Single BT Chaplain swept an entire squad of Howling Banshees. He did not charge them.

EDIT: Erm, the squad wasn't full. Only 8 I think, maybe 7.

My blob squad of 30 Guardsmen + Commissar, Power Weapons, and Auto cannons took a charge from 10 Genestealers while sitting in cover. Straken was around and they passed their counter attack test. New Stealers didn't have grenades so Guardsmen go first. Wiped them out entirely without even receiving a single hit.

Same blob later took the charge of a Hive Tyrant, wore it down, and eventually killed it.

In an Apoc game I had 4 fire warriors with photon grenades charge a baneblade with 2 structure points left that didn't move the turn before. Got 2 penetrating hits and managed to remove the last 2 structure points without blowing themselves up in the process! Totally epic

My Tau VS SM.

Dawn of War deployment, my friend set up terrain.

In short, my HQ and suit team hopped out from behind a big wall and killed 5 of a Tac squad (which happened to have his Chapter master in it.)

Then my Kroot charged forward (10 man squad with 5 hounds), and proceeded to kill all the rest of the SM except the Chapter Master and a ML.

By the second turn and after a failed test to break away, my Kroot killed the last ML and Chapter Master and took... like 2 casualties from his bad rolling. I then consolidated exactly HALF of the squad back into the woods they came through, enabling me to get cover saves from the following shooting, only loosing 1. That turn he got a tac squad and a Rhino onto the board from reserve; which I proceeded to explode with a Railgun, kill 2 marines with the explosion, shoot them with HQ and pal's plasma, and then assault that squad with the same Kroot that killed the other squad, doing similar damage to this one.

Most epic action with Kroot I've EVER had. Had him down to 3 Terminators and a Whirlwind by turn 4.

In the next battle we had I managed to markerlight the hell out of a Scout Squad and Tellion, DS Stealthsuits with 18" and then kill everyone but Tellion, who died the next turn as he ran away like a coward.

Grotz killing Nightbringer? Sadly thats probably happened to a lot of people.

My 4 marines assaulted a lone commisar, missed him for 3 turns, during which he slowly whittled down my numbers until it was seargent vs. commisar, & the chainsword finally smacked him first!

Like the title says, what great things or simply absurd things have happened during battle?
I'll start it off, my Termagants killed off Abbadon The Despoiler in one turn!

Tyranid Horde

Tell me if this has been done before or not.

i did it with terma gaunts and i wont let my friend hear the end of it.
I mostly like that my plague marine squad surrvived a round of shotting from three of my enemies rapid fire squads, with enough men to charge and nearly wipe out a tatictal squad.

I like it when Grotz kill important units

Last nights successful 2nd Turn WAAAGH! against my friends Dark Angels in a 750pt Capture and Control game in which I completely took out all of his Troop Choices in one fell swoop! This unfortunately left him with nothing to score with against me, allowing my Orkz to gain another victory over the marines! The game lasted less than 20 minutes... our quickest game to date!

had Gazkull with 2 W left, beat the swarmlord in CC, failed his moral, Gaz over ran, then charged a tyranofex, won, fex ran, over ran, then shot by 20 gaunts and hive guards, lived with 1 W. killed 2 guards in CC. he lived but still lost the game..

The Swarmlord is a Synapse Creature, it shouldn't have taken the morale test.

Just recently my 10 Kommandos killed a Necron Lord and 3 Wraiths in one round of combat and only took one casualty. (i rolled five 6's out of six for saves) Then I can opened two Monoliths in the same turn with Meganobz and Mega Armored Warboss. The same Kommandos survived the entire game by making 4 Morale saves. It was a glorious day for the WAAGH!!

A Rhino with nothing in range except an Eldar Avatar. Roll to hit with two storm bolter shots, both hit. Needs 6 to wound. Two wounds. Avatar has 3+ armour. Rolls two 1s.

Did that 35pt Rhino just take half the wounds off an Avatar? Ouch.

