What are your wierdest 40k moments.

Mine happened in a 3 way battle with My nids vs some nightlords and black legion
The black legion sumoned some bloodletters to vs some of my termigaunts.

To everones suprise the termiguants survived the first attack and in return managed to kill 4 of the bloodletters.

I've set the challenge, who can top it

I was playing aganist my friend, i had imperial guard and he had grey knights.
The strange thing was i killed three grey knight teminators with a platoon of guardsmen with lasguns.........
Top that....

I once had a Archon Lord from my dark Elder Survive 63 save in a row before she died from a drug overdose( combat drugs are bad for you)

In a battle where by Black Templar where fighting World Eaters. Whirr chain swords Whirr. Anyway his DP ate my chaplin and assault squad. Then he went through one of my shooty squads but one of them survived. He fell back, rallied, an shot the DP dead in one turn. The DP could survive 2 power fist and a power weapon but not a mighty bolter.

BT must rock! I had a 5v5 battle with my assault-marines against termies. In the initial charge I lost all but 2 men, and caused no casualties (stupid 2+ sves). Anyhow, the squad lasted for 2 more turns until my Emeror's Cahmpion got in there. The squad went on to victory! The two marines had dropped 2 termies, then the champ. got in. The reward: the last assault marine got to -walk- alongside the Champ. for the rest of the battle (so he would pass LD for 'all alone'). The dynamic duo went on to crush down a tank.
Not really a 'holy $#*+!' moment, but it was more a show of comradeship- if minis can show emotion...

4 Terminators dead. Lost to Bolt Pistol fire from 1 enemy squad in 1 round of shooting. 5 Hits, 4 2+ saves failed.

Wolfkin

IG psyker destroyed a monolith.
IG guardsmen win combat against an assaulting Great Unclean One
Go IG.

abaddon the despoiler....
40 fire warriors,2 broadsides and 2 crisis suits
somewhere around 88 shots i think.
he survived every single shot.
oh wait the guy i was playin forgot to roll one shot for one of his fire warriors
1 fire warrior-1 dead abaddon the despoiler

Wow! And people think that rolling one dice never gets you anywhere.
Fire Warriors seem to make a habbit of that. I've had 36 fire warrior shots at terminators fail to kill one, then four shots from 2 fire warriors killed 2.

Having one of my Firewarriors stolen by a crow. Seeing an unsupervised Gamestore kid eat (literaly) some poor guy's Khorne Berzerker.Gamewise I've seen a handful of Guardsmen kill a Daemon Prince by themself. It was a sad day for the servants of chaos.

A scout heavy bolter killing x3 chaos terminators in one round of shooting....my friend has never taken termies in his army since then, hehe.

That same scout heavy bolter, shooting the back armour of a chimera with IST inside and getting a 6 on the penetration table, all of the storm troopers survived but x4 grey knight terminators caught in 5 inch blast died.

Death guard havoc squad with x4 plasma guns...well lets just say they all died after double tapping.

Cheers.

I had an immobilized Immolator stranded about 5 inches in front a a 10 model Space Marine Tactical squad. The marines were in cover of some difficult terrain. The Tac Squad had a lascannon and a vet sergeant with a plasma pistol. This happened on turn 1.
He kept missing with the lascannon.
I kept killing marines with my twin linked heavy flamers.
On turn 3 he tried to add in his sergeant, but the sergeants plasma pistol exploded and killed him.
Result: on turn 6 I had an immbilized Immolator without a target, and he had a completely dead Tac squad. :D

Funny note: the name I had painted on my Immolator was Hell's Gate. ;)

Thousand son aspiring champion with a power weapon and daemonic strength, and gift of chaos, versus a grey knight grand master with all the extras possible, in a special themed game at GW where about 14 people all chose two squads to control. It was the battle that would decide the game. My aspiring champion got within 2", passed his spawning roll, the grand master failed all of his anti-psyker randomness, but the staff member there at the time said that he didn't want the game to end in such a way, so just say that the grand master cut off his mutating body part, and he loses his storm bolter. So my aspiring champion charged. The grandmaster then proceeded to miss with all of his attacks, and then the champion cut the master into pieces when all of his attacks hit and wounded! He then moved on, and killed two of the terminator bodyguards, while the three thousand sons following the champion killed the last two bodyguards!

squad of kroot+squad of terminators+close combat=dead kroot right?...wrong.
the kroot tore the termies apart in hth no less with no casualties in return.

Losing a terminator to a flashlight (a.k.a lasgun)

Inquisitor Lucky, the luckiest inquisitor ever. He survived 32 bolt pistol shots and 4 Plasma Pistol shots. Two plasma pistol wounds and some 7 bolter wounds. He survived all shots with not even one wound.

I also like that my GKT squad has to it reputation:
3+ (I've lost track now) leman russ kills, from the Grandmaster's {sycannons.
1 Leman Russ Demolisher torn apart in C.C.
1 Basilisk killed by Psycannons.

Or oe time I got to play as my friends chaos army. I started with a 17 man infiltrating 2xpp Pfist Asp Champ, BP+ CCW. Thirteen casualties in the first turn. They then proceded to kill a squad, A command squad, a Leman Russ, and basilisk. Amazing.

My friend, he has a squad of storm troopers, a squad, a large one of abou 14, of khorne berzerkers assulted him. he won. not a scratch on him.
My jounior officer survived3 shots from the gun thingy on the wraithlord, but he died when the wraithlord started to play handsies with him. SPLAT!!!

OH! almost forgot! 5 khorne berzerkers of mine killed an entire army of tau!!!
Wait, thats not weird......

my friend when killing a demon prince only by using the chimeras turret, 3 hits (4+), 3 wounds (3+) and then the opponent rolled two 2s and a 1. :p or 15 guardsman kicking 9 scorpinons in CC.

Oh I forgot one of the best one's. Master Shaper (Kroot) assaults an IC Necron Lord in turn 3. The Necron Lord lost all it's wounds first round. They are both still alive at the end of the game, after 7 rounds of combat. Can it get any weirder?

4 snipers

hit on 2's

I get 4 6's

wound on 4's

I get 4 6's

Four 3+ saves

he rolls four ones

I win the game!

