i will start of.
when i was playing a imperial guard army (a gunline army to be exact, i was playing against orks, and i was trying to kill of a unit of gretchin, and despite shooting at it with a deathstrike missile louncher, a basalisk, a demolisher cannon and a manticore, the grots managed to reach my troops without suffering a single wound, when they finaly reached my gunline, wich was guarded with allied death company space marines led by mephiston and with gabriel seth taging along, the gretching assualted the death company, wiped out the entire squad and only taking one casuaty in the proccess, and then proceed to kill gabriel seth during overwatch the very next turn, at this point i am get lucky and a baneblade enters the battlefield from reserves, the runtherd leading the grots shoots the baneblade and gets a weapon immobilized roll, and when i finally killed a few more grots, the grots made a morale check, passed it, and blew up my HQ's chimera, and thus with just one squad of grots, getting kill the warlord, linebreaker and first blood. seriosly, after that game began regarding gretchin as worthy of at least an at least a place in the elite slot.

Wow, those were some spectacularly failtastic dice rolls...
My own story's not as impressive. I mean, what a hard act to follow!
It was turn 6 or so, and I was down to a single Scout with a sniper rifle and Saint Celestine, up against a mob of Boyz, two small units of Lootas, a pair of Killa Kanz, and a Big Mek with a Shokk Attack Gun. The Scout was dug in behind a defense line, claiming an objective and in cover from everything on the board. Celestine saw an opportunity to win the day, if she could just draw the Ork Boyz away from either of the two objectives they'd positioned themselves to claim (Apparently in 6th you can only claim one objective per unit, but we didn't know about that at the time).
So she went for the center of their unit, essentially trying to T-bone them and crumple them around her. She declared her charge, but the Boyz were ready with their Slugga Pistols, and Celestine took a round to the face, losing her last wound. The game ended immediately thereafter to an unlucky roll of the dice, with an Ork victory.
That Scout was really something, though. He weathered a few turns of 10-12 Lootas, a Big Mek with SAG, a Killa Kan with Rokkit Launcha, and a Killa Kan with Grotzooka all wailing on him. Defence Lines kick butt though, as he went to ground for a 2+ cover save.
Perhaps I didn't emphasize how spectacularly failtastic the OP's story's dicerolls were...
It's like that guy, who they made that movie about his real life experience in... Was it world war 2? ...but he had them cut certain parts because he thought that Hollywood audiences wouldn't believe it. Only in this case, you left them all in.
I kinda find it really hard to believe that a unit of Grots can survive four heavy support choices from one codex (unless there was a Vindicator), a monster CC unit led by two allied HQs, a Superheavy from Apocalypse, immobilize that superheavy's weapon, and destroy a tank.
What the hell were you playing?

What weapons did they have? Str 3? I haven't had any big fails recently, though I was playing a 1k game of my DKoK vs a friends Orks and I had a Grenadier squad kill 6 out of 20 boys in over-watch at which point my Watch master (Sarg) Kills his PK Nob in a challenge. at the end of combat I had killed 5 more orks (including the Nob) they fail leadership and I swept them. Wasn't that big of a fail but made me feel good none the less.

My first game of 6th I lost to my friends Dark Eldar due to a combination of new rules being broken and terrible dice rolling for me, and amazing dice rolling for him.
First up, he reserved his entire army. We realized this wasn't allowed when the first turn was underway. Then, when his Raiders did turn up, he managed to roll so amazingly well with splinter pistol shots that all of my MC's were dead that turn. With most of my anti tank gone, it was a quick game of his Raiders zipping around my bugs taking them apart.
All subsequent games have gone the complete opposite way. His Dark Eldar have yet to beat my Tyranids again.