I once had a a unit of 5 grey hunters take on a tervigon and 20 hormaguants after 5 rounds of combat the tervigon was dead and the last 5 hormaguants managed to kill my last grey hunter with a mark of the wulfen.

Also something much more impressive is when my ork friend was in a tournament with me and he beat the SoB army that no one else could beat and ended it with one nob hitting the side armor of an exorcist three turns in a row and finally penetrating and and causing it to explode with his nob surviving the explosion in glorious victory.
Part of the reason this victory was so amazing to me was because the other player had cheated and brought 185 more points then anyone else in a 500 point round robin tournament, broken his own codex rules by bringing an assassian without having an iquisitor in his army and shot at an IC that was in a unit with his exorcist. My ork friend is still geting a greasp on the rules so he wasnt sure if thing were right and this being a tournament run between friends (minus the cheater we didn't want him there at all) we were not at the able at the moment so couldnt say this is nor did the cheater supply a list for his army so later i ran his army through army builder on my computer and say how much he had cheated. It goes without saying that he won't be taking part in a tournament with us again, but for my friend to destroy him like that just makes me happy

Killing a 5 man terminator assault squad with about 9 bolter shots...

Hilarious.

My squad of lightning claw deathwing terminators with Belial deepstruck against an IG/SW army (we were doing teams) and proceeded to wipe out a 10-man squad of grey hunters and an entire platoon of guardsmen while only losing one man in four turns (by the way, the aformentioned guardsmen were firing the entire time).

Another epic confrontation happened during an 1850 game of Wolves vs. Orks. On the very first turn, the Ork player rammed a Dreadnought. The Dread death or gloried and rolled 2 6s in a row, blowing the Battlewagon to bits and pieces. In normal rules it should have destroyed the Dreadnought from the Deff Rolla (I later looked it up, and found what happens when a Deff Rolla vehicle gets DoG'd ) but it was still pretty awesome.

Oh, and in the same game, on the same turn, the other Battlewagon rammed the other Dreadnought and despite 5 penetrating hits, failed to kill it by rolling 1, 1, 2, 3, 4. And then the Dread punched it out in the assault phase, being in base contact.

I had a Devilfish troop transport tank shocked a group of wolves with a wolf lord in it (He had a meltagun). My enemy pass his Ld check and then DoG'ed the devilfish with his gun. Rolls a 1 and my devilfish crunched his wolf lord

First one was one of my first games, just learning the rules and what not, and everything that could have possibly gone wrong did go wrong. My friend and I were using the AOBR set, and the orks were good at shooting and crappy at CC, the SM were terrible at shooting (a ML hit his own squad from the scatter, and NOTHING HAPPENED to it,) and great at CC. Everything went awful in every way possible. It was great.

Second one was probably my first time playing GK (pure) with no mech (silly me) and in two turns, I annihilated my friend's Mech Tau army. Did I mention my only anti-tank was a GM with hammerhand?

not my achivement but one of my friends. A rune priest lines up 4 deffkoptas, and ZZAP! All four sink into the wolf-world.

Later in that game, 10 counter-attacking GH win combat against 20 charging ork boyz.

a single ratling winnig a combat vs grimnar and 16 termies...
or mambo vs mambo duel

SM + Imp Gaurd (me) vs necrons...

first plasma cannon shot scattered onto friendly rhino and 5 man squad killing the entire squad and exploding the rhino, then the explosion killed all but 1 of the 10 man squad inside... :( my imperial guard actually killed more SM than the necrons did... basilisks killing entire units and plasma cannons were a terror :( my commisar went along and executed my entire company command squad (commander, regi, vox, plasma, med, master of ordanance, master of the fleet and 3 bodyguards to then be blown up by a plasmacannon

my dad's weirdboy got 'eadbanger in the middle of a massive 2000 point game, ork vs SM and killed everyone except for himself, 5 nobz, 1 battlewagon, 1 rhino and 2 SM... my eldar in the corner were just pissing themselves laughing... (we knew he was gonna do that)

My termagants yet again killed Despoiler by shooting this time. 12 out 16 shots hit and my friend failed one armor save.(he was already on his last wound, still epic though)