Once had a lone hormagaunt survive being hit by my Eldar Avatar twice. Then he wounded my poor avatar. Needed threes to hit, got two, rolled snake eyes. He attacks back, hits on fives, wounds on sixes, five up invulnerable. What are the odds?

The greatest thing I had though was Aun'shi in my final game at the GT, against an Eldar player. So he's got rending, and 4 attacks. Out of the 12 close combat attacks he made that game, half were sixes. He and his squad ended up killing a scorpion squad AND a wraithguard squad, taking the flank completely.

Once had a lone hormagaunt survive being hit by my Eldar Avatar twice.

How is that even possible...? Avatars instakill gaunts, and allows no normal saves.

an entir squad of gaunts attack one man

another squad does the same

The two men win the combat, and sweeping advance the hormys and kill them all

I got another. My last thousand son, the rest of the squad had been ripped to bits by starcannons. Avatar runs towards him, so thousand son rapid fires at him. Wounds him once, and then charges in. Wounds the avatar again. Avatar misses. Wounds the avatar again next round, avatar hits but fails to wound. Next round thousand son is wounded once, but then kills the avatar! He then proceeded to put two rounds through two gaurdians, then gets charged by a wraithlord. Which then takes two rounds of combat to blat him. So I marked him just to remember which one was the good one. The next game, he was in pretty much the same position against more chaos. He ran up to some ruins. He sat in the top floor, and kept firing for 3 turns. EVERY SHOT claimed a chaos marine life. He then got battle cannoned, but he passed his cover save, then finally was killed by a chaos lord. But then the lord failed his mastery and killed himself!
He now has a converted melta gun with bolter parts added to it, as a kind of sniper rifle, and several badges of honour.

lord of change. I am no expert but I believe that your signature is illegal, on LO and what ever site you are doing. If I were you I would remove it before a mod notices.

a single destroyer fires every turn on terminators, 3 rounds of assault cannons and storm bolters, each turn taking 3 from the squad each turn. the last termie charges my destroyer and my destroyer sliced him before he could do anything.

470 points who kill nothing the whole game, only to be taken by a destroyer!

I once sent a Dark Elder Sybrite who was full of combat drugs and the rest of the warrior squad ( 19 warriors) into combat with some firewarriors. You guessed it the dark elder were killed in one turn.

All of them

Talk about bad luck

I was fighting CSM and it ended up being my loaded-out grandmaster against2 daemonprinces and a bloodthirster. My grandmaster hit first, wounded all of them, and, with his force weapon, killed all of them. that's over 400 pts. of stuff taken out in a single swing!

My nids vs Tau. 6 'Stealors start in cover, 3 die in tau shooting pkhase. the surviving 3 then charge into CC with the firewarrior squad responsible for the death of their comrades. Result: 12 firewarriors +2 gundrones killed, 0 gene casualties. then the same stealers killed his commander and ripped a weapon off his devilfish before they died. 3 stealors wiping out half a 500pt army......

And if anyone has clicked on LordofChanges sig then i am guessing it is illegal. If it aint, it should be

My firewarriors killin a Force Commander in CC... i mean come on how hard can it be to get a 2+ lol....

i got 3, one is when my 5 man guardian squad (with warlock and missle launcher) was charged by 11 gene stealers and guess what, the stealers lost, fled and were shot down.

another 1 was when my 8 man squad of dire avengers (eldar) killed 2 squads of 10 chaos guys in shooting without even having to make a single armour save NO CASUALTIES!!!!!

another was a store battle where every1 gets 2 squads/vechiles this guy had a necron monolith full of warriors and he chose to try to deepstrike his monolith onto my my 14 man guardian squad with no upgrades he rolls crap and deepstrrikes his expensive as hell monolith off the table....... good oll guardians........

yay! 50 posts

I had a 10 man guardian Defender squad take out an assassin platoon of 3 Death Cult and a Callidus over 3 rounds of combat despite being charged,
4 Guardians walked away smiling with brand new weapons.......
Shame they got killed by 10 gaunts charging into their cover turn 1 next game.....

My Night Lords Commander managing to kill 978pts of troops in a 3 way battle, before finally being killed by a ratling sniper!!!! :eek:

In 6 turns of shooting, my havocs with 3 missile launchers failed to roll above a 2 on their to hit roll.

A squad of tooled wytches twice as big as my fire warrior squad charged them and lost the combat!

I got another. My last thousand son, the rest of the squad had been ripped to bits by starcannons. Avatar runs towards him, so thousand son rapid fires at him. Wounds him once, and then charges in. Wounds the avatar again. Avatar misses. Wounds the avatar again next round, avatar hits but fails to wound. Next round thousand son is wounded once, but then kills the avatar!

As Farseer Sareld pointed out before an Avatar count as being a deamon which means that no armors save is alloid.
Indeed he has served you well, how about promote him???

How is that even possible...? Avatars instakill gaunts, and allows no normal saves.
Even if you instakill, you still have to roll a 2+ (usually) to Wound first.

How is that even possible...? Avatars instakill gaunts, and allows no normal saves.
How is that even possible? Instakill has no effect on models with 1W. Why even bother saying it.

I played a take and hold mission with my Necrons against an Eldar player. At the end of the game, I had dessimated most of his forces, but I'd neglected to get anything near the objective. I turbocharged 3 Destroyers to the center terrain to claim it. He had a transport left with his Howling Banshees in it. Well, he dropped them right by my Destroyers and charged me. Exarch and I think 9 Banshees against 3 Destroyers. After a dysmal assault, only one of my Destroyers was dead.

Now here's the amazing part. My two Destroyers hit with both attacks, wounded both, he failed them, and also failed his Ld test. I even managed to beat him in the Initiative roll off. So not only did I beat him in HtH, but I wiped out the squad as well.

How is that even possible? Instakill has no effect on models with 1W. Why even bother saying it.

What I meant was that th3 avatar has S equal to 2x the gaunts toughness,and ignores armor saves. In the original post, it said that a lone gaunt survived two hits from an avatar, and killed him afterwards. That is impossible.

Ever hear of snake eyes?

As was pointed out earlier, you can hit 50 times, but if you fail to wound with those 50 hits, the target survives. The Avatar probably rolled two 1s when it rolled to wound.