Back in the days of 5th Ed 'Herohammer' WHFB my friend and I swapped armies for the day. He claimed that my Bretonnians were vastly overpowered against his Skaven, so I suggested I take the Skaven for the weekend and see how we do. He agreed, borrowed my armybook, and came up with a list he was sure would destroy my temporary vermintide.
Turn 3 and he charges Louen Leoncoueur into my Stormvermin, the best they can hope for is a quick ravaging. This is the part where the Skaven general in him must have come to the fore, he fires his bowmen into the combat - it was legal back then for every army. Sure enough he rolls awfully, killing the King while barely touching the rats, the icing on the cake was the Hippogryph going bezerk and leaving the battlefield.
All I could say was 'yep, those bowmen sure are OP'

So I have this legion list and used that squad that can all take special weapons. I used plasma guns, I rolled gets hot for all of them. They all died. Ten of the emperor's finest, killed by their own guns.
Worse still is one of my triple vindis chaos lists firing, and then one scatters BEHIND itself, and then gibs Abaddon (on his last wound) and his terrible termis.
The lord of the black legion, slain by a shell with an impossible trajectory. Oh and the vindi blew itself up too. We laughed so hard that we had that be our fanonical end to the 13th black crusade.

I had just started playing Warhammer 40k and I was borrowing my friends Imperial Fist army. We played a 850 point game and almost my entire army was wiped out except for a scout squad and a rhino. I couldn't hit anybody and the rhino blew up killing 2 scouts and I move my scouts to some fuel barrels (I didn't know they could explode) and they exploded leaving 1 scout and a sergeant. I had not kill points.

Sneaky Lictor

Mine was just about two weeks ago when I let my 13 year old son play his first game. I let him pick the army and he took my crons so I ran my nids. My nid build was pretty brutal for the points, two tervigons a gant unit and two hive guard and he was running a ghost ark, olord 7 warriors and an Annihilation barge. (500 pt game I think)
We played on a half sized board and I let him go first, just because it was his first game. Well, he fired with the AB first, getting 3 sixs on the top gun for 10 hits... and double sixes on the underslung ( which was firing snap) for a grand total of 16 hits on my Tervigon. He gets 11 wounds and I fail too many saves and it explodes killing all but one of the gants hiding behind it. He then managed to put two wounds on the second Terv because of my horrible saves.
I manage to glance the AB and put down 4 warriors... three of them get back up and of course he replaced the 4th with the ark next turn.. The AB manages to kill the second Terv in turn 2 and he cleaned the rest of the gants as well. At this point I have two hive guard left on the board. They fail to hurt the AB.. and he kills one of them in turn three and I just give him the win at this point.
I pretty much got tabled by turn 3, and didn't claim even one model from him.
Being 13, he spent the rest of the weekend telling me how much I sucked and he was awesome.

Screaming Shining Spear
|
Turn 5 and my enemy is about to charge me with Ghaz to contest or clear me off an objective.
A loota shoots a chimera.
Exploded it.
6" explosion size.
We couldn't determine whether it hit Ghazkull so another person came in and told us to 4+ it.
Die rolled in my favor so Ghazkull was hit by the explosion.
6 to wound.
1 on his armor save.
Ghazkull died and because of that he wasn't able to contest that objective anymore.
Rolled the die for end of the game...
got a 1 meaning I won.
Good job lootas

