Back in early 5th i was at GM and one of the employees was giving me a game, i used 3 ork boys to take out a vanilla terminator squad of 5 in melee! much to the confusion of the rest of the store

Using scarabs, I once stripped a Riptide's armour save on the first wound he rolled for.

I once fought AGAINST Mephiston and he cost me 7 Kill Points in FIVE rounds.

Ridiculous in 5E

This award goes to my Contemptor Dread for my SW, from the day I first fielded and up to this day he has more or less been the hardets hitting thing I have ever fielded, he has killed more HQs, troops and transports than I ever imagied a lone dred being able to do.

My Vindicator fires at Ghazghkull and his merry band of nobs that just had to exit their battlewagon that blew up. I hit and land 7 wounds. He decides to take Look Out, Sir! for 3 of them and take 4 with Ghaz. Needless to say he failed every single 5++, thus losing 3 nobz and Ghaz. So, the Vindi killed over 300 points in one shot, ridding me of the most dangerous model the enemy had on the table. Good times.

Just had this happen to me the other day while playing a small point 1000pt. game with my new Eldar army. Since the player was somewhat new to the hobby I did not take a total jerk list but instead incoorperated a squad of Rangers with Illic for example. He is interested in playing Tau so he took a good chunk of Fire Warriors, some Broadsides and a single Riptide because he loves the model.

Needless to say top of turn 2 Illic shoots his Riptide, rolls a 6 to wound (which makes it rending if I am not mistake) and causes instant death. He fails his ward save and I shoot his full wound Riptide down in one shot!

so this one time at band camp..
always wanted to say that

was playing against ultramarines in 5th with my eldar was losing really bad one model left, dire avenger exarch but i should have had more faith in him
he slew 2 squads of 5 space marines winning me the game(annihalation bad spelling) opponent couldnt believe how well my exarch did
the model was unpainted so i painted him variations of gold as a reward for his prowness in battle

well i was uber happy when my war walkers survived all day without taking a single casualty at a tournament. of course i should probally mention how much damge they put out then, killing landraiders, rhinos, ghostarks, anhilation barges, riptides.... they got all the fun

4 10 man squads of Noise Marines, full sonics, playing against Space Wolves.

Over the course of 2 rounds, wiped out 4 squads of Grey Hunters and 3 squads of Long Fangs. Moved onto their Wolf Guard and Rune Priest next, leaving only razorbacks on the table.

While it will probably never happen again, it was the best 3 rounds of shooting in all my days of playing 40k.

One time twelve or so grots finished off a moderately wounded squad of termies, inducing apoplexy in the beakie player. The first few were lucky shots, but the last one got Grabba Sikked and... I'm assuming cooked alive by grot body heat?

My Wraithknight went to town against a Necron player, completing a full lap of the table, taking out a unit each turn.

Turn 1 - Triarch stalker loses it's only weapon and is immobilised.
Turn 2 - Ghost Ark Explodes
Turn 3 - Shoots & Assaults Large warrior squad with Imhotek. They fail leadership in my opponents turn, running off the table.
Turn 4 - I use the aforementioned Triarch Stalker to move farther with a successful charge, exploding it in the process.
Turn 5 - Shoot & Assault and explode a Monolith
Turn 6 - Assaults a Warrior squad on an objective, denying my opponent any objectives.

He started on my left flank, and ended up in my deployment zone, on my right flank. Missing a single wound.

Then there is my Fire Dragon Exarch, who is reknown for his overwatch shooting, but that's another story.

Nothing I ever do will top my 2nd ed shenanigans. With the codexless squats I needed more power. I needed jump squads and terminator squads. I made a battery of mole mortars and attached spotters. All hearthguard in exo armor (terminators) and hearth guard with jump packs. The rules contorted to my needs. I then discovered the broken combo. 4 guys fire special weapons... guy 5 throws a blind grenade 0 inches. I was 12 and quite a douch. I admit it.

In my last game against my brother's Blood Angels, I managed to net two Kill Points and remove a huge threat with my literal first shot of the game.

