Most humiliating gaming moments

[MidnightTemplar]

Share with us some of your most embarrassing moments, weather in your gaming youth, or a stupid slip up.

I had mine is a large battle. I'm usually SM, but my friend got the models first, and since we were sharing my IG friend's models, I was stuck with SW. we all had around 1000 or 2000 points, I forgot exactly what I had. All I remember was a LR, a Wolf Lord, and SW basic troops.

1. My land Raider blew up, wounding my Lord

2. I think my Blood Claws were in a feirce fight with a dreadnaught. My sergent had a power fist, so he was the only one that could hurt it. After about 2 turns of fighting, I managed to blow it up, but in the explosion I lost no less than 7 of my troops.

After that I let my allies take over, and instead of playing played Halo 2 or painted.

[ObsceneName]

Let's see:

1.) A full brood of gaunts charge a assault marine squad. 45 attacks - 13 wounds - 13 armor saves. Worst luck in the world.

2.) This time I was experienting how well a single squad of ubergaunts mixed in with standards worked. Well last turn and fnial part of it(my turn.) I decide what the hell. I charge a Dreadnought with them and I have a carnifex follow suit. Carnifex kills the dreadnought. The resulting explosion kills 465 points worth of gaunts.

[Strybjorn]

Hmmm, I was playing my space wolves against my WorldEaters, my friend Adam playing my World Eaters. Well, he tears up one flank with a squad of berserkers and I open up with my long fangs, tearing down all but one of the little buggers. Well, he manages to charge my long fangs, and when the dust settles, the berserker was speared on the power sword of my wolf guard pack leader, but not after he killed my missile launcher armed marine, my heavy bolter armed marine, and the pack leader. Then of course there is the time that Abaddon took down a venerable, a blood claw pack of 15 marines, with wolf guard pack leader, and Ragnar blackmane. Now, as for my friend adam, we faced off, his Blood Angels (3000 points) vs. my space wolves (2500). Turn one, lascannon armed long fang destroys Baal Predator, turn two, lascannon armed long fang takes our Furioso Dread, turn three, lascannon again, picks off rhino carrying command squad, only the apothecary came out alive.... That was really embarassing...

[CRasterImage]

What reason did you come up with, to have Blood Angels fighting Space Wolves?

[Roobix]

2 squad platoon of ig killed 3 squads of fw and an ethereal taking no casualties.
i kept rolling 1s on to-hit.
then the ethereals death caused my whole army to retreat due to failed moral checks.

[cfoley]

[What reason did you come up with, to have Blood Angels fighting Space Wolves?I guess thay both wanted to play each other and that's the armies they had.

Edit: Just correcting my faulty forum code!

[nyyti]

I flew a vyper on a top of a bunker so it would have better position for shooting. Then a necron destroyer comes blows the vyper up and scores "explode". Unfortunately my whole seer council was under it and who guesses what happened. The WHOLE damn squad was annihilated :smash: .
This one is not mine but worth of saying: My buddy fires 4 lascannons 16 times at my predator and best they did was one "crew shaken" :nana: .

[Fake Sinatra]

My humiliating moments always happen after I say something like "I'm in good shape unless I roll snake eyes"

*rolls dice* snake eyes

*picks up two terminators from the table*

[Cynical Rabbit]

I was using tank company I think. It was only about 1000 points, and I was fighting space marines. It was the last turn in cleanse. He was approaching one of my leman russes through a bottle neck and obviously had given up. There was an 8 marine body guard and commander and a 7 member tactical squad all packed super tight. I managed to get a perfect battlecannon hit on them ALL. Gleefully I rolled the dice and got......15 ones. Genuinely. I failed to wound ANYTHING. Next turn he managed to take down the Russ and claimed the quarter.

[General_Xue]

Bloodthirster attacking Rhino: 4 attacks hit it, so I roll AP dice. 4 penetrating. This rhino has to go down! Roll 1st dice (we decided I only need roll 1 as it's likely to go down)... a 1. I stare at the dice. Roll 2nd. a 1. Roll 3rd. a 1. The Rhino must now be folded in half due to the sheer force of the Bloodthirster's axe hitting it, and empty due to the crew legging it in fear!

Last dice: a 6!

Rhino explodes, everyone cheers, Greater daemon collapses from exhaustion.