Longtime Dakkanaut

Gather round, and let me sing you the song of my people... About last week I was playing a friendly game with a Tau gunline against a spectacularly not-so-good Tyranid list (genestealers and broodlords as the only troops, 3 single biovores as heavy support, tyranid prime in a squad with zoanthropes...). It was my first time with the codex and I accidentally went over a few points in the list (took some wargear and forgot about it until after the game started). Karma must have come back to bite me hard that game! It was pathetic the entire time, but I'll share you some of the highlights. -I had an ethereal in one of my squads of fire warriors. Two of my squads (including the one with the ethereal) broke and ran off the board on turn 1 because of the biovores when I rolled back to back 11s on my leadership checks. - I had longstrike in a railhead with submunitions. He fired his railgun 3 times, the two submuntions both rolled 10-11 inches for scatter and when he fired solid shot he rolled a 1 to hit. He also overwatched about three times with markerlight support and never even hit, let alone wounded. - After two turns of shooting and overwatch, three broodlords were the only thing left to get to my lines. Two only had one wound left and one had two wounds. In a display of suicidal bravery, the pathfinder squad one of them engaged rolled double ones for leadership, then about a 4, so they stayed locked in combat where I couldn't shoot them. The other one tied up my broadsides in combat for the rest of the game, since even with strength 5 hits I could never get a single wound on him. - a single broodlord (toughness 5, 4+ save) with one wound survived being shot by 2 crisis suits armed with plasma and missile pods. - to cap it off, the Doom of Malan`ti fell out of a spore. My 3 strength 8 interceptor shots all failed to kill it, and I rolled above an 11 for every leadership check it made me take (every unit in 6" takes a ld test on 3d6 and suffers wounds equal to the amount it fails by, the Doom then gains that many wounds up to max of 10). Killed my riptide instantly when it got out of the pod and finished my last troop unit. Moral of the story: double check your lists. if you go over on points without admitting it the dice gods will come down on you hard!

Perfect Shot Dark Angels Predator Pilot
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
|
Playing against my buddies necrons in 5th (pre current codex). I'm playing C: SM, with 2 squads of terminators, 2 predators, a TFC, some tacs, a CC multi melta dread, probably a few other things. He is running 3 monoliths, two warrior blobs, with a lord and rez orb hiding in them. I think he also had a squad of wraiths.
We set up, and I know what he's going to do, hide his warriors behind the wall of monoliths. All I have to do is kill half of them and easy win right? HAHAHA! So I reserve my terminators to DS behind the wall of death.
My terminators don't come until turn 3. While waiting, the majority of my army gets totally wiped out. Thanks to some great rolls on his behalf and some terrible ones on mine, I haven't killed a single warrior, and my las cannon preds, for 2 turns of shooting, have nothing to show for it. I kept getting results that did nothing to the monolith, and weapon destroyed back then couldn't actually destroy all their weapons. Man it was frustrating.
Then Finally both my terminator squads show up. YES! So I DS them down behind the wall of monoliths, into an area I believe to be far enough from everything. I roll and both scatter.  One squad rolls box cars and scatter onto one of his squads just barely enough to not be place able. Result destroyed. The other rolls 11 the other way, and into something else, I don't know, a rock or something, and they get delayed. I charge a monolith with my dread and super wiff. The rest of my army is trying to get los on the warriors, and I might hand him one or two saves a turn, to which he always makes we'll be back.
turn 5, I have my dreadnought and my second attempt arrival terminators. My turn 5, terminators land perfectly, and unload all their storm bolters and CML into the nearest warrior squad. After everything is resolved, I finally kill the first warrior that stays down all game. My dreadnought also managed to stun and immobilize a monolith so he can't move his warriors away from my terminators. He has to kill both units because the dread is now in charge range of his warriors too. He can't shoot at either with particle whips because of possition and with the weapon destroyed added up, he only gets 1 shot from his other weapon.
His turn 5. With nothing else to do, he fires one warrior squad at the dread, rolling enough glanced immobilized and weapon destroyed to kill 3 dreads. Then he fires with everything else at my terminators, and hands me 6 saves to make. Which I proceed to fail 5.
End result of the game I killed a single warrior and kinda slightly a little bit hurt some monoliths just barely. I was completely tabled.
Needless to say, next game we played, drop pods, drop pods everywhere.
He arranged his 3 monoliths so they had a triangle in the middle and hides as many warriors as he could in the middle. The other warriors are hidden out of the triangle to on side. All my pods come down on that side turn one and wipe that squad. This time I brought 1 pred, and it manages to explode on of the monoliths, and the resulting explosion kills enough warriors that stay down to cause him to phase out. He doesn't even get a turn. Revenge was mine

