orks(me) vs. space marines and eldar. I on, but we were all pretty new. At least we had a vague idea of what we were doing, besides thing fnp was a 3+ and you had to take a Ld test at the begining of every turn for each unit for some reason. As I recall it had no major effects on the game, because all of our guys had decent ld. One Tac squad of marines fell back a few inches at some point, but regrouped the next turn. We might have botched up the to-hit system in cc too.

Bonus points for playing an army with godlike firepower and not starting with Spess Mahreens.

I used my friends Dark Eldar to take on his Space Marines. I predictibly got crushed.

Clearly you are talking about Imperial Guard...

18 years ago. Played in a 40k demo game. Well, Rogue Trader at the time...I was using a squad of IG and a lascannon tarantula. That's all I remember. I guess the opponents were probably Orks.

First actual army was Space Marines.

The first game I ever played was a RTT Tourney at my FLGS. I brought my 2000 points of newly painted orks and was "unluckily" paired up with another ork player with 25 years of experience. He was very forgiving of my being a noob and all, but needless to say, I was tabled around turn 3.

My first army was Eldar and my first game I played against Space Marines and lost

First army I played would be Necrons V. Nids, I managed to win with mobility somehow, but first army I bought would be Dark Angels

Eldar vs Space marine in Epic. I played against my nephew.

Ultra Marines Vs Tau... I lost a 5 man tactical squad in close combat against firewariors and my dreadnaught died to an etherial meele attack. How did this happen?

Back in the RT days we played Orks Vs SM but we were young had little understanding of points and just played 30 Orks V 30 Marines (I was Orks). At the time I Never could figure out why i lost so many games....hmmmmm.
