Pure gamming joy

[Product]

I was wondering what you guys (n\' gals) would define as pure gamming joy!

Heres some of mine:

1). To send a squad of furius charge assault marines with a veteran sergeant with a power weapon and a chaplain, into my opponents Expensive Grey knights (preferably terminators)

2). To shot Terminators with plasma guns.

3). To blow up a Land raider with a krack missile. (Seriusly, ive never, ever, experienced a land raider surviving a Krack missile!)

A unit of daemons rolling only rolling 6\" to see my Stealth suits, which are 8\" away from them lol

Heh....

4). To send a captain and 2 scouts in H-T-H with a whole Tau army, and butcher the lot!

5) Being told \"Dark Eldar are weak\" befor eproceeding to win a flawless, brutal victory.

6) Playing an army that has no initial models on the table (this is quite possible, again with Dark Eldar)

i gotta say when you unleash your dark eldar on your opponent....and he kinda says well my predators and my land raider will take care of them...only to see them all destroyed in two turns....DAMN i love dark lances!

Watching my opponent ignore those silly Guardians only for him to watch as his Terminators get shredded from the 40 shots Guided his way.

 

[Hoblit]

damn evil dave got to what I was thinking first.

It\'s also fun sacrificing a unit of 5 guardians to get the bloodletters he\'s just summoned in range of your unit of 20 guided guardians with a star cannon.

This hasn\'t happened to me in this particular game, but I just love a 3-way game where the other 2 players have a private vendetta. You sit back doing a minor skirmish here and there and while they attempt to slaughter each other, then you swoop in (preferably before they actually start punching each other) and wipe them both off the table.

That often happens when its tree-way! (atually last week..)

Nothing recent, as I\'ve only just got interested in gaming again after a long break, but some fun stuff from the past:

Space Hulk v1 - a single Terminator on overwatch pointing down a corridor towards a junction. Hordes of blips all around the junction. Blips start converting and \'stealers head up the corridor to play \'munch the marine\'. First \'stealer goes down to overwatch fire. Second \'stealer goes down to overwatch fire. Third \'stealer goes down to overwatch fire. Fourth \'stealer goes down to overwatch fire. The storm bolter still hasn\'t jammed on a double - at this point we start thinking this is a rather lucky marine. Another four stealers later and we start thinking he\'s incredibly lucky.

When the stealer player eventually runs out of blips, and the same single terminator has shot down 13 stealers in a single turn without jamming, we all stand there in stunned silence for some time, knowing that none of us are ever going to see the like again!

The scary bit? The \'stealer player still won...

The look on the dwarf artillery army player\'s face when every single one of his cannon and organ guns misfire in the first turn.

Playing a Squat army (WH40K 2nd ed) with quite a few bikes, I used to have a Guildmaster or something like that on a bike by himself. His sole task? Riding as fast as possible towards the enemy table edge, planting an imperial eagle on a pole (I made a bunch of them), and heading back. He wouldn\'t even bother to shoot at anything unless it was directly in the way. After awhile, people got so annoyed at this guy that they\'d sic Devastator squads on him. And memorably, the Chaos Marine player who so disliked the imperial eagle on his table edge that he pulled a unit of marines out of the frontline to remove it!

-----

An early Warhammer Siege game - a Chaos army attacking a castle, and for some reason loading up chaos spiky death halfling figures from Bloodbowl into the catapults. First one misses and deviates an inch back from the parapet of the castle wall. We stand there and picture the spiky little thing flying elegantly through the air, only to start descending a bit too early, and landing spreadeagled flat against the vertical wall. And being so spiky that he stays there. We went and found some blu-tack and actually stuck the figure to the wall for the rest of the game.

Reminds me of a nice Original Space Hulk Computer Game incident.
One scenario had been particularly nasty on all my roommates. You have 10 marines stuck down 2 narrow halls with a maze of halls with GS portals on them. Beneath the portals is a huge empty room. To win you must kill 100 GS.
My roommates had gotten through with only a couple marines surviving. I had been boasting about my prowess when a roomie bet me $10 I couldn\'t get through this scenario without any casualties.
Well, put on the tactical cap and I realize the solution is not to take the GS out in the narrow hall where they cannot team up because eventually you will jam or your claws will not be quick enough. Instead I run all men full tilt to the big room, where they stand in a row across the bottom. Every man can see every entry into the room. Put them all on overwatch and sit back and watch the GS die. No casualties!
I didn\'t hold him to the bet because the gloating was enough.

My best gaming moment was long ago, I was playing eldar against chaos. I fired my warp platform at the rhino containing the chaos lord.
Roll the dice for dispersion, the dispersion roll land it right on the top of the rhino, boom.
The chaos lord and some of his troopers didn\'t survive. My opennent could not believe it... It was fun because just before the game he told me that warp plateform were useless. Well he will think twice about it now! lol

1) Playing 1000 points, my Salamanders against Eldar. I have my 75pt Chaplain hold the left flank, and everything else goes right. Chaplain singlehandedly kills an Avatar and then his accompanying Banshee squad in 2 rounds total, followed by a squad of Scorpions that charged him, and finally all the Guardians including Warlocks. Shot down a Vyper too with his stormbolter (yes, he did all this with only 3A in close combat... he got his free thunder hammer upgrade and a 5pt stormbolter, nothing else). I think the only thing that escaped was a second Vyper that ran like hell from this rampaging black armored menace!

2) Seeing my (shooting heavy) Ravenguard Marines get outshot by (close combat heavy) Orks, only to win the game solidly in close combat :wow:

3) Having a 600+ point Command Squad, with all three Marine Characters. Last minute decision to play a larger game, and I didn\'t have any extra models aside from those 2 other characters So I was going to charge a Monolith that just deep struck (striked?) into my lines. My Captain would\'ve had 3+1+1+1+d3 S9 attacks, re-rolling misses. As much as I was looking forward to rolling up all those dice, I didn\'t have to. The squad\'s meltagunner strung together a bunch of sixes to blow the hell out of the Monolith before I had to charge lol

4) My Grey Knights deep strike into enemy lines, behind a Tactical Squad and a Predator. They shoot at the Tactical Squad... kill 1 or 2, and the Incinerator template clips the rear armor of the tank as well. Guess what! Penetrating hit, 6\" explosion that kills another 3-4 Marines Grey Knights unscathed by the explosion of course!

Cool.. I remember when my chaplain with jump pack, and a assault squad veteran sergeant killed of 3 (or more..) Grey knight terminators and 2 squads of 5 and 3 Greyknights afterwards..


They won the game for me!
