A single Ravager taking out four Razorbacks before getting blown up by a bolt pistol

Destroyed two Leman Russes with a single Manticore shot (they were not squadron'ed).

Seeing an Ork trukk full of Nobs as Troops burning towards a winning objective after a long bloody fight... single sniper round blew that thing sky high.

Mine would be when one squad of ten Necron warriors survived 3 rounds of shooting from humaguants -or however you spell that- totaling in 100+ made armor and WBB saves, there was one 'cron that refused to die -this was a 500pnt game and I was using the old 'cron dex..-

2nd Edition. My land speeder gets shot down. For the kiddies, in 2nd Edition, vehicles had specific crews that could survive the destruction of their vehicles in some circumstances and would then become their own infantry units. Typically this was largely irrelevant, but for Space Marines, this suddenly meant a new T4, 3+ Save Space Marine with a bolt pistol on the board.

Surviving the fiery crash by jumping free, this battle brother is all alone and surrounded by the filthy Eldar scum. Undaunted, he runs to take cover from the Eldar Guardians menacing him with their shuriken catapults, back when those were a scary prospect to a Space Marine. Even worse, the battle brother is perilously close to an objective. Steeling himself against the Eldar's ten inch charge range, wondering how they could move that fast, our heroic brother readies his bolt pistol in one hand, and his combat knife in the other. Through two grueling rounds of close combat, the Guardians refuse to break, and our hero refuses to die as he whittles down his waify, pointed eared foes, thus leaving the objective uncaptured.

From that day forward, my land speeder crew members were outfitted with chainswords just in case one day again they might be called upon to bring death to the enemies of the Emperor from the ground. I also converted one of the old two piece Sergeant models from the 2nd edition boxed set to have his right arm raised in a rather untoward gesture. Sadly he has disappeared over the many intervening years. But I still like to think he is out there, somewhere, chainsword a-whirring, grumbling about how the rules of subsequent editions had robbed him of further glory.

Can't believe how hard it was to find a picture of that model, lol. Ahh the good old days of plastics.

Perhaps the second was watching the face of a kid we called "Cheesy" when his Abaddon was pinned down by a small group of Termagants with stranglewebs for almost an entire game.

A large apocalypse game with 5k+ points on both sides.
In the middle of the board was a small hill were a Champion of the Emperor met a Daemon Prince in combat. A huge battle was raging all around them while they were in close combat. Every template scattered off them, it was a battle for the ages. All the players agreed the winner of the cc would win the match, and after a few rounds of of cc, the emperor's champion came out on top barely. Twas' glorious.

I have two. 1st was back in 2nd or 3rd when imperial guard still have paliminary barrages. I kept my guard back and tabled a 1500 pt tyranid army and only lost 2 guardsmen. End of the game I had a carnifex thrown at me... When they were pewter and it hurt. Second was a couple months ago when 3 scout sentianls out flanked on the wrong board edge so I unloaded 3 multilasers into a 5 man terminator sq. I think I made 7 wounds and the guy rolled a yatzee. 5 ones and poof 105 pts of sentinals and a couple hundred pt teminiator squad died

The greatest battle moment?

When El'Valyth'Shirada, or Commander Dark Spear disarmed Chapter Master Edwin Kuutor of the Spectral Tigers of his prized Assault Cannon 'Maul', a Chapter Relic no less, and is currently integrating the behemoth weapon into his suit.

Basically it was the climactic point on a store Campaign where I earned the highest achievement possible; slaying the opposing forces supreme commander. The prize was one of the two 'special' weapons adorned on the Character. When the Character loses both his weapons, his army was out of the campaign. And the maximum 'special weapons' a character could carry was three.

By the end, I had an assault cannon that was heavy 6, a Kustom Mega-Blaster that causes instant death, and a pretty ornate shield that gave him Eternal Warrior.

I have not been playing this game long. However my brother and I were playing a game,(I'm Orks, He's Chaos Space Marines.) he always annoyed me when he brought out his Daemon Prince because he kept killing my Warboss or blows up my battlewagons.. But this time, it was different.

The Daemon Prince scattered his deep strike right in front of my wagon with 20 boyz inside. When his turn was over my boyz all come out and killed the bastard. Needless to say my brother was pissed and I sadistically enjoyed his rage.

