Mine has to be a unit of Thousand Sons with the obligatory Sorcerer. They get charged by a full unit of DW Termies with Belial, an unscathed Dread and a unit of Assault Marines with a Chaplain. Due to alot of Invuns they survive and over the course of several turns the Sorcerer manages to take the soul of Belial, the Chaplain, wrecks the Dread with meltabombs and removes most of the termies. In the end that combat was won and they held the objective for the rest of the game.

A CSM summoned greater daemon with 1 wound remaining got charged by a 10 man Howling Banshee squad. His T6 prevented most wounds, and his 4++ saved the rest. He killed a couple, they failed morale, and then he ran them down.

Took woke flash gits who proceeded to hit nothing in shooting. Turn get charged by some wraiths turn 3. Stay in combat. Turn for charged by 4 scareb bases. Live stay in cc. Turn five stick it out but lose the pain boy. Turn six die.

Game ends.

Tied up rending wraiths and some scarebs for 8 rounds of combat before giving in which caused me to win.

Ten Guardsmen. Only upgrade they had was a 5 point grenade launcher. Abbadon, who is unscathed up to this point, is right in front of them, getting ready to charge them on his next turn. Instead of running as far away as possible, my ten guardsmen stand fast with their standard issue lasguns and GIANT STEEL BAWLS, and rapid fire him. Krak grenade... misses... Sergent's laspistol.. a hit and a wound! Saved. Now its time for 8 guardsmen to unload.. 16 shots, 10 hits, and 5 wounds later... Failbaddon just got served. By 55 points of guardsmens.
The emperor protects!

Had a game yesterday.

My opponent had 3 PR/MP battlesuits, 2 FB/FL battlesuits, 2 broadsides, and a team of Stealthsuits bearing down on my Assault Terminator Sergenat, Vulkan, and a Techmarine.

Stealthsuits start with a Markerlight shot, increasing EVERYONE'S BS to 4.

The 3 battlesuits open up. 12, high strength shots.

*rolls* All are saved.

Both broadsides miss(!) and the other 2 battlesuits fire.

Flamers miss. Both FB hit.

*rolls* 2 successful Invulnerable saves.

Lastly, the Stealthsuits open up, hitting the squad 12 times and once with a hidden FB.

*rolls* All armor saves are frosty.

My friend now thinks I have loaded dice.

I had two epic moments playing a 1v1v1 last night. It was 1500 pts I was playing space wolves loganwing vs gk and tau.

First epic moment I had a drop pod of five terminators come in to shoot at some stealth suits and in turn farsight with seven bodyguards and a bunch of drones comes down and reduces the squad to one wolf guard terminator with SS and power weapon. The next turn the wolf guard assaults kills two drones and proceeds to make every save. He rolls for leadership fails and three quarters of his army proceeds to run off the table.

The second epic moment was when Logan grimnar got charged by a dread knight and manages to slay him singlehandedly before he even manages to get an attack off!

My scout squad gets charged by an ironclad dreadnought,
Dreadnought kills 4 scouts,
Pass morale check,
Lone scout holds out till my tactical squad arrives,
Tactical squad wrecks the dread,
Lone scout promoted (old sergeant sacked).
Then to make him stand out I gave him space marine shoulder pads, melta bombs and a purity seal.
Then in a another game his unit was completely devastated by combined fire from an ironclad dread and two tactical squads he was a lone wolf again but for the rest of the game my opponent could not hit him (he kept rolling 1s or 2s when he tried to shoot him) and my scout killed 5 space marines with his bolter and exploded the dread (killing 2 more marines) with his melta bombs and then the game ended. He has now got a name it is Veteran scout sergeant spectre.

Space Marine Chapter Master racked up an impressive kill count one game.

8 Marines (Orbital Bombardment)
A Three Man Scout Biker team
A Dreadnaught (Plasma Pistol shot)
3 Terminators
A Chaplain
A Captain.

He had a single wound at the end of the game, but...

Triarch stalker with no more quatum shielding and gun assaulted a defiler fully loaded with dreadnought cc weapons, did this just for giggles.

Weeeeeellllll the stalker not only tied it up for 3 rounds, but ended up WINNING!

Tell your friend to re-read the Markerlight entry. Sadly, that's not how it works.

Back in 4th ed at a tournament;

I had 6 guardsmen charged by a squad of harlies with all the bells and wistles. Only 2 got into range to actually strike blows, but it should still have been enough to deal with my lowly troops.
The clowns fail miserably to even hit, my guardsmen lash out and kill 1 clown.
Clowns fail their moral check, break and run...
...Guardsmen catch them and wipe them out!

6 survivors are promoted to veterans!

Whoopsie, my bad. I meant to say everyone shooting at the same squad that has been hit with a markerlight.

Well an assault marines shoots his plasma pistol at a wave serpant wrecks it
then charges some dire avengers the next turn kills one passes armour saves.
Next turn kills dire avenger.
Next turn gaurdians and farseer charge in marine kills farseer gaurdians run away.
Then necron overlord goes in an finally takes out the marine hes now my captain!

