What was your most satisfying kill?

For me the best thing about facing Tau is killing the ethereal. There was one Tau player I gamed against where we had this running gag about how he would have to summit a request form to Tau’va for another ethereal after his died; this would require his commander to explain the fate of the previous Ethereal. I would actually tactically disadvantage myself to take these guys out. I kept making the joke that eventually they were just going to cut him off and stop sending Ethereals to their deaths.

I have killed Ethereals using the following means:
Barbequed by fire dragons.
Picked to the bone by scarabs
Crunched into a ball by a wraithlord
Hooked on slave snares
Eaten by zombies
Cut down by a lascannon
Mind warred by a farseer

Afterwards we would create the mock dialog between the commander and the Ethereal Supply Center:
Commander: “Yeah, I need another Ethereal”
Center: “What!?! What we just sent one to you, what happened to him?”
Commander: (Sheepishly) “ Um, he was swarmed by metal insects and reduced to a skeleton”
Or
“We were fighting the eldar and his head just exploded”
Or
“Well a skimmer flew by and it had these chains that caught him, and well they just flew away with him”
Or
“Zombies, the less you know the better”

But the all time best was when I was playing my EC and I turned his Ethereal into a spawn. My opponent argued that since his ethereal wasn’t actually killed, but transformed his units should not suffer their moral break tests. I agreed with this, proclaiming that it was fine with me that they would take the tests after I forced them to beat their ethereal to death. I made sure he ate a bunch of them first.

The dialog was along the lines of:
Commander: “Yeah, this might come as a shock but I need another Ethereal”
Center: “Awe hell no, no way am I sending you another ethereal. What are you doing over there; you know you are expected to protect these guys right? I have to look them in the eyes when I transfer them over to you, what happened?
Commander: “We were fighting these pink and purple space marines and a large four-arm creature burst from one of them and pointed at the ethereal. The blessed one transformed into a hideous screeching beast thing and proceeded to kill and eat his bodyguards – the firewarriors had to beat him to death with their pulse rifles, trust me it was a mercy killing”
Center: (Weeping)

The next game I had against the tau player I was disappointed to see that he didn’t field an Ethereal. When I question the absence he shrugged his shoulders and said the center finally cut him off, they refused to send any more ethereals to their inevitably deaths - the chaos spawn was the straw that broke the camels back.

Back using the 3.5 chaos codex. I had a Slannesh DP slaughter a Khornate DP in a single round of CC. He then went on to take down 6-7 Bloodletters before finally dropping.

I had a lone grot (last survivor of his unit after they got charged) kill an assault marine in HTH. That was pretty funny. 1 attack, one hit, one wound, one failed save. The grots still lost combat, but that little bugger went down fighting.

Eldrad. Killing that guy (its not common) is always a special, special moment.

When facing Deathwing for the first time with my IG during the last codex. I was losing terribly, just straight raped. But I swarmed his command squad and beat them to death with lasguns in HTH.

Once, I was playing against space marines (The great unpainted chapter). Marneus Calgar stepped out in front of a truckload of Meganobz. I waaaghed, roared up and tore him into little litty pieces. Caused like a dozen unsaved wounds. Granted, because they struck at the same time, he killed four of the Meganobz, but who the hell cares, right? The mantra of the Orks is "Kill all you want, we'll make more!"

The most satisfying Fantasy Kill.

Had a unit of Trolls wiped to a man by a wood Elf Dragon, but had gotten the dragon to its last wound.

After a sporadic bout of vomit, the Dragon lay dead, the troll looking on in awe.

Kennedy. Pick one.



Ghidorah

Hhhmm probably Arjac killing Vulkan to help seal the game.

Indirectly having a Big Mek kill himself plus all those within 3"(which was a squad of 12 grots) in while shooting at Logan.

My favorite would have to be:

SM vs. SM (5th ed)
Turn 1
Opponent goes first, rolls up a land raider 12", fires at my assault cannon razorback, fails to pen with a lascannon.
I move to the side and see my only possible target for the razorback is the land raider, so I fire. Three shots hit, one shot rends, and I get the full +3. Roll for effect: 6. The resulting explosion killed a full half of the TH/SS termies inside.

Turn 2
His termies catch my razorback in assault, but only cause a single immobilized result.

