I love reminding my opponent they can CP reroll successes, and have even asked them to do so when they make their saves. They never seem to do so though...
As a Drukhari player, words cannot describe the sheer sadistic thrill I derive from rolling my Archon's 2+ invun. I don't even look at the dice, just stare my opponent in the eye and roll those delicious cubes one by one as the most heinous shit-eating grin snakes across my face and the light of love and hope fades from their eyes. Then I immediately roll a 1 and reconsider ritual suicide. 10/10, most thematic rule in 10th edition.
my favorite total failure was in a game of Kill Team I played where after the first turn, I never rolled a single success for the entire rest of the game.
So i have a story from a few months back. I was playing firestorm SM and my friend was playing Iron Warriors my 10 man unit of Infernus marines (pre AP-1 update) shot into a 10 man chosen unit. 31 shots go into the chosen 29 wounds are rolled 1 damage goes through to the chosen. My salt levels were and are high enough to make every freshwater body of water on the planet become uninhabitable. Another friend recently did the math and there was less than 0.2% chance of that happening. I'm not mad, just ABSOLUTELY LIVID.
The literal first game I ever played, was getting a lesson with my buddy from the local GW employee, and I had to roll like 10-15 dice for my Tyranid mass to fire. Every. Single. Dice. Rolled one, except for one 6 crit. Half the store came over to see it and joke about how I should stop before I even start buying models ☠️
You took my two great hobbies, 40K and wrestling, and managed to meld them together with that Steiner math clip haha. It absolutely made my day! Thank you so much!
What a funny story! I appreciate your first game of AoS, atill hoping that you'll make more AoS videos. But, since you asked and mentioned AoS 3, here are some of my funny dice stories from it: The first was when I was playing a friend we were both fairly new, but I helped get him into the hobby. He was playing Slaves to Darkness and I was playing Stormcast. He'd managed to break through my lines, and his Varanguard(hyper elite Cavalry) successfully charged into my Vanguard Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows. Once they finished moving into my unit, I used Unleash Hell(basically a psuedo-Overwatch). Now, at the time, Vanguard Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows hit on 3's, wound on 2's, have Rend(AP) 2, and if they roll a 6 to hit, it just turns into mortals. I rolled enough 6's to hit that it took out about half of his total pool of 15 wounds on mortals alone, then the remaining shots just cleaned up the rest. I thought I was in trouble, but all I did was kill his charging melee unit with my guns before he could swing his sword. I felt bad about it because it was extremely disheartening for him, but BOY was it a memorable story. The second was at a GT I went to back in the summer of 2023. I was playing Gloomspite Gitz, my opponent was playing Soulblight Gravelords. I had been playing farily cagey most of the game, trying my best to avoid an unfavorable engagement with his Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon, but my castle of Grots was no match for him rolling a 12 to cast Spirit Gale, which at the time would deal 1 Mortal to every enemy unit, and if an unmodified 9+ was rolled, then it was 2 mortals. So I lost a TON of models to Battleshock. That was the first of the game-changing die rolls. The second came in when I finally decided to engage his VLoZD. I charged into it with my Squig Cavalry, I thought I'd clean it up without issue. After all, I'd dealt some damage to it with magic earlier that turn, so their impact mortals, combined with their powerful weapons on the charge would mean that I shouldn't have any issue taking it out with average or even below average luck. However, I'd completely forgotten that he had an effect enabled that let him fight first, so when I charged, into him and didn't kill it with the impact damage, I felt my heart sink as he reminded me and proceeded to leave only 3 Squigs remaining, by the end of the Combat Phase, his VLoZD was left on 1 wound, and my Squigs were dead and fleed from Battleshock. I only needed 1 more roll, or 1 failed Ward(Feen No Pain) save from them to change the ENTIRE game in my favor.😭(Even if I did make a tactical blunder) This final story is from another casual game with a different friend from the first story. I was playing Maggotkin of Nurgle, they were playing Sylvaneth. To score a Battle Tactic(secondary objective), they teleported a group of 5 Tree Revenants onto one of my home objectives and positioned a Treelord nearby to make sure that both could take the objective from me. Now I was playing The Glottkin(big Nurgle centerpiece, think of them like an AoS Mortarion), they had a special Command Ability(Stratagem) that would let themselves and another nearby Maggotkin unit roll to charge on the opponent's turn. I don't remember the exact number I needed, but to charge with The Glottkin I rolled a 12, which let me get into the combat ranges of both his Revenants and Treelord. The Glottkin also had an ability that let it deal 5 mortals to a unit in combat with it on a 2+, and after rolling the 2+ into the Tree Revenants, all 5 of the 1 wound models were dead. Then, once the Combat Phase was over, his Treelord was also dead, and the Glottkin had taken only minimal damage that the Nurgle army rule(at the time) would just heal off. He surrendered one turn later after I made a 9" charge to get my fly cavalry into his deployment zone and take another home objective after gaining control of the center.
AOS certainly has potential for funny dice moments. Awhile back (can't remember whether it was 2nd or 3rd edition) I was playing a 2v3 big battle with some friends, something like 1500 + 1500 vs 1k + 1k + 1k, khorne and ironjawz vs 2 ogor forces and some seraphon. We got into combat in the middle of the table, and towards the end of the battle the khorne and orruks were kind of falling apart vs the ogors. However, I'd gotten enough blood tithe points to summon in a bloodthirster, so I summoned the one with the giant axe and rolled *barely* enough to get him into combat (think it was like a 10 or 11). This particular bloodthirster used to have a rule where if he rolled a 6 to wound, *every* enemy within 8" of him would take 8 mortal wounds, and somehow I rolled 4 6's to wound. Idk what was funnier, the fact that I managed to summon a literal asteroid that just annihilated the bulk of 3 players' armies all at once, or the fact that one of my opponents had a nearby stonehorn that spiked its 5+ feel no pain and managed to survive the incoming 32 damage
Not Warhammer but dice luck strikes all tabletop games with dice. My friend was playing his first match of Battletech in a 2v2 set up where one player on each team could only bring mechs and the other teammate could only bring conventional forces. He was the conventional forces player on his team in a Mercs vs Comguard battle. The Comguard mech player spent an obscene amount of his allotted battle value on the biggest mech he could bring, a 100 ton Atlas assault mech with maxed out pilot. Not far into the game my friend's Scorpion light tank, a cheap throw away pick normally only good in numbers, fired on the Atlas, rolled a hit, through-armor crit and rolled an ammo-rack hit on the Atlas's AC-20 ammo. The biggest and most expensive piece on the board got it's cannon ammo blown up taking the rest of the mech with it. That tank mini now has a four-leaf clover painted on the turret and is called the Lucky Shot.
I've been giving you a hard time about it so I think I should also be vocal about saying thank you for slowing down and taking the time to annunciate everything. Sounds great.
These videos are always so good, the battle reports are sorely missed from the old GW days (they used to write and stage them in much more exciting ways) and this step-by-step documentation of particular incidents during the conflict is very well done and makes sense to us idiot tabletoppers. You seem to have a much keener sense of the rules than you’ve given yourself credit for, and it makes for incredibly entertaining content. Cheers!
for reference yes bring it down has no cap which makes it absolutely worth trying to fish for and yes you can in theory score all your secondary points in a single round will it happen no but is it possible yes.
