We've had model molestors, we have good/bad sports so about about funniest game stories?

I'll go first.

My marines vs a friends orks. 4th edition. He Runs a trukk or buggy through difficult terrain and rolls his test-double ones its destroyed.
No problem he says, runs another through. Double ones another destroyed. SO he tries again, smae result.

It ended up being 4 vehicals destroyed, one after another with double one difficult terrain tests since they were going fast or some such. I have never seen that many double one's come up outside blood bowl.

Has to be the time my Opponent goes "See this Ork Army its going to destroy absolutely take your army apart"

Turn 1: Deep Striking Scouts pop out and shoot 15 boyz dead.

Turn 4 or 5: My Assault squad 5 man strong carves through his Warboss and retinue I bottle neck his entire army the look on his face is amusing and priceless I have never laughed so hard after a games night.

I'm playing a 1v2 game, my old Dark Angels against Blood Angels and Orks. The BA have a dev squad with 4 lascannons sitting in some sandbags, and when the BA player isn't looking, the Ork player parks his trukk directly in front of the devs. This was a completely oblivious maneuver, and the Ork player had no idea what he had done. The following round I blew up the trukk, leaving it's burned wreck in front of the devs. The Blood Angels player was pretty pissed that his devs couldn't fire their lascannons for the first two turns of the game.

Personally, I found that hilarious. That's what happens when there's no coordination in a team.

Well, unfortunately we had a bit of laughter last night...

My friend Keith is playing his Ravenguard (with Shrike) and I'm playing my Salamanders. Capture and Hold I think (multiple objectives) with Dawn of War Deployment. This game is ugly from turn 1 on. At the end of Turn 6 I'm sure that I've won the game. He has 6 dudes left (yeah 6 out of the whole army, no tanks, characters nuttin) and I've got units on 4 of the 5 objectives. I've lost one Tactical Squad and Vulkan and that was it.

I'm getting a little cocky, thinking I whooped him pretty good. He just smiles and says, "I win". I laugh and give the typical "yeah of course you do". He says, "no seriously I win. You have to have Scoring Units on the objectives to win." I look at the board and yep I had two landspeeders, a Dread, and a lone Termie on the objectives, but not one scoring unit. I had completely forgot about putting my Troops choices on the objectives and he had won 1-0.

Epic fail on my behalf, but it was worth the laugh and will be an important reminder in future games.

I still chuckle over the time that I took the last wound off of a Carnifex with a DE Raider's slave snares.

The visual image of one of those light weight skiffs dragging around the still twitching carcass of a monstrous bug had us in giggles for a while.

I was learning the game. I had my Necrons, with the Deceiver out front, in front of my shooty bunker.

My foe had a unit of 12 Daemonettes (4th edition, so rending on the hit rolls) pop in right next to Big D. I'm like "pfft, no prob, he's a big guy, they can't hurt him." My greybeard foe is like "FKE, you are about to learn that there is NOTHING that a unit of rending troops can't kill."

He charges, I misdirect over to his shooting line. His Daemonettes are standing in front of a Necron gunline as my turn begins.

Nowadays we finish that quote 'except the Deceiver'. "Except the Deceiver" has come to be a blanket response to any all encompassing statement that we think isn't that all encompassing.

I also had a guy with a unit of Plague Marines, they are about to multi-charge my warriors and phase me out (5th edition, 'Ardboyz). Then his Demolisher cannon shot drifts off my Monolith and kills them all. Definitely a surprising moment.

The single most insane rolling I've ever seen in a game of 40k, or indeed anywhere, was as follows.

A mob of Orks, 12 strong, led by a Nob with a power klaw (trukkboy squad). Charges a Soul Grinder. It kills one, then the Nob blows it up. 6 inch radius, gets everyone. s3, so wounds Orks on a 5+.

It wounds....every....single....ork. 11 5+'s. Surprising, certainly. Then my foe goes to roll armor saves. He fails each and every one. 11 dice, no 6's. The wounded Nob breaks and runs.

To include a batch of my own bad luck, and thereby hopefully balance out some of the craziness described previously I had a Soul Grinder attack an immobilized Land Raider with no weapons left on the top of 3. It was joined by another Grinder (though that one had lost a weapon) on the top of 5. On the bottom of 7 they finally destroyed the Land raider. The chaplain inside was still contesting the bleeping objective!

Well mine was quite a while ago but I'll try to remember.... The apocalypse game had just been released and everyone in GW was playing it. I only had 1000pts so I joined another player to play against a larger army.

Me and my team mate had both planned our armies normally but our opponent had spent almost all of his on a Baneblade with loads of uprgades, apart from that his army had about 3 other squads. He was bragging about how it was "impossible" for us to damage it. Not wanting to get annoyed I just kept replieing "I'll manage" I can't remeber what pre game options (not having played apocalypse much I can't remeber the name for them) where used but I chose a Vortex Grenade and gave it to a SM tactical squad. At that point he warns me that it was an awful decision but I decided not to listen.

Turn 1: His Baneblade destroys a lot of my team mates army but mine is mostly protected by terrain. I move my units towards his side of the board while my friend recovers from the shock of loosing a lot of his army.

