5 Assault Terminators taking 7 wounds from rapid firing Necron Warriors. " Hell yea I'm going to kill at least one of those b*stards now!" he said. Well, enough said. 4 died due to my horrible rolling...

Another one was my friends statistics of saving throws during the 3 first turns of one game. 11/13 3+ saves failed. It was pretty hilarious.

And now for the classic. I had 3 Terminators left, charging my opponents Gretchin mob with about 9 Grot and 1 Handler-thing. These 3 Terminatours had Thunder Hammers so attacked last. Handler killed one with his poisoned attack and Grots killed the remaining two Terminators with a good stab!

Hi in one battle I was facing My mates 3 carnifexes geanstealer horde with 8 hormogaunts on one side I had taken heavy bolters and a defiler and some berzerkers Hormogaunts charge and kill 10 Zekers without losing any of their own and I killed a carnifex with a bolt pistol and one with a chainsword while the 3power hit them a total of 20 times and did absolutely nothin then a different game I had taken an anti fex squad with lascannon and plasma gun after 6 turns it was them 5 genestealers one full wound fex one fex on 1 wound 1 warrior and those 8 hormogaunts then a differet game hewas my ally against marines we had killed a dread and 1 dev marine with bolter I then deepstriked 2 termi lords with khorne daemon weapon and 7 termis with lightning claws reaper and MoK on the roof of the building with scouts devs and curiosly a dread they barely fit on top of Wiped out the dread then the devs then missed the scouts the scouts wounded a lord once and they all die from no retreat the scouts missile launcher then over 4 turns blew up my land raider by blowig its guns and tracks off luckily I slaughtered them with 40 Zerkers so they shall not be battle brothers

Um, ever heard of punctuation?

playing a team battle i found my ork psycher zogwort, face to face with the nightbringer. who i turned into a squig.
pretty much the single most demoralizing move i ever made against them.loool

My Pedro had 4 invol to take and he got 4,4,5,6 and then won the combat.

< Taken by the void dragon. >

My buddy's C'Tan getting into base contact with my Noise marines (ten of them), and not getting a single casualty with the gaze ability.... kept him tied up for 3 turns there...

How about a 6-man Banshee squad completely failing to wound a unit of chaos marines?

During one of my first games not knowing much about the rules or tactics i was fighting some nids in a tourny at my FLGS and after doing some shoot jump shoot jump with my crisis suits i weighed my options and charged a group of warriors, the room went quiet when they heard the tau player actually charged INTO combat, the room exploded when the warriors whiffed and my crisis suits sent em running. Still lost the game but it was a moral victory

About a month later i was playing a friend of mine who is much more experienced and has a far better list than me playing plague marines and I'll tell you what toughness 5 is annoying =P so with my half hearted list that ended up having a squad of gun drones ended up charging into a group of marines not only won combat but chased em down and shot em to death, who knew i could roll that many 6's? My friends angry 'dance' was hillarious

My friend told me a story of a big game him and his friend was playing 2 chaos players vs 2 guard players well one of the guard players finished his turn and went to the bath room while he was gone his friend threw a grenade while standing near his friends tanks well apparently a strong wind picked up as it scattered back 6" blew up the tosser and 2 of his friends tanks. He came back from the bathroom and was so very confused as to how his tanks could have been destroyed on his allies turn.

I've played three games with a Mek and a SAG against my friend's Salamander's army. Each time I've shot him I'm rolled doubles twice during the game. Once I blew up a unit of my Shootaz, I've shot my own Mek into a Land Raider in a desperate attempt to destroy it, and I wiped out three of his units on a double-six roll with a HIT for scatter.



I now play Meks with KFFs instead.

anyone got any ideas for making gretchin look more elite?

played a tau player a few days ago, and as usual i run 2 units of 20 gretchin.
once they got to shoot, both units fire at 10 fire warriors, killing all of them, then then went on to kill another unit of FW's in assault, and also killing off the suit leader and his unit (unsure of the leaders name, im no good with tau names )

Have 'em wearing bits of fire warrior armour. Have a 'leader' grot wearing a battlesuit helmet.

grot conscripts for the greater good! ;D

im just amused that grotz seem to be overall better than FW's, simply for 3 points each
i may get rid of da boyz and take more gretchin

i like the FW parts idea, i might make one of the grot leaders with a form of pulse pistol.
could allways use the head comm parts from the tau (random things stuck to the FW's heads) and put them on the grotz aswell as upgrading thier guns

I was playing a small game against eldar. Now, we had taken about 1,000 points each, he had his avatar and I had my leman russ for our heavy hitters.

