Frenzied Berserker Terminator
Hatfield, PA
|
My two favs happened in the same game years ago (during 2nd edition):
1) Cyclone missile launcher fully fired for the big massive template over my unit of 20 purestrain genestealers and not a single 'stealer died.
2) Facing a "space wolves army" that included 2 units of space wolf termies, 2 leman russ tanks and a ton of other army special characters (annoying 2nd edition force). Lone genestealer attacked a leman russ, got a penetrating hit on the track and caused the tank to flip over and land on all of the special characters that were hiding near it killing them all.

Ultramarine Terminator with Assault Cannon
|
WARNING! The following is based on actual events.
SM vs. GK
Annihilation
Bottom of turn 7 - SM kill points: 2 GK kill points 6
It's the assault phase. The only way for me to win is to table the GK player. He has exactly one Paladin left on the table and he's locked in combat with the single TH/ SS terminator that's left of my assault terminator squad.
Hits are exchanged... I wound once with my thunder hammer...
The whole game comes down to a single die roll. If the Paladin makes his 5+ invulnerable save, the GK's win. If the Paladin fails... I win.
The die hits the table, bounces, rolls a little ways (it's epic, silent, and seems to last forever like the final die roll from that Robin Williams movie Jumanji)... The die stops, teeters on its axis and lands... two.

Bounding Black Templar Assault Marine
|
After a couple decades playing this game in its various editions, one of the most memorable moments occured last year when playing my Vanilla Marines against a Blood Angel player. I had a unit of 10 Scout Snipers sitting on top of a building plinking away at the various Blood Angel units when Astrogath the Grim came jump packing into their midst on turn 2. When Astrogath left the roof he had killed all the scouts but he was there until turn 6 and had only one wound left.
Had less to do with my luck or ability and more to do with my opponents inability to hit or wound my scouts. Of course that Astrogath model was somewhat unlucky as in an earlier game against me (actually his intiial appearance in our games I believe) he deepstruck from reserves and face planted into a rocky outcrop like Wil E Coyote.

When my brother declared to shoot my orks with his favourite and best-painted guadian called "Gerd" handling the weapon-platform, and then it scattered right over his farseer who had been freed of his bodyguard by my shootas the previous turn. The shot woundet him, and he laughed and said "haha I'm in a fortification 3+ cover so he isn't woundt jet!"Rolls, 2. Ha!
The seer was then killed next turn by a lucky big shoota boy called "Mef", who also made it pt this 3+ save

Purposeful Hammerhead Pilot

6 vanilla Pathfinders (Tau) holding out for not one...not two...but three turns of close-combat with a full health Daemon Prince of Slaanesh.
They wounded him on the first turn (Pushing combat since the Prince only killed 1 Pathfinder), holding fast the second turn after losing 4 Pathfinders (Needing a 4 and rolling a 3 for their Ld check), and the Shas'ui squad leader not taking a wound on the third turn.
He got munched the next turn, but tying up the Prince almost won me the game, and annoyed my CSM opponent to no end

Imagine the feeling when you position your tanks, engines idling, landing gear deployed for a low profile, with firing solutions along a key bottleneck. Then some fether lands a dreadnought behind them in a giant heat shielded coke can.

People say Necron's are crap in close combat normally I'd agree, but 1 lord with a war-scythe, and a tomb spyder tearing into a black templar command squad and wiping them off the table in one assault phase seemed to prove otherwise.  the Lord actually was killed in combat, but thanks to phylatery got up after combat with 3 wounds again.

This one's not miine, but from some guy from this same site. He was playing Apoc, I think (I don't know too much about Apoc), IG versus orks. So the ork guy sent some Tankbustas against one of his tanks. The kill the tank and one guardsman gets off the thing. Now, the orks assaulted the poor guardsman. He got hit 17 times... And got all his armor saves  Now, that was the last turn of the game and there was this rule that said that if the tank crew isn't killed, the tank mdoesn't count for victory points. The guard won just by those points.

Really diggin that last bit.
Too bad it reminds me of this one time my Farsight got stuck with some fire warriors in combat with 5 scarabs, but for the life of me those scarabs wouldn't dare fail their "failed combat" saves for over 3 turns and somehow eventually dragged down the "ever whiffing attacks" Farsight. I was not a happy camper that day.

