Because of stories like this on dakka, I always to a "Fatquake test" before a game. I dont care where the table is at, i check it.

I think the guy rolling every single save one at a time takes the cake. Especially since he apparently mastered the art of rolling dice to land on 5's and 6's.
A friend of mine rolled 5 1's for his TH/SS Terminators Invul saves once against my Paladins. That single round of melee ended the game. Anyone who played Paladins or Nob Bikers frequently in their heyday should have plenty of stories about them laughably bouncing off all attacks and never dying as they rampaged around devouring every poor bastard in sight.

My old GW was near a used video game store (GameStop) so people would come in thinking we sold video games.
Same GW, it was in a building with other stores on each side. One was for shoes and Starbucks was the other. Anyway, on Saturdays with the mega games, each side had to yell WAAAAGGGHHHH at the top of our lungs. Who ever yelled the loudest, got the first turn. We were so loud that you could hear us in the stores next
Fought a guy who's guardsmen was painted silver and gold. Ya, the cloth was silver. Took camo cloaks as a doctrine during 4th edition.
Same GW, someone smelled of pot so the store smelled like pot. Some mom called the cops saying we were smoking pot. Cops showed up with drug sniffing dogs. We were taken outside while they did the search. Guy who smelled of pot got arrested for having a brick of pot in his gaming bag. Side note: one of the cops got into 40k after this search.

A female friend of mine came down into the club and excitedly came over to say hi. She then told me she'd just gotten herself pierced... down below... and asked if I wanted to see. I said sure- I was working as a bouncer at the time and she was a stripper I escorted when she went to private shows so I imagined I'd see it sooner or later- but no. She hopped up on the neighbouring table, lifted her skirt and showed myself and my opponent. Completely threw me and my opponent. She asked what I thought, smiled and wandered off to see other friends at the club.
Perhaps she was enticing some potential customers?

I had my mother visiting and she knows the game exists, not much more. Around turn 3 we're measuring the distance from a wave serpent to my squad of daemonettes, I'm saying he's out of range and he's saying he thinks he's in. There's a lot of terrain in the way that's all being critically used so we don't really want to move it. My mom walks up grabs the wave serpent and starts admiring the paint job while were talking. Sets it down and grabs another piece of terrain off the table. Then goes, "Oh those should probably stay put huh. Nice paint job."
We both looked at eachother like wtf just happened. Our argument is invalid. This was all about a month ago.
Or another buddy was super proud of putting his stormraven and formation together for our match. Throughout the night he knocked it clean off the board roughly 4-5 times hahaha it held together remarkably well though.

I had a hilarious thing happen with the sniper drone spotter and a flyer (I forget what those things are called, I'll look it up later). I had nothing else I could really do that turn so I shot my spotter's pulse pistol at the flyer. I hit (1/6). I rolled for penetration. A 6 (1/6). I rolled o\on the damage table. Another 6 (1/6). I destroyed a flyer with a pulse pistol. What fun, and a 1/216 chance.

2000 point game, I was playing against a Vanguard Tyranid list, (this was years ago, right after nids came out for 5th edition.)
I had Dante and an Honor Guard with JP in a Stormraven, I had Dante jump out with his guard, the stormraven moved ahead, spewing dakka, then, the Genestealers assaulted it... It exploded, however, the dice gods had my back, that one stormraven took 3/4 of the Genestealer squad with it... lol.
Eventually, I won, at heavy cost... the other Storm Raven blew up, took the Broodlord with it though, At the end of the game, all I had left were 5 Assault Marines and Dante. lol

My wife treated me to playing a game together as a birthday present; one of the intro games. She's never played before and has zero interest of playing again. Despite thoroughly trouncing me.
She was aobr marines, I was orcs.
My hoys charged her dread. 6, 6, 6 - its immobilised. I killed it in ensuing turns. Her captain finished the boys off single handedly.
The objective was to get my warboss off the other side of the table. I got to within 1 inch away, before her captain (bleeding and on his last wound) crawls through the dirt and headshots my warboss, taking him out.
A massively fun game and one that I hope to repeat one day! Automatically Appended Next Post: OT, I was introducing my dad to the game in store, when a bunch of girls run up to the door and yell VIRGINS at the top of their voice before running off.
I just managed to yell "remind your mum I won't be fething her tonight, the rash still hasn't gone yet" before they were totally out of ear shot.

I remember watching one game where a dude just picked up and chucked his models as they were removed as casualties.
I also once played against a Tyranid horde army where my opponent kept rolling one at a time! There was probably visible smoke coming out of my ears. I kept telling him there was no reason for him to do that but he kept doing it! It was in a tournament too but I won that round so I luckily didn't have to complain much to the TO.

A few years back i was playing my Skaven against Orks in my GW.
I had my classic slavebomb unit-70 slaves arrayed in 14 ranks and they where charged by a Gorbag Ironhide and his unit of DA IMORTALZ!
To this day that epic conflict has never been repeated to my knowledge, but my slaves held the unit up for three turns and killed over half of them before they eventually failed a moral check and the pathetic remnants of the slave unit went off.
I still lost the game, but it was an epic.

I was playing in same bookstore that had the infamous "fatquake" for a summer event, Fantasy this time - group of players all doing a linked scenario thing. I was using my Empire Army vs a kid's Orcs. His friend stopped in and I guess my opponent was trying to get his friend into Warhammer Fantasy. The friend leans down and yells "WAAAGH" right above the unit of Black Orcs and a big stream of drool falls out of his mouth on the kid's models.
I start laughing and the two get in a big slap fight. I break it up and get them settled down but for the entire two hours, the kid would grumble "I can't believe you slobbered on my orcs!". Every time he'd grumble, I'd start laughing, and smacks would get exchanged again. I felt like an orc boss breaking up animosity all game.
I lost cause I couldn't stop laughing and concentrate.

Once, some friends and I were playing in my Tiny apartment, and the ex-wifes cat knocked over a lamp in the bedroom (that i had turned on to get the army and table out of). It was a High efficency bulb, one of the curly jobs. Little did I know those can be quite a fire hazard if the bulb is chipped while powered on. So the cat books outta there and the lamp is laying on the carrpet shooting fire out of the top. I ran in there and snatched the lamp up and ripped the cord from the wall and stomped the fire out, the crazy part was that my friend started grabbing his models by the handful and tossing them into his backpack. He was fully prepared to let me burn and save his models. You learn something new about your friends everyday.

Years ago playing AD&D where we got extra xp for staying character. It was storming bad outside. The store had three gaming groups playing that night
ME: I cast a darkness with "Klaatu barada nikto"
As i finished it all the lights went out in the store and out in the streets leaving us in pitch black darkness
GM amn the lights are out well we will have to finish
ME: (joking) No I will not back away from the fight I cast light "Let there be light"
The moment I finished the lights returned. The other 2 gaming groups cheered
I received a high amount of in-character xp that night
I could not have got that timing right even if I could try that again

That is an awesome way to deal with an annoying occurance.
I apparently seem to play games only safe and stable locations with mostly sane people. The only real story I have is of a total stranger saying to me and my opponent, "You guys don't date much do you?". I looked to my wife who was currently sitting on my left, and then responded, "No I don't. My wife really kind of frowns on me doing any dating." Left the guy flumoxxed apparently that some gamer geek could be married. The younger player I was facing had yet to kiss a girl, honestly, but my commentary saved his dignity as well.
