Two funny stories: One. During a game against Dark Angels, who fielded no less than NINE lascannons and 4 plasma cannons. My vehicles: One lone, very scared land raider. Shooting phase came around. Dark Angel gunnery skills paid off as every single shot hit. Yet when it came time to roll for penetration, he never got higher than 2! On my turn, I used the Machine Spirit rule to attack a Dread in cover. Roll to hit, roll to glance, roll for effect: 666. I don't think any of us stopped laughing for at least 5 minutes. And I never saw him play with THOSE dice again

This isn't an in game story, but it is because of Turn Signals so I thought I would post it.

I am currently working on a Space Marine army. I mentioned to my best friend that when I got done I was going to do a Valhallan IG army. Well, he was on Ebay and saw someone selling a Valhallan command unit for a good price (three squads) so he got it for me. One of the minitures was actually a Catachan heavy bolter. Well since my friend plays Catachan I asked if he wanted it. He said sure.

So the entire time I am going to get it out of my case, I picture the Heavy Bolter Guy saying his good byes ala a major league sports player trade. And of course they were all drawn in TSoaLR style.

Thats funny! Reminds me of a friend of mine... he would talk to his minis while he painted them like he was their CO. He had the really old imperial guard guys (the metal ones with plastic arms). He was painting red onto the gun's targeting lens and saying,"Ok men, today we're getting new targeters!"

God!!! I used to do that when I was playing Blood Bowl in days of Yore... Every time I got a new mini and was painting it up, I used to do voices for my team saying "We've got a new member, lads" and then would say that when I was painting the clothes, that was the day his strip was arriving...

Sad but true...

Can you believe my situation today?

1.INCLUDING TODAY,I HAD ALL THE FIRST-TURN DECIDING D6 1s!!

2.INCLUDING TODAY,I HAD LOST ALL 9 BATTLES SINCE I START PLAYING 40K!! :EVIL:

3.Today I played a 1v1v1 500pts battle,with Ultra vs Tau vs Crons.A Wriath went into CC against my 10-men Fire Warriors,but then it can't kill anything in 3-4 turns and get killed 2 times by my FWs(restored by WWB).This pissed off the Crons player and me,the SM player,and the Cron player's friends (who're playing Fantasy on next table) laughed alot on this.

Wow, thats really bad luck Brim.

Anybody else here notice that if you are playing an army with a highish armour save, SM, Necrons, Tau etc you fail the armour saves more frequently then with IG, Tyranids etc ???

not really sure where to put this... anyway:

contributing funny ideas, or potential subjects material.

Heres one: What do marines do when they are riding in a rhino? Do they simply sit and pray... or play car games like 20 questions? Geography? Name game (use daemon names), license plate game, punch buggie, or better yet the "break the ring" game (weird one where you make a ring with your fingers and hold it below your waist, and when someone looks at it, you get to punch them, but if they put their finger in your ring, then they get to punch you multiple times.

What do they do in there? Cant imagine they have much space either..

anyway, if anyone has any more funny ideas, just post em. who knows, maybe it could be in a comic some time!

Seeing DeathWing charge a mob of gretchin and watch as two of the termies were pulled down and presumably violated by the little green guys. Didnt matter how many gretchin died in return - nothing could beat that. (the whole 30 gretchin squad wasnt worth as many points as the two termies).

Anybody else here notice that if you are playing an army with a highish armour save, SM, Necrons, Tau etc you fail the armour saves more frequently then with IG, Tyranids etc

Probably because you GET a lot more saves than the IG, tyranids etc.
And the Orks especially seem to make a lot of those damn 6+ saves.

Also you would expect the low armour guys to die in great numbers, i cant imagine any ork player getting annoyed about 1/2 a dozen slugga boys getting shot to death.
On the other hand every dead Space Marine is either:
"plasma cannons/lascannons are so cheesy. cant believe they go through armour thats such *****"
OR
"I cant believe i rolled a 1! its so unfair. Space Marines should be invincible!"

That still doesn't compare to when 4 terminators were brought down by my 11 grots ( I might have already posted this earlier in this forum.

I was playing against my friends Space Wolves with my feral orks. After a couple turns we were in h2h where the warboss on super cyboar w/a power claw and nob squad slaughter a wolf lord and command squad. Only the warboss lived and went on a rampage, accounting for half a dev. squad, a scout squad, 1/3 of a tac. squad, then a leman russ exterminator and finaly a vindicator. The funniest thing was the unarmed ork truck (i forgot to pay the cost for the gun) forcing the other wolf lord to fall back for two full turns to go off the table edge after the wolves lost a close combat. The wolves shot the bejesus out of the unit they lost to as they fell back though.

Moved and reposted here on behalf of ev1lpenguin...

Picture the scene, a squad of devestators drinking tea with a wood in the background, exchanging small talk. Then a bright blue flash lights up the forest, and they become alert. Cut to the forest, where a black legion champion is standing, smoking next to two dead Chaos marines. He says :"Bloody plasma guns"

This actually happened to me in a game too....

Back in 3rd edition, I was playing in a small 5 player game. Team1:DH and Deathwing. Team2:Eldar(me), Tyranid and Tau.
Imperiums boys(team1) were defending a small fortification and team2 attacked.

My army was Farseer+3warlocks, 6Banshees+exarch powerblades, 8storm guardians and 2 small groups of rangers. Tau and the nids did nothing so I won't talk about them. Dh had 6terminators+ grandmaster, 6greyknight. Deathwing... Well make a guess 2squads+ master.

Team1 got the first turn and they decided to slice me first. All of their terminators started to come to me. Team2 Tau: Hammerhead shot one greyknight. (whoa!) Nids moved closer. I started my counter attack with banshees and guardians.

Team1 they moved closer...
Team2: Me: I charged the deathwing terminators and their master with the banshees, killed all of them and then sweeped to the DH terminators. By that time the deathwing player was a bit annoyed. The fight between DH terminators and my banshees ended after 2 more turns. I had won again in cc. 8StormGuardians and 3banshees actually shot the remaining 5Greyknight with shuriken pistols.

Now how sad game is that.

BTW: After the game DH player actually sold his army to the Deathwing player.

3rd edition

well, this might not be as funny to people that dont know us, but i was playing smurfs vs. my friends eldar, and he was allied with a couple of harlies.

to start the game off, ive got a LR filled with a teched out command squad and commander (crappy pts wise, i know, but its fun to play with ). anyway, he gets the first turn, and he goes around and just pings some bullets off of the marines armor. finally, hes just about done and notices the death jester w/ a bright lance that is sitting in the corner. you can probably guess what happens next. while im busy gloating about the abysmal results of his first turn, he starts a final roll. the conversation went something like this:

"sucker. that should teach you to mess..."
"3+ to hit...5"
"...with the emperor's finest. just wait til my turn starts. you..."
"4+ to glance...4"
"are so screwed. are you done..."
<he rolls on the glancing hit table>
"6"
"Bull. Shit."

that last line was emotionless. no suprise or anything, just stunned disbelief. 3 of the marines were killed in the blast, and instead of driving my assault squad of doom across the table and into his waiting dark reapers or other weakling eldar, they got to slug across the board in a hail of starcannon fire. i did come back to win the game, but im still pissed about that. to make matters worse, they were apparently taping the whole thing for some odd reason (a couple of my friends are into video editing) so im never allowed to forget.
