i think my "best 40k moment" in memory was when...


I flanked an expensive Battle wagon(with a Deffrola) + (with a MAW and a big boy squad) with an assault squad (+jump pack Chaplin) and a TH captain +command squad.

i wanted to at least immobilize it so it couldn't use the deffrolla on my guys

i assaulted with both squads, it moved about 9' in the ork turn so i needed 6's to hit the thing .managed to surround the whole thing with all my guys and got a wreck result off the chaplain's power fist.......

The boys and the MAW could not disembark because i had the BW surrounded.
all the orks ended up burning to death inside the Wreckage.

needless to say... my friend was not to happy about that.

Quoted for awesome

My LRBT killing a whole devastator squad in turn one of a game, a whole 10 man tact. squad in turn 2, a predator turn 3 and a dreadnought turn 4. Pretty cost efficient that tank was.

Space Marine Captain and his Command Squad

Grey Knights Dreadknight

The Dreadknight Comes up about an inch short of charge. Command Squad moves in.

Dreadknight scores one wound, the Company Champion makes his 6+ Invul.

The Captain Scores two wounds on the Dreadknight, no saves.

Banner Bearer brings it down with a plasma pistol shot to the face.

In a fight against Necrons my opponant had managed to destroy my Vindicator in 1 hit, and I had nothing left after a round or 2 to kill his monolith with anything but a series of 6's. He'd managed to pop one of my rhinos the previous turn and decided to finish the job. Scattered onto himself, 6 to pen, 5 to damage. AP1 for the hole being over the hull made it explode, which also killed several of the necrons close to him. Phased him out a round later due to those losses. We both laughed our butts off after he got over it

Had these two happen the other night, playing 40k with the buddies in a more casual setting.

After their transport blew up, some Grey Hunters were surrounded by three different squads in a Chaos Space Marine list - a full squad of Marines, and 2 partial squads of Berzerkers. On my (the Wolves) turn, I shot and charged one of the mini squads, knocking it down to 1 man without losing a single model. About three rounds later, my Hunters are still in there, whittling down all 3 squads to nothing, until the berzerkers both die, and the CSMs run. At one point he even charged a 1-wound Greater Daemon into the fray, and one Grey Hunter uppercut it in the jewels before it could swing. Twas a great moment

The other one was when my Orks were facing off against my own Wolves, running Njal. The Meganobz squad wreaks some havoc, but one turn they get caught out of combat and Njal is in a perfect position to hit 4 of them with Jaws of the World Wolf. He passes, and hits all four. The initiative rolls go down, and...

1, 1, 1, 1. Never have I been so happy to see so many 1s in a row.

Most epic moments? I have a few, but here's a couple off the top of my head:

My first game against BA using IG...a squad of Veterans get charged by a full unit of Assault Marines. The veterans, with only a Sarge, lascannon, and vox, walk away victorious.

Same game as above - another set of vets nailed a termie Chaplain with a lascannon and ID'd him once he decided he could walk across the table.

Second game against BA, on turn two: my armoured sentinel with a Missile is lanced by a furioso dreadnaught....the furioso rolled snake eyes for the psychic check and failed to glance my sentinel, but blew his own force weapon off due to perils. The BA player proceeds to charge my walker, as well as a tac squad w/ a PF. Two turns later, the Death Company's rage draws them into CC as well. Turn 6, my sentinel is finally killed after managing to kill a couple tac marines.

Billy did his job that day, as 65 points held off 515 points. I still lost that game, but Billy did an epic job.

In a team game with IG(me) and old DE vs Eldar and Chaos, Billy (the sentinel from the above story) fired krak missiles at a Wraithlord starting turn one. At the end of turn 3 the wraithlord was dead. Yes. My 65 pt, BS 3 sentinel made SIX consequtive 4+'s to hit and wound the enemy Wraithlord.

Then in another team game, IG & SW vs the same DE and Chaos from the above story...Turn one my heavy bolter vet squad fires throught multiple windows at a unit of Reavers after getting the order "Fire on my Target!"...all three shots hit and wounded, the DE player passed all cover saves, then rerolled and failed them. The Reaver squad then promptly fails their ld check and flees off the table before even being able to move. That same game, a Basalisk fired indirect at a chaos rhino I wanted dead....the shot scatterd of course....right onto another rhino and promptly blew it up.

And my final story for now...in a team game, DA(me) and GK vs Necrons and Daemons....the GK and I won first turn. So, with no daemons on the field yet, we lay into the necrons. Having nothing better to target, my 3 TLLC razorbacks fired on the monolith. Even after rerolls, only one hit. Expecting nothing to happen, I roll for pen. 6. I pen....so i roll to see what happens. 6. It explodes....i roll to see how far....6. 6...6...6... Three back to back 6's from a razorback....on the top of turn one. My poor necron buddy....he was screwed after that....

In any event, my razorbacks did the same thing the next time i faced my Necron friend. As such, one razorback earned its paint job, and the other has a freehand monolith painted on its side.

My greatest 40k moment was when I wiped out almost 4800 points of Orks in an apoc game, after that I always bring my Leman Russ squadrons with battle cannon and HW sponsons. A sallute also goes to my Baneblade thou, and my troopers