Turn 2: Baneblade destroys a few of my squads by I'm mainly ok. Squad with vortex grenade steps out from behind a wood and throws the grenade straight onto the baneblade. My opponent still thinks he knows best and claims it's no problem. He makes his rolls and fails them all. The look on his face when the Baneblade went bang was so funny.

He did his best to claim that he could save it, but one of the staff came over and read him the rules. He laughed and said it was a waste of the grenade. The staff member pointed out that a free weapon destroying most of his army wasn't exactly a waste and he was not sure what to say to that.

I had to leave the game but my team mate had a lot more units that our opponent and he easily won. I later found out the our opponent was TFG.

While we were playing Apocalypse, I always moved my Baneblade one inch.
Now a Deep Striked Soul Grinder charges it with 6 attacks and I was like "there my Baneblade goes" only to find out that he didn't with even one of them!
Also, in another Apocalypse, I had this Vortex Grenade. The clever plan was to throw it at Nightbringer. Now things didn't go so well, and the thrower and 3 of his Terminators got slurped in the warp. Then it advanced DIRECTLY to my own lines, Destroying my bunker, about 15 Tactical Marines and two objectives!
And I have swore an oath that I will never use them again.
Also, My Warboss + Nob retinue was fighting this big Avatar. My Warboss has one wound left, and he gets 4 wounds from Avatar. With 5++. I was like wtf and threw the dice while crying inside. I close my eyes.
My buddy then cried his frustration out when turned out that my Warboss managed to throw 4 sixes! After that the Warboss continued by mouwling the Avatar with a Power Fist in the head, wounding four times, and my opponent failed four 4++ saves!
Oh, good times

The best moment in my mind was during an apoc game. My dread fired its lascannon at the side armor of a baneblade scoring a pen hit. I rolled on the super heavy chart:
6!
Rolled again:
6!
Rolled again:
5!
Explosion Table:
6!
Range of Explosion:
5, 5, and 5!

The resulting explosion took out 4 squads of IG infantry, 4 Leman Russes, 3 Chimeras, 2 structure points from a nearby baneblade, thus destroying it (it already had one on it, only got a 3 on the Cat table), 2 Sentinels, 2 of my team mates Razorbacks, 3 of my own termies, and 14 out of 30 ork boyz (from 2 of the exploding russes they where assaulting).

We all had a good laugh, many claiming my dice where rigged, and I made sure to deck out the dreads arms with seals and honors.

And almost as if they where trying to prove to every one they where normal, I rolled 9 ones on my terminator armor saves a few turns later.
Cruel fates!

A few months ago we had a giant Apoc game at my local GW. 5v5 or so, mostly Imperials v Xenos. There were a few tense moments, including a TFG incident, but I nearly made my blackshirt pee.

I was about to lose Dante following a floundering Deep Strike assault, to a team of Vindicare Assassins firing from a fortified location that was the overall objective.

Hoping to save the honor of my Chapter, when I decided to think outside the box.

Be warned - this was a TFG move made in good humor!

I approached the register and paid for a gift card worth a small pack of minis, and made announcement - the posting of a public bounty on the heads of those Assassins. Whoever brought me their heads got the gift card - Following turn the fort was brought down with D class weapon fire - killing them all.
But watching his own teammates trying to plot and scheme on how best to betray him in the meantime was absolutely worth the cost!

One that made me laugh pretty hard. My Orks vs. Brothers SM.
We set the table up to look like a ruined city section. In the middle was a SMALL square that had a little water pool with a statue in it. Now he had a LR with a predator and a couple rhinos behind it. The fastest way to get to my Orks was through the fountain.
He rolls to see if he goes over and fails. Big ass LR stuck on a small fountain. Totally blocks the rest of his tanks and had to back track. Man it was so friggin funny

OOOH, i got one,

I was plaing warmachine,my menoth vs Khador

Turn 1: the Khador player blew up his Berserker by rolling 1's and the explosion hits all his 'jacks

Turn 3: My paladan kills his other 'jack.

Ahh what happened?

Here's one for the blood bowl funny. The club still talks about it almost every year.

My halfling team vs an undead team with a werewolf. Close game the werewolf has the ball. I make a desperate one lone halfling tackle. 2 dice his choice....both come up block, knocking us both down, and the ball loose. Through sheer luck it bounces arcoss a couple players until its caught directly in the middle of the halfling pack! To make matters worse, I managed to crack the werewolf's armor and kill him! He cant get the ball carrier and I take off in my next turn for a touchdown.

I'm setting up a Black Legion rhino.

My opponent asks, "What's in the rhino?"

I answer, "Chaos Marines."

He asks, "What are they armed with?"

I answer, "Smiles."

lol nice work. I will tell me opponent what I have in my list. After that, tough cookies. Your arnt going to know whats inside what until it pops out and you shoot them out. Naturally I write down whats in where so I dont unintentionally cheat.

I actually told him what they were armed with after... I just thought it would be funny to say that. I'm not a jerk!

A pimped out Tau Shas'o with a retinue of two crisis suits and five shield drones getting sweeping advanced by a single terminator after downing only a single shield drone.

