Which of your Models performed as a pseudo nuke?
Mine was my Phantom Titan in a recent Apocalypse Game.
Shot his starcanon and missile launcher at the reaver Titan from my opponent, bringing down all voidshields.
Two Phantom pulsars follow.
Eight Hits Strength D Hit, i Roll 3 sixes, 1 Five,3 fours one three.
Causing 35 hp Damage.
Opponent Rolls, Titanic Explosion.
Big Template strength D all around.
Killing nearly 50 guardsmen guarding the titan, several Tanks, and an aquila strongpoint.
Strongpoint gets wrecked by strength D.
Warlord hiding in strongpoint is Instant killed.
Opponent looks, and simply goes outside to have a smoke.

What was your best experience?

Attack bike with mm hitting a stormraven, blowing it up with its crew of assault marines. 450 points went kaput.

Chosen with a Melta hit a LR, exploding hit, wounding all the guys inside ( 10 UM Honour guards dude with their artificer armours...) with the explosion, 7 died, Kharn+the chosen assaulted and killed the 3 remaining and the Chapter Master.

Ohter game, other time, Kharn+CHosens make a pincher attack with my JuggerAxelord +Khorne Bikers on a 10 man DW Termie squad + Belial.

One CC phase later, there is no Termies left.

Kharn took out Belial, Juggerlord got 10 A with the Axe, killed 8 Termies, then the Bikers+Chosens killed off the 2 remaining.

well i had a single necron take out a land raider...

Last game I played I got kharn the betrayer into combat with a warhound Titan which he stripped of every single hull point in one turn of combat. The following turn he got a charge off on a Dreadknight and killed it in one, before finally getting insta gibbed by a land raider. 1000 points removed by a single 160 point character, not to shabby!

32 hp to a rhino if I remember correctly, from a bloodthirster of D, kharn (pre heresy) offing no less that 3 separate 15 man tactical squads over a game, that dude is a beast.

Hahaha Kharn is one strong SoB
will be disappointed to see how much he is nerfed in the new codex

I once had a single guards man take out a warlord(the new FW one) my opponent got so mad he threw his 1 milloin point army of the table and i won the game.

ionce had diarrhea and couldnt stop posting gak in for me not relevant topics

In 6th I had a vet scout sarge with mbs and powersword take out a firedragon squad, a serpent, a guardian squad, a dreadnought, a pod and take another serpent down to 1hp in a single game of 6 or 7 turns (literally 1 thing every assault phase, can't remember if I charged the Fragons on T1 after they had disembarked or whether it was T2). He did admittedly lose his 3 of his 4 charges. Along with the remaining scout and Lemartes, they were the only models I had left standing at the end. Still lost despite his heroics. But 5pts well spent on mbs!

I've had other models do way more damage over the course of a battle (ahem - Brass Scorpion), but not a model which costs so little.

back when he was an absolute beast i had a fully upgraded Broodlord kill half a tau army, he also killed calgar and his retinue in a different game

Man the old Broodlord was silly fun

A single praetorian model passing insane heroism and then goes on to wreck 5 wraithguard in CC, followed by a wave serpent and finally ripping 5 wraithblades and the spiritseer(?) inside.

Dubbed him 'ghost buster' after that.

To quote my battle report-

*RIPTIDE SMASH!*
Destroyer goes squish for two wounds vs none, surviving Destroyer rolls leadership and fails, Warriors roll leadership and fail too.
At this point we had to stop and check the rules for sweeping advance and multiple combats. We then rolled off and the Riptide won both rolls, chasing down and crushing 19 Necron models under its oddly shaped heel, wiping out 436pts worth of models in a single fell swoop.
End assault phase

Needless to say, we were both practically incapacitated by laughter for a bit at this point...

It's getting late and I'm going to need to wake up in under six hours so I'll just say that it took Boomwolf until turn 7 to finally table my remaining forces and that I managed to to take a shield drone and two wounds off of R'alai as well as destroying a Hammerhead before finally going down...

Given Boomwolf's Tau's long history of hilariously unlikely victories in close combat, his existing motif of being a pseudo "chaos Tau" army spawned partially of said history and the sheer hilarity of that *RIPTIDE SMASH* moment we felt it would be appropriate to commemorate the achievement, to which end I donated a whole bunch of leftover Immortal/Deathmark bits, a large spike and the arm of a Chaos Hellbrute I had lying around-



GLORIOUS!

Eye of Terror Campaign.

Emperor's Children versus Eldar, seize the initiative and then launch an indirect shot at a Wave Serpent from a Defiler, shot scatters so that it hits the back armour of the Wave Serpent, one penetrating six roll on the ordnance chart later and it's goodbye Wave serpent plus Seer council! It was a 1500 pt. game so that shot wiped out over a third of my opponents army and basically won the game right there, it still gets brought up from time to time.

Ah back when Ord was bloody scary :/

I have had a single space marine sergeant kill one of the uber-dredd Ork things from Forgeworld. (The giant buzz saw one)

I've also had a single space marine sergeant. The last marine on the board, charge a maxed squad of Necron warriors, kill two in assault, rout them, catch them, and inflict exactly enough casualties to force the army to phase out. (Second greatest comeback I've ever see on the tabletop.)

A single Wraithlord going to town on a massive group of Deffkoptas and making them run off the board. It was an apoc game. But it's quite something to devastate a group of +30 Deffkoptas so much that they ran off the board.

