I think my funniest was 120 lasgun (orders and rapid fire) shots taking out 5 termies. Only just.

Funniest was Fate weaver getting shot on a 6 with a las gun, wounded on a 6 with a las gun, failed save on a 1, rerolled into a 1, then took a grounding test on a 1, faty rerolled into a 1 and failed the save, then promptly died.

Same game final turn warp storm poops out a instability test and tables my opponent for me

Saint Celestine being shot down in some ruins.

She resurrects with 1 wound (note, this was the old Celestine who got up with d3 wounds)

Jumps out of the ruins.

Blows her dangerous terrain test, dies again.

I just am imagining a bird hitting a window.

Recently exploded a friend's biker Libby on 3d6 Leadership into a Herald. He promptly shot him next turn, but it was still cool.

The last game I played ended up with a badly mangled LR driving in circles around an objective fleeing from my single, very annoyed Obliterator, after it had taken three hull points off it, two of them with it's power fist.

Other highlights were a GK dreadnought killing itself casting Sanctuary, and my sorcerer managing to injure himself with Perils and then scattering a maximum strength Tzeentch's Firestorm back into his face in the same psychic phase.

Killing Fateweaver with 4 rough riders everybody in the store went nuts.

Sisters vs Space Marines. By the bottom of turn 3, all that is left on the board is my Exorcist and my opponent's Scout Sniper.

What then proceeds is three turns of the scout that will not die, and the exorcist that can't be penetrated.

Well, my librarian was murdered at almost point blank with a vanquisher cannon... Still won the game... had plonked scouts in a bunker (2+ beacuse of camo cloaks). Even a battle cannon couldn't move them. Another one, SM vs Tau, took out devilfish with EDIT a Plasma Cannon, all bar 1 FW s died. My Librarian with boltgun just rapid fired him to death, rolling all 6s.

Was playing mirror mech eldar back in 5th.

Both of us had Eldrad seer council in a wave serpent.

He gets T1, rolls Perils twice, fails both Ghosthelm saves.

Turn 2, he tries to get off Fortune again, gets Perils again instead, fails save one last time -- Eldrad dies to Perils.

That's one way to win a mirror match!

5th edition, I had a Blood Angel terminator die against a Tau shield drone. 'Twas harsh.

And the funnier thing? The Guardsmen actually came out ahead in terms of points committed versus points killed.

Pfft thats nothing!
I had a shield drone kill a grey knight terminator

DE archon and incubi retinue losing combat and fleeing from pink horrors. Couldn't manage to run them down for maximum lolz though.

Watching a fresh baneblade scatter back onto itself, rolling sixes, again, and again... Blowing itself and 2 friendly chimeras and A significant chunk of the vets inside. Epic backfire

A single Triarch praetorian passed insane heroism and proceeded to take on 5 Wraithguard, wrecking an unscathed wave serpent and killing the 5 Wraithblades + Spiritseer inside (I think that's what they were called?).

Insanely heroic indeed.

1st edition regular Saturday battle at the local GW. 20-30 players each with a single infantry squad. A mate of the manager turned up with a Rhino, Predator and Land Raider.. of course being the only vehicles they soaked up every Missile the opposite side had, they made it halfway across the table before the Predator took a control hit and collided with the Rhino.. the ref had the players dice off and interpreted the result as the Predator mounting the Rhino, smashing off its guns and breaking its own tracks, whilst the weight broke the Rhino's suspension leaving both vehicles immobilized with the Predator sat on top. The Land Raider lasted another turn before it suffered a control hit which caused it to spin firing at random targets for a turn or two before it blew up..

Once a played a game were the opponent was using a cheesy list that took 3 or so turns to kill everything in my army except for 3 tactical marines being charged by a squad of CSM with a Lord and Apostle.

I managed to hang on for TWO turns after that before I got tabled.

Back in 3rd edition I ran over an Avatar of Khaine with a Rhino. I can't even really remember how the rules for tank shock worked back then at this point, I just remember my opponent opting not to jump out of the way because he didn't think it could harm his avatar in any way, but it definitely killed him.

A monolith chaseing after a single guardsman trying to suck it up through it's door while both units ran around a wrecked tank.

Anuy time a shot scatters behind the thing that fired it, the best being a PC Devastator who scattered backwards, killed the other 4 members of his squad, survived himself and was left standing and wondering what the feth just happened.

A weaponless Land Speeder going Flat Out (5th Ed) to Ram a Russ in its rear armour, only for the Russ to emerge unscathed and the Speeder to blow up!

My opponent's Crisis Commander and Bodyguard unit (about 250-ish points, I believe) scattering off the table when DSing and rolling a 1 (Destroyed) on the Mishap table... twice in consecutive games. The next time, he walked them on...

So many times, my Ravening plasma-bikers coming on from Outflank, only to lose at least 1 if not both Plasmas in a 3-bike squad to Gets Hot on their first salvo.

A Lone Wolf with no weapon upgrades (and old Mark of the Wulfen) gnawing the arm of a Dreadnought!

Njal rolling 2 powers on his first turn, Perils-ing on both, leading to some confusion about whether I could get Slay The Warlord for exploding my own commander

During a narrative game: Ork trukk with 1 HP left rams an immobilized razorback with 1 HP left, and both get wrecked.

