2nd ed.

Friends Chaos Lord charges my LRBT/Demolisher (forget which one exactly) Penetrates turret armour and tears turret clean off.

Roll for turret scatter

Scatters on to Chaos Lord.

Kills Chaos Lord.

I had a DKoK watchmaster pistol whip a carnifex to death, It was a dakkafex and I figured it'd be best to charge it, rather then let it shoot again.

Opponent loaded every expensive CSM he could cram into an imperial bastion. My unit of 5 BA with powerfists (can't remember what the unit was supposed to be) punch the bastion until it explodes (hey, it was in the rules. Dice say punching a bastion makes it explode), killing everyone inside in a single turn, and leaving my marines standing atop a pile of rubble like cheezy movie heroes. Needless to say, he was not happy.

While turning our backs to eat some pizza during a recent game, my house rabbit got onto our gaming table and starting eating some of the cardboard scenery. Since then we always pretend we're fighting on a death world with gigantic local lifeforms.

No models were harmed thankfully and the scenery looks even better for the additional 'battle damage'

It was in 5-th edition. I was playing footslogging orkses - 30 strong choppa squads with pk bp nobz.

The opponent plays space marines and has a bunch of TH/SS termies with a TH/SS captain in a landraider crusader - great combo back than. The guyz charge what remains of footslogging orks after a couple turns of shooting and murderise everyone but nob. Nob turns away to run and accidentally chops terminator captain in half on the move. Runs away and on the way to the backlines manages to glance a landspeeder with a slugga shot. Than goes off the board.

Next game against sm once again. The opponent has an expensive librarian with a stormshield and an assault-oriented squad. He charges the boyz and murderises all but nob. Nob turns away to run and accidentally chops librarian in half on the move. The squad doesn't manage to catch him in sweeping advance. Runs away and goes off the board.

It was the same nob. Next game i've fielded him as a blood axe warboss.


One of my favorite 7-th moments was when the imperial knight got blocked off by a single grot. If he chose to shoot this phase, he'd have to stop his advance cause to charge a grot he'd have to shoot at him too and even a stabber is quite likely to kill off a t2 gobbo without armor save. So, he wouldn't be able to charge noone. If he chose to charge the grot, he'd have to forego shooting and waste the whole phase on killing a single freaking grot!

Here's a batrep about this fight

Fenrissian rabbits!

My squad of Tactical Marines shot down a Flying Hive Tyrant and scored two wounds with one bolter shot. He failed his armour, his feel no pain, his grounding test, his invulnerable, and then feel no pain again. The ML Devs then finished it off.

In a game of 5th, my Lord Commissar led some scraps of infantry I had left, with 1-2 Marines and a handful of Guardsmen, and then routed and destroyed a platoon of 30ish Guardsmen they charged.

That said, I've been on the receiving end. A few months back a Chaos Raptor Champion killed my blob Priest in a challenge, I failed morale, and the whole blob of 20 got swept by one model.

My Company Commander pistol-whipped a flanking Jetbike Eldar Autarch with the instant death, S6 AP2 super-sword thing, and didn't die.

His entire squad had been wiped, but my Dire Avenger Exarch with Twin-Linked Shuriken Catapults finally killed that Daemon Prince of Nurgle with Black Mace.

My opponent was not happy.

A Space Wolf scout squad (back in the day when even the Space Wolves scouts were mere pups learning how to hold a knife properly instead of being grizzled veterans who want to die, as expressed by taking more flimsy armour instead of bigger, better suits) is charged by three Chaos Terminators. Needless to say, it became a massacre, except for one very tenacious scout. He made his attack, scored a hit, and wounded. When I say "back in the day" I mean back in the day. The Terminator had to make his armour save of 3+ on 2d6. Snake-eyes!

So, next round, as the scout stood his ground, the remaining two Terminators mad a boatload of attacks, which either missed, or failed to wound. Out comes the trusty scout knife. One hit, one wound. One failed 3+ Terminator save on 2d6. And then the remaining Terminator broke, and fled...

