Multiple ones with powerful weaponry, both in shooting and Close Combat. Y'know, the usual stuff.

I have two.

First: 10 Terminators sitting in the middle of a field surrounded by my friends Eldar he runs a wave serpent full of Fire Dragons up to my Terminators. 10 Meltagun shots, 8 wounds, 7 Terminator saves made. Needless to say he was ready to cry because he knew what was coming next turn. Did I mention his Bright Lances didn't do jack to my terminators in that same turn.

Two: Doubles tournament with my friend playing IG. He took Guardsmen Marbo for a point sink. Marbo comes on the board and throws his demo charge at a unit and totally wiffs, but he survives a few bolter rounds that went his way because of cover. Next turn my friend shoots some Plasma from his Executioner at a squad of 10 Terminators and only manages to kill 2 of them, Marbo then takes a shot with his AP 2 ripper pistol and kills another one forcing a leadership test that the Terminators promptly fail, he was only 1inch away from the terminators and they flee 5 inches. He survives yet another turn of shooting and runs to get even closer to the Terminators. On our opponents next turn the Terminators roll 10" and run off the board. So apparently warriors who have been fighting for several hundred years and have earned the right to wear the most venerated armor in the whole of the Imperium are scared of Guardsmen Marbo who I'm pretty sure isn't even wearing a shirt.

Oh, just remembered, facing a Nurgle-themed CSM in my first tourney and having all my plasma die to "Gets Hot!" the first turn. Still managed to get a draw, due to my LRC surviving three turns against 3 power fists and a chainfist. So many 1's and 2's on damage rolls

At my local GW we had a charcter bash and I had a company commander with a 4+ save, 4+ FNP (medi-pack), 4+ medal and a 4+ invul (guy running it let me have this).
So I got locked in combat with a space marine company champion, he hit first with 4 attacks, pass armour save, fail FNP, fail medal and fail invul thanks to all ones.

apocalypse game back in 4th ed, my ex used her revenant titan to kill one of my reavers, which then proceeded to kill my other two reavers and two warhounds and brought my last warhound down to one structure points.... though my warlord survived

In a game against my brother, he was using space marines, I was using Eldar. 10 Dire Avengers shoot a bladestorm, exarch has twin catapults. 30 shots to hit on +3 all miss and 5 shots to hit on +2 all miss. 35 shots down the toilet.

A HQ-choice bash at my FLGS- I had my chief libby- 1st turn, he fails all 3 psychic powers and fails a 3+inv and get ID'ed by the avatar's wailing doom.
turn 2- respwns and fail PotW 3 times, dies.
turn 3- respwans and kills a tervigon and 7 gaunts it spawned.
turn 4- killed the sanguinor with a Vortex, followed by smite, followed by bashing with might of the ancients.
turn 5- died to some DE character who has D3 clones per turn and regenerates lost wounds (so even if he only has 1 clone you need to inflict 4 wounds to kill outright- I had 3.)
came second out of 7 competitors. the scoreboard was:
DE guy
Me
SW guy (wolf claws and termie armour)

I made the entirety of 3 saves over the course of a 1500pt game playing marines. In total, I inflicted 12 wounds. On guard. My assault squad had three plasma pistols melt in one round of shooting, my libby vortex'd himself to death, and a blob squad glanced my dread to death. It was horrible

i was playing a 1000pt game, my Orks vs my buddies Space Wolves. Ghazzy was tearing them apart i hink he single handedly wiped out like 15 SW's, then he dropped a Grey hunters squad right next to him, tey missed every shot. i thouht ghazzy was gonna get through this whole game witout a scratch. then he casted living lightning, rolled a 6, and i *Bleep* you not. i rolled 6 1's... Ghazzy died, and demoralized, the rest of my orks soon followed

My Skarbrand failed his death of Glory rolls against...

no, not a land raider or a vindicator or anything else high like that...

but a Rhino. A simple Rhino...

That loss there, lost me the whole game ¬¬

I once had 3 units of 10 necrons in h2h and each one lost combat, failed all their leadership 10 rolls and all got overran.

I'ts not my bad luck
but my Friend had 3 raven wing bikes and assulted my Zoanthrope.
the combat went on for 3 turns always ending as nothing happened then I killed one and the others ran away

heh heh heh...spelt your profile name wrong...heh heh heh...
anyways- my 5-man scout squad surviving 4 turns in CC with 5 tyranid warriors (eventually holding an objective (they were 1" out) and winning me the game 6-5).

I had 6 meganobs chargeing on imobeliste LRC. only rold 1 and 2 for pen.

I've personally experienced the loss of an entire 10 marine assault terminator squad along with their accompanying reclusiarch due to a DS mishap. The game was pretty much over at that point as I had very little left that could compete with his heavy hitters. It's now rare that I would use so many terms and whenever I intend to DS I have multiple locator beacons in my army.