[Brother Wolf]

For me: Playing IG and having my 3 snipers all roll 1's while attempting to drop the sentries of my opponent.

For my friend: Losing a Falcon Grav Tank filled w/ Howling Banshees to a Storm Bolter. (The exact opposite as slews of 6's are rolled).

[Starkad]

7 kroot warriors charge 6 imperial guardsmen (with lasguns). 1 guardsman die and only one kroot survives to reatreat from the failed assault... who was shot in his back right after.

[n0signal]

During a campaign game in 2nd ED, lots of silly things happened, the hightlights of which include:

My opponent's Inquisitor uses the Vortex psychic power on me, it goes astray, missing all my men completely, but managing to suck his Azreal (SP? - the Dark Angels commander) into the Warp. Dead. Mwuhaha!

In the same battle my Chaos predator, called Morgoth, was plowing across the battlefield at full speed. I underestimated it's width and it hurtled inbetween two bunkers... getting jamed between them!! Spent the rest of the battle sitting there firing side sponsons, since the main turret got damaged in the crash.

[MaD_hAmiSh]

hmmm...
Worst moment has got to be when i was playing Fantasy and got massacred by Elves. I had packed for 40k and only had whatever Dwarves i was too lazy to take out of the case. He was a first time player and nobody bothered to say anything about point costs. His High Elves massacred my Dwarves to the man. He had all shooty units. I found out after the game that he was using 500pts and i was using 750.... I had not had my cannon and had on regiment made up of Boltthrower crew and whatever else was in my case.

[Cable]

Once I was playing a 2500pt game with my Dark Angels. It was a 4-way match and I was up against 'Nids, Orks and Space Marines.

Turn 1 - One Devestator squad with 4 missile launchers shoot all shoot at the Nid Hive Tyrant [who had been deployed n00bishly - I didn't even have to move]

I roll four 1's.....

Turn 2 - 2 Tac Squads with plasma cannons shoot at Hive Tyrant...... I roll ones..... o no! Gets hot.... both my plasma canon-weilding bitches died....

I ended up losing my Predator to a single lucky krak missile.... and ended up losing the game.....

[BillyBob]

my friend got all 3 rokkits on his tankbustas to hit (5s and 6s baby!) my burna boyz... 2s killed them.. he rolled all 1s..... :jaw:

[BlindManBoots]

this didnt happen to me, but this was a 10000 point game, Fantasy. Empire, Empire, Orcs and Goblins, and an ALL SNOTLINGS ARMY. Loads of mishaps happen. A couple of my favorites were:

1)Empire mage casting some comet spell or something on the first turn, on the third turn it blows up. Empire1 loses a whole unit of crossbows, Orks and Gobbos lose 2 ranks of both black orcs and goblins, and the ogres guy loses 6 Ogres. Snotlings take 1 casuality.

2)A Hellfire Gun shoots at one last ogre, each time rolling a misfire to hit and a 5 to see what happens, meaning the guns all malfunction and dont get to fire this turn.

3)Snotrag the Mediocre(the Snotling HQ choice) decided to charge a squad of 4 Ogres on their flank. First round of combat, kills one ogre. HE IS A SNOTLING! Second round, kills another ogre. Ogres fail their break check, so they run. Rolls snake eyes for distance. Snotrag later rolls 9 inches to run them down. He was later declared the MVP of the game.

[Imrix]

Mvp?

[BlindManBoots]

Most Valuble Player

[ScionReaver]

I was playing with my Battle for Macragge set with my friend (i still haven't decided on what army to start with! PM ME WITH A TIP!), on the second mission, he has to get Lieutenant Varras 36" down to the Exit zone, and the rules state for me to position my spore mines with 1 just 1" away from Varras. Turn 1: My spore mine runs into Varass, making it an immediate win. :D

[BrianGeneral]

My friend's:
In a 500pts 1v1v1(Ultra vs Tau vs Crons) battle,he moved a Wriath into CC with my 10 FWs.He then can't even kill a single FW in 2-3 turns time and get itself killed twice by my FW(restored by WWB).

Mine:
1.Being wiped out >75% of my army at the FIRST TURN!!

2.My Hammerhead has its >80% of time get killed in the 1st turn.