I actually made a special character out of that scout. Named him, gave him Terminator armour and allowed him to accompany the Wolf Lord as a part of his unit. Paid full Terminator price even if he did have lower Scout statistics (Terminators had WS5 and BS5 then). Never had a single player refuse the special character too. Every opponent I had (barring tournament play, of course) was ever so impressed by the saga this young Wolf had already written for himself.

Probably never to be forgotten, this. Remember until the Wolf-Time.

Had my own Deathstrike named as my opponent's MVP .....

I made it fire danger close at hordes of Demons and CSM encroaching upon my battlements (I run a Fortress of Redemption). The blast scattered and landed bang on my fortress.

Two whole sections detonated and killed everything inside (40 veterans gone in an instant), and a third section (the main tower) took some damage and my men tried abandoning the fortress from the top (none survived the fall and added another 10 veterans to the casualty counter).

My front-line was effectively removed and left me completely defenseless. Needless to say, I lost

Had a Trukk survive the first turn of shooting VS a necron army.

it gets better.

i than tank shock a full strength warrior squad, at an angle to prevent the cryptek from attempting DoG. they FAIL the leadership test. they fall back 3 inches. my trukk had 5 more inches so I succesfully pull off a double tankshock. they fall back another 12in. the board edge was only 11 away.

I got a new and better one. On a game I played last week it was 3 vs 2. SM (iron hands), SM (raven guard) and Dark Angels vs Space Wolves. I had my Space Wolves Rhino just riding around after it drop off a Grey Hunter squad and it lost its stormbolter so i was gonna troll line of sight with it. The iron hands Chapter Master on a bike with the Shield Eternal, TH, and AA charged it in combat and did two pins but rolled snake eyes so nothing happened. Than when it was my turn again I tank shocked the CM, he did for death or glory, he failed his LD test and with that my Rhino scored warlord,

I had a rather smug moment back in 6th.

My IG/Chaos Marines vs a guy's Space Marines. His main force comprises of a squad of Vanguard + Chapter Master arriving in a Drop Pod. The Master is armed to the teeth with dual Thunder Hammers.

Pod lands, the Master splits from the Vanguard, then decimates a squad of Guardsmen in assault. My turn comes around, and I manage to neutralise the Vanguard, but I still have to deal with the Master.

My Psyker, attached to a Plasma Command Squad, casts Enfeeble onto the Master, reducing him to T3. He points out that it was apparently pointless, as plasma was already wounding him on 2+, so what's the point in casting Enfeeble?

I counter by reminding him that since he's now T3, my S7 Plasma Guns will cause ID...
He was pretty surprised, and rolled his 4++ Invuln saves one at a time, but with 5 wounds to roll against, he really didn't have much of a chance.

Small moment, but I was pretty smug about it.

Just had 3 meganobz with skorchas wipe out 5 wraith guard, 2 warlocks, a wave serpent and a wraith lord all on their own! O.o

Recently I was using my AM army to destroy a farsight enclave, I decided to bring a baneblade because why not? It being a Lord of War allowed the tau player to deepstrike with no scatter within 6" of the baneblade. On turn 3 they entered via deepstrike right behind the baneblade, where the immediately lit up the rear armor with so much melta that nothing was left of the tank, however the resulting explosion was so devastating it manage to wipe out his entire command squad including commander farsight.

Bad for me epic for my friend, I infiltrated Karandras and his sneaky Scorpions in some ruins as a Brood of Carnifexes pass by. Perfect victim for the Phoenix Lord and his eager Exarch no? Nah. The Carnifex brood turns and brings the devours to bear. Karandras bravely takes the brunt of the force, but the final wounds come up as triple ones. I rolled triple ones on the armor saves.... This was turn one, my morale was so unbelievably shattered at the time, looking back though it's a funny story.

On saturday, Gazzy and 2 meganobs call the WAAGH and charge the 10 cultists I'd set to bubble-wrap him.

