In my last Tyranid v DEldar game, the Doom (by himself) took out approximately 1000 pts of a 2000 pt army.

I usually never get a good streak with one unit. Though the first time I debuted Daemons as allies for my Orks, I brought a Bloodthirster with two Greater Rewards. Got Hellfire Gaze and 3+ armor, the latter swapped out for the Blade of Blood. Played against Razorback spam Grey Knights with Purifiers. First turn, Hellfire Gaze roasted a Razorback. Second turn, roasts two Purifiers with shooting attacks but fails five inch charge on remaining two (squad got pounded by Ork big shootas). Two Daemonettes got the eight inch charge and wasted them though. Turn 3, kills two more Purifiers with shooting, successfully charges in on remaining four, and gets a total of 10 attacks that kills the squad before they get to strike.

At that point, my opponent finally concluded "Do NOT Want!" and shot him to death. Ended up losing the game as well, but I fell in love with the Bloodthirster regardless.

In hindsight, I could have gotten a little more millage if I Vector Striked with him which I forgot I could do.

Every time I run 3 Biovores. Last time I played against Tau with their delicious 4+ saves and bunched up units, three Biovores absolutely gutted three squads of FW in the first 3 turns. Pinning is just a bonus, but the morale checks were just hilarious.

3 turns of most of his units rolling for morale, followed by most running or being vaporized by the Doom. Good times.

Most recent.
Single Executioner tank (tri shot plasma cannon of doom with additional plasma sponsons) who's squadron mates died (demolishers) rolls forwards and unleashes all 5 plasma tempaltes on a large blob of chaos marines. every single one hits with the resulting hits in total are more then there were marines. Before I roll Deaths (not damage due to its AP) the guy just picks up the whole blob off the board saying "They are all going to die anyways", lone tank proceeds to do this to a Termi squad and another squad of chaos marines, unleashing untold amounts of damage and killing many times the points the tanks is worth.

infact, It was this one out of my three executioners.



my Tesla tank.

Once was playing with my Eldar against my friends Dark Angels.
He had a 10 man tactical squad behind cover but my fire prism could see one man in the squad. I took a shot with the large blast over that one guy. Rolled scatter and it scattered over the whole squad. Wound all of them but one (3+). No armour save due to AP3.

That day was a good day.

I posted this elsewhere awhile back, but this remains to be the most incredible thing any of my units has done in 40k.

This goes way back to when I played IG. My kid brother had just started his CSM army. It was either our first or second game, I remember most of his stuff were really loyalist models pressed into service as their Chaos counterparts. We had 2000 point armies and the game was the multiple objectives one in 5th edition. As such, I broke up my two 50-man blobs of Guardsmen into ten-man squads and had them running all over the place supporting my tanks and whatnot.

At some point I diverted my Devildogs (I love this bloody tank) and a Chimera command squad along with a nearby group of footsloggers to deal with a Chaos Rhino trying to circumnavigate around the big gorefest in the centre of the board to get an objective with a winged Daemon Prince of Khorne rushing to the scene. So by the time the Daemon gets there the scoring threat of Rhino+troops was already dealt with and the vehicles zooming away, leaving the poor footsloggers, already whittled down by the Rhino's bolter to their fate. And what a fate.

They get to shoot, managing to put one wound on the Daemon. The Daemon then charges them and in the first turn of combat proceeds to kill all but one Pvt. Macias (I named each man and painted their names on their uniforms...it was a chore). Macias fails to do anything that turn but rolls for his morale test. From that point on the Daemon never again gets another wound on this man. Pvt. Macias then proceeds to beat the Daemon Prince to death with his lasgun over the rest of the game. This guy's aquilas were painted gold after that and he was elevated to being a Veteran. Best moment in all of 40k thus far.

This one is fresh: two weeks ago, we had a Kill Team tournament in my gaming club. The 5th edition "200 points, 3 models with USRs" edition of Kill Team, mind you. I brought a Riptide with Ion Accelerator and Counterfire Defense System and gave him the Psyker USR so I could roll onthe Biomancy table. Guess what? Out of the 6 battles, I got Iron Arm in 4 . In the last battle, I rolled on Divination and got Precognition (the re-roll to-hit, to-wound and failed saves power) . If you think that the Riptide is OP, then play against a Riptide with Iron Arm or Precognition. It will be a valuable life lesson!

I had an archons shadow field take 18 wounds from a thunder hammer squad of death wing termies and deflect all of them.

But even more epic has to be the 3 IG heavy weapons teams that outright killed a DP in one round of combat.

Hello good sirs!

