This is a story I still have fun telling even almost a year of having it. I was learning the ropes with another beginner. Bare minimum FoC to make it easier; 1 HQ, 2 Troops and one of choosing from fast attack/elites/heavy support. DA vs CSM - had all of my beginner battles with this fellow, was a lot of fun. I had a ML3 MoT sorc, he had an ML2 librarian. First of all, my bare squad of bikes charged his deathwing squad and were locked in a stalemate for the rest of the game after my champion knocked his for six in a challenge. THEN, literally every time we set off a psychic power on either side, we managed to roll and successfully deny the witch. The icing on the cake though, was when a whittled down squad of CSM that numbered less than 8 without their champion (made my leadership by a hair's length) charged his Librarian; IIRC I got about 16 attacks. He rolled for armour saves.... and every die landed on a two. The chances of this happening were so infinitesimally small that it was for all intents and purposes impossible. His eyes went wide and me and a friend started pissing ourselves laughing. My CSM pistol-whipped the Librarian to oblivion and got me Slay the Warlord. I won on killpoints which was lovely.

Got two.
1) We were playing small patrol games with 250pnts 1 hq and 1 troop. I took a chaplin as my hq. This day it was DA vs Demons. after turn 2 my Chappy and a single marine was all that was left vs a full str screamer squad and Chairot of T. The Chariot charges the afiorementioned chaplin you over watched with his plasma pistol. Deals a wound. In combat his crozious blows up the chariot and the rider fades into the warp. The last 3 turns are spent denying the heathen screamers. i end up in close combat and end up killing the full squad.

The 2nd was Tau vs Eldar. I had brought a unit of Crisis with dual pods and VT as the eldar player ran a corsairs list with flyers. This squad took out every flyer to come on the board as well rout 2 dire advenger sqauds that charged them. To top the the cake on the last turn the Eldar player sent a Wave Serpant to get line breaker. The crisis where having none of this can charged the Serpant. Hitting with all the HOW attacks and penning glancing it to death. The story was they shoulder tackled it and flipped it over.

I had a Scout Squad whittled down to one Scout with a sniper rifle by turn 3. He'd managed to get into cover behind a defence line within capture range of an objective, and I had him go to ground every turn for that tasty 2+ cover save. My only other surviving model was Saint Celestine, who finished off a mob of Ork Boyz with one wound left by turn 5 or 6. My opponent had 2 small units of Lootas, a Big Mek with SAG, a mob of about 15 Ork Boyz, and 2 Killa Kanz. She poured most of her army's fire at the Scout for the rest of the game, getting a crapton of wounds, but he made every save. The amount of fire that was aimed at him should have torn that Defence Line to shreds by all rights. Celestine, on the other hand, after finishing off the Ork Boyz, made a go at the remaining Ork Boyz, only to take the Nob's Slugga to the head as she failed one armor save and lost her last wound.

Still won the game, though, because that objective the Scout was on was worth 4 points, the one the Boyz held was only worth 3. Both Warlords were dead. I'd gotten First Blood. And neither side had any scoring or denial units in their opponent's deployment zone.

The odds of that Scout surviving as many wounds as he did is something like 1-2 in 1,000.

Nasty Nob





United States

A squad of cybork boyz were targeted by two LR redeemers. Only the Nob in the group survived the Flamer fire and Autocannon shots. In the next turn the lone nob assaulted a Land Raider, barely making the charge (my oppenent may have given me a tenth of an inch or so) and destroyed the land raider rolling a 6 to pen and a 5 to Destroy with his powerklaw. This was while my other two trukk boy units were stuck watching a challenge.

In the following turn my opponent decided to move his other Land Raider and get stuck on some terrain. He repaired the immobilized result with his Techmarine but was forced to deal with me annoucing three assaults at the top of the next turn. The same nob that destroyed the first Land Raider managed to roll, again, a 6 to pen and a 5 to destroy the second land raider. Regardless of the other unit's nob rolling a glance and Mad Dok rolling a Pen, the nob had single handedly destroyed two Land Raider, in a unit by himself.