My leman rus was mopping up infantry when the avatar came along. My infantry platoon was on the other side of the field save for one squad. The squad had a lascannon so I fired at the avatar, causing a wound. Now the avatar only had one wound left. I fired for my guys and they hit the avatar 3 times, each doing nothing.

I only had my sgt left. He fired his laspistol and I rolled a 1. My opponent laughed, and then I told him that I had sharpshooters so I could reroll my one. We both thought it would do nothing, but I rolled anyways. I rolled a 6 to hit and another 6 to wound. My opponent made his role and got a 1. The look on his face was priceless and I screamed "Holy gak, a laspistol took out your avatar!". Everyone else in the gaming store looked and laughed, its not something you see everyday I guess.

The ancient secrets have been revealed!
to kill an avatar, all we must do is attack him with our flashlights of doom!

Yes, molten body may prevent flamer or melta damage, but nothing can stop a flash light.

watch this and you will see what i mean!




oscar.

uhm.... I dont think you guys played Kill teams with the right rules. I dont remember it exactly (I dont have that rulebook handy) But I do remember you couldnt take anything with a armor save better then 3+ and Im sorta sure you couldnt take multi wound models

Ok Ive got the king all be all retartedness of random things happening.

In 4th edition I was playing my oldest brother. SM VS SM
It was a 1200pt game. We were pretty close and nearing the end. I had a dred and a tactical squad left, he had a dred and a tactical squad left. So the tacticals were dukeing it out and we decided to go dred to dred. He immobilized mine and destroyed everything but the bolter thats on the CC arm. So he decides to leave my dred for now, kill my tac squad and then finish me off. But on my turn I say screw it and shoot the bolter into the back of the dred, rolled 2 6s and blew his dred up with bolter fire. I ended up winning simply because what was left of his tac squad couldnt destroy my dred. It was hilarious

< Taken by the void dragon. >

its worth a shot
and they seem to do some pretty decent things every time i use them, from beating termies in combat to out shooting tau.
just need to find someone using a greater daemon now, and ill test them a bit more (or get them all slaughtered in the process)

I know that they weren't fighting drones, but mounting your gretchin on drones like the DE hellions sounds pretty good.

i like that idea
might have to do that to a few of them.


so i have that idea.
tau tech and weps.
might make some kanz out of battle suits aswell now

A squad of my guardsmen were shot down by my enemies tau fire warriors after taking another squad out in assault and only my veteran sergeant with stormbolter and melta bombs survived (4th edition rules ftw) since the enemy didn't feel like wasting an entire squads shooting to take him out i had him move slowly towards an enemy hammerhead. My sergeant actually managed to assault the rear armor with his bombs and score a penetrating hit that made the vehicle explode. my Sergeant definately earned his points that game. 1 hammerhead and 4 fire warriors.

A squad of 12 ork boys were running after my ratlings and had decided to bunch up so that if I fired a blast, it would miss them on a scatter.

Unfortunately, my leman russ rang true and scored a direct hit, killing all 12 orks and saving my ratlings.

The next turn, deffkoptas dropped biggbombs and killed every one of my ratlings.


In another match I saw an ork trukk ram a predator. The trukk took the turret off of the predator and was immobilized in the process.

Last week i was playing a 550point game i think with my orkz vs my friends space marines. It was objective based DoW game and i was running 3 mobs of boyz and some lootas he had one tac squad 2 combat squads and vindi. The first turn, he takes out 6 guys in one mob i pass the moral test. The beginning of the second turn, he shreds one mob with bolters and the vindi it fails its moral an i take it off the board. My turn i glance the vindi to death with the lootas and charge one of the combat squads with the low strenght mob and another full mob, and somehow fail to kill it with 2 pks and almost 25 boyz, dropping the already low strenght mob down to 6 boyz and nob. Third turn, his assault he drops the low mob to 3 boyz and nob, i finally finish it off. My turn, i move the almost full mob to charge his other combat squad and leave the almost dead squad alone when i realize i need to actually hold my objective if i dont want to lose, so i run them 18 inches in two turns to take the objective. He realizes that with only 4 models left he only needs one kill to make me take a moral test that i would probably fail making the unit sitting on the objective flee off the board. I'll save some time and just skip to during the next 3 turns he takes five krak missle shots and 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, . Thanks to him focusing on the small group objective sitting i managed to run up the mob and kill the other combat squad, however the tac squad managed to kill my mob before the game ended stoping me from contesting his objective and making it a tie not only in objectives, but kill points. I couldnt stop laughing because his marines that are always obscene in shooting managed to miss five shots in a row when getting just one wound would have won him the game.