What would be your best killstreak or silly event you've had with a unit? For example, has your riptide or dreadknight plowed FAR more than its cost in points? Or what was a rather silly thing you managed to accomplish with a certain unit?

well I recently managed to use a Pathfinder squad to kill two units of Leman Russ battletanks and then killed an HQ, pluys survived the battle. Been doing a lot of damage with those 7 Pathfinders.

Way back in the mists of 5th edition my buddy started himself a Greyknights army as his first army ever. One early game we had, he i made the mistake of letting a 20 man shoota boy squad be assaulted by a 10 man purifier squad (it was ugly). Was a massive kill streak for my friend as he wiped the squad in just 1 round of combat... and a nice kill streak for my boyz when 1 turn later a battlewagon containing 12 burna boyz rolled into template range and showed those dirty purifiers how it was REALLY done.

Biggest shenanigan kill i've had has to be with my shokk attack gun during a battle against a local player's Blood Angel army. Commander Dante and a full squad of sanguinary guard deepstruck out into the open without scattering, using Dante's special rule, in order to try and assault a nob squad and warboss who's battlewagon had been wrecked. During my turn a fire the SAG and target the middle of the squad, roll the dice and it hits the mythical (at least to my dice anyway...) double sixes. I explain to the guy what that means but also tell him i'm a bs 2 and still have to scatter... Bull's eye. Bye bye Dante, bye bye massively expensive sanguinary guard unit. I actually felt kind of bad for the guy afterwards... but not that bad

My Royal Court Disco Inferno tanked a whole Black Templar army (old dex) only losing 2 models?


The other time i ran it, it tanked a whole Grey Knight army, losing almost nothing killing a drednought, 2 strike squads, a full purifier squad, and their stormraven gunship they flew in on.

Anyone accomplished killing terminators with lasguns? I wonder if i could try that tomorrow..

I killed Logan Grimnar with a Laspistol one time.

screw that i had a 4th edition 'fex taken out with a lasgun from a chimera (back then the occupants used the lasguns mounted on the back)

GK Librarian hits Farsight and his full bodyguard with Warp Rift, every single bodyguard (I 2) passes their Initiative check and lives, Farsight fails on a 6 and gets sucked into the warp alone.

There was one time when my opponent moved a Devilfish halfway up the board just in time for my one scout sentinel to outflank... right behind it - lascannon fires, hits, penetrates, explodes, he then spends the next turn pouring fire onto it, giving my remaining forces time to regroup and make a decent stand.

Points wise that pour little Sentinel paid for itself almost three times over and nobody at the store laughs at my Scout Sentinel squadron anymore (there where words when I got two more to make the full unit though)

I rolled 11 "Hits" in a row with my scatter dice when playing my Dual Manticore IG army. When I finally did roll an arrow the d6s were Snake Eyes!!!

Right after te 4th ed. Tau codex arrived I had a Vespid Stingwing Strain Leader go probably 4 or 5 games as the sole survivor of the squad (and on at least one occasion the sole survivor of the army)... the weird thing was that I played it aggressively, the damned thing ate squads and squads of firepower (mostly from marines) and just shrugged it off every time (bad rolls from them, great rolls from me). On its own it took the lives of an SM Chapter Master (in close combat no less), countless marines and guardsmen, a dreadnaught, a whirlwind, and assorted other models... what ultimately ended the streak? First turn of my 4th or 5th game, I got a bit too ambitious and flew the unit perhaps a bit too close to catachan pattern sentinels armed with heavy flamers... roast insect on a stick....

my friends lone marine survived 2turns of 3 dakkajets worth of dakka (81shots) and sat that lone marine on a objective winning him the game.
marines op

Once against Imperial fists, I was playing Relic and got Ghazgkhul, 5 mega nobsz and Mad dok Grostnik to the relic by turboboosting in turn 1.

Long story short by turn 4 they were simply Grostnik and 1 meganob having already wiped out 10 assault marines and Lysander and 5 termies. (Ghaz was killed in the challenge but killed Lysander too)

These 2 orks then proceeded to fall foul of the 1 scalpel short of a medpack rule and were forced to assault squad after squad of marines, in each case surviving overwatch and higher initiative first blows, to continue on till turn 7 game end having without fail killed each squad and moved on. All the while holding the relic.

Had a chuckle. Sounds glorious.

a lone killa kan (3rd ed) destroyed 4 Khorn hounds and a bloodthirster. all in CC.

shortly after the DA codex came out, I played a Shooty ork list VS an all bike DA list. game was technically over on top of 1, after i shot (yes ORK SHOOTING) and killed almost half my opponents army, including the guy carrying the Banner that gives them Salvo.

