As above- what are your most memorable kills in a game of 40k?

A few of mine are listed below-

2nd Edition- Blood Angels space marine with krak missile on an Ork Dreadnought (cardboard cut out that came with the game)- took out the legs and it fell backwards onto the Ork Warboss standing behind it and killed him too. Imperium 1 Orks 0

2nd Edition- Blood Angels chaplain in terminator armour fights 3 tyranid warriors and a Hive Tyrant on his own for 3 turns, blinding a couple of them with his rosarius (which at the time was a conversion field that could blind people) killed 2 in the process before being chopped to bits by the hive tyrant's bone swords.

6th Edition- Chaos Lord of Khorne with jump pack tries to hammer of wrath my Dark Eldar Archon, and is killed instantly after being hit with a huskblade. It was almost as if the Archon backflipped out of the way and snicked him across an armour joint as he did so..

6th Edition- Necron Overlord disembarks from his Command Barge before it gets blown up by a lucky shot from a Chaos vindicator. Proceeds to the nearest group of 20 cultists, wading through Heavy Stubber,autorifle,autopistol and shotgun fire without injury. Kills the champion and about 3 other cultists with his warscythe, which causes them to flee- Overlord kills them all in a sweeping advance.

6th Edition- Dark Angels Venerable Dreadnought kills a charging Maulerfiend in close combat with his power fist. Almost as if he shoved it down the beast's throat as it ran towards him lol.

6th Edition - Trollzyn strikes with his Empathic Obliterator during a teaching game with a friend where I'm trying out his Necrons while he plays his Ork army. Wiped out a squad of 20 boyz in a shot.

I will NEVER roll that well again.

6th Edition - I had 1 Biker Nob left from a Warbiker squad. I decide to have him drive up to my opponent's Land Raider Redeemer and try to pop it. I fail.

In the SM player's turn, he shoots that Nob with everything on the LLR...and fails. Then, he decides to have his Captain shoot his combi-melta at me, then try to assault...and fails both. Then, he sends 4 assault terminators at me, that'll hit at I1. My Nob killed 2 before finally going down.

Might have to invest in a Trazyn the Infinite model... Empathic Obliterator sounds fun!

Lol!! Brilliant!

Unit of 25 grots shooting a Daemon Prince out of the air and killing him in one round of shooting

6th edition

10 ork komandoz with a bigshoota outflank and killed a fire prism the turn they came on. Both of us agreed that small arms
shouldn't kill a tank damb burger rules lol

Still lost the game

Sixth Edition- chaos terminator champion challenges blood angels terminator sgt, wins. Dark apotheosis= Daemon prince! Same turn. Abbadon slays mephistan. Dark apotheosis= Daemon prince! 2 in one turn haha

5th edition. My friend deep strikes 500+ points of tricked out jetpack Death Company and Astorath on turn 3 and leaves them in a nice tight group.

On my turn I somehow manage to maneuver to get a Leman Russ Demolisher in LOS and range. I drop the pie plate. Final placement was over the entire unit!

After the smoke clears just Astorath is left all alone, looking a bit confused as to what the hell just happened!

Unlucky..

I' ve not had any but I've had two happen to me.
Just my luck hahaha
The first was a single S7 shot from a Nid against my forgefiend destorying it.
The 2nd was when in CC with a 5 man squad of marines my Termi Chaos lord rolled 3 1's for his armour saves. I felt like crying :(

Coincidentally that nearly happened to me on this Sunday just gone.. Brother killed my terminator sergeant in a duel with his champion, got a taste of immortality ( i think it's called anyway) on that one. Killed my company master after the dice betrayed me and caused me to A get a rubbish result on monster slayer of caliban roll, and B miss entirely when fighting his Lord on a juggernaut. Balthasar dies- brother gets dark apotheosis.And that was even with his Preferred Enemy re-roll to wound. Damn..

3rd Edition: Defeated an Ulthwe Strike Force 2000 point army using nothing but a Callidus Assassin.

Complete fluke of a game. Kept them in the same corner, out of LOS of the rest of my Guard army, for the entire game. Callidus killed units, stunned groups of Walkers, and generally caused all sorts of mayhem. I'll never be able to repeat it.

Sounds like you have a habit of upsetting people in 40k lol.

5th edition. My Tau commander gets charged by a daemon prince which despite warp time, manages only 1 wound, which i promptly saved on a shield drone. Tau commander proceeds to punch the fulla in the face taking out 2 wounds and finishing the thing off. Who said tau can't cc? Oh wait.

Hrm... one of the best would have to be my latest game with my BT. A few other units shot up a Battlewagon that was carrying Ghazghkull Thraka and his merry band of Nobz. So the player - who is, well, in all honesty a bad player - disembarks the passengers to that Thraka is closest to my table ended. Alas, on the previous turn a wild Vindicator appeared to a spot maybe 12" from where the Battlewagon now met its demise.

