My most epic win was when my Leman Russ Punisher with side sponson plasma cannons (and a lascannon at the front) took out my freind's Hive Tyrant + 3 Tyrant Guard in one sweep. I was like and he was like

Hmmm, Most epic thing?
It's either that time with the two Filipino girls, or the time I was a helicopter door gunner....

Gaming wise, it's back in 2nd ed when a Gretchin killed a Space Marine Captain (wearing Terminator armour) in close combat.

Had my Chimera with a blown off turret ram a defiler, and blow it to hell, it was one of those desperation moves. the look on my buddies face was priceless.

Squad of four jet bike guardians, charged by a keeper of secrets. He takes out three of them before they can swing, only to have the last one kill him. Super guardian take down the keeper of secrets alone, doesn't break, and holds the objective.

The Space Marine deserved it; he cheated and fired three shots.

And he cheated by killing a Nob with one shot from a bolt pistol

3rd edition Canoness survived 16 Lascannon shots courtesy of a 2+ invul save. Proceeded to tear through a Leman Russ squadron and kill a Lord Comissar before succumbing to massed Lasgun fire.

Edit: Also managed to make a perfect deep strike with a JP Canoness /w Inferno Pistol. Landed 2" from a Basilisk and made explode on turn 2.

For all of those awesome things happening I've lost more Seraphim squads than I care to count DSing like a nub.

*gentlemanly clap*

After watching my Space Wolves being blasted straight down to Morkai's gate by a Imperial Guard barrage. Turn two rolls around. My wolf scouts hop on. And take out on of the Leman Russes raining down death on my Wolves. While my Scouts took the brunt of the attack, with only two casualties. Them and what was left of my Grey Hunter packs turned this entire fiasco around. Eventually -tableing- the enemy.

I've had a gun drone beat a space marine in melee combat, 1v1.

Took out 2 termies with a squad of FW...lost 0 models.

I was feeling [Mod Edit - Please find a different way to express yourself. Thanks!], so I took as many sniper drone teams as I was aloud (9 teams in total) and completely decimated all the Grey Knight on the entire table, tableing them by turn 3.

I stumbled on the Cthulhu Genestealers with my Bladestorm crisis Suits and my 100 point Shas'el, My Suits won due to a slew of sixes on my side and a slew of twos on my friend's side.

After that had happened, I only said one thing: "I play hide and Seek for keeps."

Not in the 3rd edition Codex, happened in about 2003.

Had a Shas'O with a shield generator hold out against a one armed Dreadnought for 3 turns. All the hits either missed or were blocked by the shield.

I have:
had a guardsmen sergeant kill the Fateweaver in CC.

Killed Lylth in combat without taking a single wound.

Killed Kharn in CC with my chapter masters powerfist.

had an 18" flat out Razorback ram a basilisk, blowing the basilisk up and immobilizing itself.

Hammerhead ram vs. Baneblade, Hammerhead won, chain reaction, bb destroyed.

My first game of 40k ever. I had a 5 Man Assault Marine Squad charge into a mob of 20 orks. My Assault Marines proceed to lower them below 11 Orks before they strike back. I don't recall if I lost any Assault Marines, but the orks lost combat failed their moral and fell back. I sweeping advanced them completely destroying the rest of the mob. Pretty epic when its only your first game.

Another time I had a squad of Assault Marines charge into a full squad of Wyches. I don't remember if I had lost any Assault Marines at that point or if he had lost any wyches but when he rolled his 4+ saves in CC he failed them. All of them. I have never seen so many 1's, 2's, and 3's.

Mines pretty far up there in the epic category. I preceded to have a Bloodthirster singlehandedly take on a 1500pts eldar army and almost win. The rest of my army made a huge kp deffecit but heres the kicker, the mighty bloodthirster never died and ended up making something like 40+ saves, half of them being his inv.. (The rest of the army litterally mishapped into annihalation).

A few years ago, a couple friends and I didn't really go to a FLGS so we just did doubles games. My guardsmen were forming a gunline for my buddies space wolves. I had a huge blob of 40 guardsmen inside of a big ruin. Our opponent deepstrikes a Daemon Prince in behind me but can't assault. I turn around the next turn and order FRFSRS with all 40 guardsmens.



Not the most epic thing but most certainly my most memorable moment.

I once got a good 30 second look down my sixth grade teachers blouse.

At the time I thought it was pretty epic.

It died.

The Emperor protects!!!

I hade a single DE Arcon with an agoniser take down 3 Wraitlords and made all of his shadow field saves.

My favourite is a khorne lord with daemon weapon getting charged by 12ish kroot, daemon weapon says double 6 and lordie says bye bye kroot.

Otherwise there isn't much since i tend to play by the numbers so epicness tends not to happen, had 400 points of princes wipe out about 1500 points of dreads + others in drop pod army between them even now I don't know how I did that.

Had a minimal squad of flamers of tzeentch go through half of an apocalyptic green tide on their own.

Probably a toss up between two different time.

1) After winning a round a combat, the lone survivor of my Vanguard Squad ran down 30 or so fleeing tyranids.

2) When my 10 man scout squad was attacked by Abaddon at the top of turn 2. With my buddy rolling the worst rolls I've ever seen, the scouts tied up abbadon until turn 5.

I remembered the story of a Kroot killing 2terminators.

In a space hulk type match, 5 Terminators w/ an Assault Cannon fire on and kill 8/10 of the kindred. The two survivors charged the Terminators and lost the other Kroot in one turn of combat. The next assault phase, the lone survivor kills 2 terminators before going down.

In 5th edition... my last game, batrep here, where 285 points of marine scouts and scout bikes took out 1060 points worth of guard including 3 Russes, a sentinel and several units). The scout bikes were just amazing. It's epic because it will probably never happen again... but it was glorious to see, if only once.