Happened last Weekend actually. We were playing a 2k game of Tyranids vs Dark Angels. The key parts of our armies here is the Tyrannofex and the Land Raider. I got turn one, both were aiming their barrels at each other. I didn't spend my CP for any buffs, I shot at his Land Raider with with the funny Rupture Cannon. He uses Deploy Smokes and gave himself another +1 while in cover (I think that works? I am still pretty new to 10e). So he had a 4+ save against my two rupture cannon shots. Both Hit. He fails both saves. Both Wound. I roll bare minimum to kill his Land Raider turn 1. After that he rolls to explode, the Land Raider is in the middle of his army with a squad of Death Wing Knights in it. Yea it explodes, and takes out a Terminator, Aggressor, and a Intercessor. It didn't help him that he also set the Land Raider onto an objective so I got the Overwhelming force point on it turn 1.
I once had Angron charge into that one Flamer land raider which overwatched. Angron got brought down to 4 wounds through the flamers alone, then barely scratched the Land Raider
couple things of note, titanic knights can just walk through ruins int eh move phase with risk of battleshock and bring it down is no cap like you said so very scary for us chaos knight players. enjoyable content as always mate, love it.
I had a similar case of luck in misfortune. I played votanns against tyranids. I had a combo of Hekaton land fortress + 5 hearthguard (Dwarf terminators). I managed to lower down one of enemy big monsters to 1 hp by other means in my army, so I decided to bring it down with termies. Termies had a weapon with stats: 3A 5S 0Ap 1D Devastating Wounds. After hit rolls I managed to get 16 hits (due to some sustained hits). Now I was in front of a wound roll of 16 dices with full re-roll and +1 to wound due to grudge tokens. I needed just one "6". First roll: Not a single 6. Statistically it should be at least around two and yet not a single one appeared. I brushed it off with " Unlucky, whatever... That's why I have full re-roll". Re-rolled and... Not a single "6". At this point both me and my opponent were like "Wtf. How is that possible, what are the chances?". I was already dealt with the fact that the monster lives, but there was one dice of "5" that managed to slip through. My oponent had to make a 2+ safe roll against a one hit of 0ap dmg 1 shot and... he failed! I managed to kill his monster, which put him back a lot in the game and made me win the match! Back then both me and my friend understood that statistics mean nothing in this game xD. We later on calculated what are the odds of not getting a single "6" in 32 rolls and it was 0,3%. That was funny adventure that became a meme we will never forget!
My favorite roll of all time is with my Imperial Knight: Eula. I was playing a 3v1 game during 9th edition, me and 2 other buddies were all 2k points of space marines versus 6k points of daemons and chaos knights. They got the pleasure of playing DOOM as they dealt with the Daemons and I had to play Mobile Suit Gundam as my men were fighting War Dogs and Knights. Though I had some anti-tank, I couldnt deal with them without some ballsy tactics. In a hail mary gambit, my severely wounded knight, Eula, had to make a 12 inch charge to intercept the Knight coming for my Repulsor. I failed the first roll, but then with a command point reroll, she made the boxcars roll! She charged in, cleaved the knight in half, then my daemon buddy rolled a 6 for deadly demise. They blew up taking me with them, but I had Eula give a middle finger on the way out by auto-detonating myself, which caused a catastophic chain reaction as we somehow rolled 6s for the damage and more deadly demises. By the time the dust settled only like 4 war dogs were left on that side as my space marines watched in horror yet pride as Eula sacrificed herself to turn the right side of the table into a nuclear mushroom cloud.
My knight list highlights a Porphyrion as the centerpiece for 710pts. It can do a potential 144 wounds with it's primary weapons, I've one shot doomsday arks, dreadnoughts, gladiator tanks, and even did 36 damage to a knight valiant once. It's also whiffed 14 attacks against a single squad of swooping hawks killing only two of them.
I actually really like the added +1 to wound on oath target for codex space marines because everyone hasn't forgotten previously when taking codex space marines was absolutely throwing. Now with the upgraded oath, your turn's entire strategy and gameplan revolves around the one (or two with gorillaboy) oath targets. I find it very thematic, how your entire space marine army is all strategizing and coordinating against the target of their hatred that they swear to take down.
my Chaplin and assault intercessors where charged by 5 custodians and a blade champion, 7 intercessors where turned to a fine red mist but the blade champion rolled 5 one's to hit and then a one on the wound roll, my Chaplin (who was most likely the angriest space marine in the franchise at that very moment) then killed two custodians and then withdrew to let the lion clean up. However, he was not satisfied with two of the emperor's finest warriors as penance for the dead assault intercessors he then chased down the blade champion, in the process getting hit by an entire land raider worth of shooting and being left on one wound. The Chaplin then caught the blade champion (who in fairness was also at one wound after it's melee with the lion) and beat the breaks of it. He was gunned downed the next turn.
I had a game so bad with dice luck that it has become a joke in my 40k group. I had just gotten my Aeldari army up to 2k points and was playing my friend's orks in a match before a narritive tournament. One of my new units was a Fire Prism that i had named "The Gaze of Vaul" and had started to paint a big flaming eye in the turret. The Gaze of Vaul has never been able to live down this game. He goes first and makes 2 big tactical misplays that we both are expecting to end with a brutal punish (battle wagon was on the wrongnside of the board and a 20 boyz unit had failed a charge after Da Jump leaving them in the open staring down my guns). We get to my turn and I start moving units to set them up to destory the orks. I'm confident, but still keeping things from being fully commited as the Deff Dreads and Gorkanaught have yet to be commited. I start the shooting with the unit we are both excited for, The Gaze of Vaul. Only thing they can see are a unit of Killa Kans making their way to mid board. The Fire Prism, at the time, was pretty nuts. Big charged shot was 2 attacks, on 3s, S18, -4, flat 6. Because of the index detachment and datasheet rule, they had 2 rerolls to hit and wound every time they shot. It fires, missing twice. Rerolls to hitting twice. Wounds twice. He makes a 6+ save so only one Kan is evaporated in the beam of light. Across the rest of the board, I am suffering. Nothing is doing any level of damage, half my shots arent hitting, and almost nothing is wounding. The Battle Wagon is still alive after i commited 3 units to killing it. The Da Jump Boyz are slightly hurt after about half of my army shot them. His turn 2. Guardians are dead, Wave Serpent is dead, Vyper is dead, Farseer is dead, Dire Avengers are dead. The Da Jump Boyz are in my back lines. The Gorkanaught is moving up the board and is very scary. My turn 2. The Gaze of Vaul misses twice even after the rerolls. The falcon and the last Vyper are trying to deal with the mecha orks. The banshees sprint out of the Falcon and slice the Kans apart. The bikes don't do anything and are forced to limp away to buy time. The Warp Spiders, Swooping Hawks, and Shining Spears begin to drop in around the board. The Spiders get some real damage done, the Hawks don't, the Spears are pitiful. His go. At this point we are both near tears. The other people in the game store have looks edging from pity to mirth at the suffering theybare watching. I've started throwing dice into the box I transported my army with for dice jail. Almost everything is dead. The bikes die buying time, the Spiders lose all but the Exarch to a reserve Deff Dread. The Gaze of Vaul is limping after the Gorkanaught blasted it full force. My 3rd turn starts. I've lost about 1.6k points and killed maybe 150-200 