In a recent game, I had a Libby dread roll perils of the warp twice in two turns, once stunning it, and the other blowing an arm off. Then in combat, a berzerker actually got a melta bomb to stick, blowing the other arm off. It didn't kill a model after that.

Well, one of the russes should have been left on the table and treated as a single immobilized unit. The last vehicle becomes a single unit in a squadron. Or maybe we did it right because it was simultaneous?

because It happened simultaniously!

I once had an entire company of space marines. I sent them in to defeat an entire orc army. First turn I roll all 1's for all weapons. Then the cheapstack next turn rolls 6 on all rolls! RULE.1 DON'T BORROW DICE!
So Next time i faced him I brought the entire 10th company. KIlled him and pwned the entrire army.

Yep, kinda what we thought. Lost 3 russes in a blink of an eye.

Seeing A Librarian in Terminator Armour die to a Laspistol fired by IG Sergeant who was falling back at the time . The Libby also fail his FNP roll as well .

Anyone remember the "Bouncing Betty" rules for vehicles?
I recall a game where one player destroyed a Pred, it bounced into one rhino, which then bounced into another rhino. 3 vehicles destroyed with one shot.... and the player with the tanks rolled all the bounces.

My old 7 attack on charge Khorne Daemon Prince hit with all 7 attacks - now at S8 he needed 2's to instant kill the marine chaplain who had caused so many deaths...7 1's.

In fantasy had 3 Kroxigore, 3A each manage to roll 8 1's to hit, and then rolled a 1 to wound (on 2's, of course...)

I have to bow down to the unluck in this thread so far. Holy crap, these are some bad stories. I've got a few of my own, though.

Friend of mine (playing GKs) charges a 10-man squad into a 3-man Grey Hunter squad through cover. What happened over the next two rounds (Yes, two) of combat was a shock. First round - my Mark of the Wulfen GH rolls a 5 (so 8 attacks thanks to Counter-Attack). Through luck of the dice, rolls 6 wounds. Then the squad hits with another 4. What happened next? 3 1s and 3 2s on armor saves to protect his GKs. Then his Justicar, who needed 3s to hit and 2s to wound, managed to totally suck it up, rolling not a single wound. Cue another failed fearless wound, and he's down to 3 men in one round (and all of mine are still up despite having to roll half a dozen armor saves)

Second round hits, my pups hit hard again, landing 3 Rending shots and a handful of regular wounds. His Justicar finally lives up to his reputation, though, and slices through all three of my Wolves in one round. Still, he lost 9 out of 10 models in that combat, and my LRR was about 8 inches away for the next round with a Flamestorm ready to go.

The other one I had was against an Ork player at my FLGS. Near the end, when I was hoping to still pull off a victory (despite having lost my LRR and an entire 6-man term squad to a burnawagon) with a couple squads of Grey Hunters. One was in a Rhino, and my plan was to get them close, pop out, and rip a squad to pieces with overwhelming attacks. So, what happens? A one-shot rokkit launcher goes off. It was really interesting seeing my facial expressions throughout the whole thing, because...

"Roll to hit. Well, it's an Ork, so it's still a 5+ to manage it." (Rolls a 6)
"Huh. Well, needs to pen the thing, and he needs a 4 if he wants to destroy it." (Rolls a 6)
"After that, there's no way he'll get this lucky. Any damage result other than explodes, and I can charge next turn." (Rolls a 6)
Me:

I death or gloried with a maxed out CSM Lord with a thunder hammer in 4th to a rhino......totally failed it. That sucked pretty damn hard