Drop Trooper with Demo Charge
|
I'd have to say my best moments in 40k were when i got the basilisk in my ig army. for two reasons (I tend to overdo it on upgrading so had/have a bad casual army) 1st the first match i played my friend with the basilisk in, in which i narrowly won 5-4 killpoints. I loved the moment so much because we played on a smaller sized board than normal and he owns Space wolves which equalled bad for me. and also because that same day we had finished secondary school and had a full english breakfast as a celebratory dinner, were joyful and then this match, this glorious match turned up and just exhausted me for the day. Its also because of this i was able to memerise the whole battle straight away and wrote a battle report of the top of my head to my other friend later on.
The second would be in a recent game where i was set to play csm in a 2000 points. but then was vs.ing a horde ork army (same person) which was better cause i include mostly flamers in my army (and in the list i wrote i had a hellhound,2lrbt's, a basilisk and a medusa) so i was certanly fine with the hast change. the next day when i showed up to vs him there was a 3rd change of plan. it was my new-mech ig 2000pts with horde army 2000pts against tau 2000 and sm 2000. now hears a heads up, the sm player bought most of his models at once and doesnt even know most of the rules. he ended up being a little over 2000 (by about 300pts, 'little') and the tau player under by about 500-600. I, in the rush of craters and lack of space instinctively placed long range weps all around (making 4hvy supports, which tau player had also done.) the whole thing ended up taking about an hour to setup and one turn in i had wiped 3 squads of tau (all pie plates hit) off the field. orky had placed himself in diff terrain and made slow progress but provided brilliant cover for me. in turn 2 for some reason i can't remember the sm player was demoralised and didnt want to play anymore. i didnt even get a chance to put my platoon on the field!! bearing in mind i had manufactured half my army by paper cut outs which will come later.
in the end the final game ened up being me and my sw friend against orks and tau. tau player didnt really want to play against me again but was a good sportsman and still played. we got 2 turns in (during the sm player returned and repeatedly asked who was winning) and in which nearly all pieplates hit again (a rather different spot of luck i was having today) mostly on the orks aso with the hellhound doing its bit as well as the MoO for once. in total this was not best enough as my best moment when another guy showed up looked at the pieces of paper on the board said "whats these? these won't do" wandered off brought back a HUGE box, opened it and pulled out a chimera a hellhound 2 leman russes and a chimera to use as the medusa. this is the best moment in my gaming life., the pure good heartedness of others when it comes to the game.

Reminds me of a very memorable battle I watched once, Orks vs. Tau. The Tau player managed to charge a near-full squad of Kroot into a 5-man squad of Loota Boyz, in terrain. The Lootaz hit back, killed half of them, and the Kroot didn't do anything. They ran, and the next turn the Lootaz killed the rest of them as they fled. Just another testament to the uselessness of Kroot (especially when luck is not on their side!).

In one of my first games, IG vs 'Nids. He burrows a Mawloc right behind my cover and about 3 inches from a guard squad. I decide the smart thing to do is to charge it. The Mawloc died in 4 turns, and I only lost 3 guardsmen. The look on his face was priceless!

Mine was when my carnifex charged Arjac Rockfist, who had all of his 3 wounds remaining. It rolled a 1 with its crushing claws, and so had 6 attacks that ignore armour saves. It hit with 4 and wounded with 3, and he rolled 3 1s when rolling for his 3+ inv. saves! He then caused 3 wounds in return, which wasn't enough to kill it! (After the battle he remembered that he could reroll failed to hit.  It helped me to a draw from a tough situation.

Boosting Black Templar Biker

Bob Thraka.
I have a policy--whenever something truly awesome happens on the field, I name my little war dudes. So far, only one mind-alteringly awesome event of pure win has occurred, and it was me (Orks) vs Grey Knights (old 'dex).
It's around turn 4, and at that time in my gaming career I fielded horde orks. Naturally they'd been torn to gak at that time, and of a 30 boy squad, only their nob and 6 slugga boyz remain. Grey Knights are on top of their wrecked Trukk, bringing what ranged weapons to bear that they can. Knocks off 3 boyz. Not within assault range, so they can't make it. But I can.
We move forward and fire out a volley of slugga rounds. Takes out two GK terminators--three menacing figures (no pun intended) remain on their busted ride. They rush in and charge, and the boyz do nothing in combat. Grey Knights whiff in CC, and the Nob remains. He swings and connects with all of his attacks. GK player rolls his saves and results in a 1, 1, 1, 2. Bob Thraka wiped them all.
Now, at this point I'd like to mention that at the time, it was a losing battle. I was down by at least 5 KP and would have had to table him with what little forces I had left. Wasn't going to happen. But, in that moment, Bob Thraka was born. He hasn't died in a game yet.

Nasty Nob

I played with DE against orks, and it looks quite bad for me with only wyches and jetfighter left. Then my wyches with +1 attack combat drugs, FNP and hydra gauntlets (which somehow always gave me +6 attacks) caused a unit of nobs with a big mek to flee, but they couldn't get them as they was also in combat with a deff dread. Then of course the game ended, the fleeing nobs and mek giving me one more kp than the orks had.
