I suppose my epic kill would be my Ghazghkull seriously spanking a LRR to oblivion in the one round!!!
If it wasn't that one (due to big G being very 'ard!) then it would be the time my Canis Wolfborn killed an entire unit of CSM including Lucius the Eternal!
Vulkan He'stan fighting 1v1 against the Avatar while doomed. Vulkan kills the avatar without taking a wound. Decides that is not enough and goes and kills a whole squad of banshees too without taking a wound.

Commander Shepard: Let me know if it's too quiet for you to sleep, and I'll find you someplace louder.

Also pretty awesome was my Firewarriors getting assaulted by 4 Deffkoptas, beating them in close combat, and then wiping them out in a sweeping advance! That's still the only time I've gotten a kill point to a sweeping advance!
In a bid to stop/stall my Bloodthirster from overtaking his 2 man CSM squad (currently holding an objective), my roommate charged it with his Dreadnought, Daemon Prince, and Sorcerer. I immediately killed the Dread, took no wounds. On my turn, I put all my attacks on the Prince and finish him off. Even with Warptime going, Sorcerer does nothing (5's to hit, 6's to wound ;D), fails morale, and runs far, far away. The two CSM proceed wetting their Power Armor. Bloodthirster rules.
Single Sorceror gets assaulted by Vulkan and five Terminators. He survives the eight attacks with his invulnerable save and kills one terminator. On my turn, Gift of Chaos turns Vulkan into a Spawn and the two of them finish off the termies.
Arguing with some people is like playing chess with a pigeon. You can play the best chess in the world, but at the end of the day the pigeon will still knock all the pieces off the board and then gak all over it.

Not to spoil your fun or anything, but the Shas'O is actually the sceond best Tau unit at CC.
This happened maybe a year ago and proves one thing, dice are finnicky sometimes. I was playing IG VS a friends SM
He's a big Calgar fan tosses him with an hourguard all decked out in a LR.
I'm a big Sui Vendetta/vet fan
I scout move over, blow up his LR lose a guy in the explosion. He passes all of his 2+
I thinking how much this is going to hurt ...
He assaults into me for some extra movement; rolled bad for his DT.
Proceeds to wiff hardcore only killing 1; I proceed to giggle a lil bit and roll my return attacks, next thing I know he rolls a ton of 1's and all of his Honor Guard are dead ...
Calgar swings kills a guy ...
next round of combat I get 2 wounds on Calgar; than proceed to run away after losing combat by 1
Proceed to GetBackInTheFight and melta his punk butt off the table

I was playing some tau with my footslogging IG. An infantry squad ran upon a group of crises suits that had been getting slapped around all game and only had one suit left. They opened fire with all 9 guardsmen rapid firing their lasguns. Did nothing. I roll sergeants laspistol shot last (I like to put special emphasis on how it never kills or even hits.), roll double 6's, tau player rolled a one, dead crises suit.
It was one of those "this is how you kill things you idiots" moments

My 11 ork boys to an archon and 5 incubi.
Gork and Mork must smile upon me. all 5 incubi went down! then I find out the archon has a husk blade... It was still awesome anyway
15 burnas in a Battlewagon non-chalantly lumbered up 2 massive squads of genestealer and a Mawloc... was able to lay the single template accross the two squads and barely graze the Mawloc.
No more 'stealers and Mawloc rolled a bunch of s.
epic....
Also wiped out a TWC squad with this setup.... That was awesomesauce!
Boyz squad barely gets in range to charge a Vendetta full of vets. The Boyz do nothing, as expected, but the nob penetrates with his klaw and it explodes. Seven of the ten vets then die in the blast. All we could figure was that the nob executed a flawless shoryuken through the infantry compartment.
A single 'Nid Gargoyle left out of a squad, sat in charge range of 3 Necron destroyers.
We talked the Nid player into charging, as something to do, and he ended up wiping the squad when a single wound routed them.
That gargoyle has pride of place in that player's army.

Last night St. Cellestine was charged by mephestion. They killed eachother, later in the game she got back up and wiped the enemy troop squad contesting my objective, thus winning me the game.

Probably my old Dark Angels army from about eleven years ago. Five Scouts get assaulted by sixteen Hormagaunts. Over three rounds they defeat and wipe out the gaunts for the loss of only one scout, who are then charged by a Tyrant who has lost one wound and kill it over another two rounds for the loss of another scout.
Those boys where made full Marines shortly afterward I am sure.
What makes it all the more more funny in my mind, was I was certain they where done for the moment they got charged in the 2nd turn, no way I could have predicted my great rolling and my mates terrible rolling for the rest of the battle on that combat.
