Save almost ten marine armour saves in one roll. There was one guy left in the squad. I actually removed him from the table I had that much despair. Another one was when Vulkan He'stan actually survived 2 rounds of combat in base contact with Asdrubael Vect. Vect ended up getting stabbed in the face Quite an acheivement for me, though it might not sound that good to you

I was use my Black Templar assault marines againts a group of genestealers and a broodlord, 3 turns in combat didnt lose one man.

One time there was a three way battle between Grey Knights Tyranids and Blood Angels. I saw a Mawloc and a Dreadknight fighting, I marched Sanguinor right in there and killed them both

5000pt apoc game, before I got my mantas.

I had 50 Broadsides on the table.

When you have enough railguns for anti-horde, you've done something right.

Back when 4th ed had just come out, my friend's Defiler was obliterating my troops, Assault marine sergeant took it out with one plasma pistol shot to the back, taking a couple of possessed with it.

I had a similar experience in 3rd I think it was, where a totally ass raped dread, had only a bolter left functioning, and shot the rear of another dread, and it ended up blowing sky high. What made it so funny, was it was the dread, that tore mine to pieces. so it had that, beaten and bloodied look, where 1 eye was swollen shut, and with its last bit of strength squeezed off a shot

Tabled 2500pts of tyranids and lost only 5 random marines and an assault cannon of a speeder.

I also went to a Rogue Trader event and took best over all after smashing my opponents.
It was more luck than anything. My final round was against my friend who I introduced the game.
Bottom of turn 6 I smashed his Lord with destroyer body to the ground for the 4th turn in a row (kept getting back up with 3 wounds).
But as he couldn't roll WBB at that point It won me the game.

If we had a 7th turn I might have won anyway as his Lord was the last "Necron" I needed to kill for phasing.

A few days ago, my Lord Commissar charged and killed about 7 Chaos Marines and a Rogue Inquisitor before "tactically retreating."

My very first game a few weeks back and my Tau were taking a hammering from some Marines. I'd infiltrated my 3-man stealth team and they'd stayed out the way mostly. When the store-guy figured out they had some potential to cause a problem for him he sent an assault squad to deal with them. They held their own and despite eventually being reduced to one battlesuit, prevailed over store-guys marine squad with the one-stealthsuit left standing taking out three marines alone.

Unfortunately my poor tactics and constantly forgetting to make use of the advantages and rules of my own wargear didn't win me the battle, but it was impressive to see a stealthsuit beating up his opponents against all the odds.

Falconry.

I Could field 1250 mantas for that number of point Oo

The day when my pre-Matt Ward Ultramarines battled the forces of chaos. My friend was playing as the Chaos Space Marines, and the terrain was filled with rivers of lava and barren black rock. The street lights created a dim red light, which fitted the atmosphere perfectly. So, we dimmed the lights and started the game.

As fitting, the game had many epic battles which lasted for many turns. One of the most awesome battles occured when my Chaplain engaged a Chaos Lord. He battled with him for the entire game, and on the penultimate turn stood victorious above the fallen Chaos Lord, standing on a hilltop.

My friend and I declared it to be the most epic game we have ever played.

probbably have a flawless victory with 10 eldar dire warriors against 20 genestealers
it was my first game

A lone fire dragon exarch (his squad killed) single handedly took out a Venerable dreadnought and Space Marine Combat squad (with power fist) in close combat before destroying a razorback, then a landspeeder in 4 turns. The explosion of the landspeeder killing him!

Took out a hellhound with a vyper's shuriken cannon.

Actually:

My farseer lobs his spear at a GK landraider. This blows up, killing two grey knight termies that were in combat with my banshee exarch. My exarch then finished the GK termy.

Back in fourth edition I took a pot shot with my basalisk at a chaos land raid with four Chaos Terminators and a terminator lord inside of it. Direct hit, six for pen, six for result. Which killed the Land Raider and everyone within it. Tragedy!

The most epic moment was when I was playing against CSM player and he deep-strikes a DP next to my company command squad.

I charge the DP with a guard squad and commissar. In the subsequent combat, the guard squad is killed off without doing any damage and only the commissar remains. Commissar then happily kills the DP and takes no wounds in return.

LR:C shoots and kills 19 guardsman (every shot hits and kills), the last one fails leadership test and runs off the table

In a 2v2 game that I had awhile back, my friends and I came up with a sort of BS house rule for the end of an assault phase... Basically, if, at the end of combat, all models were still locked in combat, we would roll scatter dice.

We had no idea what we were in for. I was using my Guard, along with my friend playing vanilla marines, and we were facing Orks and CSM. On the second turn, his JP chaplain and assault squad got into combat with the termie lord. They then proceeded to gather ALL the boyz, ALL the CSMs, and ALL of my platooned guardsmen into this giant swirling melee. By turn 4 there was absolutely no shooting, unless we engaged vehicles (though we did hope to scatter some ordnance onto the melee, just to clear things up abit).. At the end of turn 6, the 200+ models that "started" the melee, there were maybe 20 left standing, including the chaplain and Chaos lord (who is named Lord Inept by us, for his famed inability to do anything)

I had a single ork boy charge into combat with 3 warwalkers(he was the only survivor of the 24 guided scatterwalker shots that killed the rest of his squad), tying them up for three turns until anouther squad came to his rescue and killed the walkers.

I think i still lost the game though.

Centurion getting more than 50 IG infantry kills in a game

I had a single Space Marine with a bolter get charged by twenty kroot. He made EVERY save until the VERY last attack, which he failed and ultimately died. By this point we were rolling them one by one. I named him Davin Krootbane and marked his base for later conversion.

Warmachine.

You all know the sort of douchecanoe who hangs out at the game store and tells you about his 2nd ed D&D character? Repleatedly? When you didn't ask the first time? Well, he decides he wants to play some Warmachine with us. He talks (when he's not talking about his D&D character) how good he is at 40K, but he's never played Warmachine. He decides to get a box, and asks if I will play a game with him.

Generally, I toss or try to tie the first game against a new player. But this guy? Nope. I go after him full bore. I set up my Cryx, and we go at it. I do well. I hammer out most of his infantry with my overpowered Bane Knights because that's what I do. He manages to line up his warcaster on my Goreshade the Bastard (my Warcaster), and charges. Rolls a hit, and then rolls for damage. 3d6 and gets sixes on all, meaning he's just done full, maximum damage to my Warcaster. Without him, my army falls apart. I count it up. Goreshade has a single point of health left. And it's my turn.

Goreshade is excellent in melee. I murdered his warcaster in the next turn. His army falls apart.

It was very, very satisfying.

Years ago, back in 3rd ed, I used Aun'shi (ethereal) 1v1 against an Eldar Avatar. With the old blade master rule managed to kill the avatar after i think 2 rounds of combat without conceding any wounds.

Same thing happened next game, only this time with a Daemon Prince.

But sadly no more Aun'shi
