: "I can pretty much ignore that punisher. It can't get much done anyway."

The lesson: never ignore a heavily armoured tank that can fire 32 shots a turn.

Well lets see we have the ever popular:

I'll be right back!

And then please don't be sabatoge( spoken as an ork player with an objective in my deployment)

Hah... Game vs Orks couple weeks ago, four objectives. Three were sabotaged, two of those in his deployment zone. ;-)

"It will be enough to wipe them out"

Last time I heard that a group of storm troopers found themselves in front of my crisis team after they failed to kill even one.

"You need 6s to wound me with three hits and then I need to roll three ones to die" my last words as a terminator player

God i hate terminator HQ's

"Ok, all I need to do is pass this Dangerous Terrain Test and I can turboboost my Wave Serpent to get line breaker...."

Gawd it was Eldar on Eldar, two Wave Serpents each. We were playing on our FLGS's Goblin Town board and we agreed that to land on the boardwalks we'd need a dangerous terrain test...

Three turns later and three of the four Wave Serpents are now immobilized and one was wrecked outright! Never laughed so hard during a 40k game in my life!

My personal catchphrase, also uttered during PC gaming.

"Hey guys, watch this!"

Though, to be fair, if I'm saying the words I already know I'm doing something incredibly risky or just downright stupid.

"So Karios took his first wound, well lets hope I don't roll 10-12..."

This has happend way to often -_-

"Ha, my Soul Grinder is totally going to nom those scouts"

Said by my friend as he Deep Striked a Soul Grinder in front of a 5 man scout squad. Only managed to kill 4 with shooting; Sarge proceeds to go 2 rounds of melee with the Soul Grinder and finally destroy it with a melta bomb. He then walked right through the explosion unharmed and strolled across the board to get linebreaker.

Gotta love scouts. Playing only scouts mostly aside from the HQ naturally. "Assault termies against scouts. Your baby marines are screwed." and my three remaining melee scouts (one with a shotgun and the sergeant had been killed) butchered 5 TH/SS termies. It was a suicide charge but my scouts failed the suicide part. Damn disobedient bastards...

Before I roll a shadowfield, I usually say "I never fail these"

The bane of my existence:

Anything but a one!

That statement alone has had me ban the use of plasma weaponry in my army on occassion.

I love it. I'm currently playing in a 750pt tournament with some friends and I threw in a bare-bones scout squad to fill in points and give me one extra scoring unit, I figured they wouldn't do anything. That's the unit that killed the Soul Grinder.

The same scout squad, in a Relic mission in the same tourney, infiltrated and ended up charging a squad of 7 lootas. My friend rolled a 3 for his D3 shots, said "Yeah, overwatch is going to murder those guys." Fired 21 shots at the scouts for 5 hits, resulted in 4 wounds. The last scout (not even the sergeant mind you)? He made the charge and fought the lootas for 3 full rounds of combat before killing one and routing them right off the board. THEN he ran all the way across the enemy deployment zone and bolt pistoled the ork carrying the Relic on the last game turn, winning the game for me.

Everyone present agreed that scout had definitely earned his power armor.

"I'll make the charge. I only need 3 inches"

Happens EVERY time.... 6" auto-engage needed imho...

"Your Whirlwind is useless now!" quoted a over confident IG player after destroying all of my weapons in a desperation maneuver to screen what I have left in a squad of troops to hold an objective. Next turn I proceeded to tank shock his Basilisk off his side of the board.

¨WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!¨

"Are you really going to tank shock my avatar with your basalisk?"....

As he failed to stun me and I ran him over.

Lol..."of course I'll death or glory it"

Me and my friend where playing a space marine vs Imperial guard match. He had some tactical squads, some other marines and a land raider. I just had like 3 squads of like 60 I think, 1 sentinal with a lasgun, 1 chimera and a hell lot of mortars

My friend-"I have got this match easy with my landraider"

Me-"Roll all 6's destroying the landraider with my lascannon sentinal"

My friend-"GG"

"All you have is Lukas and 3 Wolf Guard term against my defiler and Abbadon who is in the assault with Lukas give up"

(abbadon kills Lukas, last laugh he rolls 1, CML kills defiler)

"see you next Friday then"

"shut up"

''Fortune favors the bold''

And then my Grenadiers splattered themselves on a wall after grav-chuting out of a valkyrie.