It was a kill point mission that I lost at turn 5 with no chance for turn 6. My opponent was forced to split his techmarine from two initiates and feed them to me while his Techmarine fled. The game score was 7 to 8 my opponent had one model left (the techmarine) who dodged two wounds from the only trukk I had that didn't die in the turn 1 shooting.

A single Fire Warrior killed a Callidus assassin in close combat...

This was in a previous edition. The assassin jumped out of one of my fire warrior squads and used their weird flame template weapon to eliminate everybody except the lone shas`ui (sergeant).

The poor fire warrior passed his leadership test and stood by to await his destruction in the assault phase. By some miracle the assassin missed on every attack.

Then I struck back with 2 attacks. Rolled some fire. Got both to hit and wound, then the other player failed both saves. So much for that assassin. The remaining fire warrior continued to hold the midfield objective for the rest of the game.

That guy got the "shiny bronze helmet award" (i.e. I painted him up special so I'll never forget).



Im glad to see this thread still going, and I am also very glad to see other people do things like this as well, I often adorn my wolves who do cool things with extra totems, or paints. one of my WGT has a Golden helmet, golden claws and a Golden leg piece because of his part in removing more than half of an opponents HQ and elite choices from the table in one match.

This was back in 4th edition, I think. I had a Librarian decked out: Terminator armor, storm shield, melta bombs, force weapon, Gate of Infinity, and Vortex of Doom. I was fighting against my friend's Tau list. For whatever reason (can't remember) my librarian was alone in the middle of the table and the Tau do their old "Fishes of Fury" nonsense that everyone used to hate, about 9 inches in front of the Librarian. Librarian makes every single save from the Fire Warrior gunline plus the Devilfish weapon systems and the combined might of the entire Cadre, basically. Didn't take a single wound despite being the sole target of all shooting that round.

My turn comes up, and I fire a Vortex of Doom at one of his transports. It scatters in such a perfect way that the center hole of the small blast template is perfectly over both Devilfish in the formation. Roll to penetrate and I get a 6 on each. I roll on the vehicle damage table and I get a 6 on each. I roll to see how big the explosion is.... double 6, again. I roll to wound against his fire warriors, and I wound every single one of them, with the explosion. My Tau friend fails all his armor saves. Wiped out two full squads of Fire Warriors and their transports with a single attack.

Then it's my friend's turn again. He tries to tank shock my Librarian. I go for Death or Glory with the meltabombs, and the Librarian gets squished. Removed from play.

IIRC, it took down a Carnifex, two or three Killa-kans and couple of tanks. All by himself. With that Plasma Gun.

I've just remembered another WTF moment. This time it doesn't involve Cultists... well, at least not directly.

So, another 2v2, CSM & Necrons vs. Tyranids and DA. I had very stupidly sacrificed my Terminators and the Terminator Lord to a horde of Hormagaunts, Termagants and their Tervigon mommy, but that's another story. Then, a MoS Dark Apostle and his squad of 20 CC Cultists come and wipe out the Termagants (charge+Hatred). Tervigon joins the engagement next turn and challenges, which I obviously have to accept.

For the next 3 full turns (that is, 6 CC phases), my Dark Apostle manages to pass every single Invulnerable Save, and thanks to Hatred and the mob of Cultists cheering on him, manages to inflict 4 wounds on the Tervigon until the end of the game. After hearing so much about this guy being trash, imagine my surprise at this as that was the first time I used him in a game.

Just for giggles, what are the odds of getting hit by a meteorite?


Yourself getting struck? Unknowable due to the crazy size of Earth's surface area, the lack of real quantifiable data on how many meteors land everyday, and the inability of some country's to report such incidents with clarity.