Bloodthirsty Bloodletter

One of my firs games with the new Daemon codex, squaring off against a buddy's Tau.
Army's fully deployed, I successfully seize the initiative.
WIth a grin, I have my Herald of Tzeentch use the Grimoire to boost my Seekers' saves, confident that 20 seekers + a Herald of Slaanesh will survive the hail of fire headed at them, given the 3++ save. Until, that is, the HoT rolls a 1 on the grimoire check and, unable to overcome his penchant for mischief, knocks the seekers down to a 6++.
That same turn, Slaanesh demonstrated its displeasure with the lowly Herald of Tzeentch, as the Warp Storm came up as "Punished by the Gods" and I randomly roll the HoT (out of the 9 characters in the army). Who then proceeds to roll a 17 on his Instability test. Needless to say, no more HoT. And after the broadsides finished firing, no more seekers. About 2 turns later, no more Daemons.

I was playing tau in 5th, and was still learning 40k and the other armies (I was pretty good vs. imperial, but not a lot of xenos in my local mix).
At a tourney, I ran into my first ork speed freaks list.
Nob bikers, with a doc and other stuff.
It was brutal, just brutal. I did manage to get a squad of kroot to his back objective, and out of 40 attacks, killed a single boy.
Between my dice, the match up, and my inexperience dealing with ork bikers - it was the most crushing defeat I ever had.
I killed a total of seven models (including like 4 boys) in five turns. It was bad. The redeeming part was, he was a cool guy, and overall had a good day.

Executing Exarch

Khorne Juggernought lord rolled eternal warrior as his boon. Thought great, now he'll be evil! mwahahaha! Lost a wound to a bolt pistol. Fired his plasma pistol on overwatch and lost another wound. Went to hit with the axe of blind fury, rolled a one, lost another wound. Missed with his attacks in cc, lost his last wound by getting punched in the face. 195pts dead in one turn, mainly due to himself. EDIT: this is now the 2nd time he's done exactly the same thing. Last time he lost two wounds trying to pop a rhino - overheating and demon weapon again...

Crazed Spirit of the Defiler
|
GamesDay Chicago, '05 or '06. I'm with my buddy at one of the tables, using the provided armies. Dark Eldar and Chaos Marines. He's played DE for a while, and I'd just gotten the 3.5 Chaos dex, so were both feeling good. Then some kid, couldn't be older then 9 or 10 comes up with his buddy, and the guy running the table says they can join us, one kid on each team.
Grudgingly my friend and I accept. My freind gives his erstwhile partner command of half the warriors, half the wyches, and a talos, keeping the ravager to himself. I figure that my partner would have to be pretty dense to mess up if I gave him controll of the 2 squads of 4 heavy bolter Havocs, so I let him controll my fire base, explaining that he just needs to sit back and shoot, while I used the Chaos Lord and his bodyguard with a bit more finesse.
I shoulda done it the other way.
Turn 1, DE run straight at us. No cover in sight. I figure that 8 heavy bolsters will make short work of them. Instead, kid moves Havocs forward...
Turn 2 and DE end their phase so close I can smell them. They WILL charge on turn 3. Hoping kid will see the this (and saying it rather loudly), kid decides to once more move foreward, so he can charge.
Both havoc squads charge wyche squads...and both are wiped from existence in a matter of moments. Kid looks to his friend and complains that he cheated, and both walk away, leaving me angrier then the most miffed Angry Marine, and my buddy with what I can only describe as a trollfaced O-face.
With the loss of all my firepower, and one flank seriously compromised, the rest of the Chaos Marines are tabled in the next turn.
To this day he will occasionally remind me of that fateful game.

5E mech IG with Officer of the Fleet going 1st vs Chaos Daemons
Utterly wipe the board with the daemons, 1 unit of 3 bloodletters left on an objective when turn 5 rolls around, 1 unit of plaguebearers stuck in perpetual reserves due to OotF, I've got one objective and tanks racing to 2 others, daemon player brings in Plaguebearers on an objective, Random Game Length roll ends the game on turn 5 with him holding two objectives and me 1 as a result of my Officer of the Fleet keeping them in reserve so long

IRON WITHIN, IRON WITHOUT.
New Heavy Gear Log! Also...Grey Knights!
The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts. |
