Exactly what's in the title. Just curious for some laughs. I think my worst was 5 ones for gets hot, and then failing all of the armour saves (they were marines). My best is probably making all my 3+ invulns with some hammernators against a Dante deathstar. Tough game that one.

Best:

A unit of Battle Sisters is charged by a Flyrant with 1 wound remaining. The Ministorium Priest decides he is having none of it and cocks his laspistol. 6 to hit. 6 to wound. 3+ save failed. 5+ Feel No Pain failed. No more Flyrant.

My best roll was probably a time when I had a Deathwing terminator, alone, in combat with three CSM termies. He took 3 wounds from power fists and managed to save all of them with only his 5++. I might have better ones but that one is the only specific case that comes to mind.

My worst roll was probably the time that my combat-squadded Devastators were shooting at a Wraithknight. 2 Gravcannons sitting still, so 10 shots, at a Space Marine's BS4. I only got 2 hits. Out of 10 dice, I think I rolled five 1's and three 2's. Granted, the two that did hit caused wounds that my opponent did not save with FnP, but still, that roll just sucked!

My best roll happened today. Scourge squad fired at by hurricane bolters. failed 6 saves, passed all 6 FNP

My worst was playing my Dark Angels. Solo Librarian with no damage taken charges a single firewarrior thats already falling back. Firewarrior passes morale check to fire, rolls two 6's to hit, wounds, then I fail both armor saves.
The best part of this is when I declared the charge I said that was going to happen jokingly, then it did

My Worst was losing my irons hands smash fether to a snap shot from the one fleeing termagaunt, most embarrassing day ever for him

Best would be callidus assassin dropping an imperial knight.... into another imperial knight. All 6 attacks (on her charge) hit, all 6s to rend which equals 6 glancing/penetrating hits. Knight goes down backwards into the second knight which takes 3 hull points from the D blast.

Worst: can't remember anything specific, but probably something like failing four out of five 2+ saves (I do remember something like that happening).

Best: in a game of Epic 40K, my Eldar opponent fired everything he had at my Imperator Titan. Managed to take down all 12 void shield, but no damage. At the end of my turn, I roll 12 dice to regenerate the shields, and 11 of them come up.

Recently, best was a squad of breachers that were assaulted by a Swarmlord and made all of their invulnerable saves against its attacks. Worst in the same game was my next turn, when I rolled a 1 for 'one eye open' for my mark'o and all my markerlights when I brought my Culexus in to counterattack the TMC.

1500 points, NSF, 5 Termie squads, 2 Dreads, 1 Libby.

3 Termie squads mishap and are obliterated.
4th squad with libby perils, rolls 1, squad is decimated only justicar left.

800 points gone T1 opponent hasn't made a move yet. He has Slay Warlord, First Blood.

Worst roll I've seen was an opponent that a shot from a demolisher cannon scored 7 hits on a bike squad of mine that had unfortunately clumped together, he rolls 5 1s to wound, I make the other two saves with my jink (before it was rerollable). Charge next turn and destroy it.

Worst roll I've personally had was killing 3 of my black knights to gets hot in a single turn. To be fair it was a squad of 6 and they were all in rapid.

Best rolling I've made was just a few weeks ago, a squad of bullgryn and priest charged a 6 man and Belial terminator squad. Bone 'ead challenges Belial... all attacks hit (five), all attacks wound, Belial fails 3 saves and dies. That's a 70 point model killing a 190 point model.

I think the squad ended up killing 4 of the terminators before it died.

Best: 8 save throws on guards, all succeded. Everyone in the store stopped and stared. -not actually mine. I was at the next table. The Emperor protects.

Worst: My 6 man Death company squad charged into 20 guard conscripts. No concsripts died. The concsripts then retaliated and beat 4 marines to death whilst the other two failed their saving throws and fnp from being outnumbered.

Best:
Passing 8 5+ invuls against a Storm Lord with my warlord company commander. He now brings a shield with him to every battle in commemoration.

2nd best:
Charging a single ironclad dreadnought into close combat with a mostly intact nurgle reaver titan, 6 hits, 5 pen, 3 explodes - dreadnought survives the 20 inch D explosion which wipes out about 2000 pts of termies, command squad, marines etc. I'm still working on the banner to commemorate this.

Worst:
Losing 8 out of 10 terminators to a single volley of lootas.

Worst i've seen:
8 1s to hit with plasma guns out of 10 shots.

Worst: Some months ago, I couldn`t even strip a single HP from a Stormeagle. Not even with the stupid Aegis-gun.

Best: The Archmagos Myrmidax in a squad of Thallax, that killed
some year ago a C`Tan with 9 plasmashots. It took some Deathmarks and warriors with it to the grave. I`ve never seen so many 6s and 1s...