Final result?

Gazzy loses 2 wounds, fails to sweep, and gets flamered to pieces next turn by 5 plague marines and the 4 surviving cultists.

It seems the guard can provide amusement.

Once a unit of about 8 vets were chilling in a ruin and a unit of 12 gargoyles came on the board right next to them. One turn of shooting at the goyles killed off 4. Gargoyles charge next turn, losing 4 more. In the assault phase they wiff out. The Vets procede to take kill every single one. Later that game a group of about 5 termigaunts charge the same vets who were down to 6. Kill 2 in overwatch, make all armor saves, beat down the gaunts. These guys were the mvp of the game.

Another game my buddy was playing guard, two vets are charged by a grey hunter. Grey hunter fails to get any wounds through. I than imagine the vets taking their lasguns like baseball bats and beating the h**l out of that power armored son of a gun. Lol's were had by all.

Good times.

There was one game, my Blood Angels against SM or Dark Angels. My Sang Guard w/Priest just deepstriked last turn, and they're pretty much my only hope left.

I charge the enemy Command Squad, and kill everyone except his Captain.

About a foot away to the NW of combat is the enemies Vindicator with nothing much to shoot at. About six inches N of our combat is my nearly dead Chimera.

"I'm going to shoot at the Chimera, and hope it scatters onto your guys." he says. We both chuckle.

It scatters PERFECTLY into the middle of our fight...

EVERYONE in the combat dies...except his Captain who made his 4++.

I was stunned. I just gave up right there, concluding that obviously the Emperor wasn't on my side.

My lone chaos cultist killed 2 termies after my CC chosen killed 0

my guardians had been reduced to three and a missile launcher by my friends Death Guard, and took out his Nurgle Daemon Prince with Black Mace just before it got to my ranks

Back in 5th edition, just as I was starting with my first real army, Dark Angels, I was playing against Tau at the local GW.

The Tau player had set up fairly densely close to his board edge, and had used some ruins well. Unfortunately, he had made the mistake of putting his Ethereal on the very top of the ruins.

On my first turn, I think it was even before the first Tau turn, I fired a tactical squad's Plasma Cannon at the Ethereal.

The blast hit squarely on the Ethereal's head, and evaporated him as he failed his cover save. Through some mechanism that I've forgotten and has definitely changed by now (probably some failed leadership checks), this caused nearly half of the Tau army ran off the board.

After that, I didn't think much of Tau for the rest of 5th. And I have yet to play the new, much better Tau more than twice - but don't get me wrong, I won't underestimate them now. I've read enough horror stories about Riptides and Broadsides. Plus, I've got some Tau of my own now.

Just tried to multi charge 4 dreads with my green tide. Needed a 4, seems ok right? Double 1. Re roll! Got another 1!!

Last grot in the squad facing down the last terminator in another squad.... Terminator charges gretchin. OVERWATCH! The gretchin kills the terminator.... WAAAGH!

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/639069.page

Tau turn 4 (my latest game, and also my favorite random moment of WRT, as we were both literally incapacitated from laughter for a good ten minutes or so)

My furioso dreadnought (back in 6th) sucessfully tabled the opponent by killing all his units consisting of...
10 khorne beserkers
Huron blackheart
10 standard CSM
Chaos lord in terminator armour

Huron was in the beserker squad and the opponent didnt offer a challenge so i was just like "hit,wound,kil,roll again..."(as blood talons were OP) and killed them all in 1 turn
The standard CSM couldnt hurt the furioso so i charged and killed them the next turn
I then used my furioso to kill the terminator lord
How? Using the magna grapple (i had wounded him earlier on using the meltagun on the dreadnought)
So Furioso 1 Entire CSM army 0

We played a free for all game of three players at my friends house.

1500 points each, there was Renegades (massed artillery and blobs), CSM (two squads of 20 and some vehicles) and Ultramarines (that's me, Tacticals, Assault Squad, 10 Terminators, Captain and Ordo Xenos Inquisitor).