points worth at most. I'm looking at some Corsairs, a Falcon, a nearly dead Fire Prism, a Warp Spider Exarch in the middle of nowhere, my Dark Reapers, and my Autarch Wayleaper. Everyone else is dead from the 60 something models i brought. Numbers are looking slim, so I'm just going to try and bring down that Gorkanaught. The Gaze of Vaul begins the firing process, the crystal matrix glowing with the power of the sun. It does nothing. Again. My Autarch buys time, dancing around midboard. The Falcon is trying, doing some more much needed damage to that Gorkanaught. The Corsairs fire into the Da Jump Boyz and prepare to die to them. The Dark Reapers Exarch bombs the Gretchin on his home objective while my Warp Spiders Exarch goes to help, the rest of the Reapers keep peppering the Gorkanaught, slowly bringing it lower and lower. The Gretchen survived the two Exarchs. His 4th turn starts and we both know I'm probably tabled this turn. The Warp Spider Exarch is punched by a runtherd and dies, the Corsairs are pasted, the Dark Reapers are slaughtered. The Autarch escapes getting hurt too much, the Falcon is ignored for now, but through a miracle, The Gaze of Vaul still lives. My 4th turn starts. The Gaze of Vaul is in melee with orks, my Falcon has to stay in place for now, and my Autarch needs to hold the centre for points. The Gaze of Vaul fires its last salvo and manages to finally deal 6 more damage. 4 battle rounds for 12 damage from a weapon that has 2 attacks at flat 6 damage. Value! The Gorkanaught takes another big hit from the Falcon and is looking very low. At this point, he is also running out of board space for his units because to get to me he has to get very clumped up. At the end of my turn, The Gaze of Vaul is finally put out of its misery by the boyz. His final turn starts. He fails to kill the Falcon, but my autarch is killed in melee. But she comes back from the Pheonix Gem, giving me a final chance to: Kill. That. Gorkanaught. After the Falcon fires, it has 1 wound. My Autarch, "Kayleth, The Winged Storm", kills it.... because I made a rules mistake and she had DevWounds when she should not have. After the game, we did some math. My rolls were an 11% chance with the Fire Prism and it was one of the best performing units in my army. One of the people who saw parts of the game described it as "the most painful game of 40k I've seen". I rolled more 1s then I rolled 3+s. That game has been given the title of "the day vaul blinked" and has become a common joke. The best being that in the narrative tournament, The Gaze of Vaul was a monster. Killing landraiders, dreadknights, dreadnouguts, and a lot of marine bodies. I've seen dice betray people during games for a turn or two, I have yet to see something at quite that level since.
I have had many times where I'm playing the golden bananas and to turn the game around I either need an 11 inch charge or box cars.... They always hit... Many of those moments are hilarious because they then evaporate anything they get into melee with. I should probably play a game of 10th again now with the new dreadnought detachment for custodes because those 5 dreadnoughts & three tanks finally have their time to shine. But first I must finish painting my centurions.
last weekend had a game where an Imperial knight player rolled snake eyes for charge, re rolled, got snake eyes again and followed it up by, guess what, yet another snake eyes on another charge post watch edit: damn that turn two reminds me of mine, also against knight and went roughly the same, two cadians with meltas killed a knight with god like dice roll, Shadowsword killed another two knights and the remaining armigers where either destroyed or heavily damaged by my other tanks and lascannons
I once did a game where I was playing Ork Dread Mob against my brother's Chaos Knights. I decided once to choose Lethal Hits instead of rolling for it, which gave all the choppas hazardous... The Wardog they were going after survived, and they proceeded to roll 12 1's on 22 hazardous tests (they had a Warboss and Big Mek attached) and lost half the squad before the Karnivore even got to swing back.
Under the impression that you care the slightest for why 'Pterrorshades' has that name; those are the funny bird things chaos knights get in the box that you sometimes see perched on their backs. Those are Pterrorshades. They're like chaos vultures that swarm people that get too close to the knights.
One game, I'm playing my guard into custodes, and one 20 man with a comand squad took down 2 custodian guadians. I wasn't planning for it to deal a single wound
Bring it down can definitely generate insane return. I got 12 points in one round playing Sisters of Battle hull and suits spam once. Really helps countering my abysmal primary scoring game!
A while back I was playing in a Bloodbowl League and I had a game with some of the worst luck I could possibly imagine. Not my luck, but my opponent's luck. So, there we are, my Wood Elves up against his Dwarfs. Between some decent play and the ridiculous stats of the Wood Elf team, I had managed to score an early Touchdown, gracefully dodging and passing my way up the board through his stout and slow Dwarf team. However, that was the first half. In the second half, the Dwarfs were dominating the ball and more or less had control for the full half. And just as the game is about to end, my opponent and I both see an opening for his team to score and end the game in a tie. All he has to do is "go for it." For those not in the know, In Bloodbowl, if a player wants to move just a little bit further, they can "go for it." It allows them to move an extra space, but they have to roll a die. If they roll a 1, they fall prone, drop the ball, and your turn ends. So my opponent sees the opening, he just has to go for it twice. The first roll is fine, he rolls a 5 or something, and gets the extra space. Then he moves into the Endzone. If he rolls anything other than a 1, he scores and the game ends in a tie... He rolls a 1. And Nuffle laughs...
My crowning achievement in bad luck is a squad of 10 hell blasters, hazardous rolls being ones, and then not shooting on death after failing to wound a squad of terminators. Losing 230 points on my turn was quite possibly the funniest thing that has ever happened to me in 40k.
My most recent game was me using the flyborn detachment going against my friends custodes.The thing that shocked us the most was my luck with my 20 man poxwalker squad (with typhus )shrugging off a 2 man custodian guard squad with a shield captain in combat, even managing to kill the squad by next turn. Then out of left field, survived 2 rounds of combat against the spear dreadnought and even managing to kill it too (typhus did the heavy lifting obviously), idk how but we both were shocked over the fnp shrugs.
1 death company Guy didnt wanted to die, even after a full Barrage of Tanks from the Imperial guard. After He finally reached the shadowsword and Punshed a hole in him i named him Kenny!
Void dragon got shot by a titan, one of the shooty ones i think it was called a despoiler, saved most of them and proceeded to feel no pain 8 out of 10 damage that went through
I was once teaching a player how to play Kill Team, and I rolled 5 attacks with my lightning claws in a melee - and hit all 6's. I don't know the odds of quintuple 6's but we love Charcaradon dice from Baron of Dice.
I once had a ctan take like 50 anti-tank shots that made it through invul save only to feel no pain everything, specifically rolling a 5 and a 6 each time and survive on 1 wound
Once I was playing against my friend's Blood Angels army and they needed to do 3 charges to decimate 3 of my squads... They rolled snake eyes on all three charges and haven't played Blood Angels since.
My first apocalypse i lost all charges phase with my tyrannids for about 4 hours of trying to charge cultists mobs, and the custists running away, Tom and Jerry style.
I was playing a game with my buddy last week and my arcoflagellants succeeded 9 (i counted) invuln rolls in a row and then in the next fight my repentia succeeded 6 invulns in a row and I don't think ever seen my friend get genuinely angry in a match before that lol. He still beat my ass in the end but I thought it was hilarious at the time. The Emperor protects!