EDIT: What PSteve said. ^_^

I was playing eldar and we were playing with fixed armies. I had 3xdev. squads, each with 4x HB, 2x Dread w/assault cannon, heavy flamer. The eldar force deep struck onto the defended area, right next to my force. They had no veichiles and so I opened fire on lots of soft, squiggy infantry. Dead Eldar, right :lol: . Nope. 4 dead :confused: :mad: , killed by bolters :huh:

This happened to me at conflict montreal, while I was playing for the best general.

With my kroot mercenaries infiltration skills and fleet of foot, I was able to get my 2 best CC units (Kroot hound squads) in combat first turn, Vs 2 5 man tactical squads. charging gives me 126 ishe attacks, more than enough to kill them all.

rolling to hit: 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,11,1,4,3,3,3,3,,3, 3,3,3,3,3,3,4,,5,5,3,3,3,2,2,2........ a total of 37 hits instead of the averge of 63!

at this point I still don't worry, as my shapers have 4 S8 attacks each, rolling to hit with them, zip!

then takeing my meager 37 hits, I roll toi wound, expecting about 16-17 wounds, only getting 10.....

SO far this was a catastrophe, but 10 saves makes 3 dead marines, and I was happy whit that. he rolls is saves, passes them all.

now he takes is 10 attack, no big deal 10 attacks makes 2.5 wounds, I can take it. gets 9 hits and 7 wounds! I loose combat 1 unit breaks and is rundown!

Needless to say I finished 2nd for general ^_^

Um...that's INSANE!
37 hit's out of 126 with 4's to hit has a chance of one in
814,823
8 6's in 10 dice is the only thing I've ever seen close to that! And it still happens 15 times before that kind of roll Wolf_Pack!!!
note: still, better chance than winning lotto ^_^

rolling to hit: 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,11,1,4,3,3,3,3,,3, 3,3,3,3,3,3,4,,5,5,3,3,3,2,2,2........ a total of 37 hits instead of the averge of 63!
Sweet merciful crap!!!! you rolled an 11!!! o a D6??!?!?!?!?!?! :eek:

My chaos lord killed an entire necron army. On his own. He killed everything before anyone else got a chance to hit him back. It was quality. :cool:

In a 3 way game a squad of 5 ratlings fire upon Cheif librarian tigerus of the ultramarines space marine chapter. ( tried to make it sound cool) well basicaly i hit him with about 4 shots wounded him with all and he failed all of them. go midgets with guns!!!

A Celestian squad, firing only its bolters and divine guidance, brought a 4 wound chaos deamon from full health to dead in one volley. Someone shouted "Yahtzee!" when he saw the chaos player roll all those 1's on his saves.

-981

Ok, so this is fantasy not 40k BUT:

I had some Repeater Crossbows from my Shades fire at some Blood Letters. Not really expecting much, I scored an impressive 5 hits. Eager to follow this up, I roll the dice. 5 Ones! Out of 5 Dice! I calculated a 1/7776 chance of this lol

I am not sure this counts but I have been mising one of my necrons for a weak now so I have been useing this ork I modled with a gause rifle on a whim with the excues that the decever tricked him into thinking he is a cron. Everyone laughs when I explane it.

My opponent took expert rider skill on his normal squads and paid for it. Even though I told him it was pointless :confused:

under 2nd edition rules: Chaos vs Blood Angels. Kharn the betrayer charged into a squad of blood angels terminators, they teleported away from him at which point three lascannons from a Predator Annihilator, a Devistator Squad in overwatch, a dreadnaught with a multi-melta, AND to top it off, a chaplain throwing a vortex grenade all targeted him. to make a long story short, Kharn was very dead that game.

3rd edition rules: I was playing a three-person free-for-all game. One of my opponents was Blood Angels, another was Orks... the remnants of a squad of Grots (10 grots) shot at a squad of blood angels terminators.... killed 7 of them.

Other 40k, Gorkamorka: two trukks carrying big shootas hit a head-on collision my opponent shot the big shoota into my trukk on his turn... completely missed.

I beat up a 5-man squad of Khorne Berserkers with a Shas'o Crisis Battlesuit once. Took 5 turns, but I did it!

Actually, my Tau have had some really weird close combat experiences. I mean, I've beat up Terminator Squads with partial Fire Warrior Squads, and I've lost Fire Warrior squads to Sergeants wandering around the field, passing their Last Man Standing tests.

And then there was the Broadside that beat a Tac Squad silly.

This has to be my favorite story(heck I based my new 'rine chapter on the fact that later they were slaughtered except 3 and later rebuilt the chapter and went on a grand crusaide to reclaim their dead homeworld):

My army was in a wedge formation on the board between the Tyranids and Necrons, thats pretty bad as it is on a 3 way battle. Well the Carnafex and Hive Tyrant, with 2 tyrand guard, all full health if I recall, were near my battle lines, charging range next turn. My Chaplain burst forward with his routine of 5 assault troopers and charged both of the monsters, killing the Carnafex and wounding a Tyrant guard, but his 5 men were slaughtered. Next turn my Librarian with his 5 man assault group tried to save the Brother Chaplain, but when the Chaplain bravely turned to destroy the hive tyrant, he was only met with the fury of the hive tyrant. A hero slain, but his sacrifice gave the army more time, allowing the Librarian with his men charge and slay the Hive Tyrant and his guardians. The Brother Librarian wept over his lost mentor, but rest was not a luxury he had at the time as this bought the Marines much time... untill the Nightbringer appeared...
I do have names for the chaplaian and librarian, but chose to omit the to prevent anyone from taking 'em. :)

This one is just sad. I was playing a game of 40k this morning my crons vs a ork horde of some 150% their own numbers pts wise. But, the reason the game was so slanted against me was that it was speed freaks! Well any way some time in turn two the kid decides it would be a 'good idea' to tank shock my largest unit of warriors. I asked him if he really wanted to do this, twice! He went ahead with it, his battle fortress vs my 21 necrons :huh: (the unit had picked up survivors of another unit that got overrun).

I of course tell the whole unit to go 'death or glory', four 6s, the glancing hits resolve with one of each result 6-3. The tank is screwed. In the end not one ork vehicle left that battlefield intact. I blame the IDIOT they had for a warboss. :lol:

Valhallan_Might, that doesn't sound strang at all o_O. I don't understand the 'weird' part.
Alexei Vor Yaruk only one guy can death or glory if a unit is tank shocked :D.

