One of my friends (a daemonhunters player) at the end of a marathon game had two models left, right near the objective. Trouble was, he had also targeted his orbital bombardment at that objective, reasoning/hoping that it probably wouldn't scatter onto his guys if he went for it.
It did.

I loved 3rd edition...

6th edition is what made me quit the game
fantasy is tolerable... though magic sucks (I hate the random crap) so I play khorne chaos warriors
problem solved

Hyperon walks right through my Cryx.

I manage to get an assassination run off on the caster.

Get her down to 6 git points. Miss my last attack.

Cant afford any more(no focus).

Hyperon looms over the remains of my force with fatal invetability.

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Also: Kitty(the kitten not my girlfriend) loves the taste of painted models.

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

My moment is to do with a bunch of thousand sons.
So I'd just bought two packs of these guys, and they'd arrived at the front door. I picked them up and took them to my room.
I opened the pack.
They were metal. I had no metal glue.
...
...
...
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Not finished.
So I finally manage to glue them together to a certain extent using bluglue (superglue + blutak, this actually works) and get out my last pot of chaos black to begin painting them Black Legion style.
When my brother (may God curse him) parades into my room wearing only a pair of boxer shorts,

Proceeds to yell "WATCHA DOIN'?"...
Then knocks that pot of chaos black all over my sorcerer, my table and my floor.
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Was working on the Janissaire from the Haqqislam starter box (Infinity) - it was by far the fiddliest miniature I had touched, at that point, and metal. Got him 95% painted up, over the course of several of my most productive days of hobby-ing, to date, then somehow managed to drop him.



Right on his sword. His ~1/32" thick sword which I had painstakingly avoided bending. That sword with a cutaway right above the hand, leaving it no thicker than 18g wire. Bent it flat against his hand and the mere thought of straightening it out snapped the thing. Too rough to superglue (thanks to the stress fracture), too skinny to pin... Took me a solid 20 minutes of fiddling around to get it back on and looking halfway decent. Not that bad, compared to many of the stories here, but I still shudder when I recall the feeling I experienced between the drop and the landing.

:Sees GW's prices for the Hobbit releases:

I started buying stuff for my Lost and the Damned army.

Then the edition changed and the Lost and the Damned were no longer valid.

I haven't played 40K since.

This happened to me recently.



This was the last turn of the game, I had almost tabled him, and he only had a Deathspitter Warrior and these two gaunts left. He's a stubborn guy and played for the last turn like a champ. He charged his termagants into a disembarked squad of Kabalites about to take an objective.

Then that happened.

My brother in laws shas el beating my archon in cc.

That was a bad day.

Dropping my metal Daemon Prince.
I'd finished painting it the day before a big game, and was looking forward to whooping some Tau.

Its game day, I show him off to my opponent just before deployment and then drop him....
Sword arm, decorative base, and wings are seperated from his body.

early 6th, playing my nids against my friends SM
charge my flyrant against mephiston and his squad of sternguard
I roll, have implant attack, instant kill mephiston
he remembers new overwatch shooting
sternguard with hellfire rounds
needless to say mephiston didn't die but my flyrant disappeared

Not me but my friend did when this happened in game

His CSM DP DS in front of my havoc squad failed to charge

Havoc squad had
2x hb
1x missile launcher
1x lascannon

I shoot take him down to 1 wound for full just with the havocs

he charges me next turn and kills everyone but the lascannon guy

the lascannon guy proceeds to kill said dp

I had an instant recall of master chief smacking someone with the spartan laser

Turn 5, my only remaining unit is Vulkan He'stan. My oppenent has a Raider filled with a few kalbalite warriors for me to smush. Spend two turns chasing after something that can move 348508038523084802243 inches, and his dark lances bounce off my cloak repeatedly. Then Vulkan steps in a crater, dies. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

"YOU LEARN A FEW THINGS TRAVELING THE GALAXY BROTHERS " says He'Stan after speaking dark eldar tounge.... guess he failed to practice coordination.

Mephiston isn't an IC so he could not join the sternguard so your opponent cheated.