Over 300 points of Tau HQ getting SA'd by a single 40 point model is extremely funny.

First turn, SaG, I roll double 6's blow up my oponents Grey Knight Land Raider with HQ and Terminator squad inside along with half his unit of storm troopers who proceeded to flee

heh, I forgot about the SAG... that and ramshackle makes orks the most amusing and unpredictable army to fight against.

in our local group the SAG always blows itself up every second game. It's done that for the past year or so. Doesn't matter if it kills half the opponent's army, if it's a second game it will blow itself up.

Necromonda: Best GWS game ever

Here is a loose assortment of moments I found very joyous:

Models that get hit within a certain distance of a building edge had to roll to see if they fell. I witnessed one model getting shot out of a high perch and landing on a teammate.

Having my ratskins get mowed down on my opponents first turn shooting (they all rolled downed results) only to crawl around on their bellies while my opponent continued to spray them with fire for the rest of the game. One model climbed one top of my shaman to protect him from the bullets only for my opponent to switch to scatter shot on his shotgun and blanket both of them with a one inch blast range template.

I played Mad Donna a few times, she was a special character that had a rule that made it if she takes a character out in hand to hand the model is not remove, but immediately applies an injury roll. This represents her just lashing out at the down model and mutilating them. Well, she got a hold of one of my opponent’s gangers. It was brutal injury wise, she gouged out and eye, bit off fingers, sawed off a leg, and inflicted a plethora of other wounds. Well it got to the point were my opponent was saying just die “Doug” (I forget the model’s name), just die man. It was a multiple player game and we all enjoyed watching how much damage this guy soaked up before rolling a dead result.

This could have been a great thread, instead, it has become a thread where people can wave their e-genitalia around for all to see. S

Say what?

Ah, I've got a few good ones.

One of the first games I played (actually the second, I think), was a 3v3, Orks BTs (me), and Dark Angels against Chaos, Chaos, and more Chaos (Word Bearers, Emperor's Children, and World Eaters, I think) . Everyone had about 750 points about, but I don't know quite how even the sides were. Myself and the Ork player had set up a staggered line, a mob of boyz, then a line of BTs, then another mob. Behind, with the second mob, he had a Shokk Attack Gun.

Anyway, Word Bearer's lord, a winged dude with a Daemon weapon, goes jumping out ahead of everyone else to try to off the Shokk Attack Gun. Shooting phase, he's out of range from the Orks in the middle of the field. The Shokk gun, however, rolls something (don't remember) and teleports into combat with the Chaos Marines he was aiming at. Gets shredded in the assault phase, and in the Chaos' turn, the lord is just sitting there all alone. WB player says frak it, and jumps as close as he can to the Orks, but doesn't quire make charge. Next turn he gets shot to hell and back by slugga fire. Ever since, he has gained the name 'Leroy' for what the Word Bearers player yelled out when he made that final jump.

Another dude, our club president, is an amazing guy... but has terrible luck. I was standing watching his Iron Warriors play some 'nids, and his Vindicator was all but surrounded by stealers. He opens fire, rolls scatter.... and scatters exactly so he hits nothing. Seriously, if he had been an inch off, or the angle had been any different, he'd have knocked out at least one of the things.

Switching from GW to Malifaux, one of our Gremlin players was running against my Death Marshals. The Judge and a Death Marshal are standing together fighting a piglet, when he charges another one in, and proceded to use his Gremlins' "Y'all watch this!" to blow up both pigs, two gremlins, and both my guys. We got a good laugh out of that, and from then on always watched our for "Those pesky exploding pigs".

My Plague Marines can withstand the fire of battle Cannons, Las Cannons, Missile Launcers, Bright Lance, Star Cannons, Heavy Bolters.

They die in droves to Lasguns and Splinter Rifles.

No joke.

That is absolutely HYSTERICAL. I salute you, sir!

I know how that is: My Marines can pass nearly every cover save I'm asked to make, but I can't make basic 3+ saves.

To put that into better context, I haven't yet played my marines in 5th(so, this was in 4th when cover was predominantly 5+).

There's a reason almost every 5th edition game I've played has been with Guard...

ah... ive got an amusing one! My IG commander has a power fist, pimp cane, and two of the dark eldar prisoner models that count as bodyguards. I decided to assault a herald of khorne (at least thats what i think it was; it was a bloodletter riding a juggernaut) who already had taken a wound from a lucky lasgun shot. My commander rushed up, and then proceeded to beat the hell out of this set of daemons. In his victory I imagine him standing with a captain morgan pose on the dead juggernaut with his scantily clad women beside it, hair flowing in the wind

First two games I played vs Plague Marines, they made not one FNP roll!
I was spraying them with shoota fire, assaulting, everything I could, as I know they are tough gits ... or so I'd heard ...
OK, their armour was tough to crack, but each and every failed armour save removed a model!
Plague Marines are now known to have the Feel Lots Of Pain rule!

Last game with my speed freeks orks. I made 1 KFF save in the entire game. On an ork boy. I still won though.

Another time, in-store tornament. My orks vs. Vulkan He-Man marines. First turn I got double 6s on his terminator unit lead by vulkan, with no scatter.