And as for the meaning of this post, my single gun drone squadrons from my devilfish have done it again! They were constantly tank shocked for a whole game with an empty ork trukk, but I somehow managed to pass an incredible number of ld 4's (about 6/20), and then finally one of them blew the damn trukk up!

Fighting Tau with IG (talk about shooting match). Got close and killed 11 in one squad. The FW passed moral and went on to dodge the next 20 shots by other squads 12 in away. I think we named the FWMr. Smith after that.

Wow, I didn't know that! looks like I won that game unfairly. But honestly that doesn't make any sense, why only one? If the whole squad could do it like I thought, tank shocking crons would be the hight of stupidity. Or from the other perspective having the unit death or glory in that situation would be a no brainer.

Oh, and I think I would call him Mr. Anderson, and promote him to general.

Eh, one Death or Glory per unit, dude.


My lone IST vetsarge with Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon, and Power Armor chewed up an entire full strength squad of hormagaunts with toxin sacs and adrenal glands (WS). That was a prime moment (I'm not even sure if that's possible.).

There was one amusing time when, in a free-for-all, a FW squad and IG platoon got in CC... the pitiful show lasted for 4 turns until my GM and GKTs arrived to distibute the pain, along with a BA chaplain and his DC, whom I dismantled after mopping up.

pwned.


=][=

Maybe not the wierdest mmoment, but here goes nothing:

IG Ogryns(5)
1 Priest (Eviscerator, Rosarius)
1 Commissar (Powerfist, Carapace armor, Bolt pistol, Meltabombs)

vs.

Chaos Champion (Daemonic Stature, DarkBlade, Demonic Aura)
10 Khornate Berzerkers (Khornate Chainswords)
Khornate Champion (Juggernaut, Axe of Khorne, Tome of Burning Blood)

Now this was a fight to see if Ogryns were truely good in cc against some of the best assault troops in the game. Now with this kind of opposition, I was toast. Not really. I got to hit first and with the Ogryns, I beat the daemonic chammpion like a tent spike (thank you priest). Unfortunately, hey were all but wiped clean by the berzerkers (well duh). with only one ogryn left, I made the Ld test (thank you Commissar) and rallied. The Ogryn went at it with the Berzerker champion backed up by my Commissar and Priest, and was killed, but the priest dealt the death blow to the champion of Khorne. The priest lost it and splattered two of the Berzerkers. In retaliation, the Berzerkers scored only one wound (4+ saves thank you). Then the Commissar strode in, and began pimp-slapping everyone he could see as he had to reroll two failed to-hits. Unfortunately, the Berzerkers foailed thier Ld test and ran like whipped dogs, That pretty much ended the whole thing. I think I'm gonna write about this one in a story.

Eh, one Death or Glory per unit, dude.

Wait, is that a fourth ed rule? Cause we were runing this in good ol 3rd queansbury. I have read the whole 3rd book and I would think that I would have noticed this.

How about a grot killing a grandmaster? I've seen it.

Easily, mine came when I played my friends Necrons with my IG. I charged my command squad into the Lord, and no one, not the power-weapon equipped Senior Officer, not the veterans, no one, wounded the Necron Lord. But, my pretty little Sanctioned Psyker hit the Lord with his stick a few time, and killed it...
*EDIT*
Another one was at a tourney, where a Warp Spider squad reamed my command unit in an infantry platoon, killing all but the JO. The JO then proceeded to wipe out the seven offending spiders, using his plasma pistol and power sword. I have no clue how it happened, only that it did. The look on the Eldar players face was priceless :D

IG Command Squad. All thats left is the Heroic Senior Officer with no close combat upgrades whatsoever, he gets charged by 5 SM scout bikes which all fail to either hit or to wound him. The HSO strikes back, kills three and kills the two remaining when the HSO wins the initiative test. It was awesome.

Another time i had a squad of 6 guardsmen in a special weapons support squad, who get charged by 3 necron wraiths who all miss their attacks. After that my guardsmen strike back and kill all three of them. Rolls a d6 on their consolidation roll and moves towards a squad of necron warriors. Next turn i keep them moving towards the warriors, fire two flamers which knock two warriors down and throw a demolition charge which instakills another 4 warriors. :)

I was playing against my friend's tau.

I had just sent a normal squad of 5 space marines uo to stall his tank using them as cannon fodder while the rest of my guys where going round a building. His devilfish completely wiped them out apart from my sergeant, then it got interesting.
My sergeant shot with his plasma pistol. scored a 6 on the penetrating table killing the hammer head, all the pathfinders inside, and 8 out of 12 fire warriors next to it. The squad faileed its moral and the other 4 fire warriors ran of the edge of the board.

From now on i give my sergeants plasma pistols.

i saw a bunch of grots bring down a bloodthirster and a couple of csm marines. that was really scary.

my beardy 4 wound 2+/4+ toughness 6, 9 attacks ws 6, s 6(7), feel no pain, damon prince got killed by 2 heavy bolters 4nake eyes exactly! arghh! im still embarressed. but my liutenant killed the whole heavy weapon platoon, command squad, veterans in return

How 'bout having only my EC Aspiring Champ With Power fist and Boltpistol last for 2 rounds, surrounded by 2 Units of Plague bearers, and destroying 1 unit before finally diying? My first game, my best so far... LOL

my friend plays space wolves. a long fang sqaud 4 plasma cannons pack leader combi plasma gun.....
u can tell wats coming needles to say 200 odd points lost in a single turn

It can't actually be penetrated if it moved over 6". If it didn't, then a 5 or 6 on the penetrating will do to hurt the fire warriors, but it means you need to roll (#pathfinders) 8 4+'s and then he has to roll 8 1, 2, 3's to kill them all, and then the same had to happen with the fire warriors, killing 8 is way hard. I think you didn't quite play by the rules.
There's more chance winning the lotto (I worked the chance of the killing you said to be 1 in 66 million, and that's assuming the penetrating hit and subsequent roll of 6, and then a roll high enough for the blast to hurt all 12 fire warriors. If it DID happen, I think you win the 'most unlikely' award by far.)

my wierdest moment was when i was playing against templar with my guard, i shot at the guys emperors champion with like two platoons of guardsman...he survived, a melta gun......he survived, a plasma gun.......he survived, a MISSILE LAUNCHER!!!!..............HE SURVIVED!!!!!!!!!!!.......a lasgun from the command squad.....HE DIED!!!!!! never underestimate the puny lasgun

Yep. I deep struck a crisis with a twinlinked fusion blaster and a shield generator. Failing to hit and autopenetrate the rear of a battletank, next turn he was then hit with 4 lascannons and 6 heavy bolters and survived. Then the mortar squad next to the tank fired the mortars, still nothing. Then the 3 lasguns from that squad...
KILLED HIM!

