Using an IG army, I replicated the flying V from the Mighty Ducks. Chimeras and LR's shielding a whole mess of Rough Riders and sentinels.
The sad thing is, it worked.....

Vanguard Veterans. That's really all I need to say about that.

.

Took 10 chaos spawn in a 1000 pt army Im surprised I won a game ! and lost about :3

I kitted an IG veteran squad out with Harker, Autocannon and three snipers and had them sit next to each other in a ruined building, because I really thought they could take out anything with that kind of firepower (it was one of my first games).
Sadly I played against vanilla marines, and the player just happened to have an assault squad with 2 flamers... I think I was tabled by turn 3 without the opponent taking any casualties and that was only because he almost also was a total newbie.

actually i have topped my self (and this one is 40K)

If someone i played did that i think i would concede the game then and there because i would be laughing to hard to play.

Charging Abbadon with a naked DH inquisitor (before new codex,) and a mystic and having Abbadon roll a 1 on his attacks and impaling himself, (he only had 1 wound left.)

Deciding it would be a good idea to try and rush an eldar player who took 3 units of dark reapers with maugen'ra with a single infantry platoon

I'm sure there are more.

I don't believe Dreadnoughts can Death or Glory, or that any vehicle can... If you could, and you failed it, you would automatically die...

Dreadnoughts can death and glory. They are walkers after all.

There are in fact seldom-used rules for walkers performing death or glory. It's in the section on walkers under "Ramming a Walker." Failed death or glory just results in the ram being resolved against rear armor.

First time using chaos termies, send them in to take down deff dread blocking objective, "Lightning claws do what?"

Had an epic battle with Khorne lord and Tau Leadersuit, then lord decided to smack himself in the head with his sword till he died.

Footslogged against Mech-Guard with CSM

Charged a full unit of Ork Boyz with a Nurgle Prince

Last game I charged a Trygon Prime with a Deff Dread.

First time using a Callidus assassin, back in the day.

second turn: *rolls die* A 4! She comes in!

*places her next to some devastators* She has a cool flamer!

*shoot flamer, kill 3* Sweet! Now I'm gonna charge, she's got a weapon that ignores invul saves!

*charges, kills three more, unit passes morale, locked in combat* Sweet!


.....Holy crap I just skipped my whole second turn....

You need to stop fielding Callidus assassins. They're like your kryptonite.

lmao.

That is priceless. I'm usually the guy who puts marbo, a callidus or wolf scouts down and then takes my entire turn without using them. Yours is soooo much better though.

Prepped an entire list full of melta guns and other anti-armor units. my IG opponent pulled out 13 lascannons and no vehicles.

Even with a 200 point advantage we fought to a draw.

lol, that was really funny, i have done things like accidentally skipping shooting phase by assaulting or forgeting to assault and getting butt pwned because of, but skipping an entire turn is classic. TOP NOTCH STORY!

I didnt do it, so it shouldnt be on here, but my friend is probably one of the worst WH40K tactician ever!
He plays eldar and we were having a medium sized game (around 1750 pts each) I will list his misteakes (lol)
1.) Trying to kill my land raider with shuriken pistols
2.) Being an eldar player
3.) Using Dark reapers as assault units
4.) Trying to kill my terminators in assault with a farseer (all 20 of them)
5.) Putting gaurdians into his wave serpent instead of Fire dragons or banshees
6.) Getting his fire prism next to my vidicator and trying to kill Cpt. Shrike (in cover) with the beam.

I find it seriously funny how he still doesnt know why he is losing against me!

How about helping him improve his game, rather than tearing him down somewhat anonymously on an internet forum?

What's worse... Worst WH40k tactician or Worst RL Friend?

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!

I'm sure he told him as each thing happened.

I remember someone charging my predator tank with incubi waaaaaaaay waaaaaaay back in early 3rd edition. "What's their strength?" "Four, but they have POWER WEAPONS" ".....ok, so?" "So...wait, lemme check...."

Apparently power weapons were canned death and destruction back in 2nd edition? He was surprised it didn't do anything special versus vehicles. His charge did nothing.

Yeah, he's withholding.

Nice. I give wicked takebacks in our garage games. (And in tournament games, much to my detriment sometimes.) Quite a bit of 'You know that's a really bad idea, right?'

this is what happens when the rules get completely overhauled.


Power Weapons were canned death in 2nd.

a pair of LCs DOUBLED your attacks, not simply +1.

i deep striked every thing in my Blood Angels army in a 1000pts. army except for 5-man scout squad and honour guard squad... both killed in first turn

I exploded my own killa kan with a grotzooka.....

My friend shot me with a plasma cannon. He stattered onto his own predator. It blew up and killed his techmarine.
