Most unfortunate moment:  Recently in a tournament, my Legio Decem (Trait Marines) were squaring off against the eldar, and I had a shooty plas cannon/gun squad holding up my left flank.  His Striking scorpians were moving closer and by turn two he was within range of the plasma gun.  First shooting my cannon shot and missed, no overheat.  Second turn I fire my plasma cannon, roll a 1, then for my armor save, I roll a 2.  Unphased Fired the plasma gun, they were just outside of double tap range, and rolled another 1.  Rolled the armor save, and another two.  My oppenent laughed as did I, what are the chances.

Most Fortunate moment:  In the same game, the turn after my plasma debacle, my opponent and his avatar are moving up the middle and the farseer, without council, and decides to cast fortune on the avatar my dev squad is perfectly set up to hit (1las,3ML).  With his eldar wargear he gets to roll 3d6 and take the lowest 2 for his psychic test.  I was waiting in the wings with my librarian and his psychic hood, but the god emperor was smiling on me at that moment.  He proceeded to roll THREE sixes on his psychic test, and due to his farseer having a ghost helm had a 3+ save on peril of the warp wounds.  He rolls a 2 on his armor save and proceeds to remove the model (GG s6 wound!) and he muttered something about karma is a *female dog*.

Anyone else have any good stories of the like?

My first game my chaplain with his bolt pistol faced up to a landspeeder.

after I hit. I rolled 2 sixes in a row to take it down.

We still talk about that one.

1.  Playing Eldar against Marines (3rd edition). Razorback carrying Librarian with Lightning claws and Termie honors+someother assaulty mess rushing my mostly guardian Eldar force.  Breaks cover to get into charge range next turn, my only opportunity to kill it all game.  1 prism cannon, 3 bright lances, 5 starcannons, one shuricannon(side armor shot), and 1 pulse laser fired at it that turn.  Not a single shot hit, and the Librarian rolled my army practically by himself.

2.  Eldar vs Tyranids(3rd edition)   I took an avatar this game, and by turn four both sides were fairly depleted with Eldar up by about 200 vp.  He has 6 Spinegaunts left with his Tyrant way behind them, and my avatar is just close enough to assault them.  He charges, whiffs all attacks, and Spinegaunts kill him with return attacks.

3.  Same game, 6 banshees + executioner armed exarch charge single biovore in his back line.  All attacks missed or failed to wound.  The biovore killed one of them, then caught them when they ran, killing the rest of the unit instantly.-(I lost this game)

4.  Playing a three-way with my Tau vs. Tyranids vs. Necrons.(3rd edition)  I set up a strong firebase with infiltrated kroot units, broadsides, a railhead, 3 firewarrior units, and a half dozen Crisis suits+my commander, and topped off with a full stealth unit.  Tyranids want no part of this, being the only approach he had to me was open ground, so he attacks the necrons.  In my turn, my three broadsides have clear shots against a completely isolated 3 man destroyer unit the Necron player absent-mindedly left in LOS.  Taking the perfect, no WBB possible opportunity, the broadsides fire.  3 ones to hit with railguns.  Thank God for Twin-linked right?  Roll again and 3 ones.

5.  Tyranids vs. Crimson Fists ( 4th edition).  A smallish game(1000)points, starting my nids.  After a couple of brutal rounds of shooting(because not one of my 6+ fleet rolls all game were higher than 2) I had several severely damaged units massing up for combined assaults.  4 Genestealers, 4 hormagaunts, 3 rending warriors, and two spinegaunts attack an 8 man scout unit with pf veteran.  I kill one, scouts wipe out warriors and kill a stealer.  Gaunts flee.  Scouts end up finishing stealers just over 50% strength.

6.  Same game, Tyrant is, by turn four, in assault range of his marines and unwounded.  Two Land speeders with assault cannons, hidden behind a bunker after being stunned umpteen million times by my gunfex, jump out and shoot him.  He is instantly killed by rends.

7.  Same forces, take and hold mission. With some good fleeting, I have taken the large terrain piece serving as the objective with my entire force.  After a unit of stealers and hormagaunts wipe his 3 scout units off of the table, his army starts showing up through deep strike or pods.  One of which is a  man Terminator unit with 2 assault cannons, followed by four Land Speeder Assault cannon types and a pod with a chaplain and his big assault marine unit.  Considering what he has to kill to take the objective, he states that he expects a loss.  All of them show up close to the objective, and kill a stealer unit as well as wounding my walking Tyrant with assault cannons again(he is very afrad of those things now).  My turn- Gunfex and Walk-rant stun one of the speeders.  The rest of the game involved his unkillable termies and my vain attempts to stop them.  In order of attack, Flyrant assaults them unwounded.  Kills one, and is killed entirely by return attacks.  Hormagaunts+genestealers that wiped out the scouts.  Killed one, stealers wiped out and gaunts run off.  Gaunts return under synapse and are wiped out.  In desperation, the only unengaged or assault cannoned-off-the-board unit are my five flying ripper swarms.  They charge, do nothing, and are killed in one turn.  To finish the game, his Chaplain and CO. charge the ten stealers remaining on the objective.  I kill three marines, and the stealers are wiped out in one turn.  I lose

8.  First 1500 point game against Tau in Cities of Death.  The presence of several railguns and plasma rifles causes me to advance my flyrant into cover so he cannot be targeted while advancing on the delightfully static Tau units.  Convinced my MC had nothing to fear from basic cover, he rolled a one on his dangerous terrain test.  No worries, I get a MC reroll.  1.  Damn.