Moto: Always fire your lasguns first.

I've had a squadron of Tau Gun Drones wipe out a land raider, sixteen shots into
a back of a land raider by a supprise attack is pretty thrilling. funny thing is the squadron
only cost 86 points the land raider as of what I used to know cost over 250points!

Land Raider's armor is too high all around to pen. with Drones based on my WH codex.

Are gun drones S8.
No? They can't even glance then.

I've had a single standard equipped (bolt pistol, close combat wep.) Space Marine Sgt. hold off a Tau HQ in a battlesuit and about 6-7 drones for about 3 turns. End result 5 dead drones, one wound on HQ. [I]He fought bravely. Also have VINDICARE assassian pick off a major model every shot for a whole game with out ever taking a wound; 1 dead possessed Chaos Sgt., 1 Sister Repenta and a tank i think immulator.

one of my best 40k moments was my epistolary killed three obliderators and my guy took only one wound. Oh yeah three obliderators. this was a 3 person free for all and i came second because i was hacked down by Kharn but i guess Meh........

Another moment was that i was about to be beaten against tau when i shot my lascannon at his hammerhead and rolled a penetrating hit then rolled a six. All his models were cramped into this gully and the explosion killed of 13 models including 7 fire warriors, 2 pathfinders and 4 gun drones.

I had just assaulted some IG with some raptors with three flamers. I realised after I had done it that if they ran then my raptors would be in the open and ready to be popped by all that IG return fire. I was actually praying for the enemy to make his morale roll. Snake eyes. His unit stayed meaning that my squad could get into hand to hand, bash him then hit and run to cover, which they proceeded to do then continuing their rampage and taking out two more squads.

Another one to go into the halls of wierdest 40k moment - but this is involving another person who plays at my local store.
He'd just gone out and bought a shiny new baneblade, spent ages painting it up and putting it together, and he came up against an Ork army the first time he used the baneblade. He was hoping for the first turn but got the second - but it didn't matter - he had a baneblade!
Oh but it really did. On the first turn, an Ork Loota with a lascannon shot at the front armour. 5 to hit, 6 to penetrate, 6 to do horrific amounts of damage. Needless to say, it exploded with full force and devastated scores of guard that were sheltering behind the behemoth, and the Orks were in combat by the third turn. He barely even got a shot off before 2,000 points of Orks were tearing him apart. Poor Guard. Poor Baneblade. But it teaches him to put the majority of his points into one thing, i suppose.

I've had a squadron of Tau Gun Drones wipe out a land raider, sixteen shots into
a back of a land raider by a supprise attack is pretty thrilling. funny thing is the squadron
only cost 86 points the land raider as of what I used to know cost over 250points!

A gun drone squad only gets 8 shots, not 16! They are twinlinked, you reroll if you miss. They don't have 2 carbines each. I think if they did, every Tau player would have 3 full squads of drones, and drones with every unit, in every game.


I just watched a game with Guard vs. Blood Angels. A dreadnought (character?) had raged up into the Guards' firing lines, and was about to charge next turn. The 3 units of guardsmen moved into position and fired on it. Each squad had grenades. The very last squad managed to get just barely behind the dreadnought. The commander lobbed his grenade, and it disappeared into the dreadnought. Back on the table, the roll was penetrating 6!! At least a dozen guardsmen died! BWAHAHAHAHA!

My most amazing moment was wen 2 crisis suits survived for 5 turns against 2 squads of veteran terminators, they killed 5 of them before they died, then they got ripped to shreds by rapid fire from 24 fw. he he he take that.

Hehe, Crisis suits in combat are pretty fun.

It's not that amazing, but my Shas'O survived for like 4 turns against an enemy Chaplain before finishing him off and jetting out of reach of the terminators that were about to charge. I still lost that game (turns ran out), but that's one less suit of power armor for the imperium!

it was the first 40k battle that i was in so as soon as my crisis suits got into cc, i thought they were dead by the second round of combat

The other day, play my 'Nids vs my buddies Orks. He has these two trakks with tl Rockit launchers just beating the crap outa my big stuff. So, I decide, I got a couple of warriors and a 'fex, that were in the area to smash them into little itty bits. Well, guess what. One Carifex, (tooled for CC smashiness) and two warriors, (multipurpose), hit these wartrakks once. Due to the terrain and number of bugs in the are, they had only moved 6", so I was hitting on 4+. I would be moderately mollified if it was the 'fex. You know, S10, MC so auto pen on armour 10. Nope it was a warrior. He didn't even glance the darn thing. At that moment, my buddy and I looked at each other, paused the game for a laughter attack.

Same game. I have a largish brood of stealers and a BIG brood of spinegaunts moving up on a small mob of flashgits and a full mob of Tank bustas, (10 of them). I figure, okay one unit will get smushed and one unit will be okay. Or if he is stupid, both units will get a bit roughed up. Nope, Flashgits completely wipe out stealers, to a ....man. The tankbutas shoot up my gaunts and they go running off. Next turn, guants rally, Synapse range, and kick the crap out of a unit of bikes, (five of them) for three turns. Go figer.

Among my gaming group, I'm known for being incredably lucky with scatter dice, but terrible with my attacks and saves.

I once rolled 27 'hits' (out of 27 rolls of the scatter dice) in a single game (and managed to pen-in an entire Tau army behind a wall of Spore Mines).

That same game, I also lost a Carnifex to a single surviving Gun Drone in CC.