On turns two and three the following events happen:
- I take two Hull points off of a Leman Russ with only two Assault Cannons.
- I then make a 11 inch disordered charge to wreck that LR and kill the remains of an infantry squad.
- a shaken CSM Predator rams to the back armor of another Leman Russ, taking off a HP and stunning it.
- the Renegade Chimera then rams the Predator and wrecks it (only one HP left on it)
- the CSM player rolls three sixes on psychic shriek, losing 9 models
- three Renegade Earthshakers (is that the name?) try to kill my Terminators, scattering way off. They killed 18 Renegades and wounded two of my Terminators, who both failed their 2+ save and instakilled my Captain, who also got wounded only once but failed his 2+
- my turn again, so my lonely Inquisitor charges and runs over a blob of 15 renegades while my Librarian does psychic shriek to the other blob of Chaos Marines, who then roll a six, a five and a four, losing five guys.

It was a hilarious and random game.
I think that my favourite in the hobby is from on the moment when my friend moved his Predator behind the Leman Russ.
The two of us then start to discuss wether it gets an cover save and our friend just looks at us and asks: "What S is the ramming?"

Two more stories of mine, one old, one very old (both back in 6th):

1. In a game of Planetstrike, I was invading a Necron fort as Guard, but my friend had paid for and sprung the escape hatch thing on me, so suddenly his classic destroyer lord + wraith wombo-combo popped outside of the fort near a contingent of standard guardsmen. A couple turns having elapsed, my CCS is down to the lone commander with nothing but a laspistol. He takes aim at a wraith down to one wound-- hits, wounds, invul save fails! Next turn rolls around without being assaulted-- the platoon was less fortunate. From shooting, another wraith is at one wound. Pops a shot, hits, wounds, save fails again. My gunslinger commander bags TWO wraiths with a laspistol. Next turn, he hits the DL with his pistol, but it doesn't wound. Of course, his laserpointer-pistol also coordinates airstrikes, as a Vendetta swooped by and finished the job for him...

2. A crazy, 4-way killpoint game that was Necron v. Necron v. CSM v. Guard that actually worked out fairly well. Guard turn 1 is after Chaos and one of the Necron turns, so I do all my shooting with some minimal damage. Hmm, no flyers on turn 1, no visible skimmers; what should this Hydra of mine shoot at? So I shoot at a Triarch Stalker. Just snapshots, maybe I could get a glance on it? Roll to hit with TL: . Wow, all hits. Str7 vs AV13, roll to glance: . Seeing as this was a different 'Cron player and not someone who I had played with before, I felt a little bad about having just wrecked a high point vehicle before his first turn... but fortunately this player was quite affable about it, and the game turned out nicely.

An IG platoon commander taking out his laspistol and placing a shot square between the eyes of some charging tyranid monster. Couldn't repeat his performance a few seconds later though, and got eaten by the Red Terror. Still went down swinging, though

The time I was playing a small mock battle with my bro, we were testing out how good IG renegade squads were and my renegade squad of 25 guys assualted 5 CSM (same points) the renegades killed all, but one CSM while they only killed 4 renegades. The next turn they kill no CSM and the last marine kills 1 renegade... They only rolled a 1 for their uncertain worth so they obviously broke as soon as combat was lost, so they were overrun... 21 renegades ran from a single CSM. I just imagine,

Renegades: Ha they only have one man left this is going to be easy (all of the other renegades laugh)

(Bob the renegade dies)
Renegades: OH NO BOB DIED RETREAT!!!!!!

I was participating in an Apoc game in 6th edition and my best friend next to me was playing a small Guard infantry contingent (I had a tank company).

Kharn the Betrayer had charged a platoon command squad and wiped it out except for the Platoon Commander, who broke, got away, and while he was retreating...

...snapshot Kharn right between the eyes with a laspistol, removing his last wound.

I heard my friends whoop and yell and I came over and was like "Seriously!?"