Killing a carnifex and 3 genestealers with a castellan (chainsword, bolt pistol, artificer amour, Iron halo and terminator honours).

1.) A squad fo 12 ork boys open fire at a squad of 10 terminators. Kill three and the squad breaks.

2.) My squad of 5 plaguebearers is charged by a herald of Khorne on a Juggernaught. The plaguebearers kill the herald afer 2 rounds of combat.

3.) Using a deffrolla on my opponent's last model ( a hive tyrant) to have him death or glory; both models kill each other.

4.) Having a single deffkopta survive 4 rounds of fire from potential instant death because he was all about the cover saves.

Driving OVER my own wrecked Rhino with my second Rhino (ending up with intact Rhino sitting on top of upside-down wrecked Rhino), passing its difficult/dangerous terrain test, and tank-shocking the Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun that had fired itself at the first Rhino the turn it got wrecked. Said Big Mek then rolled double-six for his leadership and ran off the board.

That one kill point from my heroic Rhino's last-ditch effort tied me the kill-point game... where my Land Raider exploded and my Vindicator's gun got shot off on the very first turn, before either of them could do anything. XD Emperor's balls, but that was a messy, entertaining fight. Bloody Orks.

When my Vendetta made it through the game without getting shot down!!

When my opponent was gloating how his 10 man terminator squad would wipe out my crusader squad. So he decides to shoot at them. And kills a couple. I make my rightoues zeal test, I pass and run out of assualt range. This meant I could run onto aan unheld objective(it was capture and control) and win the game.
Thank god for rites of battle

When a normal dred deepstriked next to a stomp a that was on a rampage and untouched then blew it up with a single shot from its multi melt a.

1200 point game, my footslogging iG vs Dark Eldar.

I lost one Guardsman.

Tabled the dark Eldar.

The Hydra is now my best friend. It was also a battle in which I learned that the punisher isn't entirely useless. A standard russ is far better, but a Punisher is great simply because you can say "11 hits, wounding on a 2+." The looks you get from some opponents is priceless

When my IG troops were able to shrug off some shots! (Granted they were Ogryns, but still)

The other day I was playing against my friends hated Blood Angels Storm Raven.It was carrying a Furioso Dread and a Librarian and terminators. We were playing capture and control. I had a razorback with some grey hunters in it cruising up the side of the board on the opposite side of where my main force was. I was hoping to draw fire on it and sacrifice it.
Lo and behold it worked. Storm Raven moved 24" and wrecked it. I always run my Grey Hunters with Plasma Pistols and Melta Guns. I shot at the Storm Raven with the melta gun and plasma pistol. Rolled a 1 with the melta and a 6 with the plasma pistol. Ok sweet at least I hit with the plasma pistol I thought. Ok so i need a 5 or a 6 to do anything. BOOM a 6 for a pen. Cover save? NOPE he rolled a 2. This was the slower dice roll ever. It spun on a corner FOREVER! and it lands on a six MUHAHAHAHAHAH in your face!!!! He was pissed as you could imagine. The rest on the game I had my vindicator wiping out his HQ and termies. His furioso fell victim to me twin linked lascannon and side lascannon predator the same turn. He was quite up set that game. But he usually runs two Storm Ravens and two furiosos (unlike this time). Termies or Death company in one of Mephiston in the other. I feel no pity for him.

When my BA Furioso dread Blasted 5 termies in the face with his frag cannon and my opponent rolled all ones which was then lead by my Furioso libi Exploding a land raider its just gets worse for my opponent after that lol

My one space marine with a rocket launcher surviving 10 consecutive attacks by 2 land raider redeemers.

My one scout sargeant surviving shooting and cc from a 20 man gaurdian squad (and yes he killed a few before he finally died lol)

when my Archon wich i named Abhus Rekinarth (Hence my name on here)
was fighting a Dark Angel Space Marine Commander(or whatever it is called)
with a roll of 4 sixes (in my opinion tearing him open with his sword(forgot the name of the sword))

BT Marshal annihilating 30 Necron warriors,3 destroyers and a deathmark before biting the dust

Battle Brother Nexis (Librarian with Terminator Armor and Storm Shield) Fighting a Power fist equipped Sky claw, a Lone with with Frost blade and Storm Shield, and a Wolf Lord on a Thunderwolf, with Frost blade and Storm Shield.

