when 5 scouts took down a fresh Dread Knight in 1 turn, by themselves

What were they armed with?????????????????????????

In the last turn of a tournament game that determined who took first place, my wyches and an archon were locked in combat with some orks and a big mek. We were tied for killpoints in the start of the assault phase. The power-claw wielding nob killed the archon, putting the other player ahead by one, but not before my wyches and archon put a hurt on the unit of orks. Despite killing several wyches, the orks lost combat, and failed their leadership even with the reroll from a boss pole and were run down by the remaining wyches, granting me two kill points and winning the tournament.

Managing to kill off an entire unit of FW in one turn with my DC Dreadnought with Blood Talons. Absolutely Hilarious

Sarg had powersword, other 4 (2 w bolters, 2 with CCW)... so they shoot pistols (got a lucky wound)... and charged out of cover into CC with Dreadknight. He annihilated two or three of them (don't remember), but, as its simultaneous attacks... the 4 power weapon attacks and 10 standard attacks got the other 3 wounds. IIRC, 2 of those were from the Scout Sarg and one other attack got through.

Really not that remarkable when you think about it. I never know why people are so intimidated by dreadknights. I've killed 5 so far, with no really significant loses to speak of (Sternguard laugh at these guys within range 12").

I popped 2 vehicles (A landspeeder and a razorback) w/ my Librarians Blood Lance.

Tying up a control and capture game w/ 1 tactical marine and a scout.

Apoc Battle Crons and BA (yes you may facepalm) vs. Tau and IG

(This is pre newcrons)

Necron Lord who has been affectionately named Commander Douchecock by my opponents VoD'd himself and a squad of 5 Heavy Destroyers (unit sized increased thanks to WBB) behind enemy lines where the heavy destroyers took advantage of a Leman Russ Squadron's rear armor and penned all three of them, wrecked one, immobilized another, and Stunned and Weapon destroyed the third. The Tau came in to support the IG and killed 2 heavy destroyers with devilfish and some firewarriors, unfortunately all too close to my lord. Lord equipped also with Nightmare shroud and a Warscythe went into assault with the firewarrior squad, killed two of them (they didn't even put a single wound on the lord) and then finished them off in a sweeping advance when they failed their morale test. My opponent then diverted the Devilfishes attention from the Heavy Destroyers to the lord slaying him or so they thought.... and he gets back up (BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!). The Lord would go onto wrecking another devilfish and Nightmare shrouding a squad of Kroot who ended up running off the board. And then for his grand finale, what was more fitting then a Hellhammer. He marched up to the Hellhammer striking at it's rear armor, 3 hit, 3 pen, and wouldn't you know it, Apocalyptically explodes the sucker 13". Sure Commander Douchecock died in the blast, but that was epic as the explosion took out a chimera, a couple broadsides, wrecked another Leman Russ, and Castellan Creed. It was pure win.

(And with the newcron codex I couldn't just leave my poor Commander to become part of a Royal Court, so I decked him out and use him as an Overlord)

Basically the entirety of my last game was funny as hell with my Nobz squad. The squad ran about 600 points (entirely pimped out with power klaws, with weapons and banners used to differentiate) and basically walked through:

A full squad of Chaos Space Marines
Their Land Raider
2 Crypteks with a Necron Lord
A full squad of Necron Warriors

What made it so amazing was that they took fire the entire time they were out of assault, and took next to no wounds from combined cover saves and FNP. Funnily enough, the same squad then walked through difficult terrain to assault the CSMs and took 5 dangerous wounds.

Ifyou had been fighting Nids, I would have.

Once skimmed with my necron command barge, past an entire blockade of IG forces and shot a Tachyon Arrow (str 10 ap1, infinite range ftw) at the back of the one leman russ type tank that had the biggest gun, leaving him unable to shoot for some time, too bad it didnt explode tho

145 Las Shots on a GK terminator squad.

1 Dead.
I lol'd, then realised which side i was on.

Watching my friend's Chaos Dreadnaught flip out and blow up his Land Raider filled will with Karhne and his Bezerkers

Another great moment was blowing up a different friend's Chaos Land Raider and his Defiler in the same turn (I love Railguns)

Ork Big Shoota Wrecking a Eldar War Walker in one Turn of Shooting

Old One Eye rampages through an IG platoon so I counter charge with my Heroic Senior Officer (not the latest codexes for IG or 'Nids) I wound him once with HSO's PF, he kills everyone but the HSO. Round Two. HSO take two wounds, tallies up two more on Old One Eye, one of which is recovered. Round Three. To set the scene my battle line is just holding, one more turn of combat/ close range shooting and I will wipe out two 'Nid squads, freeing up troops to take out their warriors (hopefully). But, if Old One Eye kills my HSO in this, my turn, combat, he will be free to flank my two platoons and pair of Basilisks in his turn, wrecking any chance of victory I may have The combat starts with Old One Eye causing 5 wounds. So, five 5+ refractor field invulnerable saves. Odds anyone?

My HSO replies and causes four wounds on Old One Eye with his PF, slamming him to the ground

To sum up the rest of the battle he went on to punch a Zoanthrope by himself and finish off two Warriors with the help of a platoon of IG. Fun times

I have a new one from my battle yesterday.

My Vindicare took 4 wounds from a squad of Guardian Jetbikes. He saverd 2 of them, and should have died. Then he saved both with his 6+ FNP!

Another is when on turn 2, Draigo ate his whole armie's firepower, and then took 1 wound from the fire prism. I made so many flukey saves.


In the same game, on turn 1 and 2, Eldrad used Fortune on the Pathfinders, and 2 wounds from perils from both.