Talos and Cronos in Dark Artisan against Imperial Knight.

Two Smash Attacks.
Two Hits.
Two pens (fives to pen, no need to re-roll).
Two Explodes! Results.
Need 6 on two D3 to blow him up...roll five and six.
Explosion scatters on to my whole Artisan into D zone. Opponent rolls triple one and Dark Artisan lives.

My best and worst may actually be from the same game.

Using the previous Dark Angels and Dark Eldar codices under 6th edition, I was playing a DA force against my opponent's Dark Eldar. One squad of Deathwing Terminators led by Belial got charged by a unit of Hellions pumping out around 30 attacks, so I didn't expect to come out unscathed, but after some stellar rolling I had 20 Wounds to roll saves for. Managed to fail every single one despite that incredibly expensive 2+ save, so that's probably the worst. I wouldn't have minded losing the unit if I'd rolled some 2+ results, but all 1's still hurts to this day.

Fortunately Belial was in a challenge so didn't die, next round of combat he won the challenge, opponent rolled horribly and fled. Belial (still with full Wounds) joins another Deathwing squad, gets charged by Wyches from a Webway portal, challenges the leader, can't hit her with a single attack (let alone wound), gets a Wound in return for his trouble (by this point I can only assume 2+ saves have been broken due to the laws of statistics being somehow re-written by our game). Hellions come back with a vengeance and drag him from the combat, he kills a full four of them for their trouble and scares them off the table. Unfortunately he's now in the sights of a unit of Scourges, three turns of anti-tank fire later he's unharmed thanks to his Iron Halo making up for his defective armour and manages to get off a lucky charge at 11", wipes them out.

So although I rolled abysmally to lose that first squad, and in the challenge with the Wych (somehow losing a Wound), Belial then proceeded to be an unstoppable killing machine, at least in close combat (I didn't hit a single target all game with his BS5 Storm Bolter). It's probably not the most significant good roll I've had, but from a narrative perspective it was awesome to see him lose his squad, be embarrassed by a Wych champion then dragged from another unit, only for this to finally get his blood up and turn him into a vengeful monster

Worst- 10 dice to hit I rolled 8 1's

Best- was getting pounded in 5th by guard. I was in a unit of Russ's front arc, rolled 4 bright lance shots, 3 hit, all penetrated, triple 6's on the pen table for 3 dead Russ's. completely turned the game around

Worst - Game hangs on me killing my opponents warlord, a Chaos Sorceror with 1 wound left. My full 10man tactical squad in rapid fire range only hits with 4 bolter shots. These 4 bolter shots then do not wound...

Best - 5 man termies deep strike in front of a tau gunline. They get 80 shots thrown at them. I have to save 20. Do not fail one save.

Best would probably be with my sisters vs the new dark angels. I had 5 dominions vs like 6-7 black nights and the character who gets his super bike..sammael?
I had a unit of basic sisters and an excorcist nearby who helped but still. The dominions got charged twice and somehow still survived by virtue of running from combat without getting sweeped and I managed to kill them over three turns. 6++ OP! And the dominions had the lions share of kills on them too.

Worst might be sorcerer with termie bodyguards vs orks. They deployed on foot, some basic orks took some pot shots at them. I had to make a single 2+ save...failed. Then I had to test for morale since it was a small unit...failed. 12 inch fallback off the table. They didn't do squat. That game jsut went bad overall though. It was a team game that we still ended up winning I think, but I lost everything by turn 2 except for some basic marines that were camping on an objective.

Best I've done? A squad of Penal Legionnaire guardsmen take two wounds off a destroyer lord with overwatch, slap his last wound off in combat and then calmly consolidate out to stop him getting back up.

Best I've seen? Two lucky scatter rolls and multiple 5's and 6's result in a shadowsword one-shotting an Adamantium Lance. As in, all three knights.

Template scattered, hitting front and back-left. Front took a deathblow hit, blew up, and scattered onto back-right. The hit a second deathblow, killing it. This deprived back-left of any other friendly knights within 3"....meaning no Ion shield reroll when it failed, and when it took a penetrating hit which triggered an explodes result it just managed to cause 6HP and blow it to pieces too.

Shadowsword gunner looks across the table at the trio of mushroom clouds and calmly lights a cigar.

The guard and knight player were both rather shocked.