I am playing Admech with Knights attached, my opponent is playing genestealers and guard. Turn one, my opponent goes first and shoots his Lemon rush Demolisher, hits my Armiger, wounds my Armiger, 2d6 damage. Boxcars baby. And some skitarii dead from deadly demise, he ended up pushing too far and I did get the win. But what a crazy opening.
Yesterday I saved 8 4 up invulnerable saves in a row on my Baneblade that was getting shot at by volcano cannons and then next turn all of them failed to hit
I played a demo game with my best friend at the local warhammer store (also named Steve, also a smug motherfu-) and it came down to his librarian in terminator (which was almost dead) against my psychophage duking it out in mele. I got 7 attacks (d6+1) and wounded on at least 6 iirc with -1 -ap. He gets nothing but 5’s and 6’s on the invul-save. I didn’t scratch the paint on his armor. Fun game 10/10
Finished assembling a Fellblade and immediately used it in a game... it flubbed *all* of its shots against a Rogal Dorn, even while it hit on 2s, rerolled 1s, and 6s sustained and lethal on all of its guns via Hellbrute, and only dealt 3 wounds with the laser destroyers, nothing else wounded It then got focused down, extra AP from an Exterminator, 2cp strat for another AP, aaaaaaaand blew up killing the rest of my army In the rematch I asked for if I could run it as a Falchion, and I got permission Proceeded to delete two Dorns in a single round of shooting with it alone New model curse is real guys
The most HEARTBREAKING fail I had was when I played an onslaught game againts my friend's ultramarines, we have been playing for around 7-8 hours and it was the final turn of the game. I already killed guilliman once, but he (obviously) revived him and to WIN THE GAME, i had to make...one....single....4....inch charge. I even kept a reroll for it, just to make sure. I roll a 2 and a 1, spend the cp to reroll it and it became a 1 and a 1. The most heartwrenching lose I ever had
I dumped something like 36 shots into a Gravis Captain from a Land Raider Crusader. Statistically speaking, he should've failed at least 1 save which would've been enough to kill it. But he made EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
Once I had 3 infernus marines take on a medium small army of adeptus mechanicus with a tech priest and an apc and they started 50 inches away and only getting my Seargent hit once (this is tenth edition btw)
18 1's and 2's on Tesla Immortals, 0 6's. It was hilarious. In counterpoint, my friend kept track of my 4+ overlord invuln saves once and I made 47 in a row.
I was playing my friend's Necrons using my Aeldari. Ended up getting their shard of Ctan down to 3 wounds in a gamestate where it surviving would win them the game, but I would win if it died. Charged a squad of guardian defenders and somehow got the 3 damage off using fate dice bs, ended up securing the wij
I had new model syndrome but in a unique way. I had a unit of 10 jump pack intercessors with a jump pack captain, I rolled a 1 on 6 DIFFERENT CHARGE ATTEMPTS!!!!! Those guys got a VERY stern talking too
Ooh I got to tell my bad dice story! 9th Ed A squad of 5 of Intercessors armed with Stalker Bolt Rifles, the ones with only 1 attack per model. Turn one they shoot. 0 hits. Turn two they shoot. 0 hits. Turn three, one of them had died, so four of them shoot. Zero. Hits. I threw 14 dice for that unit in total, and all of them were either a 1 or a 2. The odds of that happening were something like 1 in 15 million. I lost that game.
+1 to wounds is insane, especially if you have a lot of people who benefit. Like say a Chaplain's Litany of Hate with a 10 man squad of assault intercessor rocking chainswords.
In my round 1 at an RTT, on turn 3, i put around 30 4+ saves on my opponents various vehicles He made 4 of them The game was basically over from then. Not only did i have a big unit advantage, but he now longer had any units to contest his natrual expansion objective, so i scored Hold One Hold More on the next 2 turns uncontested.
Here's one for you. Round 4 of a 156 player teams tournament recently. Playing tau, had to sink an armiger with two hammerheads to win the game First one 1 to hit, reroll for free, hits 1 to wound, reroll for a cp, 1 to wound Second tank, still has a Seeker so use that too Railgun first 6 to hit, 3 hits from kauyon 2,2,1 to wound, reroll the 1 into a 1. 5+ invo, makes one fails one. Roll damage, 2, so 8 all up Seeker missile Roll to hit, 3 we good Roll to wound, 1, can't reroll Don't get marked for death -5pts That armiger goes back to his home objective to stop my kroot holding it -5pts And burning it -10pts Final score is 72 me, 85 him.
8th edition, Orkz vs Death guard (me). Orkz shot 50 guns into me, 2 hits, 1 wound. I rolled a 1 on the save, okay still have the disgusting resilience roll, also a 1. From that point on my disgusting resilience only rolled 1s or 2s. I threw the dice out after that game and bought new ones :D

Pro tip: remind your opponent that they can command reroll when they get a 1 so they waste cp on rerolling a 1 into a 1
This is a great strategy!
This is actually really smart! And it will probably work too!
I got a tournament tomorrow, can't wait to use this 😃
I love reminding my opponent they can CP reroll successes, and have even asked them to do so when they make their saves. They never seem to do so though...
Devious Slaaneshi tip
As a Drukhari player, words cannot describe the sheer sadistic thrill I derive from rolling my Archon's 2+ invun.
I don't even look at the dice, just stare my opponent in the eye and roll those delicious cubes one by one as the most heinous shit-eating grin snakes across my face and the light of love and hope fades from their eyes. Then I immediately roll a 1 and reconsider ritual suicide. 10/10, most thematic rule in 10th edition.
Beautiful just perfect
Bro I sware to my life this thing is ridiculous 😂😂😂
Perfect Drukhari Archon energy. Totally in-character.
And then you realize the attacking model was a vindicare assassin
To this day I have never made that 2+ invul😂
my favorite total failure was in a game of Kill Team I played where after the first turn, I never rolled a single success for the entire rest of the game.
I failed 11 saves with Canis Rex yesterday and lost him in the first turn, curse of new models strikes again
Luck - the formula for victory (and loss) for every game I'm ever played with Orks. Wouldn't have it any other way.
Paint more models blue maybe?
Nononono, no, my friend. You won. You won thanks to your strategic genius. We use math when we loose.
“Centurions superior, Knights inferior.”
- Paul, who’s 100% said something like this at least 5 times
I once had Magnus and full hit and wound rerolls kill 1 (ONE!!) Assault Terminator, only for the other nine turn round and kill him
That's a big oof :(
Thats what happens when you fuck with the deathwing ;-)
So i have a story from a few months back.
I was playing firestorm SM and my friend was playing Iron Warriors my 10 man unit of Infernus marines (pre AP-1 update) shot into a 10 man chosen unit.
31 shots go into the chosen
29 wounds are rolled
1 damage goes through to the chosen.
My salt levels were and are high enough to make every freshwater body of water on the planet become uninhabitable.
Another friend recently did the math and there was less than 0.2% chance of that happening.
I'm not mad, just ABSOLUTELY LIVID.
Clearly that's why they buffed the infernus marines, they knew what happened and had to help you out with your terrible luck!
I don’t believe dice, so I just assume they meant “6”….my family no longer plays Warhammer with me.
You should get some custom dice that are all 6s and then youd always be right!