The following round of combat see both the assault cannon and the storm bolter on the razorback knocked off. The game lasted 3 more turns and at the end of it the razorback still wasn't dead. After 6 rounds of combat. In a kill point game.

This happened over a year ago and I still taunt the guy over it.

Most satisfying kill?

We had played campaign, Eldar vs. Witch Hunters. With an even amount of losses and wins on both sides we were ready for the main battle. Not apocalypse, but a solid 2000pts.

After a gruelling match I was left with an Inquisitor my Canoness, and a ragtag remnant of storm troopers and sisters flooding into the main strongpoint of the eldar defence.

It really was cintematic. My sorry remnant of an army tore through thier ranks, felling and torching eldar left and right, but try as I might Eldrad (that dick) narrowly avoided the fray, fleeing the building with one wound left.

I can imagine that cintematic moment as my Inquisitor and Canoness vengefully look for the mastermind behind this, as Eldrad staggered out the building, bleeding and holding his side. He leans against the wall, sighs in relief and looks up a 20 lasguns staring straight him. I can imagine the growl of the commissar "No prisoners." and the snap/crack of those lasguns. Yes, we got him.

I think it has to be My kroot merc fight.

I was against SM and he had charged his commander, in terminator armor, into a kindred of mine, I got quite a few hits, and he saved about 4 out of 16 attacks, died before he could even get a hit in. haha.

That idiot upstairs who put on rave music every morning at 8.

In game, I killed a Bloodthirster with a Deffkopta Mekboy once, under 3.0 Kult of Speed rules. 2 wounds from shooting, 2 wounds from shooting again in the assault phase.

Today I had a most satisfying slaughter... I was playing Space Wolves against a local Deathwing player, and before the game we picked a sergeant each from our respective armies to play out 'The Lion and The Wolf,' as per tradition. We both picked a dual-claw Terminator, naturally, and the Wolf Guard slaughtered the Deathwing Terminator Sergeant without taking a scratch.

In the killpoints game that followed, my opponent managed to knock out no more than a Rhino, and by the end of the game had I Belial hiding behind a buiding with a couple of terminators and a Master of the Ravenwing flying around trying desperately to score a second killpoint. It all very much reflected the result of the pre-game duel... a satisfying kill.

One of my Space Wolves Lone Wolves soloing Ghazkhull. Sure, he died doing it, but what an honourable death!

My first game of 40k ever;

When my mob of 20 Ork boys swamped my mates lone Powerfist Chaos Lord, and butchered him in a hail of attacks, before he even got a chance to do anything.

Last turn of a 1vs1vs1 game. My chaplain stood alone as he entire assault marine squad was killed in the last few turns leaving him on his own.

He makes a save from 2 lascannon hits then a railgun. The look on their faces was enough when i made each inv save but was made even better when my Chaplain then shot at the tank that had tried to shoot him and destroyed it with his plasma pistol on a lucky glancing 6.

(This was in 4th Ed rules when glancing could destroy on a 6)

Black knighting a Meltagun eqipped Dreadnaught one turn before it was going to nuke my Warboss. (Black Knight - Weapon destroyed, weapon destroyed, immobalised)

Way back when, first shot of a GT game, Basilisk on a Land Raider, Ordnance 6 result. Back then that also killed everything inside automatically. Land Raider, uber-HQ commander with retinue and attached other HQ IC. All gone in one shot. Can you say "Game Over"?

At the 'ard boys tourney I had over 132 models on the board (Orks) my opponent was playing Necrons. She decides to Deep strike her monolith right in the middle of my boys. This was stupid because I had two squads of 30 boys with a nob with PK North and South on the left my 10 man nob squad w/PK and on the right I had Ghazkull and Meganobz. When she decided to do this she starting to laugh and talk trash because I was going to get shot to hell. She even stated she wasn't even going to use the particle whip (insulting). So my turn, Ghaz and Mega nobs charge it and one of my Meganobz walked up and popped it. She was pissed and sulked the rest of the game.

An eldar guardian killing a land raider that was in cover with a bright lance on the first turn.