Best: It was more of a series of rolls. I had a single librarian pass his FNP 5+ rolls for two different perils of the warp wounds AND 2 different wounds in assault. These were ALL after he was reduced to a single wound. The cherry on top, he passed a 6+ cover save from an S8 AP3 hit that would have negated his FNP and base armour save. That series of rolls actually won me the game

Worst: Failing three out of three 3+ saves for a full sized (10 men) devastator squad that was in my deployment zone, then failing a 9+ LD check, and rolling 11 for the fall back distance. They were 10 inches away from the board edge, so I lost the entire squad.

Best: Had a game versus DEldar where my Soul Grinders would not die. I made so many 5++ saves against his lances.

Worst: Daemon Prince kitted out charges into two TWC who each have 1 Wound left and a 6+ FNP. Flesh Hounds have them tied up. DP causes only three wounds, he passes all FNPs. I then fail my Leadership and get sucked into the warp at full health. TWC overrun my dogs and then 20 man unit of Bloodclaws come in and kill my army. This literally cost me the game.

Most recent both in the same game-
best was making 5 out of 6 5+invuns with my seekers (they then died to a punisher but even so).
worst was missing 6 out of 9 from my hatred/raging wrath bloodthirster (though the 3 that got though killed the last of the unit)

My best rolling was a series of rolls over 3 turns with 2 units. I was playing against an eldar hornet and spinner list with my Ork footslogging list with Grukk as my warlord and I had a set of mek guns in cover. The first turn he wipes out my tankbustas, my 2 units of lootas, a set of grots from a scatter, and one of my 2 sets of 20 boyz run from damage. Afterwards out of 3 turns of half of his hornets and nightspinners shooting my mek guns I only lose 3 grots and a gun, making almost every single over save from their str 9 blasts and str 8 shots, and the other half were shot at Grukk and his troops who after all but him and a Nob died the second turn made every single 5+ FNP and proceded to wipe out every vehicle, and the Boyz that ran regrouped and we're able to charge the other ones shooting the guns allowing a tie at the end of the game with him having a single damaged hornet left.

My worst was me deep striking with Grukk's formation and all mishap and I roll 1 for each. Then the next turn when another set of boyz who got deeps trike come in they mishap, get put back in reserves and mishap again to roll a 1... I have since stopped any ork deepstrike.

Best was a 6

Worst was a 1

Okay, here's the best and worst I've had my opponents roll against me:

Best: I was playing Khorne Daemonkin with Be'lakor allied in. My opponent was running a Daemon Flying Circus with Fateweaver, 3 Slaanesh DPs and a Nurgle DP from Black Legion with that relic that gives him the nova power. He gets first turn, has all of his princes take off, then starts casting psychic powers. He casts Shriek on Be'lakor. I fail to deny it. He then hits and rolls a 17 on 3d6. Be'lakor fails too many invulnerable saves and dies. He casts another Shriek on my D-thirster. Again I fail to deny. Hits and rolls 18, killing the D-thirster. In just 2 psychic powers he killed a third of my army, points wise. That was some good rolling on his part.

Worst: In a tournament a couple of months ago, I was playing Tau in a CAD with a Riptide Wing (using some borrowed Riptides). My opponent was running a tooled-up Decurion, with 2 Canoptek Harvest formations and a big nasty deathstar unit with some Overlords, a couple of named characters, and a bunch of Lychguard. He uses whatever relic thingy lets him teleport by Deep Strike. Tries to land behind my Riptides. Rolls an 11 for scatter and ends up off the board. Rolls a 1 on the Mishap table and the whole nasty unit just dies. My opponent immediately concedes the game. On the bottom of turn 1.

Best: I had a 10 man assault squad running up the left side of the board against IG. There was a sentinel squad and couple guardsmen platoons, and possibly some blast templates from elsewhere, shooting at the squad. In the two turns it took me to get close enough to assault I made every single save.

Worst: Upon assaulting with aforementioned squad, the squad was almost wiped out by the first squad it assaulted, and finished off just after coming out of that assault.

My best: 2 morale saves, 1 squad of guardsmen against harlequins. Needed 4 or less, first one: 2 and 2. Second one, 1 and 3. I also managed to kill all the regular harlequin troops in combat, and even though I got wiped eventually they took a sabotaged objective, it blew up and killed ANOTHER harlequin.

Worst i've witnessed: playing against a khorne knight, fired everything I had at it. The guy proceeded to roll 3 ones for his invulns, he was rolling them ALL game and next week I saw him with new dice. The other invuluns were mostly fails, and he was glanced to death by a group of Necrons that I was allied with due to Gauss.

rolled a 5 for loota shots, so 45 shots, on a rhino... no glances or pens.

also wiped myself top of turn 1 in 5th edition with a list of 45 lootas, 2 big meks with sag and some Gretchen in a small game... sag both roll snake eyes turn 1 take out enough lootas to force leaderships on everything (meks attached to Gretchen) all leaderships fail, everything runs off the table turn 1 before my opponent even gets to roll a dice (beyond to seize initiative)

Best and worst are both involving Domitar robots:

Worst:
I'm playing a 750pt game against Tau.
Using 2 Domitar with a Magos, along with 5-man Rust stalkers, so don't really want to lose anything, lest I suffer greatly.

