My Emperor's Champion. To date he has killed:

Skulltaker
Kharn the Betrayer
Wraithlord
Doomhammer Super-Heavy
55 Guardsmen
Primaris Psyker
Leman Russ Battle Tank
Tyranid Prime

And I'm sure I'm forgetting something else he killed...

My sternguard squad, notably the sgt with a pfst and combi-melta. In total the squad has killed 3 Land raiders of various kinds, 6 LRBT's, 2 Dreads, a baneblade superheavy (thank you +2 on the table) 3 LoC, a bloodthirster, and various infantry units and transports (including a green tide/IG blob) with both shooting and assaulting in the year ive had them. Kitted out 5 CM 3 CF and 2 HF.

So many its hard to choose!

Played a game today: junior officer shoots flying demon prince with 1 wound with las pistol. 6 to hit 6 to wound... 1 shot 1 kill!

Id say over all though it has to be my armored fist squad that's been with me since 3rd ed. It was my first squad i painted all by myself and because they were AF i wanted to make them different to the other squads I had, I painted there helmets and shoulders blue.
The "blue hat squad" is now famous at my FLGS. First game i used them, charged by 3 wraiths, lose one guy, kill to wraiths then run them down.
Another game they killed a space marine termie captain in close combat.
Killed a 15 ork slugga boys in close combat with only 7 of them left, lost no one, held the objective and won! list goes on and on!

My Necron OL.

He soaks so much fire w/ a 3++ and if MMS go off in melee they are so deadly. Even if they do kill him he comes back 50% of the time. More if I have a Chronoton in the squad.

One of my annihilation barges took out 9 Rubric Marines out of 10 in a single volley. Ahriman (who was attached to the squad prior to it disappearing around him) then tried to headbutt an Eldritch Lance.

My Annihilation Barges and one particular Lancetek seem to be the ones who overachieve, but it seems only to make up for my woeful Immortals, who have never actually hit anything with overwatch, and their shots seem to get shrugged off with relative ease. To put this into perspective, both my squads of 7 Necrons Warriors have outperformed my squad of 10 Immortals, and that's not combined outperformance, they have both outperformed my Immortals, and that's ignoring the 2 Crypteks attached to either warrior squad.

I would have to say for me a 20 Slugga boyz with PK Nob.

during one tag tournement alone the Nob was responsible for killing in order:
A Dakka Predator(1)
7 Space marines, 3 were Chaos(1)
SM Captain(1)
2 Leman Russes(2)
CCS(2)
Chimera(2)
3 bloddletters(2)
1 Tzeentch Cahriot things(2)
1 SW Rifle Dread
2 GK Rifle Dreads
3 GK SS marines.
He only died once at he last game.

The boyz were just bullet bags but did manage to kill some IG and a couple marines.

For some reason I am with you. My Immortals always preform worse than the warriors and for shooting armor warriors are way better and cheaper. Esp if you put them in a ghost ark they preform just as well as Immortals.

Id have to give props to vulkan too. he singlehandedly took out a 12-man pack of raptors(rest of the squad died while he was in the challenge) held his own against a termie squad with abby (challenged the sgt, killed him then went 3 rounds with abby) he aided 2 squads to sweep a PK nob squad and took on a tervagon all in the span of 3 games of a campaign. Not to mention all the TLing help hes given to my army. Granted more times than not he gets squished by PK/TH/LC/S8+ before he so much as fires off his flamer, but his purpose was to just be there. after than anything else was a bonus

Mine aren't even in a Ghost Ark.

I usually expect my SoB to die gloriously for the Emperor, but sometimes they do surprise me.

Outflanking Dominion Squads seldom survive their alpha strike, getting killed by everything nearby in retaliation (understandable when you've blown up two Hammerheads or the equivalent). But not always - I've had a squad of those survive in cover of their Immolator only to be charged by a pack of Fenrisian Wolves and a group of Thunderwolf Cavalry. Funny enough, by a combination of overwatch losses and cramped space for enemies to get engaged the Dominions destroyed the wolves and routed the TWC, sweeping the latter.

And ofc, back in the WH days my Inquisitor Lord had a Sage in his retinue. An Eldar Avatar was bearing down on them, and taking heavy fire. The Avatar was down to one wound when only the Lord and retinue were left. Of all the fancy weapons there it was the Sage who killed it, with a basic Laspistol.

Two drones that popped off of a Devilfish in a 5e game of 40k. Nobody ever shot at them, since there were plenty of other targets, so they were pretty much free to wander around the board. At one point, they jumped behind a Chaos Rhino full of Khorne Berzerkers, shot their carbines, and blew it up. The squad inside proceeded to fail their armor saves and leadership rolls spectacularly, and the drones walked them off the board. I was stunned.

For my wife

One Warlock, who survived the obliteration of the guardian squad he was minding by my Tau (ages back in early 5th i think) and then one-shotting a vehicle a turn with his spear until the end of the game.

She still reminds me of it

I once had an Eldar player spend 3 turns shooting at Celestine (and only Celestine) before she finally went down.

My Lone Wolf with TH/SS. He's opened up Land Raiders, smooshed Hive Tyrants and contested objectives. All for 85pts. 2+/3++ and FNP is so resilient.

4th ed: Basalisk

I one shotted a Chaos Land Raider with the old ordinance rule where you can annihilate it. I got the Land Raider, the Terminators, and the Lord all in one shot.

