Once upon a time, back in the old days, an assault cannon would jam if you rolled 3 ones to hit (only 3 shots back then).

Some guy was about to shoot me with two assault cannon, but was going to roll them all together, but before he rolled I called him on it, saying he should roll them separately so you know if one jams.

So he rolls. 3 1's, it jams.

Happy days.

During 3rd Edition, I had a friend that maneuvered into a bad position to get a shot off with a TL Assault Cannon. The shots would've finished off something really easy and wrap up the game. So naturally he rolls 3 ...twice. Gun jams and my friend ends up losing because of it.

Beginning of 7th I believe, maybe end of 6th. Opening shot of the game. Defiler shoots at Sanguinary Guard accompanying Dante. Opponent has placed Dante in front. Fails 2+ LOS, fails 2+ save. No EW. 2VP for me.

A looooong time ago I had a gang member in Necromunda who was shot off a ledge by a shotgun. The fall was what killed him.

One of the crazy ones from my area was a GK playing taking like 40 wounds on terminators and instead of rolling a few at a time grabbed the 40 and rolled all at the same time. not a single 1.

My own Termies, as if on a single-minded crusade to prove the Internet wrong, will roll a frankly stupid amount of saves at times. Last time they were out, 2 squads of Dearthwing took about 2000 points of Tau shooting away from the rest of my army over a couple of turns. Admittedly, they didn't kill much that day, but in drawing fire alone they won me the game (keeping the enemy from dumping that fire into my TWC that then cleared and captured the last objective.)

I had grav-chuted a SWS with 2 democharges, and a meltagun right in front of a SM captain(last surviving guy of his Command Squad). Unable to demo him due to ally proximity, I shot my meltagun at him, and missed.

Next turn, the captain walks up to the squad, chucks a frag grenade, and hits all 6. He rolls six 5/6's, and I only make 1 armor save. The meltagunner survives! He goes to charge that last guy, and I roll for overwatch, 6! I roll too wound, 6 again! The Captain rolls a 1 for his invuln save, I kill him!

Then...I remember that I forgot to make a morale check, and roll 11. That last guy runs off the board, and that awesome kill never happened.

My Dark Angels vs a friends Grey Knights (my first time against them!)

Having watched a GK terminator squad drop in behind me and wreck my rhino the 10 man tac squad open up with dakka banner support. Terminators are wiped off the board and the libby with them is down to 1 wound! result.

However, next turn the libby moves up and hits them with Psychic Shriek. His roll? 6,6,6

Demonic indeed and we all cheered (myself included) as the libby brought down serious vengeance and wiped the squad completely!

Was close in the end (I lost) but was worth it as the story was amazing.

1 nob (rest of the squad died) charged a wraith knight and killed it... Granted the Nob had a pk but still pretty amazing

My three War Walkers (Scatter Laser, Bright Lance, Holofields) have an insane record of instakilling numerous enemy vehicles and models. Highlights include negating a poorly placed Brother Corbulo's FNP, multiple Leman Russ tanks, a Battlewagon full of Meganobs, and reducing an Imperial Knight to on e Hull Point in a single round of shooting.
