Hello good sirs!

What would be your best killstreak or silly event you've had with a unit? For example, has your riptide or dreadknight plowed FAR more than its cost in points? Or what was a rather silly thing you managed to accomplish with a certain unit?

Farsight with 5 suits and 5 drones.
2x 2 plasma rifles, 2x 2 fusion blasters, support suit

Deepstrike in and on that shooting phase killed
A squad of genestealers that were outflanking
The Doom with 10 wounds (instant death)
A Mawloc
Some Harpies (i dont remember how many)
and took the last wound off a flyrant


Mega pleased with that phase

Im still new to my Dark Eldar but loving them on the table top.

In my recent game against a Dark Angels players, my Archons unit (Archon, Klaivex and 3 Incubi) cut their way through Azrael with 6 marines (Archon killed Azrael in a challenge). Then next turn killed Ezekiel with a few marines (again, Archon challenged), and then killed the final few Tac marines left on my opponents objective in Emperors will. They lost only 1 Incubi from the unit.
Obviously this is a great combat unit and sort of to be expected, but i was still a great kill-streak.

Shenanigans?
Had a hilarious time with Deathleaper in my Nid army once. The only time I feel he really made his points back.Game was me vs my friends BT (old dex). 2000pts. It was Crusade, 5 objectives. I had first turn.

Turn 2, he arrives next to the 2 surviving members of a combat squad, and shoots them off their objectives with 2 rending flesh hook shots.
Then he disappears in Turn 3.
Turn 4 he appears again next to 3 scouts in area terrain on an objective near the board edge. Kills 2 with his flesh hooks (failed cover saves) and the third flees off the table.
Turn 5 he disappears again.
Turn 6 he reappears in area terrain, 6 inches from a 9 man assault squad. He kills 1 with Flesh hooks. The survivors turn and fire. He saves 5 bolt pistol shots. They elect to charge. He kills one with a non-rending Flesh hook shot in overwatch. 7 marines survive to make it into combat. They make their charge, and he massacres 4 of them. The remaining 3 whiff their attacks, and he passes the only save he was required to make.
Turn 7 he kills the survivors and consolidates into range of contesting another objective, though there was no enemy unit on it. My opponent elects to fire his Predators TL lascannon at him, and it misses.

Vulkan hestan detached from a squad of marines (with 1w left) and solo'd a squad of marines (who all died next turn to a pie plate), roasted the captain in the squad (he only had 1w left too), challenge was denied and he killed 3, they held fast. Net turn 10 assault marines join their brothers and hestan survives 2 more turns against 20+ attacks per turn making all saves and kiling off 2-3 models a turn. It was glorious because he not only didnt die but got me linebreaker as well. won that battle 5-0 (FB, 2x LB STW and 1 objective to 0 objectives)

Shenanigan? i used my libby to give my Ironclad a 4++ then charged into melee with th/ss termies and killed 3 first turn. Then the other 2 in the enemy turn. Then he consolidated, my turn moved and charged a tac squad who ran off the objective and the edge of the board. Needless to say i hold him in high honor and will always pair him with both a libby and a Tech marine from now on

When I was first learning the game, I had a small battle against my friend (this was quite a few years ago) my nids vs his BT.

It was a very close and brutal game, everything was dying all over the place, so we did what any sane people would do, and took it to last man standing. We both got down to 1 model, thanks in no small part to my ripper swarm base taking out not one, not two, but 3 tacticals. It was running on instincts, charged up to the top of a building, and duked it out in hand to hand with a vindicare assassin, his last model. Both the assassin and the ripper died in the last round of combat, making the game a draw.

Hero ripper swarm. Though we probably made a few mistakes playing.

Over the course of a game a single Carnifex took out a Whirlwind, 2 Rhinos, 2 Tac squads and a Librarian. What makes this even more impressive is that this was with the current codex, not 4th ed. In the same game a Hive Tyrant took out a squad of 20 or so Death Company, Mephiston, a 5-man Tac squad, another Librarian, and a Razorback. By the end of the game I almost felt sorry for my opponents.