I'm not quite sure how to promote an Ork Trukk but it shall be so.

I tank shock my friends Daemon Prince just for the fun of it. The DP then fails to penetrate and is killed under the Trukks reinforced ram, which we both find rather funny as it is not really a particularly dignified way to kill a Daemon Prince. So I decide to let his other DP have a go at avenging his fellow DP, I tank shock it with the same Trukk, he pens this time so I think that he's going to kill it, but then he rolls a 2 for armour penetration, bumped up to 3 with open topped, ripping the big shoota off but failing to stop it.

And so my Trukk unceremoniously killed 2 Daemon Princes via tank shock in sequential game turn movement phases.

Kroot survives 3 turns in cc with Terminators and manages to take 2(or was it 3?) with him.

Fire warrior gets charged by kabalite warriors with power sword sybrite long enough for a kroot horde to arrive and he kills 2 himself 2 and it was a 250points game so that one squad was obliterated and only a raider was left. and i owned that one with massed fire

Capture and Control mission - Dark Angels versus Eldar

My Landraider with 5 man terminator squad and a chaplain was advancing towards his held objective. There are 2 Guardian squads with floating weapons (brightlances?) and a Dire Avenger squad between them.

Turn 3 - Brightlance blows up Landraider. Dire Avengers bladestorm - my saves are not good. Two terminators are left standing, and charge the Dire Avengers. I lose a terminator, but knock out half the Dire Avengers. They fail morale and start running. The terminator consolidates towards the objective.

Turn 4 - Everybody left on the Eldar shoots at my TH/SS terminator. I make 16 saves - including 2 invulns with the storm shield. My terminator assaults the first unit of guardians and wins the combat. They fail their morale, and start running. The terminator consolidates towards the objective.

Turn 5 - Two eldar units run off the board ahead of me. The remaining guardians shoot at the terminator. He makes 10 or so saves and then charges into the guardians. He wins the assault, but they make their morale.

Everybody piles in. I'm within 3 inches of the objective - roll a 1 to end the game. I converted the terminator into Belial....nice promo for him.

Gun drone put the last wound needed on a Daemon Prince to kill him and save the unit from bailing because they already lost 4 FWs to his attacks and wiffed all of theirs back.

I once had a single Anni barge killing a five man dev squad.
It was hilarious.

Hand it to a Big Mek so he can kustomize it into a Battlewagon

Or give it a new coat of red paint to help it go faster.

I had a squad of Guardsman stand fast against a Death Company Assault Squad, get charged by them, and then the Guardsmen proceed to win the combat and nearly kill all of the Marines.

With my Ultramarines, back with the oldcrons, I had only my Cyclone termie and chaplain left, fired a Cyclone Missile Launcher right into the monolith. hit, glance, and, under the 4th Ed rules, managed to blow the sucka up. Since he was an Old Terminator, he doesn't get used anymore, but he gets a special place of honor on my shelf.

And, a recent game, I had a space marine sergeant and a buddy run down 27 odd Kroot in the turn that poor combat squad got charged. He is getting repainted something nice at the moment!

I have several

The Rhino Crewman who shot papa smurf (In termie armour and 2W remaining) with the Storm Bolter and killed him

the termie who had the rest of his squad killed by Njal charged said space puppy and killed him in one round of combat

The lone sergeant who saw off 3/4 DW TH/SS eventually dying on turn 7

If Iron Priests could be promoted, my ancient 2nd Ed Iron Priest would have become Great Wolf by now. The amount of time he killed things like war walkers, the avatar of khaine or ork waaaghbosses with his bolt pistol is beyond count. Not to mention I use the same weapon to shoot anything with an AV of 10 and he regularly destroys vehicles with it. He has his own saga.

For a single markerlight hit on the squad, only a single tau unit can increase its BS by 1. Also, as you described it, it seems the stealth suits first fired the markerlight, then all the other units fired their weapons, then the stealth suits fired their cannons. That is wrong, too, they - like any other unit - can only fire once per turn. If they have a networked markerlight, they can use any markerlight hits for their own fire, if they only have a normal markerlight, the hits can only be used by units shooting after them.

Had my Devilfish Gundrones remove Baron Sucksoneggs (or whatever he's called) Shadow Field with 1 Carbine hit , then take the charge , and beat him up like a red headed stepchild . I love the look on my opponent's face when my death frisbee's do gak like that .

Have no idea how to promote a Gundrone . Am thinking something in the line of "Hat" .

One of my Eldar war walkers shot 5 seekers of slaneesh in one turn.

Since this day i love scatter lasers.

A baneblade killed all but one of my five terminators as well as my techmarine in a single turn but the term who survived had a chainfist and he went on to destroy the baneblade on his own.

Immobilised, weapon-less LRC surviving 3 rounds of combat with 2 CSM terminators with chain fists and a Berzerker with power fist.





On an objective.

Got some spare Burst Cannons? Could turn him into a scratch build Heavy Gun Drone.

Kroot shaper. Managed to pull a few deeds of valor for several games. Earned the name "Pappy".

'Course, that was in 4e.
