In a recent Apocalypse game I wrecked an undamaged Baneblade with a single round of fire from a Thunderbolt fighter. I got my teeth kicked in the rest of the battle but that was pretty sweet.

In an Apoc game, on turn 1 Bjorn Fell-handed faced off against a Stompa - he took off 1 structure point with his assault cannon, and then assaulted it and literally punched it to death. Then next turn he ran over to a Leman Russ and punched it to death and then took out a battlewagon before the game ended. He was invincible that game.

In a team game, one of my friends was borrowing my Space Wolves and used Logan, running him by himself. He took out a ton of Chaos Marines single-handedly and shrugged off 2 turns of enemy shooting (including shots from a Baneblade and Shadowsword), and didn't die.

And then getting his last wound buggered by a D cannon

Or, wiping my friends new Stormtroopers of the facem o9f the board with 2 Pallies.


Or ID his HWS with an Assault Cannon. Apparrently, HW teams can't suffer ID, because there is an unwritten rule that they are 2 models on 1 base.

Well it was not my moment but it was the baddest assery moment I have yet seen in a game...

During a huge 30k per side Apoc game, this Guy....


Ole Ghazghkull Mag Urk Thraka, was stepped on by this thing...



And on the turn when he was trod upon Ghazzy called down his special Waagh, and survived the massive tread of the Reaver Titan

As the Titan's foot lifted from the 2 meter indention it left in the ground, Ghazghkull pulled himself from his Ghazghkull shaped indention, dusted off his armor and said "Oi where do ya think yer going big un..weze got unfinshied buzniss!"

Ghaz then attacked the Titian crawling up his massively armored foot and to its vital leg joint, where upon he ripped out so many vital bits the Titan crashed to the ground and exploded ( several sixes were rolled and chain reactions ensued)

And through the haze, dust and heat distortion of the fallen Titian, the Ork warlord strode forth, cast his baleful eye about and bellowed.."NEXT!"

This great moment brought a cheer from everyone playing, other than the Titan's owner that is, who was very butthurt, and pouted most profoundly

Thats the Day I decided Ghaz was da man!

I had a ig sgt who was the last one holding an objective get charged by a th/ss termie. I rolled my 3 dice, got a 2,3,4. So one hit. I picked it up, knowing it was futile, seeing as i needed a 5+, i got a 6. My oppounet was like "so what, i got a 2+ armor save". He then rolled a 1. My sgt, who by all means should have been squished, killed a termir. He got a field promotion to platoon commander.

Both my vindicators had their cannons torn off first turn. They then spent the rest of the game rampaging out of control. Ghaz tried to stop one of the them: instead he ripped off the storm bolter and then got ran over.

A group of five scouts, with a combi-melta/powerfist sarg and a land speeder storm outflanked a grey knight gunline. In three turns they destroyed four of six rifle-dreads. Then they died a very horrible death to massed heavy bolters.


As an aside, there are to "unwritten rules" in this game. IG HWT can be instant deathed just like anything else.

lol good storys, I thought of another one me and my friend who controlled of his titan in an apoc game against orks the ork enemy went first and masses all his boyz up (so far he hadn't seen the titan because it was hidden behind me and my friends cases under a table behind our legs (we were trying to make sure he didnt see it)) when we set up our army's the look on his face when we put a titan with a turbo laser destroyer and a plasma blast gun on the table opposite his footslogging 5000 point army of orks then put a wall of guard and grey knights including 4 of my friends leman russes and his bane blade and my dread knight with a heavy phycannon called hammer of heretics


(just so you know we were playing kill points final score 17-8 to us only 15 of my 1500 points worth of knights dead (and yes he did have more points then me I know) I think you can guess who killed the most orks)

My Knight-Commander got pretty fed up when Warboss OddTeef called him a 'Grey-skinned panzee' across the battlefield and in retaliation killed twenty-four of Ork boyz around him with a Crisis Squad of twin-linked flamers and punched a clean, basket-ball sized hole in the Greenskin's gob from his fusion blaster.

3vrs3 apoc game.
My allied chaos player brings a war hound from reserve start of turn 3. It promptly blasts a hole through the enemy dreadnought line.
Next turn the enemy chaos player flank marches his tricked out commander with a vortex grenade right beside the war hound. Tosses the grenade....which rebounds off the warhound and lands smack on top of the commander. Too funny.

Same turn, the ork player (allied with Ill fated chaos commander) brings ghaz and 5 mega nobs right up to my revenant.. (via flank march) shooting fails, charge.... Failed when the revenant decided to punt 3 of the nobz then make all of his saves. Next turn ghaz plus crew got a pulsar to the face.

Then there was the flank marching Necron (cryptecs?) jump infantry running into a reaver and introducing it to the existence of entropic strike. Reaver Titan never got a shot off. Showed up, got ganked.....next!

Best moment for me was back in 3rd edition with my Sisters of Battle using the Codex: Chapter Approved list. My seraphim were stuck-in with a ridiculously suped-up Ork Warboss with his meganob bodyguard (I seem to recall that an abnormally large % of the army was tied-up in this HQ unit).

The Sister Superior leading the seraphim was "killed" by the warboss, passed her "Spirit of the Martyr" roll, got up, and killed the warboss by rolling lights-out on her attacks (all sixes on the wounds with her power sword).

Having a bloodthirster singlehandedly take on an entire 1500pts of eldar. He litterally made 40+ saves. The other guy got desperate and suicided wraithlords, it didn't work. I ended up losing (killpoints) because the rest of my army pretty much killed itself with mishaping and a guided bladestorm isnt nice against bloodletters. Ever since that day I'm no longer allowed to field bloodthirsters with my local group. Why? because thats only above average rolling for that monstrosity.

Personally one of my favorite moments is when Draigo stepped up with all his Paladin friends to slay the schemeing Changer of Fates, Karios Fateweaver. With Halberds and swords drawn the heroes of the Imperium charged into the twin headed demonic beast.

Nemesis force weapons crackled against the Oracle of Tzeentch's protective wardings. His wizened frame shuddered under the pressure of the might of the Imperium's finest.

And with the flick of a wrist, the Supreme Grand master of the Imperium was reduced to a gibbering, drooling spawn. Centuries built up psychic protection and inscribed runes powerless agaisnt a gift of chaos.

Good times.