So, the Vindicator takes a shot, landing a direct hit. 10 under the plate (all bunched together, instead of trying to spread them out). 7 wounds, meh. So, then the ork player decides to take 4 wounds for Thraka, and the rest for his Nobz. Ookay, sure. So he rolls for his Nobz. All fail, three down. Then he rolls for Thraka. Fails all four. Dead Thraka. 300+ points killed in one blast.

-

Another incident could be where my Ork Warboss and 6 Nobz were fighting a Daemon Prince and Bloodthirster in close combat. Well, actually the DP had taken a single wound from Lootas and then it was finished off by the Nobz, while the Warboss apparently wasn't in range to attack the Bloodthirster that turn because of some nitpicking shenanigans. Then the Bloodthirster challenged the Warboss, who then died before getting to attack. At that point I think 5 Nobz remained and the Bloodthirster was at full wounds, I believe. When the dust settled, I had two Nobz left and the Bloodthirster was dead.

One thing that makes this potentially not so glorious is that in retrospect I'm not sure if the leadership tests were rolled for properly for every turn! While nitpicking about placement and Fear tests, he seemed to forget about those, and in the excitement and given my usual forgetfulness it might've gotten skipped at some point. At least I don't recall even having to use Bosspole at all, and after the Warboss died I only had Ld 7 after all.

Clearly your Tau Commander has balls of steel lol

You're telling me.

Don't get me wrong - I do not attribute this to some sort of genius-level tactical acumen, or put the victory down to some sort of miraculous natural talent; it was a complete fluke through and through, and will never be repeated.

She could almost be compared to Ryu Hyabusa in that respect lol

Way back in 2nd edition, I was down to a single gretchin, and within charging range of a marine tank (probably a Rhino). My opponent said if I got 4 sixes in a row he'd count it as a rare kill, so I did, and the gretchin won .

More recently I've no idea, my guards seem largely useless against terminator armour.

2nd Ed - Bad Moons Nobz mob with heavy weapons hit cyclone missile launcher wolf guard termie, rolls on table and detonates all 12 missiles over cyclone. Kills entire squad. Denying him chance to use that 6" radius Krak missile cheese from firing them all.

6th ed - First outing for new Dark Angels codex, last turn, a LC death wing charges lone surviving Blood Angel devastator denying the objective. 4 attacks, 2 miss. Fails to wound with the 2 hits and fails even with rerolls. My Dev has one attack, hits, wounds and he fails. Ensuring my victory.

This weekend just gone was also my first outing with 2013 Dark Angels. Lost though :(. I hate my brother's Defiler! Just wouldn't go down despite pouring pretty much all of my heavy weapons fire into it.

5th Edition: Mephiston assaults a unit of DE Witches, and wipes them. Consolidates into cover, and survives the next round by making 22/22 armor and cover saves in a row. We counted afterward, he shot 1450 point of his army all at Mephiston and didn't do a single wound.

6th Edition: Tyranid opponent deep strikes in my deployment zone, but conveniently everything is within 12" of Coteaz inside a bastion with some plasma cannon servitors and an Icarus Lascannon on top. Killed the Doom, Deathleaper, and a bunch of warriors. My Dreadknight then proceeded to win a single, simultaneous combat against a Trygon and the Swarmlord, surviving with one wound left.

Loving these kills! Keep them coming!

Does Mephiston still get to eat people? I haven't seen the latest rules for him

Back in third edition I played a couple games with my imperial guard, one was the most memorable, against a tyranid player. The opponent had been rule lawyering everyone at the shop and people would show up to his games just to root for the other players.

First turn I placed my orbital bombardment on his hive tyrant, which he said wasn't allowed because other monstrous creatures were closer, so I had to move it onto a carnifex. I missed and the shot scattered directly onto the hive tyrant, who failed three different saves and died(there was much rejoicing by all). He then tried to back out of m having to shoot at the carnifex and said I could target his tyrant but was met by all the bystanders with disapproval.

Same game a couple turns later his hormagaunts charged my infantry, and were short. The infantry all had grenades back when they were useful and them guards obliterated the swarm.

Needless to say he did not win the game, and if I believed in karma this would have been proof to me.

Also same game I really cheesed him off by how I treated my figs. He was a much better painter than I was and took great care with his models. Me I was still trying out guard and didn't like it, so they were transported in a cardboard box in a pile. As I took casualties I would give a quick memorial speech to each group of casualties, something like " you have failed the emperor, back in the box", and toss the about four feet over to the cardboard grave on the floor. They were metal and survived, but he was set off by it .

There aren't any feeding rules for him now. He just stabs them instead.