The literal first game I ever played, was getting a lesson with my buddy from the local GW employee, and I had to roll like 10-15 dice for my Tyranid mass to fire. Every. Single. Dice. Rolled one, except for one 6 crit. Half the store came over to see it and joke about how I should stop before I even start buying models ☠️
You took my two great hobbies, 40K and wrestling, and managed to meld them together with that Steiner math clip haha. It absolutely made my day! Thank you so much!
It's because I'm a generic freak and I'm not normal. The numbers don't lie and they spell disaster for you at sacerfice
2:25 I can hear the voidraven points hike from here
What a funny story! I appreciate your first game of AoS, atill hoping that you'll make more AoS videos.
But, since you asked and mentioned AoS 3, here are some of my funny dice stories from it:
The first was when I was playing a friend we were both fairly new, but I helped get him into the hobby. He was playing Slaves to Darkness and I was playing Stormcast. He'd managed to break through my lines, and his Varanguard(hyper elite Cavalry) successfully charged into my Vanguard Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows. Once they finished moving into my unit, I used Unleash Hell(basically a psuedo-Overwatch). Now, at the time, Vanguard Raptors with Longstrike Crossbows hit on 3's, wound on 2's, have Rend(AP) 2, and if they roll a 6 to hit, it just turns into mortals. I rolled enough 6's to hit that it took out about half of his total pool of 15 wounds on mortals alone, then the remaining shots just cleaned up the rest. I thought I was in trouble, but all I did was kill his charging melee unit with my guns before he could swing his sword. I felt bad about it because it was extremely disheartening for him, but BOY was it a memorable story.
The second was at a GT I went to back in the summer of 2023. I was playing Gloomspite Gitz, my opponent was playing Soulblight Gravelords. I had been playing farily cagey most of the game, trying my best to avoid an unfavorable engagement with his Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon, but my castle of Grots was no match for him rolling a 12 to cast Spirit Gale, which at the time would deal 1 Mortal to every enemy unit, and if an unmodified 9+ was rolled, then it was 2 mortals. So I lost a TON of models to Battleshock. That was the first of the game-changing die rolls. The second came in when I finally decided to engage his VLoZD. I charged into it with my Squig Cavalry, I thought I'd clean it up without issue. After all, I'd dealt some damage to it with magic earlier that turn, so their impact mortals, combined with their powerful weapons on the charge would mean that I shouldn't have any issue taking it out with average or even below average luck. However, I'd completely forgotten that he had an effect enabled that let him fight first, so when I charged, into him and didn't kill it with the impact damage, I felt my heart sink as he reminded me and proceeded to leave only 3 Squigs remaining, by the end of the Combat Phase, his VLoZD was left on 1 wound, and my Squigs were dead and fleed from Battleshock. I only needed 1 more roll, or 1 failed Ward(Feen No Pain) save from them to change the ENTIRE game in my favor.😭(Even if I did make a tactical blunder)
This final story is from another casual game with a different friend from the first story. I was playing Maggotkin of Nurgle, they were playing Sylvaneth. To score a Battle Tactic(secondary objective), they teleported a group of 5 Tree Revenants onto one of my home objectives and positioned a Treelord nearby to make sure that both could take the objective from me. Now I was playing The Glottkin(big Nurgle centerpiece, think of them like an AoS Mortarion), they had a special Command Ability(Stratagem) that would let themselves and another nearby Maggotkin unit roll to charge on the opponent's turn. I don't remember the exact number I needed, but to charge with The Glottkin I rolled a 12, which let me get into the combat ranges of both his Revenants and Treelord. The Glottkin also had an ability that let it deal 5 mortals to a unit in combat with it on a 2+, and after rolling the 2+ into the Tree Revenants, all 5 of the 1 wound models were dead. Then, once the Combat Phase was over, his Treelord was also dead, and the Glottkin had taken only minimal damage that the Nurgle army rule(at the time) would just heal off. He surrendered one turn later after I made a 9" charge to get my fly cavalry into his deployment zone and take another home objective after gaining control of the center.
AOS certainly has potential for funny dice moments. Awhile back (can't remember whether it was 2nd or 3rd edition) I was playing a 2v3 big battle with some friends, something like 1500 + 1500 vs 1k + 1k + 1k, khorne and ironjawz vs 2 ogor forces and some seraphon. We got into combat in the middle of the table, and towards the end of the battle the khorne and orruks were kind of falling apart vs the ogors. However, I'd gotten enough blood tithe points to summon in a bloodthirster, so I summoned the one with the giant axe and rolled *barely* enough to get him into combat (think it was like a 10 or 11). This particular bloodthirster used to have a rule where if he rolled a 6 to wound, *every* enemy within 8" of him would take 8 mortal wounds, and somehow I rolled 4 6's to wound. Idk what was funnier, the fact that I managed to summon a literal asteroid that just annihilated the bulk of 3 players' armies all at once, or the fact that one of my opponents had a nearby stonehorn that spiked its 5+ feel no pain and managed to survive the incoming 32 damage
Not Warhammer but dice luck strikes all tabletop games with dice. My friend was playing his first match of Battletech in a 2v2 set up where one player on each team could only bring mechs and the other teammate could only bring conventional forces. He was the conventional forces player on his team in a Mercs vs Comguard battle. The Comguard mech player spent an obscene amount of his allotted battle value on the biggest mech he could bring, a 100 ton Atlas assault mech with maxed out pilot. Not far into the game my friend's Scorpion light tank, a cheap throw away pick normally only good in numbers, fired on the Atlas, rolled a hit, through-armor crit and rolled an ammo-rack hit on the Atlas's AC-20 ammo. The biggest and most expensive piece on the board got it's cannon ammo blown up taking the rest of the mech with it. That tank mini now has a four-leaf clover painted on the turret and is called the Lucky Shot.
I'm doing my part. Love the content Paul, you're starting to get pretty good at stuff.
0:40 Bro is not The Spiffing Brit
I've been giving you a hard time about it so I think I should also be vocal about saying thank you for slowing down and taking the time to annunciate everything. Sounds great.
You bet your bippy I went back to 8:20 😎👍
I really love this style of video were you break down your games and explain your thoughts
please get the video to 10k so Paul paint the gobbo waifu as his destiny.
Start of round 1 : i destroy a transport. Nice.
End of round 2 : im tabled
Dice are the funniest story tellers.
These videos are always so good, the battle reports are sorely missed from the old GW days (they used to write and stage them in much more exciting ways) and this step-by-step documentation of particular incidents during the conflict is very well done and makes sense to us idiot tabletoppers. You seem to have a much keener sense of the rules than you’ve given yourself credit for, and it makes for incredibly entertaining content. Cheers!
Wow, that surely was some amazing luck! Also hope those centurions never go the way of the dodo due to being firstborn…
Centurions will last forever! GW WILL listen to me one day
2:03 Me watching this as I build my stormraven
The name of the rabbit is Igor 7:12
for reference yes bring it down has no cap which makes it absolutely worth trying to fish for and yes you can in theory score all your secondary points in a single round will it happen no but is it possible yes.
Finaly, I was waing HARD for this video :) congrats Paul
Once my oponant land raider exploded with 2/3 of his army in explosion range (20+ Kill)
Happened last Weekend actually.
We were playing a 2k game of Tyranids vs Dark Angels. The key parts of our armies here is the Tyrannofex and the Land Raider.
