Had a winged hive tyrant that wanted to jump up on some ruins to om nom some eldar rangers that were being pests. Took a wound from a failed difficult terrain roll when he landed. Assaulted into the rangers and completely whiffed, while they tacked on another wound. On his turn I whiff again and they pile on two more wounds...one dead hive tyrant and they had not a scratch...

When ever i use my Eldar Snipers they deside to use paintballs because whenever they shoot they hit with flying colors, i mean like 5s and 6s but when i role to wound it just stops working so in course my snipers dont like to kill things?

Anything to hit.. And armor saves.. And to wound.. And cover saves.. And moral tests.. And scatter dice.. And reserves rolls . . . .

Not really luck, more like I'm an idiot, but I was just playing an apoc game to the death with my friend yesterday and we were both down to one unit left and he ended up killing me. I turned around to put my fallen commander on the shelf and saw I forgot to bring in 3 squads of stormtroopers and marbo from reserves. It was turn like 8 or something so they would have come automatically and I would have easily finished him off.
Ugh.

Ok situation is 5 guardsmen against my 5 decked out khorne termies 5 lasgun shots at almost exactly 24 inches 5 hits 5 wounds 5 1s for saves. I have not fielded termies since exept for termicides.

Rolling five 1s from six wounds for my Terminator saves

this happened today: 12 wounds on vet squad, allocate around. 11 pass cover. 1 fails. the sergeant!!!!! roll leadership, an 8!!!!! ahhhhh.. :( fall back.

Worst game ever was against a Tau palyer when I got the bright idea to keep all my forces in reserve except my Vendetta, which was to deep strike. Second turn starts and my command squad comes in and my vendetta deepstrikes with it's melta vets, but mishaps and makes a nice crater. I fire with my command squad instead of move and since they all carry plasma, they all self destruct. All my reserve come in 4th round (or 3rd, I forget), but the Tau player has long since had a gunline ready for this and in the next two turns he manages to annihilate all my forces and I think I manage to take out 4 firewarriors...

I assaulted my friend's DP with 2 assault marines. 4 attacks. 4 wounds. 4 failed saves. One dead DP.

Charged ork warboss with my Ironclad after popping the transport, 4 attacks on the charge and all I needed was one wound to cause ID, roll to hit + + + =

getting surronded by 500 gaunts. And yes that is the number. 5 Trygons, and 2 hive tyrants. I was slaughtered... My allies abandoned me.

One of my games, 2 dreadnoughts, immobilised and weaponless held up approximately 13 ork MA for three turns.

Me trying to kill tanks with lascannons or meltas.....I always seem to roll a 1 for armor pen, and the few times i do pen, I roll a 1 or 2

after all the effort of getting/ assembling a bunch of stormboys and zagstruk. deep striking in a fairly open area..
I scatter, roll insanely high and mishap.. destroying them all
sufficed to say I lost pretty badly

I was playing IG, my friend was playing Daemons. He had a Soul Grinder and he fired it's Str 8 ordnance shot against one of my platoons, which he wanted to thin down before charging in with a DP. The blast scatttered 12" and only hit 5 guardsmen. He then rolled 4 1s out of 5 for his wound rolls. Then, his DP charged in and only killed about 2 guardsmen and was then, killed by the sheer amount of attacks it suffered in return.

I can beat that. Scout squad assaults DP. It takes the DP3 turns to kill 4 scouts, while the sarge inflicts 3 wounds. The sarge flees when reinforcements (PF/SB termies) arrive. Termies are killed over 2 turns. sargeant Caddius levels his bolt pistol, and the round goes straight into the daemon's howling maw. I would post his other great kills, but I feel I have posted his victories in basically every thread about this kind of thing.

My first try using a biker boss. I charged him at a LR holding a libby in it, totally forgetting about the hits land according to the distance moved. Needed alot of 6s, so obviously failed horribly. His entire army shot at him and he luckily saved/dodged the attacks until one lucky razorback with HB finally killed him. After that I was just tabled. It was terribad

missing both of my fateweavers saves and runs away

best luck I have had-
5 TH/SS termies and lysander wiping out 60 gaunts, 2 carnifexes, 2 hive guard, a trygon, 5 warriors, a warrior prime, a ripper swarm, 10 genestealers and a partridge in a pear tree.

I once charged 8 Sisters into 6 Fire Warriors in some cover. The terrain had dangerous when charging from the direction I was going into, and one sister dies on that. I didn't have grenades, so they go first and manage to kill a sister. I strike back and kill only one warrior, and stay in. His assault phase, we continue, I kill no Warriors, he kills 2 more sisters, and I run. I luckily didn't get swept. I rolled a "2" on that initiative test and was scared shitless of getting SWEPT BY FIREWARRIORS. Geez...

Fire 20 bolter rounds into each of my opponents two guard squads, hit 6 total, wound 2, guard pass their 5+ cover saves.

They proceed to pop BOTH Tactical Marine squads in the subsequent rounds... with 60 Lasguns to each squad, Squad one takes 25 wounds, all die. Squad two takes 15 wounds, all die. You could imagine my disbelief...

55 lasgun shots.
29 hits.
9 wounds.
0 dead Marines.

:(

I bought some Necrons once. That was pretty unlucky.

Awesome armor meet the instakill template of my Banewolf. And lasguns suck. But I'm supposed to be able to take so many of them that it stops mattering.

I had all my plasma marines die to guns overheating. In the end what should have been a easy victory against Tyranids turned into a blood bath of marines falling over to their own weapons and the rest struggling with T6 monsters.