I had a group of 5 GK Purgation Squad members w/ 4 Incn get out of their Land Raider Redeemer and kill a pesky Ctan the LR couldn't finish off but the only problem is I knew they were dead bc he had 2 full squads of Necron warriors there behind an Aegis Line.

Since the LR was behind a wall all the Necrons could shoot at was the Purgation Squad and so to save time he rolled both squads to hit and wounds at once and it came to 47 wounds on my 5 guys. Well a 100 pt unit killed a pricey shard at the price of their lives! Ohhhh but wait ..........

I rolled a huge pile o dice and made every save and on the the next turn the Redeemer and the Squad killed all 40 Necron warriors w/ lots of over lapping flamer templates.

I painted up a purity seal and put 1 on each of them and left that unit on the shelf. They were actually fielded again from a Storm Raven w/ a Melta Dread w/ Heavy and Flamer doom Fistvs Dark Eldar. They killed 2 full units of something Dark Eldar and haven't lost a man yet.

Purgation Squad out of a raven /w a dread is really nasty btw. The Raven gets close to any vehicle and pops it. The Dread can pop another and the purg squad w/ 4 Heavy Inc that can ignore LoS and cover mops up the troops.

Then if you need too you can assault but it hasn't come to that yet.

Most insane killstreak according to the expectations of most people on the internet?

Unbroken victory streak: Ten wins in a row across two editions with Sisters of Battle, white dwarf codex.

Most insane shenanigan?

Third edition, Eldar vs Imperial Guard, six Guard squads charge Karandras and some Storm Guardians, then all die to friendly artillery fire... except Karandras survives.

Yay one of these threads again!
Now let me think...
Killstreak:
In apoc (5th edition) I once had Ghazgkull take on first a Hive Tyrant, then 2 Carnifexes, then Maugan Ra, killing all of them 1 at a time.

Shenanigans:
I was playing a 3k points battle against my friends necrons. With ork shooting I managed to get his 20 man warrior squad to run (he rolled an 11).
They got within 10 inches of the board edge, I thought I was screwed cos he'd pass his morale and just gauss my orks into oblivion. He proceeds to fail his morale check at the beginning of his next turn, and they run of the board edge.
Same game, my 10 nobz and Ghazgkull charge 20 more warriors with Necron lord w. Mindshackle scarabs. I go full cheese, and issue a challenge with a basic nob to protect my valuable Ghazzy and PK nobz. He proceeds to whiff his attacks against my nob, and my nob whiffs his attacks against himself, I kill some warriors, they flee, and the next turn fail their morale check and run off the table.
I never knew necrons were such wussies.

I'd have to say farsight as well, but not with his overprice bodyguard bomb.

Farsight with 3x crisis suits (4 fusion blasters, 1 plasma rifle, flamer) with 4 drones (2 shield, 2 gun) - this unit regularly over performs against armies who fail to recognize the CC capabilities. They think I will shoot and then jump behind cover, only to find themselves being assaulted.

The units has wiped out many MEQ squads in 1 turn. Small terminator squads are also easy to bring down. Then there is those fusion blasters with target lock, they are quite consistent in taking out tanks from side armour shots.

It's probably my 10 man Eldar Guardian unit.
They have already killed 2 Daemon Princes and 1 Overlord.

Once against Imperial fists, I was playing Relic and got Ghazgkhul, 5 mega nobsz and Mad dok Grostnik to the relic by turboboosting in turn 1.

Long story short by turn 4 they were simply Grostnik and 1 meganob having already wiped out 10 assault marines and Lysander and 5 termies. (Ghaz was killed in the challenge but killed Lysander too)

These 2 orks then proceeded to fall foul of the 1 scalpel short of a medpack rule and were forced to assault squad after squad of marines, in each case surviving overwatch and higher initiative first blows, to continue on till turn 7 game end having without fail killed each squad and moved on. All the while holding the relic.

