my attack bikes commonly kill 30 man squads of grechin by themselfs.

I remember the 1st time my usual oppontet used the shokk attack gun , I was scared shitless (this was 4th ed) I was using necrons and the very 1st turn, I range sniped his big mekk with a hvy destroyer. What else...

Because of my textured tabe, I commonly roll sevens, and we count it as an auto sucess. That has made interesting situations.

OOh! one a warboss on bike assaulted my guardsmen and was just wreaked! COD FTW!

Probably the game where :
My Opponents Vindy shot missed my 'Fex, scattered onto his Dread' and Blew it up,
My Lictor Single-handedly cleaned an objective of his scout squad, then sat there twiddleing it's thumbs for the rest of the game,
My Carnifex single-handedly whiped the floor with a Venerable Dreadnaught, Master of the Forge and a Servitor, in the Round they charged, Then Killed the other Servi, before being beaned by a lone Krak Missile,
My T. gaunts out of Synapse passed a Ld test,
In turn 5, my opponent had his Vindy and 2 Tactical Marines, I had my whole army, roll to see if we continue, roll 2, and my gaunts are a mere 2" from controlling the Objective (WoN), and his remnants hold an objective (sigh...)

My friend for some reason loaded his grey knight terminators with the chapter master(is this right) in a chimera (can he do this? he deep struck them, scattered and decided they would hitch a ride) there was 5 terminators and his master, i fired my autocannon squad at it, hit with 4 rolled FOUR 6s to penetrate then proceeded to roll a 5 to destroy it (highest roll) rolling to wound all of his terminators was some luck but he rolled FIVE ones.... 5 of 6 terminators died getting out a chimera i just love to think about them all getting stuck fighting who gets out first lol

Seeing a dragon fly.
It was many years ago during Hero Hammer; We had this big goofy guy with basby teeth who just had a foul foul temper anyway he was playing High Elves against a Khorne Chaos army that was just geared out heroes, he flew his like 12 point telion or something like that High Elf Lord into combat with a champion of khorne, I dont know exactly what the guy had but he ended up playing some of those Chaos gift Cards onthe figure that accepted the challenge. Anyway he killed the drago and then since he had rows of halberds he ended up killing the high elf lord.

The guy picked up his dragon and through it a good 20 feet into a shelf at the front of the store smashing it into a million pieces.

I recently had a game where my Gunfex sitting at the back of my army assaulted a drop podded dreadnought...and won after 4 turns. Shot it first with my weapons but no damage then charged in. First turn he rolls triple 1's to hit, I retaliate and destroy it cc weapon. Next turn he again fails to hit and I rip off its multimelta arm. Third turn I immobilize it and in the final turn he STILL misses and I promptly rip it apart. I just imagine my fex playing with it like a cat with a mouse.

It was at the Exterminatus (a 5 round tourney in the Atlanta), palying against a Chaos player. This was two years ago in 4th ed.

The mission was an odd one with basically a Dawn of War deployment with quartered Deployment zones. Everything not on-table was in Reserves.

He brought in a squad of 2 Obliterators and a Dread at the closest point along his long edge to my DZ. the Dread rolled "Fire Frenzy" and the Oblits walked forward (in front of the Dread!). He started to see if there was any of my Eldar in range of the Dread and I said "what armament does it have?" He said, sadly "a Multi-melta... " . LOL nothing of mine was in range so it would have to fire twice into the Oblits. He realized he could fire the Dread last so proceeded to fire with the Oblits and his other two CSM squads. Nothing hit or wounded anything of mine.

Hoping his bad rolls hold out he rolls his two MM shots on his Oblits, two hits, two wounds, two failed saves, two dead Oblits!

3rd turn he gets in a big sqaud of Raptotrs and flies them in from the same point to get as close to my stationary Eldar as possible (still in front of my favorite Dread). The Dread rolls another "fire Frenzy" result, killing two Raptors!!!

4th turn I put him out of his misery and killed the Dread for him, although it had scored me about 220 points!

Round 5, annihilation scenario. Not much left on the table Had 2 Dire Avengers left on one table quarter, big, badass librarian (with 3 wounds) charges, kills one dire avenger, the exarch causes one wound, librarian fails Diresword LD test = dead librarian.

My opponent hadn't even heard of a diresword... that death sealed the game.

My grot gun crew won a round of cc against a squad of dire avengers and sent them running!

I couldn't help doing the voices of the proud eldar aspect warriors - " They're too strong for us brothers! fall back!"

Well, this was from a 3rd Edition game (I haven't played in years and am just coming back now to play Orks) and it was my Space Marines all-infantry army teamed up with a Sisters army, fighting against Chaos and Orks.

Some where around turn 3 a full unit of Ork trukk boyz zoomed up and unloaded in front of my 5-man devastator squad armed with missile launchers that had been busily shredding his foot boyz with massed templates and eliminated his Dread on turn 1.