This was all before the new codex and the toughness upgrades... my opponent'll never be doing that again. :D

i've got 6 things:

1) killing a 5 man BA termie squad in one turn with nurgle's rot

2) having typhus survive 4 turns of shooting from
-2 hammerheads with railguns
-3 broadsides
-24 firewarriors
-3 crisis suits with plasma guns, fusion blasters and multi-trackers
-8 gun drones

3) having a squad of plague marines reduced to 1 guy with a melta gun first turn, (since he made his 6+ cover save vs. a railgun shot) moved forward through difficult terrain(rolling two 6's) putting him almost exactly 12" away from the front of a devilfish, hitting(with a 6), rolling a 6 for ap, and then rolling a 6 on the dammage table damage

4) seeing a basilisk shot scatter from a unit of necron warriors onto a unit of gaurdsmen, killing all but one, who fled directly into said necrons

5) seeing a bloodthirster being killed by a single firewarrior in cc

6) seeing a pentient engine and a dreadnought in cc for almost the entire game, both immobilized in the first round of combat, and then never hitting each other ever again

Having a dreadnought and a broadside shoot at each other with lascannons, missile launchers and railguns for a whole game... and both failing to do a single bit of damage to each other. *laughs*

Having a dreadnought and a broadside shoot at each other with lascannons, missile launchers and railguns for a whole game... and both failing to do a single bit of damage to each other. *laughs*
Now THAT is classic. Let me guess, by the end you were both laughing at it.

When I used to play Dark Eldar and before the new Guard came out, I used Reaver jetbikes as a delivery unit for a Haemonculus&Sybarite, turboboosting them for the invulnerable save. I was under fire from 2 squads of IG, 2 armed w/ Heavy Bolter. I save against everything, until a Commissar w/ a Laspistol (only guy able to assult) fired one shot and I failed the save.

1. A sqd of Rangers fires at my 5 termies. He scores several wounds but I roll 5 1's for amror save and they all die. (This was during the last chaos codex around the middle of 3rd edition)
2. My sqd of 10 berzerkers fire bolt pistols at my friends sqd of 8 Dark Angels. 9 hit and I score 8 wounds exactly and he failes them all!!! Nothing but 1's and 2's!

My God, I'm just brimming over with these things - how about my terminator Lord surviving the combined fire of 28 rapid-firing lasguns, 3 multi-lasers, a heavy flamer, 4 heavy bolters, a demolisher cannon, two lascannons, an autocannon, two melta guns and a grenade launcher. No 2+ or 5+ inv. saves were failed, and it seemed Tzeentch was truly with him...
That was until he came up against a commissar with a power fist, later on in the game. He had one wound left. The Lord's 7 attacks cut the commissar to bits, but then, his dark blade suddenly decided it fancied a bit of Tzeentch Lord soul for dinner...when he failed his mastery test and killed himself with the blade.

How about my Rhino, Snowbell, taking out all three of my opponent's commander's wounds via Storm Bolter with nary a Crew Shaken? I had nothing better to do, after all. Snowbell had been Immoblized by a BOLT PISTOL TO THE REAR ARMOR earlier in the game.

I once saw a single guardsmen survive a whole squad of tau stealth suit fire, the next turn the lone guardsmen assaulted the 6 stealth suits, the assault ended ina draw, so then the players rolled for moral high ground. Stealth suits failed and then failed the ld test, The lone guardsmen sweeping advanced, and they ere slaughtered by the lones guardsmen bum bum bum

That makes me a sad Shas'o...

I was gunna say that the lones guardsmen was going to be made a war hero and sent to terra for a vacation but alas the tau player vaporized the poor guy with a solid railgun shot. It was a mess, but maybe that will cheer you up my tau friend.

It goes against all the Tau'va stands for...but I do take some solace in his death...

*Finishes writing report to the Shas'Ar'Tol about CC and Stealth training...

*Leaves the room after a curt bow.

Good day to you commander, I hope the men who died recieved proper rights, including your brave, and apparently skilled, guardsman.

Shas'o Tau Dev'n Kauyon

My fire warriors killed a charging callidus assassin in hand to hand. :D

And my devilfish killed a wraithlord.

My GKGM has 3 leman russ kills to his psycannon. Amazing.

Today, I fought Catachans w/ my Cadians and took two Chimeras armed w/ Heavy Flamer. I charge them into the fray, fry about 30 Catachans, then the last one w/ Flamer hits both in the side armor and destroys both of them with glancing hits. The odds of that happening=1 in 1296!

Just played a game today against Chaos Undivided. I had a 10 pt. Stormtrooper left from a squad where the others had been killed by shooting. He was then charged by 10 Temies with powerfists. As he went first, he killed one. I was happy :) . Then, he either failed to hit or failed to wound with all of his attacks, which meant that I won combat. He then failed his leadership roll. My 1 10 pt. Stormtrooper then sweeping advanced and killed the rest of the squad. :o

My Callidus Assasin was killed by FIRE-WARRIORS in CC. That was bad. (Thank you AoS!).

Then Again my 60pt Storm Trooper Sqaud (with Meltagun) managed to destroy a 130pt Fire Prisim (with CTM). And SoB killed 10 'Crons in a sweeping advance!

Yossanrion

Last night I played a 3-way battle with my Tau army against Nids and Ironhands.

At the end of the game one of the Nid players Carnifexes, the CC-oriented one. finally arrives at my front. Most of my fire have been spent on the other one. Anyway, this Fex has three wounds left and Regeneration, Crushingclaws etc. The model was worth over 250 pts with CC options! So i figure, I charge it with Aun shi, i'ts worth a shot... sho he and his retuine, or whats left of it (three models) charge tawards this huge monster.

There is just one slight problem, the Fex is in cover... but what the hell, he challenged me for duel to try out his new Fex, and the game is almost over anyway so why deny him the plesure to chrush my tinywiny little Special char... (of course we didn't have a rulebook at this time and i havn't checked it yet, but I'm not so sure Monstrous creatures get additional initiative from being in cover... But I let him have it his way since I'm not sure.

So the fext goes first with like seven, perhaps eight attacks, four hit... three firewarriors go down directly. Aun'shi passes his Inv. save :). I strike back, but only one attack hit, and it doesn't wound.

The fex rolls for Regen but no 6 is rolled.

New Assaullt phase, and Aun'shi have the Initiative! WIIIE!!!11!!one! I roll 4 dice to hit, all does so but wait! "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO H! three sexes and one hit have just been rolled! what an amaizing performance!!!... The fex dies. :D

A kid found it funny to have a landraider and a bunch of termies in it in a 1000pt game /swt

So, I decided to use my goff orks. On my first turn, my slaver armed with a rockit launcha takes out his landraider! Unfortunantly none of his termies died. So, Afer a turn or two they get charged by he warboss and his scarboyz... The warboss, with SIXZ STRENGHT 10 ATTACKS didnt do anything! Next phase they got owned by the silly termies.

