Apparently you weren't playing as Orks then. That's about the best tactic for them.

Destroyed my own monolith by a full 12 inch scatter back to me <_<

deciding that single combat between black ork warboss on a Wyvern and an elf prince on a dragon was a sensible idea

^^^Wrong game system, but hey.

I remember one game in my early ork days, I was playtesting shooty orks, as my friend had reccomended it. I ended up playing it wrong, and ending up in a full-on fire fight against tau in cover. I was in the open. I was also too stubborn to believe that MOAR DAKKA would not work and hiding in cover would be better...

Naw, I was playin da oomies. (My friend's old Space Wolves )

I didn't think Ymgarl genestealers could take broodlords

Damn cheater i found it already suspicious..

Tank Shocking a Broodlord (previous edition Tyranids) with two Rhinos and a Predator. That were then eaten in quick succession.

It is more than a wow reference. It is almost a cultural thing.

If you go on youtube, you'll find Halo, CoD and a $#1T l0@d of other games (probably wargames too) with LJ references.

Which originated on WoW

500 point, 3-way game.

Veil of Darkness my squad away from approaching Space Wolves, thinking I was being super tactical. Land in Assault range of a 30 strong squad of Ork Boyz.

I lost.

Have no idea what i was thinking with this list, at least it was fluffy
Fluff didn't win me any games tho

Charging rough riders into the doom of malan'tai. Infact, charging rough riders into anything with a decent invulnerable save is a pretty bad idea. At least they managed to kill some storm shield terminators, they did nothing at all against the doom.

Plasma cannoning a unit within 6'' of the firing unit. The blast scattered backwards and wiped the devastator squad out to a man.

Also, charging 4e carnifexes. Nom.

Deployed my tau in a tight defensive formation... against shrike. We should have just called the game right there instead of playing it out.

Walked my infantry-heavy (mostly power-armoured) army towards a baneblade...

That's... Smart... 'Cause Leroy Jenkins is smarter

I did something similar once. I veiled Immortals/Lord away from some a SM command squad, totally forgetting there was assault terminators in a LR right next to where I put them

Same outcome

played a tau player. who didn't know his rules. and he was changing his army list DURING the game.
Marched towards him.

Melee oriented Tau army.

No.

I took farsight, R'myr and a SHTLOD of bubblewrap (kroot) with krootoxes=no stealth.

fail.

Hard.

In my first game against chaos I charged my entire army of marines straight at him, not knowing what obliterators or berserkers of khorne were...

Ouch. Thats why you ask "hey what do those guys do" first

A unit of 5 man long fangs armed with heavy bolters in a razorback flat out up the board then jumping out to go nuts.....didn't work well :-)

That's probably what I would do in real life Hip-fire that bi*ch into the crowd and hope for the best Or snipe.. :/

in my last game of 1500 pts I managed to only take 1 synapse creature. The parasite or mortrex. One S8 wound later my army was flailing about like a bunch of six year olds at a birthday party.

Playing one of the SM battle missions where your opponent is in the middle and you surrond them, against another SM force. First mistake was actually splitting my forces so that I had units on all sides, as he just ended up killing one flank at a time.

Second mistake was having Vulkan, a Librarian, and a combat squad of tac marines alone on one side, figuring they could kill most anything that showed up (was still a fairly new player at this point). His turn one, drop pods an Ironclad Dreadnought right next to the rhino, blows it up, and I roll boxcars for pinning. Next turn it assualts, and after four assualt phases of laughing at my guys not being able to hurt it, finally finishes off the unit.

charging a lash sorcerer and my last remaining thousand sons into a large squad of about 30-40 guardsmen with commisar. then forgetting that had warp time and so fluffed all attacks then died to fearless saves :(

+1 for hilarity kudos to you sir

i once charged the nightbringer with my farseer....
It only had two wounds left and he actually killed it

Another shining moment for me was charging a greater daemon of nurgle with a squad of guardians....
Had one wound but still the warlock killed it

Witchblades seem to make up for my terrible ideas

You sir, are a master of simile.

I had a friend ram his weapon-less Fire Prism into my Dreadnought. I DoG and whiff. He immobilises me, the return hit vs. the Fire Prism explodes it, leaving a very suprised Dreadnought.

Camping an iron warriors basilisk battery with attendant shadowsword on the back edge of the table. In apocalypse. Where chainfist terminators can flank march AND assault on the same turn :(
