Mine was probably beating Marines with my Tyranids, starting with blowing up a Land Raider with one spore mine from one biovore (with the REAL biovore that let you run all three kinds) and killing the entire unit inside. First turn and it was all over but the shouting.

Lone Salamanders assault marine charges a full unit of kroot with hounds. Kroot don't hit. Salamander kills 1. Kroot fail their morale check, fall back, and get run down by Salamander.

I believe that model got converted into a veteran sergeant.

1 purifier got into cc with Logan and 2 wolfguard.. Killed them both in one round. That or the game I had the vindicare shoot 3 monoliths in 3 straight shooting phases.

A single Sanguinary Guard downing a Carnifex by himself.

Wiped out a 5 man termy squad with shooting from 20 orks with sluggas

Each shot has about 2.8% chance of killing a termy, so killing 5 is happytimes!

You may want to re-read Living Lightning. It's not actually even capable of killing 10 grots, let alone having an appreciable chance of killing a majority of them.

Veterans, meet Kharn. Kharn, meet a humiliating death by lasgun butt.

Chimera getting melee'd by Belial and his Term squad, blows up, kills three, failed leadership test sees them run off the board.

I field all of my Chimera's all the time now.

Deathwing is Fearless.

Marbo sneaks up to a squad of termies in the open, goes to throw his charge only for it to blow up in his hand.

I had aimed it on a termie about 5 inches away. The charge scattered 5 inches straight back towards marbo. He was smack in the center, then failed his gtg cover save.

Biggest fluke, i think my melta vets w/ shot guns shooting a tryanid trygon, only wounding it twice. with no other option but to see them go next turn, decided to assault. surprisingly, the trygon fell to the ground, and, i only lost two vets. that will never happen again, no matter what.

I castled a Devastator Squad, three tactical squads, and a termi squad with a whirlwind, LRC and Demolisher Cannon and was tabled by footslogging orks by turn 4... dice hated me that game.

I have a few candidates here...

- Changeling for causing Captain Shrike to be shot in the back by one of his own men. The man in question had a lascannon.
- Platoon Sergeant for punching Korsorro Khan in the nuts with his power fist, then surviving to tell the tale. The Captain was obviously too busy going 'owwwwwwwwwwwww' to chase him down.
- Same Platoon Sergeant taking down an Eldar Autarch in close combat. "Why does you sniper squad have a power fist?" NEVER ASK THAT QUESTION!
- Random lone Tactical Marine killing a Fortuned Eldrad using only his bolt pistol and his bare hands
- Another random lone Tactical Marine surviving a Demolisher Cannon hit, then destroying the offending tank with a krak grenade
- Devastator Squad with lascannons taking out a Terminator Assault Squad in close combat. It was me that charged!

Yeah, I've played LOTS of games.

Coolest (if not luckiest) moment ever was killing the Swarmlord with a Demolition Charge.

waaaay OT, but I had a named-character only battle SM vs. DE the other day...and actually won!

I had a squad with Tigurius, Cassius, Calgar, Lysander and Shrike, Vs. Asdrubael Vect, Lelith Hexperax and I don't remember the other names.

Mine is a Squad of 6 Fire Warriors with a Shas'Ui winning combat against a combat squad of Assault Marines with a Powerfist.

After 3 rounds locked in combat, the Shas'Ui and a single surviving Shas'La put down the sergeant.

I'm playing Farsight Enclaves when the new Tau codex comes out.

Mine would have to be from ye olden days of 2nd ed 40k. For those who are unaware in 2nd ed you had the chance to flip vehicles and cause them to careen out of control and ramming other vehicles when you destroy them. I had a lowly Guardsman with a missile launcher take out a majority of my opponents Ravenwing force with a single shot. He shot a biker, causing it to crash into two other bikes. The chain reaction that this caused wiped out 2/3rds of my opponents army. It was glorious indeed.

4th ed.

Wraithlord assaults my wraithwing and goes B2B with my destroyer lord and nothing else.

Wraithlord whiffs everything.
Destroyer Lord lands 3 hits, rolls tripple 6's to wound with his warscythe for the last 3 wounds on the WL.

Friend's jaw hit the floor.

I witnessed some Gretchin take on a Terminator Squad....

My first time using an Ork SAG, my mates grey knight paladins had just come out the front of a stormraven, I roll double 6's for its str instantly removing Draigo, 6 paladins and blowing the storm raven up in a single shot.

He reminds me what a fluke it was every time we play.

Another good one from me is a ten man guard squad with commissar royally thrashing a 5 man blood angels termie squad...they I charged...attacked...then moved on to the next unit...the termies never knew what him 'em XD

Keeping all of opponents vehicles stunned and shaken the ENTIRE GAME.

Essentially my opponent had a mechanized army list, he didn't go very far...

I had 10 kroot (9+shaper) in a forest, enjoying their 3+ cover save. My opponent pulled out a thunderfire cannon, and proceded to get 19 hits, wounding on a 2+ with no armor or cover save.

He rolled 11 1's.

My three (put one on the shaper) survivors passed thier test, then managed to chew through most of an assault squad.

Routing 30 hormagaunts that charged me with my tau battlesuit command unit of 3 suits and 2 drones, taking no wounds and killing all 30 in sweeping advance.

Old Canoness against Abaddon. He was down to two wounds from a previous combat. Canoness fires a plasma pistol and manages to deal a wound to him, but it then appeared to seem it would be in combat range and thus kill the Canoness easily. He charges and is 2" out (was on the ground floor of ruins, Canoness on the second). Canoness fires, hits then it saves. Abaddon fails to climb up again. Canoness climbs up a floor then fires again, Abaddon saves. He manages to get to the second floor, but not to the third and in combat again. Canoness takes the final shot and takes him down.

The other tie being the time an Ork trukk raced towards a sister superior on foot with a CC and Bolt Pistol in a 4 way free for all kill team. She fires the pistol imbobilising the Trukk. Orks climb out and now have to run through bolter fire the rest of the way in the open.

12 fire warriors charging a mob of Orks 20 strong.... 2 turns of combat, 10 FW walk away

I hated the time I charged a swarmlord and a warrior(the other 3 got shot to death) into a squad of guardsmen that apparently had yarrick(oops wasn't paying close enough attention) and I killed Kim 4 times in a row just to have him stand back up! I was so mad lol he should have just died!

When my avatar got charged by 30 ork boys. He survived over 100 ork boy attacks. I must have passed like 1 saves or something ridonkulous.

Also one of my wolf scouts with a power weapon defeated a squad of 10 hormagaunts with a tyranid prime and then sweeping advanced them. They failed to kill me, and i killed 1. I win. Best 30 points in my life.

Kharn the Betrayer assaults 5 Salamander Terminators plus Vulkan along with 8 berserker friends.

He rolls 5 1's to hit and kills 4 buddies, first thing in the combat.

At least the enemy failed to save the two remaining attacks with storm shields, and the next turn went mostly my way. He ended up being the single survivor or that cc. And then got vaped by a meltagun.

I had one like this!
Marbo poppped up behind my hammerhead, threw his det charge, and it scattered off the tank and back onto his head. Followed by a 10 strong psyker battle squad firing thier blast at the hammerhead, and scattering back onto Marbo. Followed by a plasmacutioner firing at the hammerhead. Two hit, the other three scattered back onto Marbo.
Oddly enough, even though most of this guy's army fired at him, Marbo managed to survive, and then got gunned down by the burst cannons on said happy hammerhead.

Isn't Marbo a great character?