Now, he was really happy at this turn of events. Eventually all he had left was his termies, and the closest thing to them were the grot mob.

Terminator1: {looks around}

Terminator2: mm?

Terminator1: {spots grots}

Teminator3: {shrugs}

{Terminators charge grots}

In the last turn of the ame.. the VERY last assult phase, my grots kill the termies.. all of them! :eek:

He wasnt very happy at that!

And I love it that that mob killed both the landraider AND the termies... boy i love grots.

i have a very good one bloodthirster vs eldar he took out 3 wraithlords avatar with the court of the young king (scary) then charged a next set of units and was swated by a farseer my friend then took that model and painted it with blood as a sign of victory next battle he does it again as i rush the feild and need to get in into cc to stop the hail storm sure eghough same model walks over box cars and i roll a 1 and die without striking a single wound he wont let me forget it

My Stealth Suits were charged by an Inqusitor and a few Servo Skulls. Inquisitor proceeds to roll all ones. Servo Skull knocks off a Suit. Suits fall back. We laughed for about 5 minutes over that. I think it went like this:

Inquisitor:'FOR THE EMPEROR!' *Charges suits*
Suits: 'Brace for impact!'
I: *Runs into Shas'vre, falls over*
Servo Skull: *Wacks a suit in the helmet*
Suit: *Falls over*
Team: '...RUN!' *Runs* 'Jeeesssuss, did you see that skull?'

Then, of course, they rallied soon after and proceeded to hose down the Inquisitor and his stupid skulls with 12 S5 SP5 cannon shots, which killed them quite throughly.

4 Fire Warriors beat 12...uh, those Manta-ray deamons after they charged me. 0 wounds to 1, then a failed leadership test.

To day as i was playing against a kroot merc. army, i had a whole squad of 20 kroot carnivores do a death or glory charge against my HH and they got ripped to shreds by the flashetti dishcharger that i paid for. My opponent was so mad at me...
the fletchette discharger can only kill 1 model.

Well, he can't even spell the upgrade right. I doubt he knows how to use it properly. And why did he tell us he paid for it? Guilty?

Wierd. Smells fishy to me.

*

Servo-skulls always seem to be in wierd moments when I face them. If a whole rentinue fails to hit/wound then I can always be sure a servo-skull will hit my best model and remove its last wound. :glare:

i had a frickin grot kill my black templar high marshal my emperors champion, then my high marshal again after he got back up from the old bionics rule......ouch
i also pumped like 9 las canons/krak missles into a dark eldar bike and it frickin lived............

i also pumped like 9 las canons/krak missles into a dark eldar bike and it frickin lived............

Not a big deal, if it was a HQ on a bike.. Shadowfields confers nice 2++ saves :)

But shadow fields never seems to work for me. I never made more than 3 saves with it in any battle, and I have even lost a n arcoho in single combat to a shas´o once. The archon drug charged ahead of his unit, took a wound on an overdose, but hit with all 6 attacks. However, he failed to wound on every single blow, and in return the shas´o broke the field in the first blow, and wounded him again on his second attack :o Tau rule cc...

Meh. I had a lone ratling who charged a squad of hormagunts. He hit on both his attacks, and killed two hormagaunts. The hormagaunts missed all there attacks. He attacked again, and killed another hormagunt. They attacked, and they either miss/or he made hsi save. This kept going on for 7-8 turns, until the ratling had killed all the hormagunts. He was then charged by a squad of Spinegaunts, and he was in cover so he struck first. he killed one, they missed all there attacks, he killed another, htye still missed there attacks...

That lone ratling held up 2 squads for the whole game, always making his saves.

*sniff* almost everything else in my armey died though...

ive had my space marine terminators wiped out in every battle except for when my commander accompanied them, although h'd be the lone survivor

ive had my space marine terminators wiped out in every battle except for when my commander accompanied them, although h'd be the lone survivor

Sure is expensive cannon fodder :lol:

my termies have been burned,impaled diced and pretty much hsgsgb ed in every way imaginable. i still cry when im alone

I once shot a leman russ battle cannon at a squad of space marine terminators. I got a direct hit and wounded them all and then 4 out of the 5 failed their 2+ save as the battle cannon is only AP3. It was the most amazing day of my life.

I had a squad of terminators being assaulted by my opponent's Chaplain, and it ended up with me requiring 4 5+ saves. Turns out, I passed them all! Those termies proceeded to pass 5+ saves for the rest of the game, at least until the Chaplain was killed.

I got 3 6's out of 4 with my assault cannon that same battle. My opponent sure wasn't happy about that.

Hi,

My friend and i were doing a 2 vs 2 game with a few newbie friends (me and newb vs friend and newb), Space Wolves (me) and Necrons(newb) VS Imperial Guard (friend) and DaemonHunters(newb).

My friend didn't like the look of my team mates necron lord so he shot at him with his auto-cannon team (3 shots) each one hit giving the necron lord 3 invunerable saves. :(

Thats's when my necron friend decided that he'd tell me that his freaking Necron Lord didn't have a bl**dy invunerable save, killing him second turn.
:eek:
Then him being pissed that he lost his lord, he sent his warriors into close-combat with the imperial guardsman. All ten of his warriors got slaughtered necrons only killing 2 guardsman.

I was stuffed...

I was facing off against my brothers Legion of the Damned marines (Damn those Damned marines..as i always say.). Most of the game was going terrible for me. His Chaplan and assualt retinue crushed my Commander, and most everything was going wrong.
Turn 2 comes around my Devastor squad gets a line of fire for one of his tact squads. 1 plasma cannon, 2 missle launchers, and 1 Heavy bolter all fire, all miss but one heavy bolter round. His marine makes the save.

Later my Drop podded Veteran squad arrives, the storm bolter on the DP is in range of the same squad the D squad shot at. It fires its storm bolter WITH A BS OF 2 mind you. I roll a 5 and 6 to hit and two 4s to wound. Bro rolls for save fails both. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!

