In that same shooting phase, four Interceptors fired on Lysander(as he had no retinue), did three wounds, and he rolled three 1's! Epic fail, he lost all his wounds in one shooting phase with a 2+ armour save!

That SM player is going to be raging when he reaslises Lysander has 4 wounds!

How, may I ask, did this happen?

Playing on a standard 4x6 table you will be 24" apart if the monolith and dread are as close as possable.

No way in the game is a Dred is going to make it into CC with the monolith on turn one unless its a Furioso Librarian. Even with Fleet it is impossable for a normal dreadnought.

Maybe Crons got first turn, deep striked mono and Dread was in range to charge?

Can you DS a Monolith on the first turn?

No

Thought not.

Since you have to start at least 24.1" away from an enemy model on a 4x4 or 4x6, not even the Monolith moving and the Dread getting Blood Rage, moving, fleeting and assaulting 6" would manage it (it'd manage 24", but deployment states you have to be more than 24", and DoW would mean both the ML and DN come from their respective board edges).

5 paladins and Draigo charged a 3 Ork cans unit.

3 turns later, the last can took Draigo last wound and stood victorious.

I was a bit bitter.

Strikes at Vindicare( Int 6>?) and kills him?

Meanwhile, Ghraz and MANZ are still lugging their claws along the graounfd and trying deperatly to get their before the Painboy "eksperiments" on the Vindicare's corpse.

That right?

More or less correct, we didn't have furious charge back in the day so we attacked at the same time I think. I know I had only 3 attacks and I hit and wounded with them all, he failed his saves and died as you described. I remember for sure no wounds were dealt by his assassin to my squad, it was 'DOKTOR' PAIN who paid him a yearly check up with death by punching! Since it was S4 (remember old codex) vs 4 my 'urty syringe didn't do crud to him either so that's why we imagined punches. Even though my enemy was annoyed this happened we both couldn't help but laughing.

One of my ork boyz tried to steal his nob's position in the middle of a battle against Dark Eldar. His choppa attack didn't kill the nob and he was in turn power klawed to death.

How?

I had a Tzeentch Daemon Prince that was shot down to 1 wound on it's first turn and then finished off with a bolt pistol. -_-

Had Abaddon vs Chaos Daemons. He was in a unit of 6 Termies. Second turn (after only moving forward in the first turn) they were charged by a unit of 15 bloodletters. Abaddon going first, roll's a 1 and then get's killed by the charging bloodletters.

Had a Bloodthirster that lost three rounds of combat to a farseer (the game ended before we could resolve it, but at the rate it was going the Farseer was only a wound off finishing him).

Finally I once used Ahriman to turn the Avatar of Khaine into a chaos spawn using the 'gift of chaos' psychic power. Major lol's.

A spore mine killed two space marines. Stupid 3+

It dun fall off a table.
My broadside that it.

Sometimes if I'm not trying to win I'll have my orks start attacking each other for a laugh.

I look forward to the day when my first shooting action is against my own army. That'll likely be a game against a stranger.

I saw a friend lose a Swarmlord to an Ethereal with an honorblade with his honor guard. How it happened I am not sure, I saw his swarmlord charge into CC against the tau ethereal, turned away to my own game sorta chuckling at how screwed my friend's opponent was. A little while later I hear, "NO FRIGGIN' WAY!!!!!" apparently, someone had some very cruddy dice rolls and someone else had some very lucky dice rolls. The Nids did end up stomping the Tau, but that one little battle was enough to inflate the Tau player's ego through the roof.

made the noobie mistake of deepstriking 200 pts worth of terminators against a hive tyrant + hive guard then getting overwhelmed by the 20 or so gene stealers nearby plus the 40 termagants behind him

RAGE QUIT! (it was a 500pt battle)

Squad of 20 kroot (inc shaper) charge 5 SM, take 1 wound, give 0 wounds and then fail Ld to get hacked down from bad Init test ouch.

Or he means the first turn of assault?

he capitalized first turn. he didn't say first round of CC.

whats with the quote

try a squad of 10! yes ten wolf guard terminators rnning of the board after retreating from a lost combat with 20 gaunts

My one was one delivered and not one received - playing against a friend of mine who plays Chaos, who has a bit of a man-crush on Abaddon. He'd gone out and bought the model, spent weeks painting it up and talking about how awesome it was going to be.

During the course of the first game against him, one of my tactical squads was reduced to 1 model, a sergeant with a power weapon and bolt pistol. In a move I almost considered skipping, he fired his bolt pistol at Abaddon and his 3 remaining Terminator escort. He wounded, killed one of them, and Abaddon's unit failed their morale check, and the one sergeant promptly escorted Abaddon off the board.

I think he nearly cried.

Is every single game in the world played with a standard board deployment? My FLGS used to play all kinds of crazy missions - one notable example that would allow for this situation to happen had both players scattering their forces across the board. The Dreadnought with its large base and the Monolith being the size it is could have easily charged on turn 1.

Just sayin', not every game takes place on a standard board.

And not every game uses Forge World models. They make a Dreadnought-only drop pod that has the Assault Vehicle special rule.

EDIT: One-hundredth post, hooray!

This isn't for my models, but they inflicted them.

I Tank Shook a Daemon Prince with a Trukk with Reinforced Ram. The Daemon Prince failed to pen it, and was killed. The Trukk then Tank Shook his second Daemon Prince in the next turn, which penned, but only got weapon destroyed, he died as well.

I have the unluckiest Librarian in the world. He has terminator armour, a storm shield and I normally give him Epistolary. I have used him in 5 Games; 2 vs BT, 2 vs DE and 1 vs NEWcrons. He has periled himself to death, been sucked into a tesseract labyrinth, sucker punched by a BT PF, (twice) and stabbed to death by a Haemonculus. With nothing in the way of CC weapons.

All battle missions have a 18" no-mans land, rather then 24". Might have been playing one of those. Or even one of the silly ones, where models of both armies are mixed all over the board.

Wolf lord on thunderwolf attempted to get last inquisitorial stormtrooper off an objective (deamonhunters codex) only for him to go up a level and kill him with a melta gun

Ok, well you gotta be expecting some crazy stuff when things lke that happen. And scattering everyone's forces about the board is going to be horribly unbalanced. CC armies win, shooty armies lose. pure and simple.

What about the Orbital Strike SM mission, with the Crons as the Marines/attackers, allowing them to deep strike turn 1?
