I killed a Daemon Prince in HtH with a Tyranofex, so I think I'm starting to get on their good side for once.

I normally suck at destroying vehicles at range - I constantly roll "1"s for damage results. HAd one game with 9 lascannons on my side, 4 turns to kill a rhino...but we both had back luck in that game

However in HtH i normally do well - 8 bezerkers on the charge, with S5 attacks only ( i never take powerfists) normally kill an AV10 vehicle or 2...

In one game I was running 2x 3 man Chaos Termies with combi-plasma, that are supposed to deep strike, fire away, and then just be an annoyance.

I deep strike the first squad on turn 2.
Roll to rapid fire, so 6 shots: 1,1,1,2,3,4
Roll to wound: 1,1 No Wounds
Roll Saves for Overheats: 1,1,3 Two of my termies die.
Take a Morale Check for 25%+ Casualties: 5,6
Roll for how far to run: 1,3
For the rest of the game he wasn't able to rally

Second Squad comes in turn 4
Rapid Fires Plasma: 1,1,1,1,2,6
Roll to wound: 2, so no wounds against Mepheston
Roll Saves: 1,1,1,5,5 Squad Dies

That should cause a Jam! Remember that? I've actually jammed an assualt Cannon with triple 1s. Anybody else?

This happened so often I stopped taking terminators for 1 year. On five armor saves I rolled four 1's and a 2. I use them again, but I have special terminator armor save dice.

Charged doom with sicarius got him down to one wound, he struck back dealing 2 wounds, im like 2+ then feel no pain, its nuffin!

Armour, double 1s
Feel no pain, double 3s.

An enemy Khorne Lord charged my tactical squad (with a khorne daemon weapon) and killed 2 dudes ?

How about a devastator squad with 4 plasma cannons all overheat and I fail 3 saves. Left one very nervous heavy weapons dude.

5 straight 1's, that how you get your DP killed lol, I was in shock at the extremity of my dice's failure. I've thrown out at least one box of dice simply because I firmly believed (and still do to this day) that they were possessed and existed only to kill my Imperial Fists, be it armor saves or plasma gun overheats, those dice were the grim reaper to my IFs

Abbadon Vs Shoota Mob. 6 shots hit, 4 shots wound, 4 failed armour saves. One of my most memorable games never had so much bad luck in one day. Abbadons failure topped it all but I lost my whole army before I could kill 500 points of my mates 1500 point ork army

ouch, I also firmly believe that the word "Melta" is anathema to the dice gods, thus why I refer to mine as "magic markers" so they'll actually hit lol

Lol this is the story of my life.

I think my best ever one of these was when I had taken my brand new Daemons for the first time.

I was facing the Imperial Guard and was hoping to shield myself against the withering firepower with Fateweaver and his awesome re-rollable save power.

Suffice to say, this didn't work out as planned. He arrived on turn three, scattering a little closer to the Guard lines than I had hoped, but still mostly hidden, with only a single standard guardsman unit in sight range.

After turning Marbo into a gibbering spawn (Which was damn funny), my opponent decided to fire the lasguns at Fateweaver not expecting anything, but they had no one else to shoot.

This is where it all went wrong: 10 shots, 5 hits, 1 wound, 2 failed 3+ saves and an 11 on the leadership roll later and the mighty Fateweaver flees the table in shock.

I was left dumbstruck at this ridiculously improbable turn of events, while my Imperial opponent couldn't stop laughing.

His triumphiant return in the next battle saw him soak up over 20 wounds without injury though, so he survived being confined to trash heap for now!

gearheadwhat wrote:I once assaulted the equivalent of 3 or 4 guardsmen. With 18 space marines.

They didn't even need to roll an armor save. Out of 36 dice, 4 hit. No wounds.

At the end of the game. I killed 1 guardsman. And lost just about every last one of those marines. (My low rolling kept me from ever falling back at least)

This was in a RT tournament in 03 or 04.... Cost me the game that one did.

woah! and I thought I had crap luck...

I got one for you underking,

I had the MM blown off my LRR so I shot my TL assault cannon at the enemy LR. Hit every shot, and rolled 4 6's meaning they all rended. I rolled the 4 D3's and got 1's on all of them. Then my LRR gets melta'd :(

I have a similar story...

My winged Hive Tyrant (full wounds) charged a standard Ork Dred, in a comabt that lasted for 3 full turns (so 6 rounds of assault!)...

And at the end of the 6th round of combat the result was...?

One dead Hive Tyrant and an Ork Dread that was only missing a claw! (but they did have an excessively shaken crew... Hehe I like my Grots shaken, not stired! (but dead would be better!))

Awful rolling that game... When a 250+ pt. HT can't take out a dread, then it's time to call it a day...

EDIT: Oh! And I'll also vote for MMs and MGs when I use my Green Marines... They never EVER hit...

Probably my most memorable happened in 4th. I had a full unit of Steeds of Slaanesh charge some termies with a character. 40 attacks with the old style rending. Should have popped them before they could fight back. Not 1 six. My brick of dice plus 4 four borrowed...nada.

A close second would be my assault marine squad being hit by Necron Immortals. Good unit yes. Did 15 wounds. Not unheard of. I should have lost 5 guys. Bad, but not the end of the world. When the dust cleared there was one verrry lonely veteran sergeant standing there remembering the fudge he left on. (Also 4th)

The best ever in my favor was about 7 guardians shooting a Tzeentch lord on a disk. In 4th he had 4 wounds. They wounded 4 times. He saved on a 2+. The Chaos lord did not get another turn.

Remember, matching dice are happy dice!

Actually played an Ork player the other day who consistently rolled 5s and 6s to hit in the shooting phase. Whenever I shot back, I couldn't roll anything higher than a 3, and more 1s than you can count.

With markerlights.

On Fire Warriors.

Raising their BS to 5.

Goddamnit.

When Orks are shootier than your Tau, you know the Dice Gods hate you with a passion.

Oh, and I have the worst luck in the world when trying to deep strike. I always lose anyone I try to DS in. Always. No exceptions.

Which makes me absolutely terrified of deep striking, so everything goes on the board in deployment.

I wonder how I'll do when I actually get my Daemons army together and start playing them.

Wow. Tau outshot by Orks. Might be time to take out a couple of those dice, get some lighter fluid, and commissar them in front of the others as a warning.

Hah! Not a bad idea!

Try this one:

6th turn 3 objectives IG hold 2 my SM captain 2 wounds left on bike with two normal biker buddies assaults the PCS holding one objective by themselves, they assault through cover – both bikers die... In combat – relic blade does nothing capt looses a wound!!! Morale test 12!!! Gets caught rolls no retreat save – 1...

I'm gonna go ahead and revive this thread (through experimental New Age necromancy-free methods) to tell you all about what happened to me yesterday.

So I field a Ven Dread with a TL Lascannon, right? I figure there's no way in hell this guy can miss, since he's BS5 (hits on 2s) and the LC is TL (reroll misses).

Lo and behold, as soon as it actually matters (i.e. my Terminators were staring a Chaos Vindicator in the face) my Ven Dread targets the Vindicator, and rolls a 1. I reroll. Another 1.

It gets better. The Vindicator murders three Terminators, so next turn, I target it again.

I roll a 1.

I reroll.

Another goddamn 1.

So somehow with my Ven Dread with TL lascannon, I managed to roll two ones, two turns in a row.

The dice gods truly hated me yesterday.