In my first shooting phase, my PBS targeted his Command Squad. These guys had jump packs, lots of explosives, and the Sanguinary Guard load out (2+ armor and lots of H2H shenanigans I believe), and would've easily chewed through everything I had to offer. Using Soulstorm, the 9-man PBS passed their Warp test, put the blast directly on the Commander, and rolled a 1 for the AP value. Strength 9, AP1, Large Blast on every member of the Command Squad. Every member took a wound. And every member was removed, including the Commander who failed his Invulnerable Save. One shot, two Kill Points for First Blood and Slay the Warlord. Some incredibly lucky rolling on my part but it was totally worth the look on his face.

The game went back and forth afterward, but he never recovered from the psychological aspect of removing his pride and joy due to some cover-camping chumps and their mind bullets.

Saw some grots shoot down an avatar once.

Dat.

That's nothing. I saw Grots take down a Carnifex. In melee.

That should be impossible?

S2 vs T6.

Allies. Managed to get Enfeeble off.

I just finished a game against Eldar. Turn 4, my Chimera, which has no troops inside anymore, all weapons destroyed, and only a single hull point left, tank shocks a unit of warp spiders.

They fail their leadership and run off the table.

The Emperor loves him some Chimeras.

I once had a PK boyz nob kill a Daemon Prince in PA. In a challenge. Without dying

My TH/SS Terminators with an IH CM with AI and BB won me a game, by stomping War Walkers, a D-cannon artillery battery, and a big blob of guardians with Fuagen (however it's spelled). My backfield also held very well, giving that 6 man group time to ground and pound those Eldar.

I had 1 10 man squad of noise boys survive 3 rounds of guard punisher shooting on 2 loaded russes...pcannon, hvy bolters, stubber

192 shots...5 dead

Same game my cultist boss had to challenge Yarrick...won initiative, killed him, rolls a Demon Prince transformation

It was a pretty 1-sided game

My record is back in 3rd, my orks with looted basilisk vs chaos.

He had 4 rhinos all paired up in the corner and the rest of his daemons were floating around in reserve, I fired and annihilated (all occupants dead) all 4 rhinos, winning the game in a single shot.

Two weeks ago in a tournament, in a necron vs necron fight, I had a unit of 10 scarabs (150pts) take out a Monolith, a CCB, the IA special overlord on the CCB, and the final 4 bases finished off a unit of necron warriors. All in all, over 600pts for that one unit of scarabs.

In the next round of the tournament, they were gunned down like dogs by a unit lootas and didn't actually kill anything.

Having a single boltgun hit ground a flying hive tyrant with FNP and wound it twice. On the first Tactical Squad that shot at it.

5th ed barebones Codex SM Librarian beating a Chaos Lord with bloodfeeder in CC.

Beating 5 lightning claw Deathwing Termies with 6~ Grey Hunters, Prescience and a Rune Priest with sword in CC.

I had a SAG Big Mek roll double sixes on a pie plate over half of a Draigowing Deathstar, Draigo included.

'No, no invulnerable saves.'

His face.

Back in 5th ed, I was playing a large Tau army vs a space marine/IG army. A squad of 6 stealth suits charged and clobbered 2 ten man scout squads and a ten man tac squad (admittedly after shooting the hell out of them) and went on to gun down a Space Marine chapter master and his honor guard, suffering only one casualty themselves.

And as far as shenanigans go, I once killed Vulcan Hestan with a Gun Drone in cc

My power fist Sergeant getting assaulted by a group of 10 Wyches on the third turn.

He manages to survive till the fifth and final turn alive, absorbing whopping 16 wounds total like a boss, while insta-killing Wyches, one at a time.

In that day, both opponents, friends, and few guys as an audience cheered every time he successfully survived Wyches' punishment.

Nowadays, he's a captain.

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?

I had a unit of 10 necron warriors supported by a nearby ghost ark tar pit a chaos lord kitted out for CC from the 2nd turn on. I kept even though I lost every combat, I kept making the assault result break tests and resurrection protocols and the ghost ark kept adding in warriors that didn't resurrect. He'd kill two or three a turn for 5 turns and I kept getting back up to full unit strength and making those assault results break tests.

I love the Noise Boiz. 24" 3 shots. So in 3 turns, you fired ... uhm, carry the one ... 360 shots. My friends hates just my 15 man squad, I can't imagine what your opponent thought of your situation! One of my best times, an Assault Marine 10 man squad made the mistake of CHARGING my Noise Marines. My aspiring champion got to kill the Sergeant, the only remaining model, Gaining EW. Yeah, useless gift, but it was entertaining.
