Overkill by inquisition is described as "A few exterminatus orders short of the minimal amount of firepower we bring to the foe".
Overkill by Tau is "I don't care, since they denied themselves the life that was given to them for the sole purpose of the Greater Good".
Overkill by Necrons is "11001010010101011111000010101110010101011110001010101111000000000000000111".
Overkill by Eldar is "If you're Chaos, then F#$@ you, you deserve it, if you are the other races, sorry we didn't see you".

**Arcsquad12**

There's no such thing as Overkill for Orks.

**koooaei**

There's only underkill for orkses.

Imperial Guard: Have we reached the planet's mantle yet with our artillery bombardment? Yes? Good. Another glorious victory for the Emperor.

Space Marines: WE HAVE DEFEATED THE ENEMEH! WE ARE THE EMPRAH'S FUREH!

Sisters of Battle: Ah, nothing quite beats the soothing scent of a burning planet.

Orks: Hmmm.... dat woz a pretty good 'splosion. BUT I BET WE CAN MAKE A BIGGA WUN!

**koooaei**

Dark Eldar: "...i think my wall of flesh needs a lawn of flesh".

From actual game of mine:
A squad of boyz pulling 30 wounds on a couple of guardsmen
Knight titan shooting and charging a squad of grots
Abaddon charging a lone bubblechukka

**locarno24**

Not quite the same thing, but playing an Imperial Knight army with my chaos helbrute/cultists list:

Knight Paladin Warlord charges a cultist unit. The cultist champion (who doesn't have a choice due to Champion of Chaos...) steps forward and issues a challenge!

"Really? Really, really?"

**Nevelon**

There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'I need to reload.'

Maxim 37, The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries
(but most of them work well for guard)

**lliu**

If Adeptus Sororitas, then "Ooooommm, ah, the noxious fumes of an exploding overheated planet".
If Orks then, "We need to make it more killy".
If Dark Eldar, then "Dammit you warrior, you managed to waste a clump of flesh again?!".
If Flesh Tearers, then "Grrrr... Why didn't you save some for me?"

More coming soon.

**Rysaer**

Tyranids: We only stop once we get to the gooey center... that gooey magma center.

**lliu**

Chaos "Huh?"
Imperial Fists "There, that should just be enough."
Blood Angels "For Sanguinius! *Charges into dead bodies and chops them up*"
Tyranids "To the next restaurant! Buffet style!"

**skarnalaxwarlord**

Chaos Marines: "We had nothing better to do"
Orks: "Betcha I kan make a bigga bomm 'den you"
Dark Eldar: "Is he finally dead? Yes? Then bring him back to life, I wasn't done with him"
Imperial Guard: "Modify our Warmonger Titan to carry all of our Deathstrikes on its back"

Those are good.

Just recently had a death company charge a single guardsman

who survived all the hammer o wraths.

Then died to a power fist

**Tiger9gamer**

I think overkill for an ork may just be a bunch of looted demolisher cannons making the largest landbased Deffgun and then using it on a guardsmen squad.

**Great White**

Overkill does not exist....in the grim dark of the 41st millennium, there is only war

What ? The Emperor isn't fighting?! How dare he!!!!

**CREEEEEEEEED**

All of you should know that as a real Ork you can never, ever have enough dakka, so there is no Ork overkill.
Nor is there an angry marines overkill. After all, kicking people in the nuts never gets old

**Engine of War**

Overkill is a term used by those (human, xenos or otherwise) who have the most extreame case of jealousy and inadequacy issues.

Otherwise there is no such thing.

Now get me more Tanks....

**EngulfedObject**

The D-Cannon.

If any available space in the universe and sub universe was filled with bullets

it would almost be enough dakka.

Last turn objectives man. The only time you would fire 6 lascannons at 2 cultists.

**HillyKarma**

Overkill is when Angron wrecks a titan this turn, then a squad of termies the next

**SharkoutofWata**

Tyranid overkill is when the prey gets pooped out before the Nid takes a Digestion Pool bath.

But I think the Dark Eldar specialize in overkill. Die in the Wyches Cult arenas and if the crowd likes you, you get dragged off to be revived, rebuilt and die again for their amusement. Nothing says overkill like killing them again and again on the blood soaked sands.

**leopard**

Ahh yes the ancient ork battlecry of 'yerwhatyerwhatyerwaht?"

No matter the firepower the noise can always be improved

**lliu**

I saw a tournie at my game-store last week, and I played in it. Got second, because I did a trash move. On the other hand, the most overkilling action I saw was when some guy's Titan assaulting some other guy's Pyrovore. WHO BRINGS PYROVORES TO THE TABLE?!?!?!?!?!

**ThatSwellFella**

Flesh tearers: Did we drown the ones who somehow survived our onslaught in the blood of the slain on top of them? Yes? Then proceed to RIP AND TEAR Through that PDF
Eldar: sorry for glassing your hive world monkeighs but if we didn't do it there was a slight stain of a chance that chaos uprising will occur there

**lliu**

Was playing Chaos with my SM last night in Apoc. My friend's Warhound Titan charged a scout. Then I used my Titan Warlord to destroy his Titan, then his Tyranid "allies" use their Hierophant to destroy my warlord Titan.

**Tigramans**

An overkill from the table?

Killed a squad of cultists with a Vindicator shell. It was still magnificent as heck to watch them turn into a crater.

**lliu**

Wahahaha! A Volcano cannon turned my opponent's Heirophant into a very large hole in the ground.

**jhe90**

Targeting a group of cultests with a emperor class titan arm mounted weapon?