Mother of God...

As for me, i managed to take out 3 terminators with vanilla slugga boys, not really sure how i did that. But the dice gods seemed to have favored me that day!

I also managed to convince a land raider to play tag, as it had this compulsion to chase my orks which bailed out of a trukk it had destroyed, they ran around the wreckage, and the land raider went after them. I had a rather silly opponent... Overall i distracted the bugger for about 3 turns and glanced it a couple of times

This happened just yesterday actually :-)

My Autarch, who will now receive much history, a name, boss paint job and basing love went pure beast mode.

Autarch with Jetbike, shard of Anaris, fusion gun, banshee mask, phoenix gem. 205 pts of holy gak!!!

In a game vs tyranids, in which the warlord tyrant didn't get iron arm, I shot him with the autarchs fusion gun and stripped one wound. I then charged, got two rends through from the shard of Aanaris, kiling the tyrant instantly, before it could strike. I then consolidated away.
My opponents turn he charged my autarch with 5 gargoyles, now out of synapse range, I cut them down after a failed moral test and consolidated again.
I spied an opening next to a nearby tervigon, a 2"x3" space where there were no gaunts. Charge in with 5 attacks, wounding on a 2+ got me 5 wounds, my opponent figured he wouldn't make 5 3+ saves so just pulled the model. The resulting explosion killed 13 gaunts. I will never not take that model again XD the rage it caused!!!

The other day, I played a "1000" point game with a friend to teach him the game. I actually gave him around 1200. He was using 'Nids, I used GK. I has Draigo and some PAGK.
All the PAGK were dead by the end of the 3rd turn, but Draigo preceded to single-handedly kill everything left on the table.
Over the course of the game he killed:
The Swarmlord and 1 Tyrant Guard
1 Tervigon
1 Venomthrope
2 Zoanthrope
60+ Gaunts.
He stayed locked in CC for over 2 hours and my friend threw every single thing left on the table in CC.
Draigo killed the last Zoan with a single wound remaining.

In one game, I had the same bike command squad either sweep or route of the board 3 units in 3 turns (including a squad of honour guard, a CM, and a sternguard squad... made my day).

Anyone accomplished killing terminators with lasguns? I wonder if i could try that tomorrow..

I killed Logan Grimnar with a Laspistol one time.

I was playing a 12k Planetstrike game and in 1 turn I had a single Rhino tank shock 2 units of Fire Warriors and a full Broadside squad off the board and crush a Crisis Suit with Death or Glory (at the time that was about 400pts worth of Tau).

My Artillery crewmen killed more SM bikers than the big guns themselves.

To be honest, termies go down to lasguns simply through volumes of dice. For the price of 5 termies, you can put out over 100 lasgun shots at close range, and the results are pretty good. FRFSRF is the bane of my deathwing. (well, that and IG commander with power fists, I once had a DWK Squad with Belial taken out by a CCS with power fist and eviscerator priest thanks to some jammy invulns.)

Back in the days of 5th ed tau, I once had mephiston take out most of a tau army as the lone survivor of a 1500 army, by killing the etheral and making half of them run, and then him beating up the rest. I've also had astorath do similar things in a 750 point no-FOC game. It was him and a a squad of Sanguinary Guard, who promptly died, and then Astorath went mental and killed 600 points of tau on his own. Damn I miss his at-initiative S6 ignore saves axe from 5th ed.

I was welcoming someone to our flags. It became apparent, quickly, that he didn't know the game that well, so I tried to slough effectiveness.

In one round:
Snap shot a MM at an av12 building at 20 inches, instead of using the tac squad to tear apart a nearby Fire Warrior unit. Six to hit. Six to pen. Rolled 6 for the result too... Took out 7 FW and put a wound on a broadside in the explosion...