He was by himself, locked endlessly in combat with the three of them until the game ended! He tried to kill that wolf lord, but could not get one wound past the Storm Shield. Luckily neither could any of the opponents.

It was a multi combat but that was all that was left after turn 3, and it was still going at the bottom of turn 5 when the game ended.

This happened to me in a 3 man free for all match against Space Marines and tyranids, the Space Marines put scouts in reserve, turn 3 I march my IG forward with Leman Russ' giving fail support alongside some Manticores that are actually killing stuff, anyhow the scouts arrive, and kill 2 hellhounds, 3 leman russ', and 2 manticores. Then the nid player runs some genestealers up and slaughter my guardsmen, I was livid, but I know that Space marine player was having a hoot

My friend asked.me to post this. He ays IG designed to be PDF. They ended a game with 6, yes, 6! Men remaining.

My unit of three Obliterators scored a hit on their deep strike dice. They proceeded to shoot apart a Hammerhead and a Devilfish with the multimeltas, Powerfisted a Fire Warrior squad to death, and flamered a kroot squad into nothingness. I think they passed something in the region of 25 armour saves before any of them lost a single wound. Even plasma fire couldn't touch them, they passed all of their invulns.

However, this was the same game that my Daemon Prince lost 3 of his 4 wounds in one round of shooting from Ork sluggas. He rolled three 2's on his armour saves. He them proceeded to Lash another Fire Warrior squad off the top of a building, and half of them died from the fall.

In another game, my Lightning Claw BT Marshal and command squad was charged by Genestealers. It was bloody and brutal, and the Marshal got knocked down to 1 wound after around 3 rounds of combat. It looks like he was going to lose combat, then he proceeded to wipe out the remaining 5 Genestealers BY HIMSELF, passing all of his saves, as if he simply refused to be beaten by these nameless, unpainted abominations. He survived the game, as did the Apothecary and one other marine in his Command Squad.

Every time my Deathstrike fires (usually turn 4 or 5).

Currently, it was when I wounded a Dredknights with a single boltgun.

I took Bjorn not for the fire power but for its special abilities which unfortunately for me it hardly ever happens.

I was playing against a Vulkan Army. Since it was an objective type of a game I decided to just run that dread right towards the God hammer that carried Vulkan and his Hammernators . Mind you this is directly at the majority of my opponent's army as I am trying to get the Dread killed so it can become another objective counter so I can claim it and try to win or make it more difficult for my opponent to win.

This does not happen. Not only he survived without being taking damage, when the Vulcan and his hammerator squad got into assault, Bjorn killed Vulkan, did not get damaged by the hammerators. They rolled 11 on their leadership for morale and then rolled a 1 on initiative. The Dread caught them in a sweeping advance and 4, 1's were for their armor saves from their ATKNF. Bjorn consolidated and on his turn moved and got into assault on the God hammer, destroying that as well. My opponent (and myself) could not believe that almost 1/3 of his points were gone in 1 1/2 turns.

A Vindicator blew off its TL-LC as it was approaching the tank( and an (Objective counter) and on the next turn assaulted that as well destroying it in the process.

Mind you I was also taking a beating from the dice rolls as well. Example I lost 3, un-squaded land speeders to separate bolter fire attacks in that game.

Bjorn was a freaking beast for me that day because the rest of my army had the curse of rolling a majority of 2's for shooting and 1's for getting my Bolter Backs immobilized. I used the rest of my army to tar pit my opponent models via assault and was able to hold and/or contest objectives. I even had to use my long fangs and get them into assault because on that game they could not hit the broadside of a barn. At least in assault I could hold my own.

So here I was with one damaged dread fighting against my opponents key elements of his army.

I could still lose this game as my opponent was not going down without a fight and it did not help that the rest of my army was firing like Grots either.

Bjorn contested that objective counter for 4 turns (7 turn game) as my opponent threw his last effective squad into the Dread which almost won the game for him as his dice got hot at the right time.


But this was Bjorn Fell Hand and he was not going to be denied!

At it the end of turn 7, though armless, the dread contested the objective and thus winning the game for me. Not the way I planned it and the dice gods were incredibly fickle to the both of us playing

But in the end it came down to one model and that was...

Bjorn Fell Hand