Kiss the Dev's goodbye eh?

The 12 trukk boyz assaulted and via curse of the fickle dice gods only scored 1 unsaved wound against my 5 Marines who managed to score 2 wounds back.

The Orks lost combat, routed and rolled a 1 for fleeing and were promptly caught and eliminated by my 4 chasing Marines. I don't know which of us looked more stunned, me or the Ork player?

Btw, the 4 missile launcher Devs survived the game and continued their template party against his foot units.

Having my Dark Eldar Archon wounded 21 times with str 6 weapons (from a warwalker squadron) and making all 21 2+ saves (opponents reaction was hilarious)

In 4th against old codex chaos: Having a unit of guard in cover get assualted by a 10 strong unit of daemonettes winning combat by one and watching the demons fail their instability roll. Then next round a chaos lord assualts the same squad and over 3 turns of combat is summarily bayonetted to death by the squad, YO JOE!

First game with my Lash Prince resulted in failing 4 rolls taking two wounds and the fifth roll gave two 1's finally killing my Prince... For long time I had a serious mental trauma because of this...

The other day I lost all but 11 Boyz from the Slugga mob when group of Termies showed up next to them. Sluggas survived all incoming fire and I thought "oh, what the hell" and charged killing 4 of Termies, the last one pissed his pants and got owned in sweeping advance. I thought my opponent would cry.

In my first game that i used conscripts i had a 50 man squad with 5 flamers that charged a 3 man squad of Grey Knight termies with a justicar. only one consript survived but he contested the objective na won me the game. go go conscripts

first time playing my friends necron, first turn i had a squad of 3 standard ork bikers advance and shoot his res orb lord.
The lord took enough wounds to drop it, failed its saves, and didn't get back up.

My friend just sort of stood there looking a bit sad

Killing laysander who was bumming around on his own with 2 ripper bases ah i never seen someone roll so many ones compared to my 6's

Me and my brother played kill teams very recently, me with orks, himself with kroot and tau. The end result was 3 turns, 1 wound on his xv8 and all of my orks dead.
watch this and you will see what i mean!




oscar.

Once when I was playing against orks, I decided to ram a trukk with my hellhound. The result was 1 immobilized trukk and a shaken hellhound.

I was quite angry at the fact that the trukk was still there so next turn I proceeded to move my demolisher within range and fired. The shot scattered on top of my hellhound and I rolled a 6 for armor penetration and then a 5 for my results roll. I told my opponent that I hated that hellhound anyways and that it was no big deal.

In another game, a squad of dire avengers took out one of my sentinels(back in 4th edition) and annihilated it. The resulting explosion took out 6 dire avengers and caused a wound on an attached asurmen.

In a recent apocalypse match, my ally had taken the ork rok strategic asset. the first shot scattered 4 feet off the table. however the second landed directly on top of a grey knight land raider, inqusitor and his retinue,a squad of grey knights and a squad of teminators. it killed everything except terminators, which my warboss and his nobz promptly charged with all 6 of their power klaws.

1500 Annihilation game, My SM vs KoS

I went second, so had the advantage of on the last turn (T7 no less) i knew what I had to do. We were drawn on Kill Points, and he had an Imbobilised Trukk with no weapons left. There was one of my drop pods from T1, still fine, pretty close though, but i thought I'll risk it.

Fired my vindicator at the trukk (it was the only thing in range, and I had to kill something, the rest of my marines were locked in CC with more boyz than they could theoretically kill in 1 turn of assault) and what do ya know, the bloody thing scatters JUST enough for the hole to land on my drop pod and miss the trukk utterly.

I proceeded to then roll a Penetrating hit and a Wrecked on the damage table, handing my opponent the win.

A few months ago I was in a small 1000 pt tournament. My mate took his Eldar and in two consecutive games on the first psychic power of each game, his farseer got perils of the warp and died by instant death! It was priceless.

Another good moment was my only ever game against Dark Eldar. I was playing against a bit of a bad sport and he had been boasting about how hard his Archon (or whatever they are called) was and that this model alone could take down greater demons and Eldar Avatars and that he was gonna chew through my Nids. We'll, on his first turn he belted up to my lines in a raider, disembarked, but was out of assault range. My first turn, I shot him with a few spinefists, he rolled a double one for his shadowfield (loosing his invulnerable save for the rest of the game) and then my Broodlord with +1 initiative assaulted him and tore him to pieces. Job done.
Not so much funny as satisfying after all the bad sportsmanship leading up to the game.

ive had a couple of upsets,

one of them, a 10 man space wolf grey hunter squad (2nd edition) was charged by a unit of 12 genestealers, the genestealers kill all but 1 marine.... and that one marine proceeds to finish off the 12 genestealers
(that marine got a special paintjob for that)

in that same game (it was 2v2 match) my teammate had a vortex grenade hidden in his scout squad, and he charged into a lictor to use the grenade as a suicide move. i did not realize this so i took some pop-shots with my bolter marines who were close by, only 1 shot hit the scouts, it just so happen to hit the one scout holding the nade, and it just so happen to kill him... so no more vortex grenade.


another time (in WHFB) i had a block of 30 zombies and my girlfriend charged into the flank with a Bloodthirster, she was tearing through them in fistfulls, but on the 3rd turn of combat (huzzah for invocation of nehek, and raising more zombies) she wiffed her attacks, so i won combat from ranks and outnumbering, she had to take a demonic instability test and POP, no more bloodthirster

the crappiest unit in the game took out a bloodthirster, i was so proud.

