A Land raider rammed my raider, The LR was immobilised whilst my raider was only shaken.

...tanks from the 23rd and 48th batallion were flanked by tanks from the enemies' 56th batallion. It was then that General Smedfordshire revealed his secret weapon: a slightly larger tank.

Back in the day I had a lone BA tac marine with a missile launcher rage three turns in a row. Each turn getting in combat with- and beating- a squad of dark eldar.

Another time I had a scout sniper kill a perfectly healthy hammerhead.

A friend charged my armored fist squad with a wolf priest who rolled perfectly and killed 6 guardsmen. The remaining three guardsmen bayonetted him to death.

After firing a ton of plasma at a deathwing command squad leaving only the commander, my vox operator killed him with a rapid firing lasgun.

My old crozius and plasma pistol armed chaplain killed a chaos dread in one on one combat before he could swing with a melta bomb

I'm sure there's more...

YHATZE!

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

Rapid fired two full firewarrior squads into a 7-man plague marine squad; 48 shots, 30 wounds.......1 kill, yes, 1 solitary kill after his armor and fnp rolls.

Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do

However, 4 attacks at str 5 later he wins combat against the necron warriors, chases them down, wipes them out and lives to fire his SAG again!

Eldar vs Marines. I bladestorm a Tac squad in the open with 10 DA I barely manage to wound the sm and he makes all the saves. I assault the squad out of seer desperation along with a WL, again no wounds and he manages to PF the last wound of my WL!.

And I can say that such lousy turns are not an uncommon sight on my games. I guess that the fact that I kept failing all my probability tests at college is because I refuse to believe their silly theories after I play 40k or WHFB

Tau vs. Eldar (Iyanden list, with Avatar HQ). I have a squad of 12 FWs on an objective, with about 3 inches of terrain between me and the Avatar. Assault phase rolls around, the Avatar moves into assault...and promptly rolls triple 1s to move through difficult terrain. The next turn, that squad of Fire Warriors teamed up with a squad of Crisis Suits and blasted the thing to smithereens.

10 flashlight wielding imperial guardsmen killing 6 chaos space marines in melee, with my chaos marines not killing one guardsman. It was a while ago, so i don't remember exactly how. But i face-palmed pretty hard.

My Lord turned them all into applesauce right after, but i was still sad.

My demolisher had its main gun destroyed and a monolith was in ramming range, I thought why not? Took a 12" run up, no damage to the demolisher, monolith however was crushed by my demolisher. Tried to do the same thing in another game, demolisher blew up and the monolith took no damage, gotta love the dice.

Thousand sons vs double Tyrant 'nids. Ahriman walks in front of both of them (they were standing pretty much next to each other.). Decides "What the hell", and launches gift of chaos at the first Tyrant. Passes his test, hits, and rolls a six, turning the Tyrant into a spawn. That made me chuckle.
Then I got confident. Using the power AGAIN (we decided to play it as you can use the same pwoer twice a turn, as long as it's not a shooting power.), Ahriman suceeds, hits....and rolls a six.

Howls of laughter peal from the back of the shop as we realize whats just happned. Looks like I'm going to need new Spawn pens .