i was brand new to the game and i was playing space wolves against my buddie's tau. Basically his army did what they do best and shot my entire army to death with barely any wounds except my wolf lord. Who went on with only one wound left to pretty much massacre his entire army by himself goin from cc to cc. I passed over 60 armor saves and over 50 invul saves in the process. Near the end i finally fail one armor save and my buddy is jumping up and down with glee shouting "Finally he's dead that frinker is finally dead" I slowly pick up the one failed armor save and tell him its not over yet. he looks at me in disbelief and i show him the rule for runic charm which allowed me to re-roll one failed armor save. I go on killing a few more things until he only has 2 steath suits and a hammerhand left. hammerhead killed the wolf lord in the end and i lost but still that wolf lord earned his reputation that day.

I love it when things like that happen. Once a ways back, I played chaos. One match I remember It was me vs SM and I had a squad with a pretty badass aspiring champion in it. The SM killed the whole squad except the champ. That one champ went on to kill 2 tac. squads and wound his commander. Pretty hardcore champion lol

My warboss surrounded by thirty slannesh marines and killing them all...

Shokkattack gun removing a nurgle prince daemon thingy

and whiping a tau player with nothing but lootas shootas and shokk gunz

I played a SM buddy of mine in a 1500-point game. I was playing IG and we were doing DOW deployment with a special twist (don't know why we did it...) where you can put as many units as you want on the board instead of the usual 1 HQ 2 Troops. He put his termie squad of 5 guys with t-hammers right across from my deployment line and set up all of his other guys (8 combat squads, 4 rhinos, 5 Sternguard, Devs, a Predator, one Dred, a LRC, and some commander guy) in a line right in front of my guys. I was like oh noooes!! So I proceed to seize the initiative, and, first shot, blow up the dred with 1 Lacannon shot, killing 3 Marines with it. Then It took 3 ML shots destroy 1 weapon and stun the LR, which was finished off by a random melta guy that had accidentally been included in my list, killing his commander and the 5 sternguard riding with him. Then a trio of Autocannons (HWTs ftw!) thrice-immoblized the Pred (side armor) making it destroyed. My Leman Russ killed 8 guys and then my Demolisher killed 6 more in the form of his devastator squad. Flashlights and Heavy weapons/special weapons rapid-fired and killed another 18. My chimeras killed 2 rhinos and immoblilized the a third. Unfortunately, I forgot about his termies, who were right by my 5-man veteran squad with 3 meltas. I shot the meltas, which whiffed, but my Vet. Sarge with a laspistol and 2 rapidfiring lasguns killed all five! I was feeling really good, so I said f-it, I'll just flamer a combat squad with my flamer-suicide Command and charge in to any stragglers since my officer has a power weapon. My 4 flamers scored 19 hits on his combat squad and they all burned. My commander then assaulted the 2nd to last combat squad that was untouched so far and killed 3 (HSO btw) while the other two were bludgeoned to death by the rest of the squad. All he had left was a rhino, an immobilized rhino, and two combat squads with a third one at 2 man strength (who was busy running away). Needless to say, he was so pissed that he charged my command squad who had used their consolidation to form up into COD (can you do that?) at which point I killed him before he could strike back. He moved his guys back to an objective in the middle of the board and was able to run and claim it (our store was closing, so he technically could have a draw if we each had 1 objective each). Unfortunately for him, the manager was nice enough to allow us to finish. I killed the rest of his army that next turn. Most awesome stat ever: NO CASUALTIES IN A 1500-pt GAME!!!!! All my guys got a nicer paint job as reward for a job well done !!

IG firepower Rules !!!!