To give some perspective though, NASA lost control of a satellite last year while trying to throw it into a decaying orbit. Instead of it burning up in the atmosphere, a sizable chunk (a few tons!) was guaranteed to survive and hit the earth... somewhere though they couldn't predict where. They put the odds on it hitting the ocean (which it did) high, but they chanced it hitting a person/vehicle/building/road at 1 in 100,000. Super scary considering it could have happened.

Initial widespread internet search puts a guess of your house getting struck this year at 1 in 3.9 trillion.

Given the number of annual lightning strike victims, annual chance of being struck is 1 in 280,000.

Keep in mind, odds like these are calculated with the assumption of one "die roll" per year. You cast the die to determine if you get struck this year. The odds I gave in my earlier post were based on rolling one dice roll of 16 d6's at any given time. Being table top gamers we increase our odds of seeing these crazy outcomes because we have increased the times we roll the dice.

Being super technical, you probably got struck by a meteor once in your life. Tiny meteors (size of sand particles) land all the time. Chemical composition tests show they are lunar material, and not just the normal dirt we see. If you lay a box with white paper in the bottom on your roof (BE CAREFUL) and get clear weather for a week or two, you stand a decent chance of finding a lunar meteor in it.

A vindicator blast aimed at a war walker squadron scattering the full 12" (8") and taking a wound off a wraithlord, blowing up an allied (to the eldar) landraider and 3 of its 5 occupants failing their saving throws.

A scout sargeant armed with mbs and power sword (and his squad for a short while) destroying a wave serpent, its fragon squad the next turn, sweeping a guardian squad the next turn, destroying an allied dreadnought the next turn and then immobilizing a serpent for lemartes to take out at the end, whilst being the only model left standing of mine alongside a wounded and enraged lemartes. There were 2 serps and a drop pod left that were impossible to catch (apart from the pod obviously) in a 'to the death' match, so I conceded rather joyfully at this point.

Combat Jumping Tiger Soldier






Great Falls, MT

My Riptide getting charged by Necron Lord with MSS and Lychguard sword and board. I managed to fail my leadership to MSS round one but causing no wounds, turn two I passed my leadership and killed two Lychgurad. 3rd round failing leadership no wounds. Combat went on like this for a few game turns until it was my Riptide and the Lord with his Lord managing to finish off my Riptide only to turn into a fusillade of Pulse Rifle fire.

Internet claims that Halflings suck.
The first time I saw them played they took out my Sammael in 2 turns of shooting...

With the old WD SOB codex I was fighting Necrons and I had a squad of necrons I've been shooting at all game but the guy kept rolling fantastic for resurrection. It was getting annoying. Then, the last turn of the game I used the one faith point I had on the squad thinking "well, it couldn't hurt in case I roll a few 1's, not like I'm going to kill that dang squad."
I roll all 20 or so shots and I swear at least 15 of them were 1's. My opponent started laughing and I reminded him that I get to re-roll 1's. I re rolled and rolled amazing and he rolled crappy and wiped his whole squad off the table. I won the game by one victory point. One stupid Act of Faith saved my bacon.

In another game I had St. Celestine duel a Necron Lord and their duel lasted four rounds until the end. Neither of them could kill the other. I can't decide if it was a durp fight or fething awesome.

In my time playing tau back in 3rd and 4th, I never killed a land raider with a rail gun. Ever. Keep in mind this is back when all rail guns were S10 AP1.

The closest I ever got was in 3rd when I had pinned down a DA land raider turn 2, immobilizing it with my broadsides, and by the end of the game it was shaken, stunned, down to just the TL heavy bolter, but still very much alive. My broadsides had been firing at it all game too.

In a later game (old cityfight system) I was running units of single broadsides and my opponent managed to kill two of them in one turn, with a land raider using potms to split the shots on the lascannons.

One time I was watching the Emperor's Champion duke it out with a Space Marine Captain with TH/SS. This was back when the Champion was AP3.

Hits with all his attacks, wounds with all his attacks. I go to the other guy "Bet you'll roll 3 one's."


And he does, the Terminator Lord rolls three ones and soundly dies. Needless to say I had to run away really fast from that