Another time, back in second edition, space pupps vs ultramarines, the game came down to one of my grey hunter squads, ragnar, and my dreadnaught, vs Calgar.
i was able to charge with everything in 1 turn, i did not realize that Calgar has a special item that made having extra people in close combat not effect his ability to absolutely crush you...

Calgar killed everything and i lost the game

Anhilation+Spearhead. Nids VS. CSM. Had 3 units of 'Stealers outflanking. 2nd Turn, roll 5,4,3... Lictor gives me a re-roll... 4. Opponent is on the left flank... 6,1,5. All 3 Genestealer broods arrive, proceed to roll up his army to win.

< Taken by the void dragon. >

Ouch, that's nasty on turn 1 XD

I had one funny moment, 4e a sqaud of genestealers charged my Shas'O. He promply lost but lived afterwards, in which he used a failsafe detonator. Took the whole sqaud of them with me

I posted this in the "Space hulk, what is it?" thread, after reading the above about the 1 SM killing 12 stealers I thought it deserved to be here

My brother, a mate and i were playing space hulk one night and my brother was down to his last terminator

my mate was spawning his blips from the mearest point and charging down the corridor at him

My brother sat on OW and killed 99 stealers (I gak YOU NOT) before he decided to leave the board...

-------------------

In reference to that story i wanted to check my memory (ITS BEEN LIKE 17 YEAR) So i went and checked the maps for the missions (which you can find here http://spacehulk.barsoom.cc/mirrors/shc/ to see if i could find the right one.


It was this mission Mission three: Rescue I am pretty sure we got the cat out and my brother was on the way off the board with his last termi when he decided to turn around and play target practice with the stealers.



The red dot is where he stood shooting and the Purple square is where my mate spawned his blips (had to be purple for stealers )

I played an Apoc game last week that was just rife with hilarious moments and amusing anecdotes. My favorites were these two:

I had a spare rhino that didn't have anything to do one turn after dumping a payload of Berzerkers on an objective. About 11 inches away there was a full wound, angry CC-fex getting ready to charge my allies titan on its next assault phase. I thought, what the hell, and tank shocked it with the rhino. Declaring that no Carnifex would jsut 'step out of the way', he rolled a death or glory attack, which penetrated (of course) unfortunately for him, the damage roll was a weapon destroyed roll, and his Carnifex went down, no saves or anything. So, I lost a 15 point havoc launcher upgrade and took out a massive fex (dont know the points cost on it). The look on his face was golden.

In that same battle, my allies and I had control of an objective that sat on top of a multilevel bunker - about 4 floors in all, and the roof. (I think it was a necromunda building, actually). According to apoc rules, you can actually destroy buildings like that. So, we had a squad of about 8 marines on top of the bulding, guarding the objective, and a total of 44 Fire Warriors and 6 Pathfinders camped in the middle floors, with 5 terminators at the bottom. About halfway through the game, this dominating pillar of firepower was struck by an eldar psychic bombardment. It eradicated the swuad on top, and collapsed the building, killing one terminator, and about half the tau, including most of the pathfinders. Needless to say, a game tha twas looking like an easy win for us up until then very suddenly became a very close draw.

King of the Hill Game:
1500 points of Tau and 1500 points of SM
v.s.
3000 points of Ghaz's Boyz

SM commander called in an orbital strike, came down with scatter onto a Battlewagon in the middle of the formation of Boyz, strike penetrated and blew the Wagon up, hitting everything within 5 inches. Part of the original blast template also hit both Ghaz and the other HQ choice (generic Warboss). Both were killed by the strike, and between that, the Boyz in the Wagon and those surrouding it, roughly 25 Boyz plus both HQ choices were lost in a single attack.

How was Ghaz killed by taking one wound?

Ghaz is immune to instant death....

Bummer for the Ork player then, as he should've caught this.
I'll remember this for the future, thank you.

You're welcome.

So, I was playing a game today, 3000 points, and the guy was playing 3 Lith and tons of Warriors.

He had 3 Warriors in Reserve to come via the liths, T2 all 3 liths come down, but fails to get any warriors in. I then blow up ALL 3 MONOLITHS. One was with a glancing hit too (AP1 is so much fun ;p)
