What is that one unit or units that seem to fail epicly at whatever they do. The one squad that get's fragged just after deployment. Do you have anything that manages to fail any armor checks, never get a hit, and always roll 12 on leadership checks?

Simply post the unit, and what has happened to it when you've played with it.

Mine would have to be my armored sentinel. There has only been 1 occasion where it wasn't destroyed on the enemy's first shooting turn, and that was against tyranids. It then managed to get charged by a trygon prime, and explode. It has 2 kills to it's name. An ork boy, and a rhino. It has done absolutely nothing for me, but I still love it.

I haven't seen a thread like this before, though I may have just missed it.

9 Wyches with Lady Malys.
Apparently not having FNP means they fail every single invulnerable save they take and they always fleet just short of a unit so they get shot, and then fail every save they can take from that point.

My dakka pred can't hit the sky if it shot straight up in an open field. It had such a bad reputation that a friend of mine stopped even shooting at it in every game since it never did anything.

My Valkyrie. Everytime I play it, it either dies on the first turn, usually horribly, or lives to do sweet f all for the entire game. It has 1 (one) kill to its name... a gaunt. Just one. Out of its 2 MRP's, 2 hvy bolters, and multilaser, it has killed one gaunt. This is discounting teamkills. It's MRP has wiped my penal legion more often than the enemy. In fact, I've shot it down in one game with my lascannons because I decided that its crew were followers of Chaos.

Lol, good ones. If I remember correctly, a single guardsman of mine has more kills, and better ones two (he was armed with a GL) Krak grenade at a dreadnought, and seven space marines. It's embarrassing.

My Snipers never do anything, i see it as a bonus when they actually roll 1 wound.

Hmm.....I think Guardsman Marbo has failed me the most in my IG army, and he's been fairly effective. Once he threw a demo charge at clustered termies that just GoI'd to my table edge. with a BS of 5, he somehow missed every single person he was aiming at....

As for my DA, a plasma dread failed me pretty bad. He charged the nightbringer with 3 attacks, needed 4's to hit, 2's to wound.....one hit, no wounds. And the fething thing only had one wound left....

All three of my Ravagers....they either can't hit or fail to pen a vehicle on a regular basis..its to the point where I am considering replacing the lances with dissy cannons.