My Chaos Dreadnought likes to have a fire frenzy at the first round, so I always loose one CSM my friendly fire just on the beggining D:

I just recently had a game where I was playing my Eldar vs. a buddy's Chaos Daemons. It was my very first game with Eldar. I was running 2 full squads of Dire Avengers, one with Eldrad, and they disembarked to bladestorm a squad of horrors of Tzeentch. He had a Changeling in the squad, and for those of who you don't know when you shoot at the Changeling's unit, you have to take a leadership test and if you fail, the opponent gets to pick the target for the squad that failed its test. My Dire Avengers with Eldrad bladestormed my other squad of Dire Avengers. I lost half my troops section in 1 go, on my own turn.

I had 10 chaos terminators, friend fired 18 pulse rifles at me, 15 hitting, and 11 wounding, goodluck for him.
I rolled my saves and this is what came up:


How I cried.

Ive seen 2 chaos dreds fire frenzy and wipe 200 points worth of csm, not good (first turn)

I had a squad of (20) conscripts that where in line of sight with a squad of berzerkers, oh, I'd say 18" away. Decided to kill them when their attention was turned to me. After rolling handfuls of lasfire dice for a whole turn, plus the dice from my mortar squad behind them, the 'zerkerz reached my conscripts with non-exist casualties. The conscripts died gloriously slow, though, and for their sacrifice a demolisher was able to mave into position and take care of those Khornate Heretics. Of course, not being able to to destroy a 10 man squad of berzerkers with artillery support and 20 conscripts made me doubt the power of the Emperor for a moment...

A carnifex charged a unit of guardsman...and dies with out causing any wounds. (watched that happen to a friend of mine.

My archon is amazing at rolling a 1 for his shadowfield when he recieves his first ID wound! I get hit by a plasma gun. Okay, no problem, he can save...

To reinforce that my HQs hate passing their invul saves, Lysander was fighting a summoned greater daemon, with Lysander having 3 wounds left. Daemon attacks, deals three wounds. I roll my Dice. What I come up with is

I knew thee well, Lysander!

This isnt bad luck just annoying, I was Watching a match, the first Casualty was taken on the 4th turn.

A squad of 10 khorne beserkers are fired upon by an IG 50 man conscript squad. To my surprise, 2 survive. Kharn the betrayer and the 2 proceed to charge, and inflict 7 casualties, a poor effort indeed.


Then they sweep the entire squad when the returning wounds do not kill Kharn.

*Imagines 46 men running like frightened rabbits as Kharn alone runs up behind each one and hacks them to pieces*

16 Darklances and went 3 games and failed to Properly wreck a vehicle.

Only way i killed rhinos was to immobilze and weapon destroy them over and over.

Or full a full turn shooting 16 dark lances and failing to glance a rhino. (and no.. he didnt get cover saves except vs a few.)

Just today: 500 points SM vs 500 pts DE in an objective game. Turn 6, I have an objective, he has one, but his troops are out in the open, in full view of my Las-plas razorbacks and a HB Landspeeder. The Landspeeder knocks off one guy, meaning i only need to kill one to force a morale check on the wracks...and the Lasplas razorbacks proceed to roll straight 1s and 2s on 3 plasma shots and 2 lascannon shots in a row, all of which would have instagibbed and denied FNP. Awesome. Lost the game right there, when he then rolled a 6 to assault 5.9 inches into cover and contest my objective, and my librarian proceeded to fail to even hit the Talos to do the Force Weapon. Awesome.

that, my friend, is a series of unfortunate events.

I was playing a DE player who was pretty much down to his Archon on the board in a killpoint game, I had stupidly fielded enough units that his killpoint amount was the same as mine despite him only having his HQ left.
So it was my turn, last turn of the game and all I had to do was kill this Archon. Now he had this bit of kit that gave him a 2+ invuln, but if he failed it once, he couldn't use it any more.
I threw everything at this Archon, literally everything. And this is an ork footslogging horde army packed full of shoota boyz, lootas and deffkoptas. In the shooting phase I racked up near enough 100 wounds on ths bastard.
So he starts rolling (he has to roll each individually so if his 2+ thing fails he can roll the rest against armour or whatever).

He keeps rolling...
...and rolling...
all saved, not a single one.

No biggy though, because my warboss and his 20-strong unit of boyz will finish the job, in they go to assault...
They boyz score a decent amount of wounds, although the archons kill my warboss.
He rolls 20-odd saves, and fails the LAST FECKING ONE!!!

HIS FIELD COLLAPSES JUST AS I RUN OUT OF BLOODY ATTACKS!!! 120 WOUNDS TO SAVE AND THE LAST SHITEY ONE!

And if he hadn't of killed the warboss, I would have insta-killed him with that afterwards.

Game ends, he scores a draw with one archon who is effectively now armoured in bogroll left on the pitch surrounded by a sea of orks.

I really needed to get that off my chest...

There is (i think) a 0.0013888888888888 of that happening!

and that wins the thread hands-down- the unluckiest guy on dakka!
*clap clap clap*
