I had some.
3 Players free for all relicmission: Vostrovian Firstborn, Eldar and my Mechanicum(Fandex). Nobody won the relic, because everytime some squad came near to that thing, somebody threw a bunch of pieplates there.

That moment, when my flying cc-Hivetyrant ate that Farseer(Warlord).

Some Months ago, an Avatar tried to charge my Archmagos Reductor and got shot in the face by him with a mastercrafted photonthruster. It was his last HP.

30k: A Raven Guard Praetor attacked my Archmagos Malagra. My guy did pretty dark things with him there.....and sliced him to rippons.

And that game, when the only survivor of the Necronarmy was the Overlord in turn 3(6th edition).....

My Cult Mechanicus was facing down a Tau army fresh of the update and a Stormsurge still with the new mech smell still oonand it D str missiles. So I'm running the Cohort cybernetic and my Dominus is with his datasmith buddies are standing behind 4 Kastelan robot who are just soaking up fire.

Cue the stormsurge pouring all for D str boosted missiles into my poor bots. One of the missiles whiff but the other hit dead on,The Omnissiah was watching over me that day because I proceed to make one 5++ save and then comes the best part, I roll my other two invul saves and by the fabricatior generals shiney metal butt plate I get two 6s.

I just laughed as these death missiles turn around and head straight for the stormsurge and my opponent is just like "nonononononothisisbad!". Unfortunately my luck ran out for that round as I was only able to shave two wounds off the Stormsurge. After that I did wind up getting tabled but not before my Dominus charges his Riptide, survives overwatch, and sweeps it from the board only to perish to crisis meltas in the next round.

Had I managed to hold out I actually would have won the game via objectives, but I won the moral victory as far as I'm concerned. Damn was it a fun game!

My mixed DA army up against a tank heavy SW army. 6 objectives on the board, I hold 3, he holds 3. Almost no chance of either of us losing them, we have them heavily guarded. We have blobs of troops on them, with vehicles blocking a charge against his objectives in his case or terminators in my case. Overall it had just been a stalemate of a game, we were having terrible rolls all around and hardly anything had died, and we were afraid to press forward in fear that we'd lose our current objectives.

It comes down to a single turn left. I have line breaker with some bikes, he got first blood, all tied up. He tries to kill off my bikes, 6 black knights and a librarian, using his last two barely surviving vindicators. Keep in mind this was before the rerollable jink. Total of 10 hits between the two tanks. Grand total of 2 wounds dealt, only one failed jink.

I see my last shot here, taking out his warlord. Arjac and five TH/SS termies had just wiped out my previous turn's attempt at taking the nearest objective (some standard bikes and 2 DW knights).

5 BK and libby w/axe, vs arjac and 5 terminators. Snap fire shooting kills a terminator. On the charge, hammer of wrath scores 3 wounds, two terminators roll a 1. BK land 11 wounds, an insane 7 of which rend. Arjac just barely survives, a single wound left. Attempts to beat the gak out of my librarian, who proceeds to make every single invuln. Axe to the face, buh bye Arjac baby.

A relatively small apocalypse game about two years. The main threat is a fully upgraded kustom stomps barrelling down the centre of the board to our gun lines.

Luckily, I am prepared for this.

Farsight, 7 crisis bodyguards, and a buff commander drop just behind it. They have missile pods and fusions blasters. Many markerlights hit the stompa. All their shots hit on 2+, are twinlinke, reroll to pen, and ignore cover. Two more 3 man crisis squads dropped next to them.

This makes 13 fusion blaster shots, all in melta range, 7 of which have twin-linked and tank hunter. 26 missile pod shots, 14 with twin-linked and tank hunter.

They fire point blank into the rear armour of the stompa. They pretty much all hit.

And they do barely anything. Even with melta and tank hunters, the stompa only took a couple of points of damage, and then next turn it murdered all my suits.