5th edition: Mephiston

6th edition: had an annihilation barge take out 3 vehicles at once in a game

Considering how Khorne Berzerkers were (and still are) Fearless, that's quite a feat.

^^; all of the insane overperformers I can remember were fantasy (like the lone Night Runner who single-handedly routed an entire Empire battle-line with rear charges and throwing stars).

Prize goes to marbo. Last week saw him drop his pieplate on a farsight bomb, scoring 11 wounds. No cover saves, no invulns (except farsight, which he failed), 11 instant death wounds. Placed it in such a way to score more wounds on his drones but the wounds taken off crisis suits.

A single Imperial Guardsman plasmagunner immobilised a Maulerfiend and a Heldrake, then survived a charge from a Chaos Lord, survived a turn of combat, and then (essentially, he was finished off by his own demon weapon rolling 1s ) killed the Chaos Lord off. I pulled off his head and replaced it with one of those hench ones from the Valkyrie doorgunners.. He hasn't been the same since...

My custom Power rangers army I had Tommy the red ranger (2 wounds, eternal warrior, T3, Sv4+) survive shooting from:

36 fire warriors
3 crisis suits
Devilfish
Stealth team (including a fusion blaster)

As to a real unit, I had my stealth team with markerdrones (back in the old codex) procede to kill a defiler, a DE transport, the Homonculus inside it, the chaos rhino that player 3 brought in full of plague marines, then proceeded to use their marker drones to call down a BS 5 Hammerhead template on top of the plague marines inside it. The best part is that my hammerhead hadn't hit anything the whole game until that point...

Recently been using a squad of Raptors armed with 2 Meltaguns, a Lightning Claw and a Plasma Pistol. Comes to less than 150pts but the damage this unit has done had me stunned.

- First game: Deepstrike, blow up a Battlewagon, killing 6 out of 15 Burnas in the explosion, which are then mopped up by my Vulture. The squad then goes on to claim Linebreaker

- Second Game: Deepstrike. Mishap and get delayed. Arrive again and scatter out of 2D6 Melta range, but still manage to blow up an Annihilation Barge despite it still having Quantum Shielding.

- Third Game: Deepstrike. Critically damage a Leman Russ leaving it with just a Heavy Stubber. The squad is then wiped out except the Champion who goes onto contest an objective through assaulting the unit and surviving until the end of the game.

- Fourth Game: Deepstrike. Destroyed a Vindicator. 3 Remaining guys are charged by a 12-strong squad of Blood Claws. Champion is the last one left, survives for two more rounds until he kills a single Blood Claw, causing the rest of the unit to break, and run straight off the board!*

*Blood Claws or Grey Hunters, don't know the real difference. They had Bolters and CCWs for what it matters.

Back in 5th, when you could turbo-boost during scout move and charge in 1st turn, I ran 5 man scout squad with combi-melta, power fist in land speeder storm. Once in a 1500 points game they have mastered the art of trolling.
A full squad of havocs with lascannons and missile launchers with temporarily attached fully kitted out sorcerer got charged in turn one. Scouts killed two of them and only 3 csm could attack back and did nothing. They failed morale due to LSS launcher.
1/3 enemy's army fleeing from table before shooting once is a great view for every general, however i agree with 6th ed nerf.

During another game (1200p) versus BA my basic librarian with "avenger" and "might of the ancients" rampaged through the entire board killing over 600 points worth of models. This included a LRR, 6 death company marines and enemy librarian.
And recently Marbo destroyed 2 BA razorbacks and a vindicator in one shot. Sadly it wasn't enough to save me the game.

My 10 man Paladin squad, so far they have killed the following. over several battels sinc I started army.

Around 250+ Orks
6 Ork Trucks
2 Deff Dreads
8 Tyrant Guard
2 Hive Tyrannds
4 Lictors
Unknown number of Guardsmen
Likewise number of Chimeras

At a recent game in Chi-town, I had an opponent not only see his Fire Warriors survive a charge from a Tactical Squad, but defeat them, and then go on to do the same to a second squad!

Personally, I have had many great experiences with a single Space Marine surviving enemy fire against all odds, and then rallying to do something insanely heroic. (Blow up a Deff Dread in CC. Defeat a full squad of Necron Warriors to phase the army and win the game. Charge a warlord from behind and crush his skull like a grape.) Once a tactical squad is reduced to one or two members, I often find that their heroism factor goes through the roof.

TOTALLY JIM!!!!

One of my Rhino's stormbolters actually killed something.

I was shocked.

One of my Sergeants also beat a Nurgle Biker Sorcerer in close combat, killing it in one round of combat.

Sergeant Badass has gone on to slaughter other sergeants he fights, only losing when he chooses to heroically sacrifice himself against a Hive Tyrant or other HQ.

I have a converted Thunderfire Cannon that consistently makes double to triple its points back. On average it will obliterate a devastator squad, kill a squad of deathwing terminators, or slow bikes down like molasses. My opponents try their best to kill it but i believe it has only died once so far.

One apotechary and a command squad ceteran with a power sword took out an archon and 5 incubi

Ah, maybe I misremembered it. Either the guy playing them was doing it wrong (and, well, nobody else played Chaos so nobody could correct him) or it was actually a squad of Chaos Space Marines. My bad.

That reminds me of the time my rhino killed a Great Unclean One. It was using Blessed Bolts and had two Storm Bolters, though, and the GUO had just gone four rounds with a 52-wound Commissar.