I had a tac squad charge a necron Arc transport recently. Not exactly a single model, but the last guy to toss a krak grenade blew up the Arc. The explosion killed 4 warriors inside & 4 members of his squad too.

Thank you for bringing up EoT campaign, nearly forgot my true High damage single model.

At the time, to put a bit things in context for those who wheren't there at the time, Deamons and CSM where in the same book, a bit like KDK, there was fewer Demon units, but they where crazy good.

So if you wanted to bring a BT on the table, it had to take possession of a model, in 3rd ed Jervis codex it was random between all your Chars and CHamps, in 3.5Dex you chose one Champ model, he was the Possessed and would fight with the Demon Base Str has his own, he could change into the BT on a 4+, or you could resist the possession and only change on a 6+( you had to roll each turn).

So i have a Zerker Chosen CHamp, with FnP, Deamonic Aura upgrade, Axe of Khorne and the Str8 of the BT, pricey for one wound model, but back then effective has hell...

The guy would strike with 5 Str8 Init 5 no save hits with extra hits on 6's to hit, has long has you got 6's you could roll extra attacks.

I'm playing Vs a Tau player, Tau where pretty new at the time, that one Model, destroyed 60% of the guy army, passing Invul saves, 4+FnP cruisin through squads and squads of Crisis suits, the pinacle of epic was when i rolled 17!!!!, yes you read this right, 17Attacks Vs his Commander+Crisis squad, kept rolling enough 6's to hit that i got 17 attacks...

Game was finished, before the BT even got the chance to overtake the Camp body by turn 4.

I really miss those days, when people would shat their pants when they saw a Khorne CSM army...*sight*

I once had a marine sergeant kill a knight in cc. The knight then proceeded to fall over and blow up an entire squad of opposing tactical marines.

Back in 4th edition I had a Slannesh Daemon Prince eat, a Khornate Daemnon Prince and an entire unit of bloodletters one game and then in a different game he ate 15 Imperial fists (three five man squads) terminators in one game.

Not exactly the most damage done (I don't have any good stories) but it is sorta the most damage compared to what the rest of my army did. I had 3 squads of 20 shoota boyz shoot into a flying daemon prince and deal zero unsaved wounds. I was like "watch my warboss show the boyz how its done" and roll for my twin linked shoota. Rolled a hit, got the wound, he failed his saves, and grounded it. Daemon price was then swarmed by boyz and beaten to a bloody pulp before it vanished back into the warp.

2 melta drop pod squads come in. West squad damages a monolith, east group finishes it off. His turn, an obelisk vaporizes the west squad and hurts the east. My turn, east squad goes into "go big or go home" mentality and shoots at the obelisk, getting two explode results and enough extra hull points to down it. The explosion wipes out all but one meltagun marine who went to ground and proceeds to pass several saves in the following round. Once he gets up, he shoots a wounded canoptek spyder in the back and kills it.

Played vs opponent who had a 3-knight+AdMech list with my IG.

A chimera explodes, leaving a guard squad stranded a few inches from an enemy knight. Incoming fire tears the squad down to two men, one of which has a melta gun. Facing a single melta at his back and a bunch of anti tank weaponry at his front, the knight chooses to shield it's front. I concentrate fire on it, manage to knock off 3 hP.

The veteran takes aim, scores an explodes and rolls a 3 on his D3.

The knight's explosion scatters, gets a D-hit on an unshielded facing of another knight. 6. Second knight explodes and takes the final hull point off the third knight. The there explosions also take out probably 85% of the models remaining on the board

And that's how one melta vet killed 2790 points of models (of course we tallied it all up after we stopped laughing).

Hahaha, I like this one.

I used my friends X-107 R'Varna (Pulse Cannon FW model) in a 2000 pt four player FFA. The player next to me had skitari and we decided because of a "mutually assured destruction" that we would have peace for turn one. However turn two he fired many grav weapons at me (which luckily I had opted for the + to invuln saves leaving me with only a few wounds left) and I fired back at his unit of Two Castellan robots and their tech-priest as well as about 5-6 of their Kataprhon Destroyers. I nova-charged R'Varna's Cannons (to let them both fire twice) giving me four large blasts that hits three times per MC/2 hits per very bulky.
I scored about 35-40 wounds on the Kataprhons and about 30 wounds to the Castellan unit.
The Kataprhons were all but wiped out, somehow I didn't manage to do much damage to the Castellans(maybe a couple wounds). Still I felt impressive to do that much damage from a single unit shooting.

6th ed Marbo story. I was playing against Grey Knights with my guard, my opponent deepstrikes a unit of Paladins, chose to shoot one of my units off the field instead of scattering. Next turn, Marbo comes on, drops his demo charge on the squad and kills all but one. On my opponent's turn Marbo gets tank shocked by a land raider and blows it up with his meltabomb, getting incapacitated in the explosion.

One of my exorcists killed 525 points with a single snap firing missile at LVO in February. Shot down a stormraven filled with a gooey librarian and mushy stern guard in it.

one Kroot model Drop blocked a whole lot of terminators and something went horribly wrong for them...

Not the best kill ever but Kharn tonight managed to kill a mhara gal dreadnought, did 3 pens and 2 glances and somehow managed to survive the ghost razors and id, not the best kill, but im pretty chuffed!