3.3 Broadsides aiming at a LR,got 3 1s.Reroll,3 1s again.

4.My Shas'O has BS 5,right?I got 3 1s for my Plasma Rifle and Missile Pod.

[Fang]

Ive gots a good one.. I got a scorpion super heavy grav tank from forge world (saved up the money myself).. its a big arse tank.. 3 structure points, 12 armor on all faceings but rear, and of course the 4+ shield save.. all for say 650 pts.. I was like dude this thing is pure ownage.. now me and my cousin wanted to play a game ( he doesnt quite have 1500 pts, and you need 2000 to field the scorpion) So I convince him that just to give it a test run, we'll have a nice my scorpion versus 650 pts of his chaos.. (I figured hed get owned) haha heres where I got utterly humiliated.. 2nd turn, his chaos Sorceror is in a building looking through the edge of a window, fires of psychic power for tzeentch that works like a las cannon, hits the tank, penetrates the tank, I roll the 4+ save.. nope.. he rolls on the damage table, 6... (1 structure point gone roll again) he rolls another 6.. and another.. (no more structure points (he also got a 6 to penetrate)... rolls on the final table.. comes up 4 (tank goes boom)... yep thats right my tank exploded on the 2nd turn from one psychic power through a window no less... needless to say my cousin has no respect for that tank anymore..

[bloodthirster90]

jeez, thats bad. i ad this happen to me. one tact squad vs termie squad. just a quick fight between me and my m8. his tact squad and myb termies started up. he pwned me. in 3 turns!

[Kant]

Not mine, but when an entire Termie squad fell to a SoB Veteran (Power Sword)

and how my 500 point chaos lord fell to DIRE WOLVES on first turn

[Gonzo]

Blind Man Boots, tell em about the time the genestealers charged your grey knights when they were in cover.

For me-When I realized that my big shoota didnt count for 3 attacks in close comabt like a slugga....

[BlindManBoots]

Oh yeah. My buddy's brother was playing me in a Assassinate game. It was his nids versus my Daemonhunters. The whole game he was dominating me, so I began taunting him to charge my 7 man Grey Knight squad with his 10 thing Genestealer squad. I eventually killed all of them in hand-to-hand.

Oh, and by learned, do you mean me shouting at you and hitting you in the head with your codex?

[QuixotesGhost]

I always brag about how badass my Cannoness is...

Well one game, she charged a Tau HQ, missed with all her attacks, took a wound from a drone, failed her Ld test and ran away crying.

It was diasapointing to say the least.

[MaD_hAmiSh]

Not for me, but for someone else. Playing agianst an Empire player, get everything into combat with his knights, Slayers, Cannon crew and my engineer. His knights finally run away after losing a model and being badly outnumbered and flanked. He rolls three dice to flee, i have to roll 2d6-1 to pursue. Slayers and Cannon crew fail, my half dead engineer comes up. I roll Boxcars for pursuit, chasing down a 14 wound unit of heavy cavalry with a 75 point charachter.

[HaXxorIzed]

Well, It wasn't really me but it was my ally (I was playing as a radical inquisiztor and his elite Kraskrin Guard)

A single Guardsman, a freaking vanilla guardsman, beat a bloodthirster in CC, killed it when it was at full wounds and then defeated my Ally's Chaos Lord, and two of his chosen terminators, and chased them away from the objective, leaving another enemy squad to win the game.

[BlindManBoots]

its impossible for a Guardsman to kill a Bloodthirster in CC when it is at full wounds, unless they fought for several rounds of combat or the rest of the squad took him down a bit.

[Gorkamorka]

One kroot rifle hit from the front blew my watrukk up....including my warboss and his nobs and their mad-doks + mekboyz and their grot assistants. :(

Thats the reason why I now have a looted rhino.

[Voyager_I]

Not knowing about the ordinance cannon on top of a monolith, and drop podding (v3 rules) a squad of marines right next to it in perfect pie plate formation...he rolled a "hit"...

[HeRiTiCs ]3@Ne]

4 army game
oks, nids, dark eldar, chaos

a few squads of orks close against a carnifex : 100+ dice rols = 1 wound
darkeldar 6" away : 2 pistol shots = 2 wounds = dead carnifex
then the orks came after the dark eldar - doh!
lol

[eleveninches]

My entire 5-man term squad (took up most of my 1000 point army I was using) was taken out by a swooping hawk exarch with a melta gun :(:(:(

[Imrix]

A swooping hawk Exarch can't have a Meltagun.