2 new ones (funnily enough, again with some cheap 100 point lasrifle sections)

1) for 3 turns, 2 baneblade varients fire at a riptide taking it to one wound at the end of turn 2, thing would not die. A single lasrifle man has LOS on the 'tide so he turns and shoots, hitting AND wounding. Riptide rolls a 1 for his armor save, and a 1 on his fnp. It was a loud few minutes in the hobby store

2) 20-man lasrifle section gets charged by a mauler fiend, looses 4 dudes, kills it with grenades. the next turn, a chaos knight walks up next to them in order to charge (and wipe) some rapiers. said lasrifle section uses their blast chargers, and glances a knight to death on his side armor (apparently chaos knights are 12 on the side?). short story long: I killed a titan with lasrifles, JUST FLASHLIGHTS MY ASS! .....the knight then fell over and basically wiped a different lasrifle squad (dropped them down from 20 models to 2 )

I was playing against a tyranid player a couple of years ago at 600pts.
I was getting raped on his board edge. My terminators + lord had deep struck and after one turn was down to a lord + 1 terminator. My heldrake had got into a dog fight with a flyrant and had lost, the hell turkey screeching one last time before it plummeted to earth. I had two squads of cultists each sat on an objective on my side, of course his flyrant fired everything he had at my cultists leaving just three left.
Roll double 1 for leadership test.
Fire a heavy stubber at his flyrant and get two 6's.
Wound with both.
He fails both saves.
Fails his grounding test.
Takes another wound from face planting the earth.
(Already took one wound from hell turkey vector strike)
Chaos Lord not wanting to look weak compared to a cultist charged and killed some termagants sitting on an objective.
Won 8-4

And that is how some determined cultists with a pea shooter managed to kill a tyrant.

Years ago I shot down a Storm Raven through his smoke screen with a Broadside. It was awesome.

I remember an SM vs IG infantry vs tank game, where my entire force was slaughtered and only my Captain was left. The Captain made a 36" sprint over to a Leman Russ tank, and managed to survive the run, thanks to having multiple wounds. When the Captain finally arrived at the tank, he stared slapping melta bombs on it, but took a hit from the Leman Russ' main gun. He survived on his last wound thanks to his invulnerable save, and managed to blow up the tank. There was one last tank, and it shot down my Captain, but if it wasn't there, I would have won the battle on my last unit.

There was also a necromunda game, where two gang members from opposing gangs had a standoff during the final battle. Both gang members were the only ones to survive the entire campaign thus far, and had been with each other's gangs since the beginning, so we considered them sworn enemies. The one on the opposing team was this daemon of a gang member, who almost never missed, and would almost never get hit, and my gang member saw his entire gang get shot down by this guy. During the final battle, my gang member was shot down, but managed to get back up, and afterwards would absolutely not slow down. In order to stop be knocked down again. My gang lost the battle and ultimately, the campaign, but not before my gang member turned the other one into a living pin cushion.

Had kind of an epic moment at a tournament yesterday. My opponent had a big bad deathstar unit of Lychguard, with Zandrekh, Orikan, and a couple of tricked-out Overlords (Royal Court in a Decurion), and they used whatever that item is that lets them deep strike kind of like Gate of Infinity. He mishapped and rolled a 1, so the whole 800 point unit just evaporated. He immediately conceded the game to me. I felt bad for him, but that was probably the only way I was going to win that game, as my opponent is pretty good with his 'crons and I have little idea how to beat them.

#WhenDeathstarsFail

In a fun 2v2 game, 1500 points a person. I was playing my usual mech Guard, ally had mechanized Marines. Opponents had an Ork CAD with a bunch of boyz and lootas, and a Tau CAD with a Riptide, a bunch of footslogging Fire Warriors, some crisis suits and stealth suits with a Ghostkeel.

We get first turn, and my Beasthunter Vanquisher fires at the Riptide...sadly it bounces off its invuln. He immediately moves it behind intervening terrain and does the JSJ thing until turn 4.

On turn 4, I fire my Vanquisher at a unit of lootas on top of the building its behind. It scatters perfectly back onto the 'Tide, wounds, and one-shots it. I now have a kill stripe on its barrel.

The cultists ran forwards, weathering the hail of bullets for two turns, miraculously only a few of the brotherhood fell as many of the bullets missed or were miraculously saved.

They charged on the third turn, through the rubble of the ruined city at the assault terminators who had struck in their path. Vraks challenged the cobalt captain and smote his ruin upon the ground before he could swing his thunderhammer.

The Gods of Chaos gestured with contempt and bestowed upon Vraks additional strength. The terminators all fell in the same melee at the same time.

Turn four and the brotherhood immediately charged the next enemy, a tactical squad. Vraks bellowed a challenge and was met in battle by another cobalt champion. The captain swung his powersword thrice times but missed each time. Vraks ducked and plunged his blade between armour segments, piercing the captains hearts. Some brothers fell, bringing their numbers to around 18. The Gods of chaos, amused bestowed upon Vraks an extra attack.