Decide to have fun with a bit of Cyberthurgy.
My Magos has the Cortica Primus, so both robots get affected.
Have to roll 9 or lower for it to pass...
2 6's.
Great, now for the Mishap table.
6.
(Means the two robots go rogue)
Oh sacred feth....

Come next turn, my Magos really needs to get the heck away from the two bowling balls, just 2" either side of him, whilst avoiding line of sight of the Stormsurge, which means I need to go through difficult terrain.

Move 4",
Domitar move 4". Still 2" away.
Roll to run...
2.
I go nowhere.
Domitar shoot me with the Ignis missiles, but luckily both miss, however...
They get to charge me, and they have super nasty D3 Hammer of Wrath.

Now, if I was doing this to an enemy, it'd absolutely fantastic; highest rolls possible.
Never mind.

-------------------------------
Best:
Two Domitar and Magos again, about turn 4, and unfortunately they're my only guys left against 680pts of Spehs Merheens.

Approaching some trenches so I can get into cover, and also to get the smurfs off the objective in there.
Manage to walk up to 3" from the trench.

In this trench is a fairly normal 8-man marine squad, but with a scary sergeant. Could go horribly wrong in close combat, or not.

Roll to charge, -2" for going into a trench...
11. Great.
Blunder in, marines try overwatch, miss all their shots.
D3 roll for Hammer of Wrath.
5.
6 glorious S7 HoW hits, and they all go through.
3 marines left for ensuing CC, including the Sarge.
Sarge ends up surviving, and during my opponents turn, he does a handbrake turn with a Rhino (very flambuoyant like), and unloads his Chapter Master into the trench.

Anyway, manage to clean up the next round of Marines, bar the master and two goons, and successfully pass all my cover saves etc. (Bless you, trench).

The 3 marines end up fleeing the fight, and I need Slay the Warlord to catch up in points, however, I also really need to stay in cover.

Try the two Ignis missile launchers and Laspistol, manage to kill two of the marines, but the Master lives on 1 hp.

Grand tactical conundrum:
(Can't quite remember the circumstance, but)
Sweeping advance, kill him, then really hope I can roll a high enough Consolidation to make it back to the trench
(looking at high rolls here)
Or sit tight and survive another round in cover.

After 10 minutes brain-wracking with fellow patrons, I go for the charge.
6.
6.
6x3 + 5x3
Pretty much overkill, but he still manages 4 saves out of 6.
Now to consolidate....
I'm 4 inches out, -2" for running back in the trench.
This is where I need a 6 the most.

Roll once, goes off the table.
Roll twice, lands skew-iff on its side.
Roll thrice, gets lost in a Twisted copse...
Tense moment; everyone looms in. (7 spectators by this point).

Raucous cheering, and a devastated opponent.

(Carried on for two more turns, get really unlucky with objective cards, lose 7:15)
Just a shame my first two turns went as wrong as possible; my list relied on getting into CC as quick asap.

I've, had 2 rescently that have gone well,
1) grav chute insertion a squad of melta vets right next to a land raider, 3 6's to hit on Meltas, 3 penetrating hits with an explodes result. Explodes roll was a 1, so no one died in the explosion.

The second was I had a company commander survive everything a second imperial guard army had to throw at it for 2 whole turns using only his 5+ invul. It was hilarious.


As for worst rolls, there are too many to narrow it down but probably grav chuting a company command squad into cover, scattering, and then failing the dangerous terrain test on my commander.

Worst roll, I had 2 meganobs with 3 wounds left between them. They were going to charge and take down a DA land speeder. They got shot, and wounded 4 times. I rolled three 1's out of four, and they both died.

Second worst, I had 10 lootas firing on a wall of scarabs I needed to clear so my boyz upfield could charge the warriors behind. I rolled a 6 to get 30 shots total. Now, ork shooting is bad, but out of 30 shots, 3 hit, and of those, 2 wounded. Good.

Best roll, definitely, was with my grots. They were being tank shocked by a rhino with 1 wound left in an attempt to push me off a point I owned. I roll leadership and succeed, keeping me on the point. However, the rhino is alive and also has ObSec, so I need to kill it. The runtherd in the squad is the only one who can kill it. He charges, hits twice, and gets that last glance I need to kill the rhino and take the objective. That runtherd is now known as Bellowgob da Tankherda.