A fire dragon exarch can have something like it.

[cfoley]

They probably could have a meltagun in 2nd ed. I would check but it's really not worth digging the old codex from out of the loft.

[snrjefe]

Here's one from Epic.

I was Eldar, my buddy IG and Marines.

My 1st shooting turn:
Warlord Titan hit by Phantom Titan Vibro Cannon (ignores void shields) 6 for damage, leg collapses, warlord falls on Capitol Imperialis, both go boom. Tempest Host blasts apart his Shadowswords, Vypers and Jetbikes CC his IG heavy weapons company and decimate them. Dark Reapers bring down a building occupied by assualt marines.

Turn 2, he can't issue orders to IG because the CI was destroyed. His marine bikes try to charge a guardian host and snap-fire from reapers and falcons leave 2 bikes to engage in CC. Terminators try teleport near the Avatar (he's playing for pride now) but scatter right next to a squad of Exarchs and Wave Serpents w/ Scorpions. Serpent bow wave scatters them further, immobilizes them and Exarchs/SS wipe them out.

The only thing that worked for him the whole game were his drop pods. They landed perfectly and gave him control of two objectives, preventing a victory point shutout.

[Da_Humie]

I once lost a dreadnought to a bike. That sucked. It took three turns, but all my rolls were horrible. I'd forgotten my altar, so I couldn't make a sacrifice to the dice gods to bless my rolls. It showed.

[Aquila]

3rd Edition, using Cadian rules.

A Chaos Sorcerer casts Doombolt at my Imperial Guard Command Squad, and fries 1 guardsman. The Sanctioned Psyker casts "psychic ward."

He rolls double 6's, which fails the test and causes a "perils of the warp" test. The Commissar immediately executes the Psyker.

The execution means 25% casualties, and the squad fails it's morale check. The Commissar executes the Colonel and attempts to rally the squad.

The Commissar-led squad fails its morale check again and frags the Commissar, and the remaining 3 guardsmen run off the table.

The Chaos Sorceror laughs, having killed one Guardsman and seeing the rest of my command unit slaughter each other and flee the battlefield.

[Voyager_I]

I don't think the psyker would've counted as a casualty from shooting, so there shouldn't have been a morale check. Still funny though.

One I saw in another game: Eldar Avatar+Seer council (like 3) in cc with four or five veteran guardsmen with hardened fighters doctrine. Over the course of two turns, the guardsmen take no losses and wipe out the seers. The game then ended.

[Aquila]

FAQ for sanctioned psykers said that since the casualty occurred as a result of something that happened in the shooting phase, it did indeed count towards the 25%. I wasn't very happy.

[nyyti]

IG guardsman with sniper rifle fires to my rhino and takes nice penetrating 6...nice job for a SNIPER!

[MadJackMcJack]

It would be the time back when I had Orkz, and was fighting a Guard army. I had a couple of trukkz and some bikez, and sent them on a flank attack. Basilisk round dropped right into the middle of the trukkz, blew both of them up, and the resulting explosions wiped out most of the bikez and boyz. I still have the carpet burns on my chin.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Pure brilliance.

[Aquila]

Elder... Sniper rifles can't penetrate vehicles...

[nyyti]

Oh... but rulebook says sniper has 2d6 AP...hmm...misread again. Sorry, but it still couldn't save my tank :D.

[Aquila]

Sniper Rifles have an AP of D6...

[Voyager_I]

It's been upped in v4 to represent them sniping critical locations (fuel lines, exposed crew, etc)

[Aquila]

Ah, my mistake. Just drove back to school today and had to leave my rulebook at home. I'm going through Warhammer Withdrawl!!

[Adoni-Zedek]

First game of 40k, this was 2nd Ed., I was playing space wolves with eldar allies against tyranids, 3000 pts. First psychic phase, he uses Psychic Scream, taking out my Farseer and Shadow seer in one blow. I never even thought of using a nullify, and I had two level 4 librarians with psychic hoods (reroll failed nullify attempts) and plenty of nullify cards.

