I have no idea about that. I was halfway through playing the other FLGP (friendly local guard player) and my mate came over and said "Ian just beat Abaddon in close combat with a guardsman" and walks off back to his game. I was kinda shocked but I remember having a good belly laugh after though

I know it's hardly a massive deal and hardly game changing, but it's so annoying when you roll your dice for your tactical squad, get 8 hits with your bolt pistols, but miss with the bloody lascannon and melta gun!

All my 9 beserkers and Huron lost combat to Tau fire warriors. Rolling 1s and 2s to hit. Failing their armour saves and fleeing like cowards to be overran and killed.

Forgive me for asking, but why are you taking BPs with heavy weapons?

TBH we were lucky.Twice in two weeks. Was it the Tourney battle? KP's and secret objective. Ours was kill the enemy commander 2 pts in CC, 1 pt from shooting. That extra point was the difference between 2nd and 4th so it was even more jammy.

I dunno...
I think it was the weekend before the tourney, because everyone was clamouring to fight him (he had only just turned up after booking, IIRC)
But yeah, if it was the tourney then that has just cheesily jammy (if that makes any sense whatsoever)

Cant remember any of my own specific mishaps, but I got smashed once by a fellow whose rolls were as good as mine were terrible that game.

He needed to make 15 5+ saves & made 14 of them.

My story arises from back when I played Tau. 1500 point list against a footslogger marine army. Usual suspects on my side, handful of Broadsides, Crisis teams, couple of fish with firewarriors inside, ionhead. Turn 1 maneuver into position, drop my guys out and fire.

I failed to hit or wound with every single shot across my entire 1500 point army for two solid turns. My opponent didn't even need to make an armor save.

This incident was when I swore off BS 3 models entirely and went back to my Space Wolves...

I can not for the oddest reason use melta weapon. Every game without any margin of error my melta weapons miss or on the extremely rare case they do hit, they fail to wound or penetrate. Again, in the extremely rare case it does penetrate, I'll roll a one on the damage chart. It's the strangest thing and has become a joking matter with my regular opponents. It's so exact and repeatable that you could bet on it and win every time.

I have a similar issue. My heavy destroyers can never hit anything with thier S9 guns (and penetrate) but my normal destroyers can all hit with thier S5 guns and glance everything to hell and back

Demo charge suicide squad killed itself and the valkyrie.... failed to even touch anything on the opponent side....

Best scatter roll EVER

Sorry, I meant to say bolters...

This made my day...

Anyway...

spore pod dropped next to my 5 csm's on objective, shot it's str 6 bs 2 (i think its 6) shot gun.....

killed all 5 csm (all that was their 4 or 5) lost the objective game was a draw =P

I had to rename my Warboss "Warboss Derpy" after my last game with him.

He and a squad of Kommandos charge in off the back table edge to take out my opponent's only troops (it was an objective game, so doing this ultimately won it for me). Well, after I cracked open the transports, I had to punch out 10 marines - nothing too difficult, right?

Kommandos just kind of fall over and die without killing too much (to be fair they're best on the charge, and they had to spend their charge punching open Razorbacks) so it's left with the Warboss against like 7 assault marines, no fists or power weapons to worry about. I'm thinking "Alright! Just kill these squads in a turn, and I'll be set."

Round 1: 5 attacks, 2 hits, 2 wounds.
Round 2: 5 attacks, 1 hit, 1 wound.
Round 3: 5 attacks, 4 hits, 1 wound (on a freaking power klaw).

The pattern continued until the end of the game. He was making armor saves like a champ, but he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with that klaw, even hitting on a 3+ and wounding on a 2+. He wound up attritioning the assault marines down, but it was just silly.

My dice pick one thing to be good at and one thing to totally suck at per game.

I'll make 5+ saves like they were 3+ but hit on 3+ like it was 6+. I'll make 2 to 3 LD5 checks in a row, but know that I'm not killing anything for the next two turns.

Daemon Prince charged Ghazkill Thraka, this is just after Warptime was nerffed so I took wings + MoK... 6 Attacks on the charge, hitting on 3's, wounding on 2's.

I missed every to hit roll... Ghazkill had just lost his 2+ invunerable save that turn and had 1 wound left :(

Tonight I managed to miss 11 consecutive armor saves on my Space Wolves...nuff said.

"I think I have bipolar dice because I tend to roll gloriously and heinously in equal amounts. "

I feel the same way, I either do glorious or fail miserably.

Example, turn 2 a Khorne demon weapon lord with 10 CSM rolls double 6's as he charged a 7 man terminator squad plus librarian. I can't quite remember but thats like 5 on the charge plus 12 attacks for the double 6's on the daemon weapon. 17 Attacks, i hit with 16, wounded with 14, and my opponent failed enough invunerable saved that the lord whiped him off the table before he could even swing back.

Like a boss!

Another example, Plague Lord needs and Khorne attack a squad of Nobz, Lord rolls a 1... i lost combat terribly The only thing left after this huge assault was my dreadnaught which had no arms, and was just a stubby wreck the next turn.

My worst is when I had 7 twin linked lascannon razorbacks all failed to hits(with re-rolls) or penetration for three turns in a row.

I have a new story...I was playing a battle box game vs Khador, and my Crusader, fully loaded on focus, walked up to the Def 10 Juggernaut...and rolled snake eyes. Ok, well, I guess I'll hit with my open fist, then. Snake eyes...again...hmm...that's annoying...so I bought another attack...threw the first two dice to the side...and rolled snake eyes with the NEW dice.

Long story short, I did 4 dmg to a juggernaut with full focus from the strongest non-character warjack in Menoth...lame...what are the odds?
