The Emperor protect.......................his champion.

My most epic moment is when the emperor's champion got charged on turn 2 by abbadon and 3 Chaos termies. By the end of the game the emperor's champion had killed all the termies, abbadon, 1 rhino, and a unit of possessed. I have never made so many 4+ invulves in my life.

The Emperor Protects.

The other most epic moment in my entire career was when there was a summoned greater daemon and a daemon prince right by by predator (full lascannon setup, machine spirit, pinicle mount storm bolter, and Hunter kill Missle.) The daemon prince and the greater daemon are getting ready to assault the tank in the next turn after it offed 2 defilers. Well, the tank had other plans. I shoot the lascannons and the hunterkill missle at the summoned greater daemon and I kill it (He failed all his saves) then i machine spirit the stormbolter to finish off the wounded daemon prince with doing another 2 wounds to him. THat predator proceded to killl a landraider and som infantry in the remaining 3 turns.

It is sad to say but whenever i play that guy my predator is #1 on his hitlist for the game, even before my LRC and Emperors champion.

Thats Awesome!

success by opponent idiocy?

Na.....he hit with one, wounded one. I had 7 attacks made 4, got 4 more attacks, S10 2D6 armor pen. Do the math.

Another explosion story, not mine. Game is Orks vs. Chaos Space Marines. On the last turn, there's one Land Raider that had moved into the center of the table to avoid the couple of things coming on the board from Reserves. One squad of Boyz with the Warboss, with one wound left, rumble up, Waaagh!, and charge the Land Raider. The Warboss swings at it with his Klaw, and...

6 to hit.
6 to pen.
6 to the result.
6 to wound Kharn, who's sitting inside the Raider with one wound left.
Kharn takes his armor save...and a 1 shows up. The CSM player then rolls his own explosion against the Warboss, rolls a 6 to wound, and the Warboss fails his save.

It was truly an awesome moment - both HQs getting taken out in the same explosion.

Back in the day (2002 I think) I played a game vs a marine player with my classic Dark Eldar, it was a defenders thing and he set up his entire force in these 2 bunkers.

1st turn thanks to a mix of good rolls on his part and poor on mine, he shoots down most of my army, lost my raiders, lost my ravager and half of my infantry including most of my archons retinue.

2nd turn he finishes off everything bar my Archon and 1 incubi and 2 warriors in her retinue and something like 4 standard warriors (which I believe fled). All this and I've managed to take down about 4 marines.

For the following 3 turns my Archon walks accross the field and passes every save (and the incubi I think), she assaults the first bunker and through sheer luck one hits it, thing explodes in an impressive manner and wipes out everything inside as it explodes, she sweeping advances towards the other bunker, my opponent now tries to escape and fails his DT roll to get out of the bunker - only 1 inch on both dice and he needed 3-4+ shoots my archon and she fails the last save - there goes her 2+ shadow field.

My turn she reaches the bunker and punches it... failing.
Next turn he fails to get out of it again, she somehow survives with a single wound out of it then punches the bunker and it explodes.

Won with only my Archon left standing on the field.


Also - Less a successful but certainly one of the most hilarious.

Had a friend with a guard army and he loved running 3 Basilisks (early 2000's again). In one game he successfully managed to take out roughly 2/3 of his own army with hilariously bad scattering culminating in them wrecking themselves, also with bad scattering.

Unwounded Emperors champion charged my nurgling base and died.

Everytime my Krootless Tau prove that i'm right in saying they have, over the course of 3 years, been more successful in melee than they have with shooting.

Lictors have gone down to fire warrior combat, harlies have gone down to fire warrior combat, a throne of judgement was held up by a single crisis suit for 2/3 of the game (game ended and they were still locked in combat) after his buddy was fried by the throne's multi-melta, broadsides have swept assaulters...

They can't shoot for toffee though; couldn't hit an Emperor-Class Titan if it danced naked in front of my army.

Do you have weighted dice or something? Lol.

No, but I think they have minds of their own. I had a Fantasy game not long ago and rolled 6s like you wouldn't believe for saves, but the games after that I barely rolled anything better than a 4.

They'd also have to only be weighted for Tau combat, the last game I had with Tau, I killed nothing in the first turn, from a total of 10 Crisis Suits, two Broadsides, two Hammerheads, 20 Fire Warriors, a Devilfish and 6 Pathfinders. Nothing. After that wasn't much better either; the game depended on a Terminator Chaplain dying, but nothing hit or wounded him, not even railguns or plasma; the only wound he'd taken had been from submunition.

I play Chaos Marines.

I used a Rhino with a Dozer Blade to Tank Shock threw difficult terrain to make 20 fire warriors run off the board to clear a node. It ended with a tie but considering I had a rhino, 2 obliterater and 1 single marine left against a few broadsides, the fire warriors, devil fish and his crisis suit HQ, i think i scored the moral victory.

Nurgle Daemon Prince w/ Warptime vs. Hive Tyrant with Lash Whip/Bonesword and Tyrant Guard.

feth yeah hitting on 3's pays off sometimes.

It sure does!!!

What is the DP's WS?The Tyrant would have reduced you to Int 1,and then they would have pummelled you.

How does the hive Tyrant do that?

Lash whiops reduce you to Int 1,if youm are in B2B with a modal armed with one.The tyrant guard can reroll ones to hit in combat and have rending claws.They can replace their claws for more lash whips.Or bonswords but claws are better.

Ohh. Thats awesome!

I had to guardsmen in a chimera...some SW terminators landed next to them via deep stike. A random lascannon blew their chimera up and I passed pinning...somehow taking no wounds (after saves). The terminators shot them that turn...I went to ground. Next turn they shot them with storm bolters again and again afterward he charged them into the crater. At some point he lost one guy I don't remember how as it was a long time ago. Obviously I went first, dealing 4 wounds...me likey. He then promptly failed 2 of his armor saved. He didn't hit me at all on the swing back. The terminators failled morale and ran...somehow I caught them and as they are now subject to fearless he had two more armor saves to make. At which point he promptly failed both...so a squad of 10 basic guardsmen with no power weapons, after being shot twice by terminators and having their own Chimera blow up on them, stood and took a charge from terminators only to beat them in CC, and ultimately putting all of his army out of range and my LRBT pounded the puppies to give me the win in the game and the tournament.

Just the other day I was using my SW against IG.

Never doubt the power of a humble guardsmen...side note me and a buddy were playing doubles and he had 2 guardsmen get charged by a chaos terminator champ with 2 LC...the terminator only killed one guardsmen and the other guardsmen killed the terminator with a bayonet to the eyeslit.

Also saw a squad of genestealers take out a defiler...ahhh 40K thanks for all the times.

That is not that impressive.Genestealers beat everything in combat.

Confused.

Akroma said that a stealer squad took out a defiler.I replied that it qwasn't overly impressive,as they are monsters in CC.

My five man scout squad took out 9 CSM in melee, and then the next turn they blew up a landraider with a long distance combi melta shot. Hell yeah.

Indirect fired defiler, ork battlewagon filled with nobs, 6 on the ordinance table, goodbye to everything. 1st ard boy tourney, opponent gave up it was priceless.

Really? I was shocked...keep in mind it was like 2 guys vs a huge defiler that was kitted out for combat as well.

Are defilers good?

If it was 2 guys that was impressive.However you simply said squad,which makes me think it was a 10ish sized unit.