I got turn one, both were aiming their barrels at each other. I didn't spend my CP for any buffs, I shot at his Land Raider with with the funny Rupture Cannon.
He uses Deploy Smokes and gave himself another +1 while in cover (I think that works? I am still pretty new to 10e). So he had a 4+ save against my two rupture cannon shots.
Both Hit.
He fails both saves.
Both Wound.
I roll bare minimum to kill his Land Raider turn 1.
After that he rolls to explode, the Land Raider is in the middle of his army with a squad of Death Wing Knights in it.
Yea it explodes, and takes out a Terminator, Aggressor, and a Intercessor.
It didn't help him that he also set the Land Raider onto an objective so I got the Overwhelming force point on it turn 1.
You are 100% +1 to wound is way strong and new oath is really strong because of it. Its why LVO was like 80% marines at the end
I once had Angron charge into that one Flamer land raider which overwatched. Angron got brought down to 4 wounds through the flamers alone, then barely scratched the Land Raider
couple things of note, titanic knights can just walk through ruins int eh move phase with risk of battleshock and bring it down is no cap like you said so very scary for us chaos knight players. enjoyable content as always mate, love it.
I had a similar case of luck in misfortune. I played votanns against tyranids. I had a combo of Hekaton land fortress + 5 hearthguard (Dwarf terminators). I managed to lower down one of enemy big monsters to 1 hp by other means in my army, so I decided to bring it down with termies.
Termies had a weapon with stats: 3A 5S 0Ap 1D Devastating Wounds.
After hit rolls I managed to get 16 hits (due to some sustained hits). Now I was in front of a wound roll of 16 dices with full re-roll and +1 to wound due to grudge tokens. I needed just one "6".
First roll: Not a single 6. Statistically it should be at least around two and yet not a single one appeared. I brushed it off with " Unlucky, whatever... That's why I have full re-roll". Re-rolled and... Not a single "6". At this point both me and my opponent were like "Wtf. How is that possible, what are the chances?".
I was already dealt with the fact that the monster lives, but there was one dice of "5" that managed to slip through. My oponent had to make a 2+ safe roll against a one hit of 0ap dmg 1 shot and... he failed! I managed to kill his monster, which put him back a lot in the game and made me win the match!
Back then both me and my friend understood that statistics mean nothing in this game xD.
We later on calculated what are the odds of not getting a single "6" in 32 rolls and it was 0,3%. That was funny adventure that became a meme we will never forget!
My favorite roll of all time is with my Imperial Knight: Eula. I was playing a 3v1 game during 9th edition, me and 2 other buddies were all 2k points of space marines versus 6k points of daemons and chaos knights.
They got the pleasure of playing DOOM as they dealt with the Daemons and I had to play Mobile Suit Gundam as my men were fighting War Dogs and Knights. Though I had some anti-tank, I couldnt deal with them without some ballsy tactics. In a hail mary gambit, my severely wounded knight, Eula, had to make a 12 inch charge to intercept the Knight coming for my Repulsor. I failed the first roll, but then with a command point reroll, she made the boxcars roll! She charged in, cleaved the knight in half, then my daemon buddy rolled a 6 for deadly demise. They blew up taking me with them, but I had Eula give a middle finger on the way out by auto-detonating myself, which caused a catastophic chain reaction as we somehow rolled 6s for the damage and more deadly demises.
By the time the dust settled only like 4 war dogs were left on that side as my space marines watched in horror yet pride as Eula sacrificed herself to turn the right side of the table into a nuclear mushroom cloud.
My knight list highlights a Porphyrion as the centerpiece for 710pts. It can do a potential 144 wounds with it's primary weapons, I've one shot doomsday arks, dreadnoughts, gladiator tanks, and even did 36 damage to a knight valiant once. It's also whiffed 14 attacks against a single squad of swooping hawks killing only two of them.
I love your battle reports so much
I actually really like the added +1 to wound on oath target for codex space marines because everyone hasn't forgotten previously when taking codex space marines was absolutely throwing. Now with the upgraded oath, your turn's entire strategy and gameplan revolves around the one (or two with gorillaboy) oath targets. I find it very thematic, how your entire space marine army is all strategizing and coordinating against the target of their hatred that they swear to take down.
Congrats Paul! 🎉
Funny that this came out when it did. Literally last night, my World Eaters player friend rolled 5 ones in a row for his advances.
Gratz on the win 🤘🏼
Wow the cynthia battle music when it comes to killing the knight, a true battle
In my first OOM buff game, I had Titus leading 10 assault intercessors 1 round kill a monolith when it was a obj
lol, not broken at all!
*weeps in Necron*
my Chaplin and assault intercessors where charged by 5 custodians and a blade champion, 7 intercessors where turned to a fine red mist but the blade champion rolled 5 one's to hit and then a one on the wound roll, my Chaplin (who was most likely the angriest space marine in the franchise at that very moment) then killed two custodians and then withdrew to let the lion clean up. However, he was not satisfied with two of the emperor's finest warriors as penance for the dead assault intercessors he then chased down the blade champion, in the process getting hit by an entire land raider worth of shooting and being left on one wound. The Chaplin then caught the blade champion (who in fairness was also at one wound after it's melee with the lion) and beat the breaks of it.
He was gunned downed the next turn.
I had a game so bad with dice luck that it has become a joke in my 40k group. I had just gotten my Aeldari army up to 2k points and was playing my friend's orks in a match before a narritive tournament. One of my new units was a Fire Prism that i had named "The Gaze of Vaul" and had started to paint a big flaming eye in the turret. The Gaze of Vaul has never been able to live down this game.
He goes first and makes 2 big tactical misplays that we both are expecting to end with a brutal punish (battle wagon was on the wrongnside of the board and a 20 boyz unit had failed a charge after Da Jump leaving them in the open staring down my guns). We get to my turn and I start moving units to set them up to destory the orks. I'm confident, but still keeping things from being fully commited as the Deff Dreads and Gorkanaught have yet to be commited. I start the shooting with the unit we are both excited for, The Gaze of Vaul. Only thing they can see are a unit of Killa Kans making their way to mid board. The Fire Prism, at the time, was pretty nuts. Big charged shot was 2 attacks, on 3s, S18, -4, flat 6. Because of the index detachment and datasheet rule, they had 2 rerolls to hit and wound every time they shot.
It fires, missing twice. Rerolls to hitting twice. Wounds twice. He makes a 6+ save so only one Kan is evaporated in the beam of light. Across the rest of the board, I am suffering. Nothing is doing any level of damage, half my shots arent hitting, and almost nothing is wounding. The Battle Wagon is still alive after i commited 3 units to killing it. The Da Jump Boyz are slightly hurt after about half of my army shot them.
His turn 2. Guardians are dead, Wave Serpent is dead, Vyper is dead, Farseer is dead, Dire Avengers are dead. The Da Jump Boyz are in my back lines. The Gorkanaught is moving up the board and is very scary.
My turn 2. The Gaze of Vaul misses twice even after the rerolls. The falcon and the last Vyper are trying to deal with the mecha orks. The banshees sprint out of the Falcon and slice the Kans apart. The bikes don't do anything and are forced to limp away to buy time. The Warp Spiders, Swooping Hawks, and Shining Spears begin to drop in around the board. The Spiders get some real damage done, the Hawks don't, the Spears are pitiful.