Turn five and the brotherhood were set upon by the Guard allies in the apocalypse game. Lasgun fire spanked off armour and ruin as the cultists charged. Many brothers were mown down by a round of shooting followed by overwatch. Still, Vraks and four others made it to their lines.


Covered in gore with sword raised above his head, Vraks bellowed one more challenge. He was met by the Commissar. They were well matched, the commissar saving blows while Vraks was too quick (or the commisar too clumsy) to be struck. Finally though Vraks struck a fatal blow.

The commissar fell and two dice fell alongside him. The first landed on 6, the second bounced off the terrain, and again, hit some rubble and balanced on a corner before finally.... slowly... coming to rest on... a 6.



The dust spiralled upwards around Vraks as he was lifted into the air. With the sound of a thousand orgasming nerds his form exploded and reformed into a mighty Daemon Prince of Tzeentch. The screams of ecstasy interrupted the tournament in Warhammer World.

In a local tournament I was up against a buddy's deamons with my Orks with a biker mob. Turn two he charged his plague fly's and crushers into my bikes in an attempt to get the upper hand and take away my furious charge. Combat went porrly for him and he wasn't able to tank my powerclaws attacks and my painboy saved the day. So on to the deamons instability test and we both agree it's double ones or I'm in control of the bored half.

He rolls....snake eyes!! We both yell out a Hugh Waaagh! Blood for the Blood God!!! Epic moment for deamons and Orks as he gets more heads and my Orks got to stomp another round!!

In my turn I proceed to wipe both squads, but it was an amazing moment. As an Ork player I can never say no to a good fight and an epic game!

I was playing a teaching game with my wife, back several editions ago. Just a pair of simple, tiny armies like you would see in a starter set, and the goal was to kill the other side to the last man- morale was going to be a rule introduced in our next game. Such a simple game ended up in a complete draw, with my Space Marine Dreadnought- with a destroyed assault cannon- standing there in front of a building where she had retreated a lone Guardsman up into the second floor. It was like the most impotent mexican standoff ever.

Had another one this weekend: My opponent is again Tau. He is doing the best he can to kite his commander away from my OL with 10 Warscythe Lychguard and Obyron. He decides to stall the unit by tank shocking them with a Hammerhead. I pass my leadership test an opt for For Death or Glory with Vargard Obyron. It just takes an average roll to glance, but I instead roll double 6s! I then roll another six on the vehicle damage table. The Hammerhead blows up 2 inches, meaning only Obyron is caught in the blast, but luckily, he passes his armor save. Again, I imagine that he did all of this without ever breaking eye contact with the Tau commander. I swear, it will one day be revealed that Obyron is actually the Silent King.

P.S. I lost the match 6-12.

Prince Yriel challenged my Broodlord... the entire fight I was taunting my friend with lines from GoT (Prince Oberyn)

"You raped her! Your murdered her! --- Who gave the order!"

...

The Broodlord in just fashion squished Prince Yriel's head into jelly, and I laughed and laughed... his Eldar tore me to pieces after that small victory though.

Playing my first match with my freshly assembled Fire Raptor.

The match was against Renegade Guard/CSM. I was getting Trounced, mostly because my reserves (including my Fire Raptor) had refused to come in). I had half a tactical Squad + Sergeant left hiding on an objective in a building, an immobilized Predator, and a pair of lascanons from a devastaor squad.

Turn 4 comes around, my reserves come in automatically. A drop pod full of Plasma Sternguard, a Dreadnought with an Assault Cannon, and my Fire Raptor.

The plasma Squad manages to eliminate a blob of renegades on an objective, while only managing to lose 3 out of the squad to gets hot. The Dreadnaught kills a terminator, essentially pissing off his friends lol.

But the awesome comes from the Fire Raptor, comes in, guns blasing. The nose gun Rending out a russ, and the turrets ripping appart a pair of renegade squads.

Turn ends, I think I may have a chance to pull off a win, then my heart sinks, my opponents Hydra gets through the Raptors Jink on a pair of pens. First one gives me a shaken result, 2nd.. immobilized.. roll a 1, crash and burn. Sigh.

Rolled to scatter the Crash, bam, vengeance the Raptor crashes right into my opponents Warlord, turning him into a Smear, giving me slay the Warlord, and a victory by one point.
