Me and 2 friends where playing a friendly game where I had IG and 1 of them had SM the other was using Tau.
I teamed up with my SM friend together we had 1000 points and 1k of tau, we agreed that you could benifit from your ally(Powers). Like IG can give orders to a SM tac squad. Any why he had attached his captian to my CCS which had a commie in it..
Later in game they got assualted by kroot failed leadership commie exicuted the captian because he had higher Ld.
Now his new name is Mc. Blaaam!!

Archon and Succubus killed in CC by FIRE WARRIORS. You heard me right. I think I rolled about 11 ones on to wound rolls.

For someone else I know, he rolled 2 6's for his paladins invulnerable (Each with one wound left) and rolls a one for an armour save for a Bolter.

Hmm.... I would say my models always die pathetically by terrain.

Well the thing is, the terrain we play on is just ruins, but opponent always calls it dangerous terrain.

So its like rolling 1s and die when im just walking over bricks -_-

The CoD I am playing on must have Nurgling infested ruins, because my Paladins always take at least 1 wound from DT.

However, they would rarely die. I decided avoid terrain altogether and they rarely have the squad survive.

My loyal and righteous Emperor's Champion fell to mere gaunt fire. 10 gaunts fired and I rolled 4 ones out of 6 wounds....gah

Calgar with 2 Wounds left, charges Ork Boyz, fails 3 out of 6 ARMOUR saves...

1 Devastator with a plasma cannon left, a mob of Orks 10 inches away in front of him. Fires and scatters right back to shoot himself in the face

20 Man imperal Guard squad sweeping advanced by a single Space Wolf Tac Squad member. Had the squad down to one, and he managed a charge and killed the whole IG squad.

Last weekend I had a mob of 7 boyz(that passed their morale test in the previous turn) charge a Furioso dred with one arm. Lost 2 more boyz, nob tore the arm off, then failed morale, failed bosspole reroll, lost the init. roll and got swept by a dred WITH NO ARMS.

I was vocally frustrated about it the rest of the game, and I don't care.

Long time ago (3rd Ed) so some of the details might not be exactly right but pretty much:-

Uber-tooled-up Archite (?the DE Wych equivalent of an Archon) attached to a Wych Squad on a Raider. Had to take the other guy's shooty IG squad out at all costs. Raider failed difficult terrain test, check. Most of the Wyches died, check. Failed 2+ Shadowfield save the first time it was used in the game (again!), check, so lost a wound. Nothing too unusual here, frankly, and it was even better than usual since my heinously expensive leader didn't run off the table, screaming, at this point as normal.

Tooled-up Succubus rolled Combat Drugs test for the necessary 6" charge range and died. Archite rolled for 6" charge and an extra Attack (since it was all down to her now to destroy that enemy squad on her own) and rolled two doubles... two wounds... dead.

Great.

I'd already lost another two Raiders with their expensive Wyches previously in the same turn, to difficult terrain. Opponent so impressed with my ability to nuke getting on for half of my own army in one turn, without him even lifting a finger, that he refused to take his next turn since I was much better at slaying my DE than he was... stinkin' wiseguy....

shouldn't be possible, as the most a Dev can scatter is 8" including his BS profile... just sayin'

The center might not be on him, doesn't mean the blast can't be.

My Stormtrooper firing a Frag Grenade, well, it scattered, came back and killed 4 members of his squad, talk about "return to sender"

Lost an entire veteran squad and a chimera. Because marbo can't throw for crap (he died in the chimera explosion)

Lelith Hesperax and a small unit of wyches assault a lone techmarine.

She hits twice, fails to wound both, and 4 sisters likewise fail to do jack all.

The techmarine proceeds to pimp-slap hesperax out of existence with his servo arm.




Nightbringer (old dex) drifts through a wall, not far from a partial unit of fire warriors, the last tau on the table, who are barely hanging on, hiding out in heavy cover.

He is 1/2 an inch short of charge range, and misses, as always, with his lightning attack. The Tau promptly set their sights on his melon, and blow it apart. 360 Pt badass to puddle of hot metal in one short volley as I fail 5 4+ invulns in a row, the Tau miraculously wounding with every effing shot that hit :( Good times

I recently watched Ghraz drop a Vortex Grenade and kill him and about 3 meganobs.