His go. At this point we are both near tears. The other people in the game store have looks edging from pity to mirth at the suffering theybare watching. I've started throwing dice into the box I transported my army with for dice jail. Almost everything is dead. The bikes die buying time, the Spiders lose all but the Exarch to a reserve Deff Dread. The Gaze of Vaul is limping after the Gorkanaught blasted it full force.
My 3rd turn starts. I've lost about 1.6k points and killed maybe 150-200 points worth at most. I'm looking at some Corsairs, a Falcon, a nearly dead Fire Prism, a Warp Spider Exarch in the middle of nowhere, my Dark Reapers, and my Autarch Wayleaper. Everyone else is dead from the 60 something models i brought. Numbers are looking slim, so I'm just going to try and bring down that Gorkanaught. The Gaze of Vaul begins the firing process, the crystal matrix glowing with the power of the sun. It does nothing. Again. My Autarch buys time, dancing around midboard. The Falcon is trying, doing some more much needed damage to that Gorkanaught. The Corsairs fire into the Da Jump Boyz and prepare to die to them. The Dark Reapers Exarch bombs the Gretchin on his home objective while my Warp Spiders Exarch goes to help, the rest of the Reapers keep peppering the Gorkanaught, slowly bringing it lower and lower. The Gretchen survived the two Exarchs.
His 4th turn starts and we both know I'm probably tabled this turn. The Warp Spider Exarch is punched by a runtherd and dies, the Corsairs are pasted, the Dark Reapers are slaughtered. The Autarch escapes getting hurt too much, the Falcon is ignored for now, but through a miracle, The Gaze of Vaul still lives.
My 4th turn starts. The Gaze of Vaul is in melee with orks, my Falcon has to stay in place for now, and my Autarch needs to hold the centre for points. The Gaze of Vaul fires its last salvo and manages to finally deal 6 more damage. 4 battle rounds for 12 damage from a weapon that has 2 attacks at flat 6 damage. Value! The Gorkanaught takes another big hit from the Falcon and is looking very low. At this point, he is also running out of board space for his units because to get to me he has to get very clumped up. At the end of my turn, The Gaze of Vaul is finally put out of its misery by the boyz.
His final turn starts. He fails to kill the Falcon, but my autarch is killed in melee. But she comes back from the Pheonix Gem, giving me a final chance to:
Kill.
That.
Gorkanaught.
After the Falcon fires, it has 1 wound. My Autarch, "Kayleth, The Winged Storm", kills it.... because I made a rules mistake and she had DevWounds when she should not have. After the game, we did some math. My rolls were an 11% chance with the Fire Prism and it was one of the best performing units in my army. One of the people who saw parts of the game described it as "the most painful game of 40k I've seen". I rolled more 1s then I rolled 3+s.
That game has been given the title of "the day vaul blinked" and has become a common joke. The best being that in the narrative tournament, The Gaze of Vaul was a monster. Killing landraiders, dreadknights, dreadnouguts, and a lot of marine bodies. I've seen dice betray people during games for a turn or two, I have yet to see something at quite that level since.
I have had many times where I'm playing the golden bananas and to turn the game around I either need an 11 inch charge or box cars.... They always hit... Many of those moments are hilarious because they then evaporate anything they get into melee with. I should probably play a game of 10th again now with the new dreadnought detachment for custodes because those 5 dreadnoughts & three tanks finally have their time to shine. But first I must finish painting my centurions.
If it helps you paint them centurions - my assault centurions will always roll 10+ on charges!
Best segue into the ad ever
I did not know about the tabletop tactics events that you! Signing up for one
Centurions and Vanguard detachment are the bane to my existence
Cool models tho
last weekend had a game where an Imperial knight player rolled snake eyes for charge, re rolled, got snake eyes again and followed it up by, guess what, yet another snake eyes on another charge
post watch edit: damn that turn two reminds me of mine, also against knight and went roughly the same, two cadians with meltas killed a knight with god like dice roll, Shadowsword killed another two knights and the remaining armigers where either destroyed or heavily damaged by my other tanks and lascannons
They bought weighted dice but the weights were wrong!
I once did a game where I was playing Ork Dread Mob against my brother's Chaos Knights. I decided once to choose Lethal Hits instead of rolling for it, which gave all the choppas hazardous...
The Wardog they were going after survived, and they proceeded to roll 12 1's on 22 hazardous tests (they had a Warboss and Big Mek attached) and lost half the squad before the Karnivore even got to swing back.
Under the impression that you care the slightest for why 'Pterrorshades' has that name; those are the funny bird things chaos knights get in the box that you sometimes see perched on their backs. Those are Pterrorshades. They're like chaos vultures that swarm people that get too close to the knights.
One game, I'm playing my guard into custodes, and one 20 man with a comand squad took down 2 custodian guadians. I wasn't planning for it to deal a single wound
Great video, you're really funny.
Bring it down can definitely generate insane return. I got 12 points in one round playing Sisters of Battle hull and suits spam once. Really helps countering my abysmal primary scoring game!
A while back I was playing in a Bloodbowl League and I had a game with some of the worst luck I could possibly imagine. Not my luck, but my opponent's luck. So, there we are, my Wood Elves up against his Dwarfs. Between some decent play and the ridiculous stats of the Wood Elf team, I had managed to score an early Touchdown, gracefully dodging and passing my way up the board through his stout and slow Dwarf team. However, that was the first half. In the second half, the Dwarfs were dominating the ball and more or less had control for the full half. And just as the game is about to end, my opponent and I both see an opening for his team to score and end the game in a tie. All he has to do is "go for it." For those not in the know, In Bloodbowl, if a player wants to move just a little bit further, they can "go for it." It allows them to move an extra space, but they have to roll a die. If they roll a 1, they fall prone, drop the ball, and your turn ends. So my opponent sees the opening, he just has to go for it twice. The first roll is fine, he rolls a 5 or something, and gets the extra space. Then he moves into the Endzone. If he rolls anything other than a 1, he scores and the game ends in a tie...
He rolls a 1.
And Nuffle laughs...
My bro win big this time. So proud of you even though i dont know wtf i do except give your vdo view and like either. but anyway congrate
My story is that my friend's intercessors squad killed a psycophage at full wounds in a single fight phase
My crowning achievement in bad luck is a squad of 10 hell blasters, hazardous rolls being ones, and then not shooting on death after failing to wound a squad of terminators. Losing 230 points on my turn was quite possibly the funniest thing that has ever happened to me in 40k.
My most recent game was me using the flyborn detachment going against my friends custodes.The thing that shocked us the most was my luck with my 20 man poxwalker squad (with typhus )shrugging off a 2 man custodian guard squad with a shield captain in combat, even managing to kill the squad by next turn. Then out of left field, survived 2 rounds of combat against the spear dreadnought and even managing to kill it too (typhus did the heavy lifting obviously), idk how but we both were shocked over the fnp shrugs.
1 death company Guy didnt wanted to die, even after a full Barrage of Tanks from the Imperial guard. After He finally reached the shadowsword and Punshed a hole in him i named him Kenny!
