A unit of harlequins in cover near my board edge. I successfully bring out two defilers. With their H flamers and battlecannons the only wound caused is a scatter destroying one of my flamers. They then assault and are both destroyed.

When in doubt burn it, then burn yourself for doubting. |

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.
While I agree with the DS thing, the idea with the gun scattering onto itself is that the shot goes off before it launches, effectively detonating inside the barrel. What gets me is that the shot detonating inside the barrel of the gun could potentially blow the treads off of the vehicle itself.
On topic, yet another vortex grenade mishap. Shas'o Commander with two Shas'vre bodyguards deep strikes in and throws the grenade. Grenade scatters backwards onto the commander and rips him and his buddies apart.
Oh, and in a recent game, a SoB sergeant is the last of her squad, she successfully rallies from a failed assault and prepares to shoot her plasma pistol at a lone one-wound Nob standing in the open. Rolls a 1 to hit, and a 2 for her save. What might have been a dramatic last-minute kill for some extra points wound up being a suicide.

Nervous Accuser

Eldar Avatar, losses first wound to a frag missile that scattered off of nearby banshees, he and banshees eat the offending terminator squad bringing the avatar to 1 wound in the process, took a piece of shrapnel in the eye from another off target from missile and decides to go home.
Enemy necrons viel 6" away from cortez, 3 PC servitors, 3 PG acolytes, and a jokero, who then blast away with all plasma hitting. Then i find out about the shields that bounce any made saves back at me. All said and done only one damn 'cron stays down and I'm down to cortez, jokero and one PC in the movement phase of the top of turn 1.
I have several stories of my TAU winning CC but i lost count of that happening in this thread.

A ten man Assault Terminator Squad w/ Libby, assaults a my Dreadknight. Only three Terminators (two TH/SS and one LC) make it into the fight. The Dreadknight kills one, and the others fail to wound, they break. The Terminators flee, and the Dreadknight follows and walks them off the board.

Let me yell you the story of the Gingerbread Assassin
So in a Kill Team game lone Genestealer chases a lone Death Cult assassin around for about 3 turns while Death Leaper tangles with some pallies.
Eventually the big bad Deathleaper appears out of nowhere and gobbles.him.
And writing that gave.me De Ja Vu.

10 chaos marines with chainswords charging 20 hormagaunts and all being killed except for the champion in one first round of combat. That sir made me sadface.

I'm used to my vehicles having a low life expectancy, playing DE and Orks, but some games i'd be better off footslogging from turn 1
