I do believe the dice gods hate me. One I game I killed my opponents hammerheads twice over but everytime I scored a penetrating hit and rolled a 5 or 6 he made his stupid disruption pod save.

The gods of chance are cruel indeed. I cant make a 3+ armor save to save my life. But some how my shoota boys can fire with pin point acuracy. I have had games where they were shooting upwards of a 65% hit rate.

Can't you see we have been abandoned? Forget matters of duty and honor to the emperor this is now a matter of pride.

so he just likes taunting you if you blew up his hammerhead? doesnt sound like a very sportsmanlike opponent if you ask me.

Yeah, like the time I shot 100 shots at a single terminator and it didn't die, or the time I shot my entire army at a land raider for several turns and it was only lightly bothered. The dice gods also really, really hate my artillery.

I've noticed that the dice gods have hated me as of late with last turn rolls. I've had several games now where wins turned into ties or losses due to the last turn die roll going one way or the other.

Yes. One time, a guy fired a squad of guard las guns at my space wolves. He rolled for six wounds and I had five fail armor saves.

I also failed three tough checks in a row on my TWC against a daemon player.

Horrific Howling Banshee

The latest game i played with a friend actually had amazing dice rolls for both of us. It was 1000pts and it seemed like every turn, one of our units would completely annihilate each other: First, his 1k sons destroyed a 10 man squad of my DA. Then, my howling banshees destroyed his greater daemon. Then his 1k sons wipe out my banshees. And to finish it off, a 10 man squad of my Striking Scorpions killed everything else he had left on the table in 2 turns.

On the weekend I had a group of 6 diversified Nobz including Painboy multi assault a Hammerhead (2 Powerklaws) and a unit of 10 Fire Warriors. I roll the Painboy first, managing to inflict a wound. I then roll 14 dice for 2 x Slugga/Choppas and 1 x Big Choppa - only a single 3+! I ended up only killing a single Firewarrior! (And weapon destroying and shaking the Hammerhead with 8 PK ST9 attacks!) I was concerned that, with a good roll, the Firewarriors might actually beat my Nobz! (They didn't)