Back when I played Grey Knights, I had a Grandmaster and retinue charge the Nightbringer. I think the Nightbringer went first, killing two Terminators. Then the Grandmaster went and, surprisingly, got a single wound in. Necron player failed his save, and after quickly checking to see if C'tan were immune to Instant Death, my Grandmaster one-shotted a star god. Sure, the resulting explosion killed the entire retinue but the Grandmaster survived. Probably in spite.

The second story goes like this: Dreadnought charges all that remains of a Death Company squad: Lemartes and a single Death Company marine. Lemartes tries to set a Krak grenade but no good. Dread swings three times, hits twice, wounds once, and Lemartes goes 'pop!' In return, the Death Company marine, in an act of composed violence, calmly stabbed the Dreadnought with his sword through the eye slit, turned around, and walked away slowly as the Dreadnought sparked and blew up behind him. Movie style.

Damn that was a fun game.

My Broadside took down a Vendetta. 'Nuff said!

10 DA bladestorming calgar into a red mist

Most satisfying, that's a tough one, and it might not even be in 40K. Blasting my friend's Atlas was very satisfying...even if hard.

Most satisfying in 40K has to be my boyz mob beating down my friends terminators. It came down to nob VS 2 terminators, and they killed eachother. I was like "perfect! they wiped eachother out."

Probably a quarter of the wall of the Imperial Palace plus almost everything on top of it when my FLGS ran the scenario during 3rd Ed.

The wall had Armour 18 or 20, IIRC, one of my Khorne Terminators with Chainfist(back when MoK was +1 St and added it before doubling with fists) rolled a 21 total for penetration.

My classmate was pretty satisfying to kill

My Dark Eldar warriors brought a Greater Daemon down to one wound through shooting. He charged in, promptly impaled himself on the spikes of a Dark Eldar warrior!

Unexpected and hilarious.

I have 2 most satisifying kills:

1: My Grey Knight Grand Master was charged just by an Orky Dread and about 25 Orks. Using Hammerhand to give him S10, he punched his Nemesis weapon through the Dread and the subsequent explosion killed every single Ork in combat with him.

2: My friend's Nightbringer was tearing through my armoured columm at which point it charged my Command Executioner. He declared Death-Or-Glory and spetacularly failed, rolling a double one for penetration!! He was heroically ground into the mud by a few IG tank crew.

"Ok Jones, full speed ahead"(BUMP BUMP)"I think we hit something. Adams, go round the back and see if you can scrape it out with a stick"

I have 2 from memory, 1 fantasy, 1 40k.

Fantasy, queek the warlord at Gamesday Baltimore:
-clanrat unit gets charged by De Lord on dragon (back in days without hatred), Noble on Pegasus, and unit of dark riders. His lord challenges, my lord accepts. Takes 1 wound from the lord, saves everything else. Squeek the warlord, splits his attacks 3 vs dragon, 1 vs DE lord, all hit, all wound, weeping blade, each doing d3 wounds. Dragon dies, DE lord takes 1 wound. Noble and Dark riders do 1 wound to skaven unit, unit kills 2 dark rider. Skaven win by ALOT, run down the Noble on Peg and dark riders and De lord. I admit, this NEVER should have happened. Skaven Warlord had a 3+ save, and 4+ward though..

40k: My unit of 10 + 1 slaver grots get charge by 5 thunder hammer swinging terminators. Grots swing first, and kill 3 terminators, with all 3 wounds coming from grots, Terminators swing, and kill 1 grot. Grots win! Termies fail, get away. During my next turn they shoot down the remaining 2 terminator. Re-dunkuless... seriously... silly. My opponent looked at my and said "grots,... really.."

Noble mention: My Doc Vs Vampire counts in a GT level game. Turn 6, unit of bloodcrushers and herald take off after skeleton bunker, Herald/Juggernaught killing blows 1 vampire, blood crushers killing blow the other... bam, 600 vps on turn 6+ 100 for general. Granted it was with demons, but it was that moment where in my head i said "wow... demon's are busted?"

Playing somebody i think to be TFG My marines vs his guard, my 5 man unit of sternguard were fired at by a squad of ten veterans inside a chimera, 1 multilaser, heavy flamer, 8 shotguns, 2 multi-meltas, later only the sergeant with powerfist was left, he smashed the chimera rolling an explosion on the table, all the veterans died in the blast and the remaining sternguard. Never seen anybody roll so many 1
