Last game a new Sammael, with his 3+ rerollable jink, got killed by Predator with bolters.
2 Autogun shots and 6 heavy bolters managed to hit, wound and fail the rerollable jink save, killing him on turn one.

I was NOT happy.

It was 4th or 5th edition. I had an SM librarian HQ with termie armor and the storm shield, with the powers gate of infinity and vortex of doom. My buddy was playing Tau and was abusing the Fish of Fury tactic from way back when. My Librarian gated in behind the Devilfish and dropped a Vortex template - it scattered so the small blast perfectly hit the rear armor of both vehicles. Penetrating hit. Explodes both of them!

Then on the following turn, my buddy's Hammerhead tank shocks the librarian, I roll a death or glory test with a meltabomb, fail, and get him squished.

With my Orks, my Weirdboy is weird by most standards. The basic idea is one day he got sucked into the Warp (Ork headaches are the worst) and met this silver marine boy who kept going on some spiritual leige, before going of to krump some Daemons. Not to be outdone, the Weird boy followed him, and fought as many as he could, but the silver marine was doing all kinds of things that was destroying the Daemons. The Weirdboy reckoned he could do better, and so the Orko Malleus was born!

So essentially he takes Santic Daemonology in every game, despite it's ineffectiveness. Usually he ends up dying anyways, either by the enemy or blowing up his own brain and being hurtled back to the Warp. But occasionally...

Orks vs Ad Mech (the WD formation to boot).
Orko Malleus was on 1 wound, having done nothing all game.
4th turn. Seperate him from his badly mauled unit of Boyz.
Successfully cast Gate of Infinty.
Lands perfectly next to an IK and the Dominus that is fixing him.
Proceed to cast Vortex of Doom. It goes off, but a double is rolled.
A Perils. Rolled a 2. 1 wound, 1 dead Weirdboy.
But, as he gets sucked into the Warp, he grabs a chunk of Immaterium, and lobs it at the Knight.
Direct hit.
A 6 on the D chart.
The Knight is ripped apart, and topples.
The explosion stays on the spot, rolling a 6, and catching the Dominus in the Str 10 AP 3 portion.
2+ save.
He rolls a 1.
Instant Death, and Slay the Warlord.
Weirdboy smiles to himself as the rift closes behind him.
"Datz how itz done."

An eldar player targeted a land raider next to an invisible stompa.
The template scattered onto the stompa, he rolled a 6 on the D table and a 6 again, he 1 shotted a FRIENDLY stompa and the resulting explosion killed him as well
Oh and then 7 shadowswords appared on the table

Helbrecht with 1 wound remaining locked in combat with 8 or 9 DW terminators. Terminators inflict 14 wounds, Helbrecht's Iron Halo saves them all. The next round, the 2 remaining tactical marines from a squad that Helbrecht's (now completely dead) squad was killing punch him. 2 attacks, 2 hits, 2 wounds and 2 failed saves. The green guys showed the big boys how it's done!

The High Marshal's 2 previous wounds were from tanking wounds from shooting so the only ones who could do some damage to him in melee were the tacticals. That was the most useless bunch of terminators ever.

Was playing against a friend who was new to the hobby (second game ever), playing dark vengeance. His terminators shot into my Auto-gun Cultists, not a single one died. Cultists shoot into Terminators, kill two.

Amazing moment from the other day.

Orkz vs Khorne DK

Mob of boyz clashes against a bezerker squad with the Khorne lord.

Lord challenges me, I send in a nob with pk. Lord Swings first with a big axe, only manages one wound. PK comes back and does 2 wounds through. I am amazed the nob still stands.

Boyz mob the bezerkers and then kill the lord shortly.

Turn one of a 7k game, my opponent had a knight supported by multiple devastator squads, a land raider with termies, a techmarine lord guy with entourage, and something else.