I've always found this to be the most blitheringly butt stupid thing that is possible within the 40k mechanics. I mean, a Leman Russ, crewed by a professional tank-crew... what, misloads? Aims the barrel straight up and wais for the shot to come back down? Fires the shot and it just plops a foot out of the barrel and explodes? That's not to mention the DS scatter and Mishap mechanics. Holy cow you'd think Eldar or Necrons would have teleportation down by now...

On topic, mine was a friend wrecking my 5 man Terminator squad. With one wraith. Over two turns. Same Wraith then he went and blew up my Rhino. This was in 3rd edition, and after I had killed all of one model in his entire army (after WBB rolls). Luckiest. Rolls. Ever.

CSM Daemon Prince charging into a Dreadnought. Fails Warptime and dies.

All of these took place under 3e rules.

In one game, a friend fired a basilisk at my models, scattered onto his ally's land raider and blew it up. In another, a dark lance took out a land raider, it exploded and took out a dreadnought next to it. Another of my personal favourites had Kharn decapitating Ahriman.

But the one that we all remember is this:
The scenario had a central objective (I think it was a computer or something like that), which could only be captured after several keys had been acquired. The game ended when someone captured the centre.
So.. 12 hours later... All that's on the board is an immobilised land raider and two space marines. That player also fielded grey knights, and had targeted an orbital bombardment on the centre. So of course it scatters onto his guys and kills them dead.

250 point storm raven with bunch of guys inside (like total of 400 points) crashes on turn 1 by moving flat out and failing dangerous terrain test due to 5 point necron tremor staff.

so much b#$#%

Oh ya, also the 240 point dreadknight kills himself due to 15 point mindshackle scarabs. Always a hoot.

Also, had crowe finally kill an overlord with his heroic sacrifice to then have the lord just get back up again (after about 4 rounds of combat). Probably laughing at the dumb marines the whole time.

No, I actually just forgot to subtract the bs

Abbadon deep strikes turn 5 takes 3 wounds from shooting, then charges in his turn daemon weapon 1....

cuts his head off

Friendly game a piece of train track as terrain, train hits you on a roll of 4+ Abbadon gets hit 4 consecutive times failing all saves and dies. (silly house terrain rule =p)

Twin linked rhino bolter deals killing blow to a hive tyrant.
(direct hit to the eye i assume).

Not a death but pathetic none the less 3 vindicators vs a monolith, 7 turns later, no damage.

Bit of a nitpick, but Rhinos don't have twin-linked bolters. I'm guessing you meant a storm bolter.

chaos rhinos do have twin-linked bolters however

They do? I guess you really do learn something new every day.

My predator get his main and only gun destroyed before i could even fire it. It still could move though and i used it as cover for my other marines.

My overlord... getting knocked down 4 times before ever swinging back. Gunfire... got up. assaulted... got up. Squad consolidated away, he got up. Then assaulted again, knocked down. Unit consolidated away, he got up again. Assaulted one last time and put down for good.

Nice and annoying for my opponent, embarrassing his warscythe saw no action :( Sadly i didnt give him mindshackle scarabs to at least do SOMETHING since he was on a barge.

That reminds me, I was playing as Guard again, playing against a Friend's Eldar, well, his Warp Spider's were charging my Guardsmen(who kept missing his Warp Spider's) by the time they got within range or a second teleport, they, well failed their rolls and disappeared into the warp, lol, so my Guardsmen were like:"WTF?!"

BT assault termie w/ TH+SS survives a Super-heavy, an IG armoured Column, 10 Chaos termies, 3 killa kans and a Stormtrooper squad. finally got wasted by...

a grot blasta

Losing an entire squad of chaos terminators *and* terminator armored chaos lord to a power sword armed IG officer, even though the rest of the command platoon bought it too. The more annoying aspect my opponent whining that he lost almost his whole command squad after his commander alone had just killed so many points from my army which of course was quite a higher amount of points than the lost command squad troops were. The only thing worse than a whiny loser is a whiny winner...

At the opposite end of the spectrum I have my titianium plated rhino. In a multiplayer game the IG player could only see and shoot at the rhino I had added to my force solely because I had some points left over. First turn 2 leman russ tanks and multple IG squads fire all weapons at it. No damage. He does the same for 3 more turns and the rhino survived completely unscathed. Meanwhile it was lighting up IG squads with its twin-linked bolter. Hehehehe