People say Kharn is useless.....
I was using a fluffy World Eaters list and was playing a friendly but mildly strong tyranid list with IG allies.
Kharne was with a full group of Berzerkers and had broken away from them (not a good idea), to go attack 2 tervigons to the side (both were done spawning, one with 3 wounds, one with 4) I didn't expect him to kill one but over 2 turns he killed both, losing 2 wounds, met back up with the berserkers, Blew up an Executioner by himself, and died in the resulting 4 inch explosion. It was awesome .

This weekend I fielded Flash Gitz (WHAT??) and they killed a Carnifex on turn one. I guess he was supposed to be scary but I didn't feel very scared. They also blew up some tyranid warrior guys he dropped next to them and blew apart 20 genestealers coming for them. All while protecting their objective (Big guns never tire)

Second game I had nobs with warboss and painboy get out of a wrecked truck on turn 2 and take out 3 obliterators and some sorcerer hQ. Took tons of shots from 6 obliterators in turn 3. Proceeded to charge 3 of the oblits and take them out. Next were cultists and then they got to sit on the objective for the turn 5 win.

Ok, here's the best killstreak I've been witness to in a game, although I was on the receiving end unfortunately.
The game was 3000 points per side, 1000 for each of the 3 players per side. We were playing until the opposing team was wiped out, none of this objectives nonsense.
Well it was late in the game, and my orks along with our allies had managed to wipe the opposing team off the table except for 1 wraithlord on two wounds.
Obviously we need to kill it before it made a mess of anything, so I proceed to fire my lootas and Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun at it. For some reason unbeknownst to me, I decide to fire THE SHOKK ATTACK GUN FIRST, instead of the lootas. Of course, I proceed to roll double-1's, destroying the Big Mek, his Loota squad, and about 10 nearby friendly necrons.
Then I decide I need to assault the wraithlord with everything I can in one turn, or else it'll pick my units off one by one. I get my one remaining killa kan just within 18 inches, My big mek with burna and KFF a few more inches out, and my Deff dread w. extra close combat weapon (on 2 hull points) about 6 inches further away. I pass the turn.
He moves 6 inches forward, rolls a double-6 for charge range, and destroys my killa kan.
Next turn, I want to stop him from getting to my Deff dred, so I assault him with my Big Mek. He just kills it in one turn, and consolidates to within charge range of my deff dred, who he then charges in the next turn, and kills as well. I still have an immobilised deffdred with 2 Big shootas further away though, so I just keep firing at him as he closes range, doing nothing before getting smashed in half with his wraithsword.
The only thing that we have left on the board now is a unit of 10 necron warriors who can do absolutely nothing to harm the wraithlord. He chases them around and kills them at his leisure.
It was not a happy day.

This just in - I was playing against my mate who was chaos, and i, greentide with lots of kans, one of his chaos champions challenged my kans (kinda think of it, i don't think we can do that, but i don't have the 6th edition rulebook ) and the kan promptly responded, successfully hitting him in melee, and killing the champion, I said it as if the kan did not give two zogs and just stomped the lil' tin humie!

Not really a killstreak but more of a shenanigan because i found it hilarious for some reason....

My real winner had to be at the end of 5th edition, my Tyranids vs Grey Knights. Doom of Malen'tai drops in the middle of the enemy army. Terminator squad rolls 6,6,6 for it's leadership test. 8 of them die, including all the special equipment, leaving 2 force halberd grunts. He then blew up another with shooting. The Strike squad, meanwhile, rolls 5,5,6. Kzzxplxl!

We did the math later and realized that, in that one round, I took out a quarter of his army. With one model.

Group of terminators
Power fist lost four to a mob of boyz in assault
Lets just say the dice gods were not on my side
Rolled 4 ones out of 5 only needed 2+

That sounds pretty normal, the Doom's a total nightmare against a lot of builds.

I had a vet squad in a chimera snipe a hive tyrant with a lasgun. That was cool.

I also had two melta guns blow up a storm raven. At 12" While being pinned from the explosion of their chimera that killed the other 8 squad members.

Just yesterday, got 11 on the Warp Storm table and turned his Sorceror into my new Herald of Tzeench. Good times

10 man Sternguard squad took out a full squad of grey knights in one shooting round

On Turn 1 in a 500pt game, I used Scout Sgt Telion to guide a krak missile through the window of a ruin, hitting a Tau Battlesuit Commander. The Commander did not have the 2+ Iridium Armour, so the krak missile wounded and was an Instant Kill with no possibility of a save.

IIRC I still lost the game because the Tau player had a large squad of Fire Warriors dug in on the upper floors of the same ruin, and all my squads were footslogging. But it was hilarious, killing his HQ and most expensive model on the very first turn before he'd even moved it.