My Predator had a lurker on board, and I said "as long as it doesn't go for the pilot, I'm fine." Right. So my pilot easily dispatches the beast, but while he's busy, the predator hits a cliff wall and explodes.

His hormagauts charge, but only one comes in contact with my terminators, one armed with lightning claws. I win easily, but roll 1's for wounding.

My devestator squad (Long Fangs) got wiped out by high-flying gargoyles, because I forgot to put them in overwatch, and I foolishly charged my solitare forward, overestimating the benefits of a holo-suit, and he was quite messily riddled with spikes from my opponent's termagants' spike rifles.

This was all by the end of turn two. We didn't bother with turn three.

(The next time I played him, I had three landspeeders and I massacred him. Sweet revenge! :D )

Imperial Space Marines

[EffeKt]

I am fairly new to Warhammer 40,000. Moved up from Fantasy Warhammer, but anywho, my most humiliating gaming momment would have to be when my Striking Scorpions assaulted a Tactical Space Marine squad. My exarch landed nothing, my Striking Scorpions landed nothing, and then the marine squad landed four wounds in which I rolled all ones to save.

[Imperial marine]

space marine commander gets killed by a GROT!

[Voyager_I]

holy s***!

[Defiance]

Well i once got beat horribly by a girl who was using a pink blood angels army for the first 2 turns turns all i rolled was ones and twos. The worst thing i remember about that game is it was my first game using ethereal and she killed it turn one 1/4 my units ran off the board, 4 out of 6 crisis suit blew up do to flying into trees it was just remarkably unlucky for me, turn 3 all i had on the board was a hammerhead and a couple of lone firewarriors.

[Voyager_I]

I can almost hear your self-esteem shatter...

...I need to play more, I haven't been humiliated enough times...

...I have, but those were all massive cheese-fests where I didn't know the rules and neither did my enemies, so they did some REDICULOUSE cheating...

[Kage]

7 man terminator squad charging through difficult terrain at 6 guardsmen, they get like two inches, guardsmen charge terminators, kill five, terminators run away from GUARDSMEN through terrain.....

"OMGz, they have bayonets and T-shirts! , We have 10 inch thick armour and giant fists pulsing with energy strong enough to rip a tank to peices! Run away brothers!"

[Fang]

I think youd run away to if a guy with a t-shirt and a bayonet managed to kill one of your comrads in 10 inch thick armor with a powerfist to...

[nyyti]

A leman russ fired three times at an ork buggy, miss, miss and miss. Then buggy shoots front armour with rokkit launcha, dice rolls were 6, 6 and 6. Boom!

[Imrix]

Mine would have to be the time I was fighting imperial guard and the only shots fired by the standerd bearer (of which there were two)

First shot at a heavy destroyer: Needs a four to hit, up comes a four. Needs a six to wound, up comes a six. I need a three to save. Up comes a two. I need a four to get up again. Up comes a two.

Second shot at another heavy destroyer: same thing except I got a one to get back up.

One guardsman with a big flag and a flashlight killed a heavy destroyer...

[MaD_hAmiSh]

Riduculouse? Sounds like some sort of insect superhero.
The most annoying thing has got to be a cannon exploding on turn one. Thats a pretty big chuck of points too. Especially in a 1000 point game, it would be about 10% of your army.

[Guilliman]

Chaos versus my UltraMarines...


It wasnt humiliating for me but for my oponent :s i still lought at him




1 10-man Marine squad got assaulted by chaos berzerkers (he was khorn) and a maxed out chaos lord. My comander (terminator armour, Power weapon, storm bolter,...) was stading 4"-5" away and looked at the battle for 3 turns, untill i decided to go help my little squad wich killed 0 Berzerkers or the chaos lord, end The marines lost 6 of their own...

So I charcged, attacked, took hits he took hits, I killed 90% of his berzerkers and decapitaded his chaos lord.....


The scene ws funny, took 6 turns of CC in total :s he though "yeah No one beats my berzerkers and my lord, untill they met my comander...



---
Also, loosing a 3 landspeeder squad to 5 kroots is very embarising.... I fly...shoot 3 heavy bolters (9 shot) all miss....he shoots, 3 hit (yes only 3) Hup I had to roll 3 on the glance tables.....guas what...I rolled two 6, and one Imobilized.. boom, (this was in a 500V500pts game) needless to say, i lost short after that to FW fire