So end of the story is a Machine spirt with a BS of 2 can shoot better than a marine squad put together just because there freckin' good at shooting in the first place! :eek:

my nids are pretty pathetic

in one battle against my brothers iron warriors (1000 points)

one of my hormie units - 12 strong - charged 6 iron warriors. didnt kill one and got wiped out in return.

my hive tyrant... charged a lone oblitorator and got killed....

my spinegaunts (around 14 of them)... shoot some iron warriors and charge them (the same unit of 6 listed above for the hormies i might add) and manage to kill one...

in that battle all i managed to kill was one space marine and one oblitorator (the same one that killed my hive tyrant). my army however was wiped out - every model.

over the last 3 months my nids have a 100% losing record...

when i learned that guardsmen had jetbikes and marines had a shuriken catapult back in the old days
let not forget when a medic had a thing called a "carnifex"
http://zachary.org/games/gw/sp2.jpg

Wow, techmarines used to be normal marines with corny cheap looking tools? Wow, that's hilaroius. And I have no idea what that medic with carnifex is holding.

God isn't it obvious!!!!
Hes holding a Tyranid Monsterous Creature. :D :p

:lol:

playing against a friend, where all he had to do was get in contact with the object in my base (which was a shot glass) and he would win. Well all that come close was a squad of chaos marines, down to one guy, decided not to shoot a lone guardsman standing near him, killed by one guardsman w/lasgun

Having one of my Firewarriors stolen by a crow. Seeing an unsupervised Gamestore kid eat (literaly) some poor guy's Khorne Berzerker.Gamewise I've seen a handful of Guardsmen kill a Daemon Prince by themself. It was a sad day for the servants of chaos.


wow, a crow stole a firewarrior. lol. lol. lol lol.

well. my wierdest moments, include rapid firing with a squad of 10 and getting 3 hits, and none of those hits wounded any guardsmen.

A storm bolter kills a carnifex with 2 wounds left

1 Eldar ranger chases down 30 mutants in CQC

4 Firewarriors chased down 15 genesteallers

My squad of 10 terminators is forced to take 8 invulnerable saves. 8 are made

My wolf lord succesfully made 7 4+ invulnerable saves against attacks that would have insta killed him if he failed.

turn 6 of a game Tau VS eldar. If the tau player can kill my wave serphent he wins by victory points. He rolls and hits. then procedes to roll a 1 for the penatration....

My space worf blood claws get shot by 24 pulse rifles 18 wound 17 saves made. they get shot by 1 lasgun 1 guy dies.

10 man squad of Grey hunters is rapid fired into by a squad of warp spiders and one dies from 13 armor saves. The grey hunters rapid fires back and kills them all.

hmmmi seem to rember when i was just starting out playing a 500 point game against this guard player... losing everything but the mobility on a wirlwind while he still had like 3 or 4 squads with lasguns 1 w/ a plasma rifle.... this was the end of his turn 1 to. Mad i reved up the engine of the wirlwind and started tank shocking some of his units. First up was the unit with the cannon the failed their moral check and ran off the table. His he turn scoots slowly from the wirlwind. The Wirldwind runs over to anouther squad again they fail their moral check (im beginig to sense a patern here.) The next squad scoot further away. The wirlwind runs after the last squad falling a few inches short The squad backs up into some ruins and i chase after them and roll a 1 on the difficult terrain test. Ah well guard win by 60 points thats life

i just though of somethinghow many people have acually had to fire their hbs on the baslisk?

Was playing against my friends space marines last year, and his chapter master gets into cc with the remainder of a guardian squad ( 4-5 of them). He rolls four 1s, gets wounded, and fails his leadership test, running away in shame.........

(The chapter master has now been repainted and is now performing a lot better in combat)


Some time ago, I play against the same guy, its Ultwe against Ultwe.......My Seer Council gets into cc with his guardian defender squad............after a couple of turns, my usual luck fails me ( You cannot believe how many 4+ saves I make with my Seer Council....its a real pain to all the others in the clubb ^^) and my Seer council loses, flees and is run down by common guardians...........


Guess we're even now :p

Just played a game today against Chaos Undivided. I had a 10 pt. Stormtrooper left from a squad where the others had been killed by shooting. He was then charged by 10 Temies with powerfists. As he went first, he killed one. I was happy :) . Then, he either failed to hit or failed to wound with all of his attacks, which meant that I won combat. He then failed his leadership roll. My 1 10 pt. Stormtrooper then sweeping advanced and killed the rest of the squad. :o

holy $^%# that is the luckiest thing i have ever heard about. a 10 point model making back 400 points!

wtf!

that stromtrooper should be the general of your army!

Today i had a battle were a Dark templar chaplin had one wound left and he charged my last tank that i had to try to kill its side armor with his powerfist. He rolled his 2+ armor save and got killed! And I was happy! :)

I was playing against BT with my Alatoic army in 500pts. He was using a Venerable dreadnought & it was owning while the rest of his army got slaughtered. He shot a pathfinder sqaud & left one remaining. Pathfinder shoots, Sniper rifles always glance on a 6, i roll a 6. I rolled on the damage chart & got a 6 & on the re-roll i got a 6. Needless to say the pathfinder is now the object of my eternal affection :p

Having one of my Firewarriors stolen by a crow.

:lol: oh, that's fresh. See, even crows hate Tau :lol:

How about having 3 guardsmen wipe out an Incubi retinue, then making the Archon flee, and then chasing him down.

Hehe, his weekend there is a gaming convention in Stockholm, and today in my second game I fought against orks.....No problem, thinks I, until his looted basilik destroys my falcon in the first turn, and then my wave-serpent in the second (at the same spot, too :P - the wave-serpent was hovering above the wreck...).


My seer coucil went off pretty well, killing one of the five bikes in the second turn, and loosing 3 warlocks to them later in shooting and cc.....then all I have remaining of that unit is an avatar, a farseer (with fortune, of course) and a warlock.

The warlock went down rather quick, but the avatar and the farseer stood up to and almost killed TWO full mobs of orks (20 in each I think), for 4 consecutive turns: that's 8 rounds of cc........
They were dragged down in the last turn, but both ork mobs were way below 50% unit strentgh.

I lost the game but I am very proud of the way I played defense against overwhelming odds!
(and especially my 5+ saves on the avatar^^)