I was playing 30k Night Lords and podded a 5 man melta squad right next to it, enough to get left side arc. He did the obvious thing and put the shield facing them. Despite the shield they still inflicted all but one hull point to it. Sicaran did a Hail Mary from out in left field at the bare limit of its range into its right arc and managed to take the single remaining hull point. Explosion was nasty and managed to kill every single unit in the area and thanks to bad rolling, 3 out of the 5 terminators in the exploded raider. Center of the board was now clear along with almost all of his long range fire power. Unfortunately the drop pod and my melta guys didn't make it either. They made their points back though. After gutting his heavy firepower the rest of the game was a breeze and I lost a single Terror squad, a missile launcher squad, and my command squad who went with Curze and took on all of the then DA special characters and a deathwing squad at once. He even had a Nephilim fighter crash on his head and he shrugged it off. We finished the game in right around three hours. My shooting was nasty since he had lost the ability to shoot back.

Having half my Seraphim unit die in the first turn from a dangerous terrain test.

Or Celestine surviving a round of combat against a GUO with Iron Arm to secure the victory.

Thats GW for you.
I bet he asked for you to buy your own scenery next.

Got 2:

1: Tau vs IG, back when Tau 6th codex was released. First game, was able to wound his warlord (the overlord Commissar or something like that) to 1 HP with shooting. He promptly charged an advanced unit of Fire Warriors, challeging the poor Shas'ui. Not wanting to lose the possible Ld 8 for morale, I accept. The Commissar is equipped with a Power Fist, so my Shas'ui goes first.
Manages to hit.
Manages to wound.
Commissar botches his save roll.
From that day on, the little Shas'ui was known as Tau McLane.

2: Chaos Daemons vs BT, back when CD 6th codex was released. Second game or so, his BT outplay my Daemons, so in the end I have only an advanced unit of Daemonettes getting me Linebreaker, while his Helbrecht group is attacking my last unit of 2 Pink Horrors, holding an objective. If he manages to kill them, I'd lose 1-2; if I managed to hold them off, I'd get a 1-1 draw. And it's their 5th turn... they charge. In the end, managed to do 3 wounds (yeah, terrible). All I had were 5++ saves. So I roll, asking for Tzeentch's blessing before it.
6.
6.
6.

Game ends right after it, 1-1. Chaos is fickle!

I put them between 2 units of mine, thinking I'll get to blow them away next turn. He fired his Basilisk indirectly and it scatters on his own guys, BOOM, killing all but one....

He fires a second bassy, and it scatters again, right on top of the survivor.

Silly guardsman!

Now that's precog!

Funniest moment for me of late was in a special scenario game where one side was all the walkers and daemon engines from my combined chaos forces and on the other side was a force of Black Templars marines supported by a Deathwing Terminator force. The Templars had a pair of dreads and one of them just wouldn't die. It had both of its weapon arms destroyed and somehow avoided losing its last HP for the rest of the game. As it continued to survive, weaponless, it was just running around and kicking the lowered powered enemies near it over and over. Funniest thing ever watching this armless dread running all over the place kicking things.

I played a game like 10 years ago of about 300 orcs vs my 50 Termy and 4 Land Raiders (and 2 dreads) deathwing. We went 12 turns and at the end was one lone powerfist stormbolter termy alive. Nothing else survived. I added a dead orc to that models base as reward.

I had a tournament game where Azrael tanked 22 wounds in a row without taking a single one (against Ork Stormboyz). Indeed, every game I've played with him he is incredibly hard to take down.

Recent match I had using 6th ed rule set. CSM vs DA

6 Las gun shoots at DW terminators, 1 hit, 1 wound 1 failed Armour save and 1 dead space marine terminator sergeant.

Also somehow all plasma guns in that match rolled 5.

Had a generic Space Marine captain that I dubbed Captain Awesome because he never once was hit or harmed in close combat, ever. He also wasn't really over kitted for close combat as he had a storm bolter and a single lightning claw. Toe to toe with repentia units, scorpions, banshees, assault marines, ogryns, daemons of all sorts and even survive a melee with harlequins completely unscathed. Everyone kept trying to be the one that took him down in melee and ignored the fact that I usually failed my saves for him when he was shot, so he would even die to lasguns pretty easily. Hahahahaha. Just a funny scene to have 5 ogryns fail to harm him at all in melee and all end up dead and then after the fight have a nearby IG squad shoot him with nothing but lasguns and have him fail every save and die.

Watching the disbelief in my mates face as his chaos lord turned into a demon prince. Only to somehow lose 2 wounds in combat against a battered tac squad. His sorcerer also deep struck about less than 2 inches outside the map and spent the rest of the game haplessly watching a glorious impwrial victory.
