In the [[Darker and Edgier|grim darkness]] of [[Warhammer 4000040,000]], there is [[Forever War|only war]]...[[War Is Glorious|and awesome.]]
 
=== Works with their own pages: ===
Line 238:
* This troper will always enjoy the moment, in his first 1500pt game, in which his Falcon ([[Glass Cannon]], very fast, good firepower, sucks in the durability department) scooted along the sidelines and blasted the Scout squad holding the Marines' home objective so badly the rest broke and ran, netting him a 2 objectives to none victory.
* Apocalypse battle, 4,000pts Chaos and Eldar (hey, we were trying to use all of our miniatures!) against 4,000pts Space Marines and Imperial Guard. Chaos Terminator squad pops up in the middle of the field, charges the Space Marine Command Squad, proceeds to demolish them without taking any casualties. Striking Scorpions pop up behind the Land Raider, Exarch with Biting Blade rips it to shreds. Daemon Prince (which, by the way, is green stuff modeled and painted to be Monty Python's Killer Rabbit on a flying base) charges the Dreadnaught and rips ''it'' to shreds. Chosen squad unleashes a barrage of chaotic fury on a Scout squad and they break and run (the same scout squad that broke in the above example, as a matter of fact). Eldrad [[Mind Rape|Mind Wars]] the Imperial Guard general, who bricks his Morale test and dies, and then Eldrad uses his second Mind War on the Commissar, who also bricks his Morale test and dies. The Imperials conceded after another three turns of being pounded into scrap without inflicting significant damage.
* This Troper is still GM'ing a ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' game where so far:
** A Marine has killed five Imperial Guards with a teacup - then proceeded to finish his cuppa.
** A Marine squad has fought its way to the top of a mile-high tower, found nothing at the top, then had half its members take the quick way down by ''jumping out of the nearest window''
Line 258:
*** Maybe it was a bit gloaty, but the line was too good to pass up: "Diana Ross was right. You just experienced...[[Quip to Black|a chain reaction]]" Complete with the replacing of the glasses. I've rarely been more proud of myself.
** The second was less awesome, but despite being immobilised the Land Raider Crusader [[Battlestar Galactica|Kara]] still registered a full thirty-three kills before being wrecked; it didn't hurt that a squad of Daemons scattered far too close to the flamestorm cannons and nine died.
* A game of 3rd Edition [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] involved pitting his Eldar with a single unit Harlequin allies up against a Blood Angels force; with the Eldar woefully outgunned. The game ended in a narrow Eldar victory, thanks to the Harlequins, who destroyed a land raider and obliterated a unit of deep-striking assault terminators, before taking out half of a unit of assault marines, effectively tying up the other half for the last couple of turns. Far outperforming any other unit on the board At the same time, a unit of Warp Spiders managed to keep 2 Rhinos and a unit of SMurfs pinned down and ineffective for half the game, immobilizing one Rhino and stunning the other, until the Vypers could come in and clean up.
* This Troper once played a game of bloodbowl with an Ogre team against Norse. The Norse were about to score a touchdown and had the ball well defended. None of the Ogres could move close enough to tackle the Norse and the snotling were too weak to do anything worthwhile. So in a fit of desperation an ogre ran up to a snotling, picked him up and threw him at the enemies holding the ball, the snotling missed and flew into the crowd killing himself. This didn't phase the ogre team however and they proceeded to throw another snotling, this one hits a friendly ogre and kills him instantly. More snotlings are thrown and eventually the anyone around the general area of the ball was either dead, stunned or knocked out. The ogres managed to barely win that game and cause more damage to themselves than the Norse could ever dream of
** Some of these actions may have caused a turnover but not all rules were being used
