I thought it would be fun to remember some of all of our great moments in 40K.

To kick it off I will have to go with a moment from a big game from last week.

We were playing a big game with 4 vs 4. One side had Space Wolves, Blood Angels, Tau, IG vs Chaos Space Marines, Necrons, Tyranids, Space Marines. We were able to get Lukas the Trickster into hand to hand with the Necron C'tan Nightbringer. Of course the C'tan beat down Lukas and his Last Laugh ability took out the C'tan much to the excitement of our team, and the disgust of the opposing team.

AAAAAAHHH good times!

So lets hear it, lay some of those awesome moments out for all of us to enjoy.

This is an old one but a still a fond memory. After 3rd edition came out all the armies were nerfed pretty badly except for marines. Space Marines 3+ armor saves where just tough for every army to deal with at the time without having viable codices. My friend had gotten a Dark Angels codex and was doing very well against everyone for several months. My Eldar were almost non-playable before they got their 3rd edition codex. Finally after several agonizing months GW bestowed upon us Eldar players a codex and I played one of the my first games against my friend with the Dark Angels. I got first turn and destroyed 80% of his army. In his turn he didn't kill a single thing in my army. On my 2nd turn I ran a Vyper up to his Whirlwind to and just to rub in my inevitable victory I planted it 1 inch away from the Whirlwinds hull. In that turn I easily dispatched the rest of his army but my last shot from the Vyper to the Whirlwind caused the Whirlwind to blow up and it took out my Vyper. The Vyper was the only thing I lost in that battle and it was self inflicted. If you are wondering how I killed the marines so easily is that Star Cannons were over powered in 3rd edition.

To this day my favorite thing to kill in 40k is Space Marines, they just die so easily.

Thanks for reminding me of this!!

That reminds me of the days when you played Chaos Dwarfs and would run your mage up to peoples big nasty generals and trap them in the Black Gem of Gnar(spelling?). You made no friends on those days.

Ok I have 2 that I couldn't decide between.

The first one was shortly after the Dawn of war game came out for the computer. I made a compaign based off the video game. It was a 2 vs 2 game. I dont remember what the mission was. It was Blood Angels and Eldar vs Chaos and Orks. The Chaos player assaulted his Deamon Prince into a unit of Warp Spyders. The Deamon Prince then forgot what he was doing and after 2 turns of fighting the Prince was bested by the Warp Spyders.

The Second one was against the new Dark Eldar codex. I was using my Salamanders. Vulkan, Master of the Forge, and 6 Dreads in Drop pods. After deployment I actually stole the initiative and went first. Well after my 5 Dreads and 1 Lascannon shot 6 of his vehicles went down. He then said well I lost but we might as well play it to the finish. With only 2 vehilces left and nothing to stop my dreads I Slowly chewed up the rest of his army with the dreads. I poded my tac squads on objectives and the never even needed to fire a shot.