Not me, but a friend of mine has a cardboard box full of Necron warriors. Puts it on top of his car for some reason, obviously forgets about it and drives off. He sees it fall off out his rearview mirror, like half the guys are completely wrecked. Took him forever to get them all assembled again.

The biggest Noooooooooo! moment I had was when I was in the garage painting my new Assault on Black Reach orks. Keep in mind that these were the first mini's that I had ever assembled and painted. At the time I just kept the box under my painting table. I've just got the T.V. on in the background and my cat is loitering around the room. Suddenly I hear a weird sound. I remember thinking to myself "What is that?" I look under my desk to find that my cat had mistaken my AoBR box for a litter box.

B.B.Q. cat indeed.

I laughed so hard I almost passed out.

I have to think of some NO!! moments for myself but I will share one of my son for now. He just started playing and I was teaching him 5th edition. 6th wasn't out yet. He we are playing and he decided to shoot his carnifex's heavy vemoncannon. Rolls 12 for scatter with the arrow going back in the direction of the carnifex. He was so close to my models the template scattered over his carnifex and winds up killing his hive tyrant and a few guants.

I usually have one per game.

Yesterday, it was when my Termi w/ Chain Fist (and friends) assaults the opposing players LR Crusader, which has been reduced to one Hull Point because of 3 turns of shooting.

I roll to hit - the results for the Chain Fist are:

Oh, I hit with plenty of the Power Fists but of course no sixes were rolled.

Next time, Crusader... next time.

I have a couple

The epic terminator assault fail comes to mid, its in the thread already, mine was 4x1 rolled on armour vs a squad of 7 or 8 DE wyches who then went and haywired the raider.

Other is bloodbowl. Few there. Uppermost in my mind is High Elf throw for the win final turn. Thrower moves onto ball, rolls 1 but sure hands picksup, goes short pass, rolls 1, pass skill gets it away, high elf lineman who needs to walk 1 square goes o catch, i roll 1, have th reroll stored for this, roll second 1. Ball scatters off, game ends. Nooo!!

Khamul the Easterling, a hero of many battles and commander of the combined forces of Easterlings, Isengard, Harad, Khand, Mordor and Umbar, heroically drowns in a river during the first turn.

Stormvermin, Purity Seal. I can say no more, for me the memory of grief is too near....

I have a new one. That happened to me yesterday.
So I have my Defiler, Trukk with 'Ard Case And packed with ork Nobz in it's sights. I move, get within 7 inches. Ah well. LET HELL BE UNLEASHED THROUGH BATTLE CANNON! I fire, roll scatter dice and distance. 12. 2 inches behind me are my Havocs packing a ton of heavy weapons. Battle cannon hits them, all dead. My Defiler is on one hull point. Hits rear armour, penetrates. Destroyed. I had the strangest image of the battle cannon blowing the entire body backwards onto my Havocs.

That's just too great and too terrible at the same time to even get mad about!

Watched a game between a nurgle CSM player and a nurgle daemon player today. Daemon player took Epidemius.

Both players realize turn 2 that EVERYTHING on the board has the mark of nurgle, and therefore gets the bonuses.

Reach the tier where EVERYTHING gets a 3+FNP. Turns into a hilarious slapfight, with everything in assault but nothing can kill anything.

Then kill number 20 happens.

All attacks ignore armors saves.

Cue one very sad CSM player.

One of the funniest matches I've ever watched

I lost my scissors, after a long time of searching for them I thought to myself 'you know, I'm going to buy new scissors and not lose them!'. I go out to get these brand new lovely scissors only to realise it's one of those airtight plastic packaging. That's when it hit me, I needed scissors to get into the pack. There they were, staring at me knowing that they had won...

... NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

CURSE YOU CLAM SHELLS!!!!!!!

did you happen to watch michael mcintyre over the holidays?

Every White Dwarf since Fat Bloke left.

There I was admiring my 5 LRBT chassis with sponsons in all their glory, looking forward to the new edition of 40K.

Then 3rd Ed happened. I didn't play 40K again or even walk into a LGS for almost a decade.
