Bikernob fail.

Failing a dangerous terrain test when the painboy is around isnt that big of a deal cuz you then have a 4+ armor and FNP to try and ignore the wound (my last game i actually failed 15 dangerous terrains with the bikers but FNP'd 9 of the 13 that went by the armor)

However a couple weeks ago i was running 6 nobbikers + warboss on bike and got focus fired by snipers. He rolled a ton of precision shots and they all went on the boss (why the boss and not the painboy i have no idea) and i wiffed the 2+ look out sirs on 5 of 6 precisions, and only saved 3 of the precisions.
Seeing as how i wanted to prevent him from nabbing a free Warlord kill, and he was scoring that game thx to warlord traits, i made him turn around and book it across the table to camp a backfield objective. Failed the movement dangerous terrain test, but saved it...turbo boosted...failed again and he died.

....f...m...l... lol (which gave him free warlord btw)

My personal secret lair

Well my personal favorite happened with DE. I still use my wych list in 6th because I like it. I run 5 wych squads in twin splinter cannon venoms. Well I disembark a squad to prepare for assault and the venom fires those 12 shots to soften up the target squad. I take the 12 dice, roll aaand... ten 1's... and the two shots that hit rolled 1's to wound. 3 wyches obliterated in overwatch. We got a good laugh out of my rolls though.

I shall rule the world someday utilizing my cuteness. And I already have one minion to help me do it!

Less 1's and more 2's for me. Mostly why I don't enjoy playing my Space Marines any more since almost every game I'd roll a stupid amount of 2's when I really didn't need them. Mostly for armour saves or trying to murder something of choice. My commander is still the worst example of this - 2+/3++ and he always gets murdered by small-arms fire.

When my opponent, before they show up at the FLGS smears themselves in peanut butter and then makes blood sacrifices to Ashterai by slitting the throat of three male chickens and then smears the spatter pattern into the peanut butter to engrave sacred symbols into their chest and upper arms.
I have a peanut allergy. It's really inconsiderate.

Los Gatos, CA

A squad of Terminators are about to get into my Guard line. I move my Demolisher Tank and take a risky shot of potentially scattering into my guys but am reward with a direct hit. Feeling good I roll to wound and of course 4 out of 5 are ones and he passes his 5 up invul just for good measure.

Rolling 1s aren't always that bad~

I had a blob of 20 Khorne Dogs with 2 Heralds in it.
Lost almost everything in CC since it was up against like a Furiso Dreadnought, Mephiston, Termie Squad, assault squad.

Rolled double ones for Daemonic Instability!
Blink of reality!!

So yeah~

Worst one that I've remembered is that I wanted 1 of my 2 fliers to come in from reserves.
Rolled double ones...
Warlord trait reroll those.

a friend of mine has rage quit several times after his squad of termies dies to Slugga fire.

in a different game, he almost rage quit after rolling 3 ones on the penetration table (5th ed so no Hull points) that was until i told him it still wrecked my Trukk. the weapon was ap2, trukks are open topped. a 1 becomes a 3, the next becomes a 4, (only one weapon) and the final 1 bacame a 5. the ramshackle roll sweetened the deal for him, as i Kareened into my own mob and got a 6 inch explosion.

Zeeland, the Netherlands

Guardsmen fire at Terminators, only one wound from a lasgun. Rolling a 1 is inevitable.

Are you Dutch? Do you live in Zeeland, and want to join a cool, friendly club to play your games? Give me a PM!
