I was playing a small 500 point game against necrons this was the old necron codex mind you. I believe the unit was called a cryptech? Idk, but he was using it to teleport his one unit army across the board constantly. Finally I charge with my Chaos Lord he rolls for his AOBF daemon weapon gets a 1. I say, "wow that hurts!" his squad of KBs and him still kill a few warriors and a cryptech though. Round 2, my Chaos Lord rolls again... A 1... I looked up at the roof and said, "Tzeentch is that you?" and I proceeded to take a lot of damage from the warriors losing all but one of my KBs due to some bad rolling and it being the second round of combat. Round 3 my Chaos Lord rolls for daemon weapon... Another 1.... He kills himself without taking a single wound from the enemy... In the end of the game he won because I forgot to move a rhino up to get line breaker.

Nids vs Orks with Eldar allies. Carnifex Brood charges a squad of Gretchin on my Turn 1. His Turn 7. Psychic power that removes Fearless (whatever the feth its called) successfully cast on the Carnifex brood. Runtherd deals a single wound. Carnifex Brood runs away. Gretchin sweep them.

Recently I was in a tournament where superheavies were allowed. I played CD/CSM and my list was pretty much fateweaver, 2 soul grinders a brass scorpion and a bundle of troops from both books (pinkies, plagues, cultits)

So in round 2, I am facing unbound knights, proxy knights at that, they are the giant dreamforge ones. 4 knights, 2 are FW, some +4 invul bubble DA dude and some skyfire missile thing.

I figure I am screwed, brass scorpion is awesome, but could be taken out very fast by a lucky knight combat. I got invisibility on Fatey though, so I took the perils on my turns and hit that sucker with invisibility!

Knights still somehow rolled plenty of 6s, BUT, my scorpion took on 2 at once and killed both of them. I lost the game, but really had a good time rolling a bunch of lucky +5 invul saves.