In a game last summer, my Zoanthrope ate about 12 Bright Lances and 3 Krak Missiles each of the 5 turn he could be shot. He saved them all. He then went to charge the Warwalker, but took a wound from DT. Over 2 turns, he immobilised and removed all itsd weapons, then 10 Genestealers rushed over and it exploded. Both the avatar and the Zopanthrope died.

Good stories continue

Had to be when a lone shot shot that landed from a Las Pistol took the final wound off Wazdakka Gutsmek. That Sarge in now in my Command Squad.

oh my gosh, just now, my necron overlord single handedly assaulted a joined squad of 3 IG infantries, with a comissar, took no wounds, did 2, commissar fails the morale check TWICE and they all die :O

What is he armed with?

I think one of the best ones happened just last night at my weekly league game. The mission is "Breakout" from the 3rd Edition rulebook (basically the attacker has to get off the board from the center, defender has to stop them). By the last turn, things weren't looking up for me - he had a Land Raider primed and ready to leave the battlefield on my turn, I had nothing to deal with his one Crusader left on the field (immobilized, and I got points for kills) other than some Kans that were slowly making their way towards it through terrain. I have one Nob left out of a 30-man blob with a single wound left, which his Land Raider has just tried to run over by going Cruising.

My last turn:

Squad of kans fires its rokkits, gets one lucky shot and immobilizes the Land Raider that is going to score major points for him.
Other squad of kans finally rolls a 6 through terrain and gets into assault range of the immobilized Raider.
Nob charges the now-immobilized Raider and gets a 6...followed by another 6.
Kans assault the Crusader and roll 7 pens against it, blowing it up.

I won 1702.5 to 297.5. It was an amazingly lucky final turn that turned the game much more in my favor.

After Inquisitor Karamazov charged my Firewarriors, he finished off all but the squad leader. Prior to this, plasma brought him down to two wounds. You see where this is going. Oh yes. I roled a 5 and a 6, two hits. TWO sixes...two wounds. Anyone care to guess his Armor Saves rolls? Snake Eyes. we both just stared at the dice until i started laughing my butt off

I had a very satisfying moment this Wednesday.

Was playing with a new mates at our LGC in a 2 vs 2 Anihillation mission. My CSM and Tau vs SM and Tau.

Anyways, the IF player has a serious dislike for Word Bearers, which I collect. There was a lot of friendly smack talk flying around. It quickly came round to units on the field. I had standard CSM's with MoK and power fist, he had a Termi Captain with TH/SS( his pride and joy). He boasted that he would get the charge, but I managed to get it, just. I also got the opposing Tau players Crisis Commander too. Anyway combat ensues and My standard marines fail to cause any unsaved wounds, as does the Crisis commander. So it came down to the PF Asp Champ and Captain to finish the fight. I rolled 3 hit, 2 wounds, Termi Captain instant kills.uld get the charge, but I managed to get it, just. I also got the opposing Tau players Crisis Commander too. Anyway combat ensues and My standard marines fail to cause any unsaved wounds, as does the Crisis commander. So it came down to the PF Asp Champ and Captain to finish the fight. I rolled 3 hit, 2 wounds, Termi Captain instant kills 2 of my marines. He rolls for his invulnerable saves. Snake eyes. One dead termi Captain!

Word Bearers not so tough, eh? I think we made our point!

New one.

Scout Sgt with Melta Bombs kills Ravager(a Chaos Reaver) Titan in one go.

He infiltrates 12" away, and in his turn he moves, runs (Shrike made him fleet!) and assaults. Hits and Penetrates and rolls continuous 6s!
After 5 Chain Reactions and a Structural Damage, he Apoc Explodes it!

He rolled 29" for range! Sure, my 100pts of scouts, but he lost about 2500 pts of Plague Marines!

watching my death company dread equipped with blood talons rip apart 2 full squads of boys and 2 nobs

My tyranids versus a guard army holding out in a base. We were using the forgeworld electric fields, set up in a box at four points, and this was 4th edition. So I was throwing endless waves of gaunts to try and overload the fields losing dozens of gaunts. They brought up guard to rapid fire and flamer my gaunts. But just at that moment the field collapsed and the beam realigned to the nearest point and scythed through an Imperial guard squad; turning them to ash with their own weapons.

AoBR Dread vs a Stompa, fired the multimelta at around 15". First hit, pen, chain reaction, chain reaction, chain reaction, chain reaction, wrecked......I was hoping it would explode too, but still, it was epic.

Not really amazing, since it's Marbo and amazing is just a normal day for him.....

Dropped him into cover in front of tiberius and 10 legion of the damned that had just been "blinked" up the field by tiberius. Threw an demolition charge, wounded them all, all 10 legion failed their 3+ invuln save. :-D

Playing 1500 points, my vulkan led salamanders vs chaos demons. He gets turn 1, and dumps the fateweaver in front of my gunline. I shoot everything at him (a full LRC, a pred, 2 full tac squads, a 10 man scout sniper squad, and a lascannon dread). Nothing gets past the 2+ invuln. My last shooting unit, the rhino, fires the storm bolter. 2 hits, 2 wounds, it goes through his armor. He fails leadership, and promptly leaves the table (special rule of his). My opponent was dumbstruck. We ended up tying for objectives.

GUTTED

This one was for my opponent, but still a great one.

I'm again playing 1500 with my salamanders against dark eldar. Turn one my land raider gets exploded by dark weapons, so vulkan and the 7 termies come piling out. Turn two, wyches assault the termies, I loose combat by like one wound, so morale check on ld 10. 12. Damn. And since they haven't moved at all, I'm extremely close to the board edge. I roll for run distance, 4". So not enough for the auto regroup. Next turn roll for distance and they are off the board. Something like 700 points, dead in 2 turns without them doing anything. Awesome.