Another Tac squad, with my Captain, shot its plasma gun at an av13 instead of unloading on another nearby FW squad. One shot, glanced on a 6, and stripped its last hull point.

A third tac squad meltagunned an unwounded av13 tank at 10 inches.... And it exploded too.

All that was just my Tac squads, too :(

I tried, but there's just nothing I can do about that...

(Also, I only failed 4 3+s all game, and he failed all but a couple 4+s...)

I did it with grot blastas once. Full squad of Deathwing Terminators, just... dissolved.

I had a full squad of terminators w/ Pedro Kantor. Got hit by a lot of AP2. The first 9 guys failed their 5++s, the Cycloe guy then passed 15 5++s. He and Kantor then trashed 2 razorbacks, 3 assault squads, and were working on a dred when the game ended.

So, first game with the 6th edition Chaos Space Marine Codex, I'm playing against my Friend's Space Marines.

Chaos Lord- Mark of Slaanesh, Veteran of the Long War, Jump Pack, Power Fist, Lightning Claw, Sigil of Corruption

He was joined up with a Squad of MoS Raptors with an Icon of Excess.

Early in the Game Vulcan deep strikes near my lines and melta some stuff, Chaos Lord and retinue jump into him and he issues a challenge, Lord takes a wound from the Relic Blade but squishes Vulcan with his fist. Roll on the Boon table, Unworthy Offering.

The Group jumps over and mauls an attack bike with Lightning Claws.

My friend charges a unit of THSS Terminators with a Chaplin out of a Land Raider and into Lord + Raptors. Chaos Lord issues a challenge and the Terminator Sarge accepts, Lord passes 2 4++ saves and the Sarge fails a 3++. Raptors get butchered.

Roll on the boon table... Dark Apothesis. Chaos Lords ascends into a Daemon Prince, and is free from the combat as a result. He takes this opportunity to slaughter a tactical squad on an objective.

The Terminators + Chaplain catch up to him next turn and charge him again. Prince issues challenges while the Chaplain refuses and whittles down the Terminators over several rounds of combat. Eventually its just the Chaplain left and a pretty beat up DP. Smash the chaplain away.

Ultimately the beast was brought down by Meltas, but man did he make a mess of things!

I field Logan Grimnar, the best/coolest moment I can say was when it was Turn 7 or a Space Wolves vs Space Wolves battle for a Relic. I was down to my Long Fangs, my aegis and it's quad gun and my last group of Grey Hunters which consisted of 1 guy who was holding the relic and Logan who had joined the unit. if I held the relic then I would in the match. So I placed Logan in front of the other guy's land raider and Logan took on Meltas, Lascannon fire and hurricane bolter fire along with some fire from a razorback. He took it all on and I made all the INV saves and armour saves. Something that I should have failed by the pure number of it all. it as just awesome

Back in 3rd when necrons and daemonhunters were new, my GK grandmaster killed the Nightbringer, got lucky with a holocaust a bunch and killed two squads of warriors, went on to kill my friends wraiths and destroyers and forced him to phase out.

My best was a CSM Aspiring Champion with meltabombs vs a Dark Angels player with two Land Raiders (back in 5th).

Midway through the game, his squad charges one of the Land Raiders. He rolls a 6, sticks the meltabomb and blows the Land Raider up.

They then charge the other Land Raider. He rolls a 6, sticks the meltabomb and immobilises it. Next player turn, he hits automatically and blows it up.

From that day on he was known as Captain Meltabombs, and had a meltabomb glued to his side permanently. The funniest thing was, I bought one of the Land Raiders off the guy a few months later.

This weekend I had a single black knight take out 3 guard infantry squads and a platoon command squad solo.

WAY back in the day, old 4th edition Tyranids, I had a sinle Hormagant plow through two 10 men IG infantry squads one at a time and sweep both, then kill a Command squad.
