Lone scout sargeant vs Daemon prince:
Sarge wounds daemon price 3 times.
Runs away
Termies arrive- go into CC- die in 2 turns.
Sarge levels his trusty bolt pistol- got the DP straight between the eyes.
He is now named Caddius, has a beautiful callidus assassin wife, migrated to Armaggeddon for a honeymoon, making guerrilla attacks in the planet's forests on Waagh! Ghazghkull.
Since then, he has had another 13 confirmed kills against units that are either vehicles, HQ choies or over 150 points:
The avatar of khaine
Vindicator
Land speeder
Chapter master
Chaplain
Ranger squad (eldar)
Tactical squad (where he met Mrs. Caddius)
Creed
Kell
CCS
another vindicator
Predator
Carnifex

I was watching a newbie 'nids vs marines game. A brood of 10 hormagaunts charged a squad of 5 scouts. The hormagaunts fail to score a single wound, take 5 casualties in return, then fail all 5 no retreat saves.

Way back when I played Chaos, I had a dread assault a SM dread. The SM dread ripped me apart as I just missed every single attack possible. So when it finally walked away from the CC I was immobolised with just a bolter left. So for gaks and giggles, in my shooting phase I shot the rear armor of the SM dread, rolled a 6 for glance and a 6 for damage. Blew that sucker sky high with a bolter, hilarious way to stick it to a dread that just anal rapped me the turn before.

Hanging Out with Russ until Wolftime
|
My wolves were in the process of eliminating some heretic guard. Or were they traitors? I forget, but it's not important why they are heretic traitor xenos loving skum after all.
5 Long Fangs (and Pack Leader) + Njal + Lazorback spend 3 turns happily Firing Missiles and Living Lighting and Layzcannonz at poor Chimeras and remain unscathed.
All of a sudden, Blobs, Blobs everywhere.
Oh noes, Al'rahem's Platoon has arrived. Plasma PCS in a Chimera with 50 Guardsmen + 1 Commissar which blob up (yay for KP) all arrive next to my Fangs on the left flank.
Shooting time. Al'Rahem orders the Blob to FRFSRF on my fangs. 150 Lasbolts set the air aflame (and 1 Bolt Round, very important) and kill everything except one Missile Long Fang and leaves Njal on 1 Wound (yeah, Ensorcered Terminator armour my arse).
The Plasma vets open up on the Lazorback (this would prove to be a critical mistake) and assplode it, causing no wounds to the Fang and Njal.
The Chimera opens up it's MULTILAZOR and in true CS Goto fashion, kills Njal.
I pass my morale with a roll of 9. >.>
Next turn, I move up, shout angrily and assault the blob squad with my Long Fang (for the lulz, and just to annoy him by making him move all his doods to pile in  ).
The brave Long Fang swings his mighty Missile Launcher like a club and skillfully brains a Guardsman before being bayonetted. However, the Most Holy™ Ceramite of his Most Holy™ Power Armour®™ was able to prevent any of the bayonets hitting anything vital (like the Livers, the most important organs for a Space Wolf).
Praise be to Russ and the Allfather, the Long Fang has been victorious in avenging his brothers in the furnace of battle! The weak and pathetic traitor scum look towards their Sergeants for guidance, and despite a few encouraging words from the Commissar, tries to leg it (they rolled a 10).
One Bolt-Pistol-to-the-Face sandwich later, the Guardsmen once again try to face the feral beast, but alas, the Godlike rage of the Wolves of Fenris is too much for them to handle, and they break despite the liberal helpings of Bolt-Pistol-to-the-Face sandwich available (they rolled an 11).
Seeing the cowards attempt to run, the brave Long Fang left at his foe, carving a bloody path left and right until all were either dead, dying or long gone, fleeing for their mothers like the babes they are (he rolled a 2 for Sweeping Advance. I rolled a 1. I caught him. 51 Guardsmen wiped out by a lone Long Fang. I won that game, coincidently.  )

