My friends, Blood Angel and Space Wolf were playing a game that I was judging (as we do when we're not the one playing. One plays the role of the TO), the Space Wolf charges with his unit containing Logan Grimnar.

In a bid to stall Logan's capacity to destroy the unit, the BA player challenges him with his Sanguinary Priest, sacrificing it for the greater good.

The priest then procedes to put Logan over his lap and spank him dead. Everyone, even the BA player, tried to find what we must have overlooked for this scenario to be possible.

An enemy Warboss (2 wounds left) with Megarmour and Cybork armour charged my lone Company Commander. My Commander took out one wound in overwatch, and killed him in melee.

The other day I placed a squad of 10 DA terminators with Belial as my warlord on the table via DWA. My opponent was also running DA and had a librarian. He ended up rolling for "Hallucination" and "You're the traitor!", forcing my terminators and Belial to attack one another. He killed my entire 600ish point unit in a 2000 point game using one random psychic power. Even though I lost a lot of points, I couldn't stop laughing at what had happened.

I am even a little embarrassed to admit this, but when I deepstruck the unit on turn 1, I forgot about it because he also plays DA, so they blended in with his units (nothing was painted). I would have had 22 tl storm bolter shots that turn and I forgot about it. I will never make that mistake again. Lesson learned I suppose.

I charged 5 lightning claw DWT into some crisis suits. They killed them easily, but were left staring down the barrels of an entire Tau gunline. I lost 0 terminators which caused my opponent to rage quit. Only rage quit I ever experienced. You go DWT, I don't care what they say about you.

Once had coteaz kill a riptide that was on full wounds... With his EAGLE! Very poor rolling on his part, and very good on mine, but even so.
Also had a lone DCA survive a round of overwatch where he passed 6 5+ saves, then proceeded to kill the entire deathstar (think it was a BA death company).
Oh and I also had a PIS guardsman one-shot a voidraven bomber with a meltagun.

Note to the reader: my username is not arrogance. No, my name is taken from the most excellent of commanders: Lord Castellan Creed, of the Imperial Guar- I mean Astra Militarum - who has a special rule known only as "Tactical Genius"... Although nowhere near as awesome as before, it now allows some cool stuff for the Guar- Astra Militarum - player. FEAR ME AND MY TWO WARLORD TRAITS.

Lone wolf with wolf claws and TDA killed a Bloodthirster and Soulgrinder in the same game (incredibly lucky rolls on the first bit) before finally being taken down by a squad of Bloodletters (killed 1/3 of the squad). He fell surrounded by the corpses of his enemies and earned his place at the Wolf Time. I literally retired the model after just one game

My Chaplain, who I made in 3rd Ed, was infamous for his many feats of badassery. One of the earliest games with him, he survived 3 round from a Vindicator and eventually destroyed it with a meltabomb.

He had also killed Hive Tyrants, Carnifexes, Avatars, Greater Daemons ect. It was a joke that there was nothing he couldn't take down. His favorite things to smash were Necrons.

In my final game with my Ultramarines, he was locked in combat with a Shas'O. They both had a single wound left at the end of the end of the game.



When I sold my army to a friend he made this out of respect for Chaplain T, pitier of fools. Tosser of suckas!



Edit: Roommate corrected me on the final game scenario.

In the last edition, my Dire avengers used to consistently out perform the rest of my army.

7 Dire avengers taking out 5 Justaerin in one turn was nice. My exarch has been known to kill terminators with his power sword.
Again in 4th ed, My Avatar once went toe to toe with the old nightbringer - the 400pt one from the old dex. Survived the nightbringers attacks without taking a wound and then nutted him.
My 155pt Avatar also went up against Horus in apoc and survived 4 turns of combat.

Avatars have always been horrible for my KoS. She seems to always outperform my thirster (who incidentally died to a squad of plague marines) though when I see an avatar I groan. She has died twice in cc with one of them. As for Horus I haven't ever played him but she did narrowly defeat Angron in a challenge once which I was very pleased with!

My stealthsuits, almost every time i field them. I go in expecting very little with the way people down play them but they almost always get their points back at least. It usually happens in melee when its all said and done.

The flip side to this though is that they get murdered without so much as sneezing at the enemy. though that is much more rare.

My Riptide has yet to fail me in amazing shots from game to game. The best shot ever was when an opponent of mine had a very scary set of unit at my front line consisting of a Riptide with one wound left (3++ and FnP) a 5man Term squad (MoT) lead by a Term Sorceror, and a Maulerfiend. terms hiding behind riptide and fiend.

I overcharged my Ion Accelerator, targetting the Term squad, land a solid hit. (had removed coversaves with markers, not enough to buff BS) I hit both the riptide and the fiend. Needless to say, after a lot of good rolling on my part and a lack of saves. Every one fo them had been cooked alive with plasma balls. It was epic.

Of course the game ended even better, as on the last turn he decided to charge my riptide who had one wound left with his riptide who had 4 wounds left. I had prescience on my Riptide, rolled a 6 to hit with the IA and a 6 for the plasma, rerolled got another 6 for each. Wounded all 4 times, and watch him fail 4 3++ saves. MVP for sure.

I have had ten Chaos Terminators masacer a thousand points of Ork boys alone, and the lord murder the war boss. They received many blessings from the dark gods afterwards.

Honorable mention goes to my SW Thunder wolf lord who chased made it his personal goal, to murder anything that came his way in a game against a foot slogging Guard army. Never has that wolf eaten so many guardsmen

I had 2 Crisis Suits and a Pirhanna in a 750pts 2v2 in 5thEd game take out the whole force of one opponent and about 200pts of his buddies force as well. Whilst my Ork partner took out the rest a weathered the storm of fire coming from them both. All that was left was 2 Marines and an imobilized Weapon Destroyed Rhino. Both were playing Nilla Marines.