Void dragon got shot by a titan, one of the shooty ones i think it was called a despoiler, saved most of them and proceeded to feel no pain 8 out of 10 damage that went through
I was once teaching a player how to play Kill Team, and I rolled 5 attacks with my lightning claws in a melee - and hit all 6's. I don't know the odds of quintuple 6's but we love Charcaradon dice from Baron of Dice.
I once had a ctan take like 50 anti-tank shots that made it through invul save only to feel no pain everything, specifically rolling a 5 and a 6 each time and survive on 1 wound
I've killed a knight with lasguns last tournament game I played due to sheer dice nonsense, lasgun best weapon confirmed
Pterrorshades is spelled like that because they are birds that follow Chaos Knights to feast on the carrion of their kills
Once I was playing against my friend's Blood Angels army and they needed to do 3 charges to decimate 3 of my squads... They rolled snake eyes on all three charges and haven't played Blood Angels since.
My first apocalypse i lost all charges phase with my tyrannids for about 4 hours of trying to charge cultists mobs, and the custists running away, Tom and Jerry style.
I was playing a game with my buddy last week and my arcoflagellants succeeded 9 (i counted) invuln rolls in a row and then in the next fight my repentia succeeded 6 invulns in a row and I don't think ever seen my friend get genuinely angry in a match before that lol. He still beat my ass in the end but I thought it was hilarious at the time. The Emperor protects!
Had a game my buddy lost after setting up a charge with Drukhari into my hearthguard. He needed a 3, rolled snake-eyes
because of your videos, Ive bought some centurions and converted them into killa kans for Da Revolution!!!!
Damm I unironically use those sylvaneth dice he had at the start of the video
I am playing Admech with Knights attached, my opponent is playing genestealers and guard. Turn one, my opponent goes first and shoots his Lemon rush Demolisher, hits my Armiger, wounds my Armiger, 2d6 damage. Boxcars baby. And some skitarii dead from deadly demise, he ended up pushing too far and I did get the win. But what a crazy opening.
Yesterday I saved 8 4 up invulnerable saves in a row on my Baneblade that was getting shot at by volcano cannons and then next turn all of them failed to hit
On his first game my friend the first shoot was a necron royal warden that hits on 2 and he gets 4 ones
Chaos Knights mention! Yippee!
I played a demo game with my best friend at the local warhammer store (also named Steve, also a smug motherfu-) and it came down to his librarian in terminator (which was almost dead) against my psychophage duking it out in mele. I got 7 attacks (d6+1) and wounded on at least 6 iirc with -1 -ap. He gets nothing but 5’s and 6’s on the invul-save. I didn’t scratch the paint on his armor. Fun game 10/10
Finished assembling a Fellblade and immediately used it in a game... it flubbed *all* of its shots against a Rogal Dorn, even while it hit on 2s, rerolled 1s, and 6s sustained and lethal on all of its guns via Hellbrute, and only dealt 3 wounds with the laser destroyers, nothing else wounded
It then got focused down, extra AP from an Exterminator, 2cp strat for another AP, aaaaaaaand blew up killing the rest of my army
In the rematch I asked for if I could run it as a Falchion, and I got permission
Proceeded to delete two Dorns in a single round of shooting with it alone
New model curse is real guys
The most HEARTBREAKING fail I had was when I played an onslaught game againts my friend's ultramarines, we have been playing for around 7-8 hours and it was the final turn of the game. I already killed guilliman once, but he (obviously) revived him and to WIN THE GAME, i had to make...one....single....4....inch charge. I even kept a reroll for it, just to make sure. I roll a 2 and a 1, spend the cp to reroll it and it became a 1 and a 1. The most heartwrenching lose I ever had
I dumped something like 36 shots into a Gravis Captain from a Land Raider Crusader. Statistically speaking, he should've failed at least 1 save which would've been enough to kill it. But he made EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
Once I had 3 infernus marines take on a medium small army of adeptus mechanicus with a tech priest and an apc and they started 50 inches away and only getting my Seargent hit once (this is tenth edition btw)
This is why I play Orks, with all them dice I gotta throw, SOMETHING is bound to hit and wound
Most diabolical roll I’ve seen is all 1s and 2s from a 40 man necron warrior squad
18 1's and 2's on Tesla Immortals, 0 6's. It was hilarious. In counterpoint, my friend kept track of my 4+ overlord invuln saves once and I made 47 in a row.
I was playing my friend's Necrons using my Aeldari. Ended up getting their shard of Ctan down to 3 wounds in a gamestate where it surviving would win them the game, but I would win if it died. Charged a squad of guardian defenders and somehow got the 3 damage off using fate dice bs, ended up securing the wij
I had new model syndrome but in a unique way. I had a unit of 10 jump pack intercessors with a jump pack captain, I rolled a 1 on 6 DIFFERENT CHARGE ATTEMPTS!!!!! Those guys got a VERY stern talking too
Ooh I got to tell my bad dice story!
9th Ed
A squad of 5 of Intercessors armed with Stalker Bolt Rifles, the ones with only 1 attack per model.
Turn one they shoot. 0 hits.
Turn two they shoot. 0 hits.
Turn three, one of them had died, so four of them shoot. Zero. Hits.
I threw 14 dice for that unit in total, and all of them were either a 1 or a 2. The odds of that happening were something like 1 in 15 million.
I lost that game.
I once rolled 6/7 dice to be ones while hitting on twos, that hurt.
Yesterday, I shot a custodies heavy grav tank, and he saved both heavy laser destroyer hits, and I rolled so badly
I lost that game turn 4
+1 to wounds is insane, especially if you have a lot of people who benefit. Like say a Chaplain's Litany of Hate with a 10 man squad of assault intercessor rocking chainswords.
In my round 1 at an RTT, on turn 3, i put around 30 4+ saves on my opponents various vehicles
He made 4 of them
The game was basically over from then. Not only did i have a big unit advantage, but he now longer had any units to contest his natrual expansion objective, so i scored Hold One Hold More on the next 2 turns uncontested.
Here's one for you. Round 4 of a 156 player teams tournament recently. Playing tau, had to sink an armiger with two hammerheads to win the game
First one
1 to hit, reroll for free, hits
1 to wound, reroll for a cp, 1 to wound
Second tank, still has a Seeker so use that too
Railgun first
6 to hit, 3 hits from kauyon
2,2,1 to wound, reroll the 1 into a 1.
5+ invo, makes one fails one.
Roll damage, 2, so 8 all up
Seeker missile
Roll to hit, 3 we good
Roll to wound, 1, can't reroll
Don't get marked for death -5pts
That armiger goes back to his home objective to stop my kroot holding it -5pts
And burning it -10pts
Final score is 72 me, 85 him.
the drawings were really good
7:13 The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, clearly.
15:01 so you basically had index version OOM with the addition of +1 to wound. Hot damn…
One time I was attacking with 10 ork boys, needed a 3 up, only got 2 three ups, 30 dice, only 2 were 3 or higher
Dw abt the segways i love when are very silly and goofy like this. It always gives a good chuckle
Having all my guys die in first 2 rounds but have a chaos lord in terminator armor thug it out for the last 3 rounds solo.
8th edition, Orkz vs Death guard (me). Orkz shot 50 guns into me, 2 hits, 1 wound. I rolled a 1 on the save, okay still have the disgusting resilience roll, also a 1. From that point on my disgusting resilience only rolled 1s or 2s. I threw the dice out after that game and bought new ones :D