Saw a mob of about a dozen gretchin charge a unit of deathwing. 2 termies died, sure they killed all the gretchin but on points the ork player was ahead.
Had a single squad of CSM with BP+ CC weapons go through an entire IG firing line of about 80 troops. He just kept throwing his squads into CC "more attacks will do it!"
An ork mob of slugga boyz(i think there were 20 of them) killed a 8 man berzerker unit in the shooting phase. Neither of us were happy  i know it wasnt CC but it was sweet CC denied!
Saw a mob of gretchin keep a carnifex busy in CC for 11 ( CC) turns (entire game bar 1st turn).
I got my oblits into CC with an Avatar (i presume he charged) and took him down in 2 turns with their power fists, and only lost 1 of the 3.
These examples are from 3rd edition, though i think the 2nd one might have been in 4th. cant remember.

Playing against a BA friend, this was during 5th but with the old PDF BA codex.
Emperor's Champion and 5 friends Drop Pod in on turn 2 close to a 4x missile dev squad and use the pod to block LoS. His Baal Predator promptly rends the gak out of my pod, scoring 4 penetrating hits with his assault cannon. The pod goes up in flames and the devastators fire 4x krak along with bolter fire at my marines. When the dust clears, only the Emperor's Champion remains. Passing my Righteous Zeal test and rolling a 4 for movement, my Champ then proceeds to cleave the faces of the devastators, consolidate towards the Baal, shrug off all his shooting the following round and catch up to the immobilised Baal (shot it with my dread on 1st turn). Having mangled the poor tank, my champion keeps going and kills off a whole bunch of marines.
Final death toll to my Champion: 5 Devastators, 1 Baal Predator, 7 Assault Marines, 5 Scouts, 3 Veterans, 10 Tactical Marines. When the game was over, my Champion wasn't even hurt.
The point of this anecdote is: Don't anger the Emperor's Champion or he'll kill you, your friends, your friend's friends, your friend's friend's cousin's brothers former roommate and wreck your ride!

Pretty epic run of luck with my kroot and hounds not long ago.
Turn 1 - charge 12 strong trukk boyz mob that just lost their ride (it careened up towards my line) wipe them with no casualties and consolidate 6" back into woods.
Turn 2 - unaware that kroot don't count woods as difficult terrain, 30 strong slugga boyz squad w/ PK mob closes to within 10 or so inches. I charge in my turn and kill about 20-22 on the charge and take a few casualties before they leg it and I run them down. Consolidate the majority of my mob back into cover.
Turn 3 - charge and wipe out the 18 strong storm boyz squad that had just eaten a squad of crisis suits.
Turn 4 - wipe out the remains of another slugga boyz mob. At this point my squad is down to about 7 or so.
Turn 5 - kroot get shot up (down to 2 models). They hold though and in my half of the turn run and claim the objective giving me a 1-0 victory on objectives.
20 kroot account for approximately 60-something Orks. That one 130 point squad accounts for approximately half his army.

Uuh- about 10 times out of 22 games.
He never does anything of note until his squad dies. he then gets angry.
He killed it by going into CC with it, got some lucky rolls. (he caused the final wound after his last man died- told you he gets angry.
This is the level of his reputation with my regular gaming buddy- He chose to shoot Caddius' squad, instead of at the 2 captains, 10 vanguard veterans, shrike, korvydae and my chapter master (a unit over 1,600 points)
Yes it was apoc.
He survived, and went on to kill the Tactical squad and meet mrs. Caddius. Automatically Appended Next Post: ToxicsLayer wrote:Fiend wrote:How many times has Caddius been felled?

Again, lucky rolls. His squad was on a suicide mission to place a teleport homer for my 10 th/ ss termies to drop in on and meltabomb a bastion filled with rangers (the squad he killed). The avatar assaulted, and died. Caddius went on to bomb the bastion, assault the rangers, kill them and then the termies arrivd to finish them off.

In 2nd ed, I killed a TH/SS terminator with a single Eldar Guardian wielding a laspistol. In CC. I immediately promoted him to an exarch.
Not a CC absurdity, but in a recent game I had a squad of firedragons exchanging fire at point-blank range with a pack of ML long fangs. For 4 turns. 6 models died. Total.