The numerous times Mephiston has committed suicide by gets hot on his plasma pistol, even through his 2+ armor.

First time I showed off a 5e 13-pod list full of fragiosos/blender-noughts, assault marines, and gabe seth with a command squad, my only casualty in the game was seth himself, who challenged a nob and epic failed.

Another 5e game where I was doing great, Dante squad is about to charge a DE raider. (Dante is at 1 wound due to tanking a lot of poison last round.) Knight paladin shoots at another nearby raider, and scatters over to Dante's squad, killing everyone but him. The knight and Dante both charge their respective raiders. The knight blows his up first, and the max range explosion clips dante and takes his last wound off.

One of the best is having a lone gun drone suicide into the other guy's warlord (some SM thing, can't think of the name off the top of my head), in an effort to protect some fire warriors, and it ended up taking it out! Just the chance that it survived is super low, but too take out the guy as well was priceless.

I remember some situations.

1. Chaos Daemons vs old Black Templars. Already 7th player turn, score was 1-1. I only had a unit of 3 pink horrors and some daemonettes on the other side; he had Helbrecht and some marines near the horrors. It was the last charge to be done: if he kills them, the game would end 2-0 for him. If my pink horrors survive, it would end 1-1. To make things worse, I rolled a 4 on the warp storm table... so a puny 6++ (I'd be able to re-roll 1s, but the chances were minimal).

He charges. Doesn't hit with everything (whew), and luckly causes only 3 wounds. All he needs was 1 dead horror and I'd surely get swept off. I pick my dice, pray to Tzeentch and cast them.



2. First time playing new Tau against Imperial Guard. Veterans with a Lord Commissar (his Warlord) equipped with a power fist and down to 1W. He charges a unit of Firewarriors and challenge my Shas'ui. I accept just for the fun of it. I still attack first (glorious I2), hit, wound and he fails his save... Slay the Warlord.

That Shas'ui is now called Tau McLane

3. My Tau (with basically everything from IA3, even the tower Troops) against Dark Eldar with 12 Lances. He gets first turn, fires all those lances... and only hit 4. From those, he manages to do a GLANCING hit against my TX-42 Piranhas (AV 11). He was so flabbergasted he rage-quitted on the spot, hehe.

Well, two games ago...

An Imperial Knight charged my Infantry Platoon of about 30 guys, and a priest. They were spread thinly across a ADL, and when the Knight came in and crushed some of my guys, they slowly formed a conga line of doom. Seriously, a single-file line of death to the Knight, with my custom priest cheering them on whilst slightly out of line. Every turn, the knight would mulch 5-8 guardsmen, and they'd just move up. Well...after 2 turns, my priest got stomped, and then they got crushed after a failed leadership test.

Watching 2 Drones off a Devilfish chase an Ulthwe Seer Council off the table.

Watching my Callidus hold back over 1800 points of Eldar by herself.

Old belial taking out 5 DP over the space of 5 games in 5th, 1 soulgrinder, 3 battlesuits, that khorne chariot thing, old 130pt belial was amazing for his cost, now he is overpriced poo

Recently seeing a Solitaire manage to kill a Titan and not only that the explosion from that Titan managed to kill the other Titan involved in the game and the Solitaire came away like nothing had happened. Hilarious and shows that Solitaires are ridiculous lol

First game in 10 years, Tau vs. Chaos Marines. Two full squads of fire warriors unleash into a squad of Khorne Berserkers.

I hit two, wound one. Berserker makes armor save with a 6.

Berserkers charge, kill the first squad to a man in one glorious round, turn to the second.

Remaining Tau warriors back up and fire. No hits. Berserkers charge, kill everyone in the Tau squad but the Shau'si. He rolls a 2 for his leadership test.

Locked in H-2-H, I issue a challenge. Berserker accepts. Somehow, the Tau kills the Berserker. The rest of the Beserkers fail their morale check. Single Tau runs them down.

"That'll learn 'em!" he shouts before retiring from the field.

Running Joke: My son, who runs the aforementioned Chaos Marines, has terrible luck with deep striking his Terminators. Three games in a row, they failed to show up for the entire battle. We "forged the narrative" they were away having beer & pizza back at HQ while the fight raged on. ("Hey, Matt - those guys getting killed on TV looked a lot like our brothers. What's the chances?" "Oh - snap. That reminds me, the commander sent us orders earlier. It's got some numbers on it, like co-ordinates or something...")

Finally, in a game with me playing Tyranids, my Mawloc at first fails to show up when Deep Striking. We "Forge the Narrative" he's delivering Pizza to the terminators. Next turn the Terminators arrive from Deep Strike, as does the Mawloc - except the Terminators scatter off the board and are destroyed. Once again, we "Forge the Narrative"...

Mawloc: "Knock, Knock."
Chaos Terminators: "Must be the Pizza guy, I'll get it."
Mawloc: "LANDSHARK!!! Nom! Nom!"
*Poof* Mawloc arrives at battlefield.
Mawloc: "Mmm. Need more canned meat. C'mere Khorne Flakes..."
