30 slugga orks being ran over by 5 devasator marines
Back in third edition, I played in a gits and shiggles game called Kill the Wabbits. Basically, fight your opponent and kill bunny rabbits as well, each rabbit worth a victory point. The rabbits had the stat line of grots, except they went last, even after powerfists. The only save they had was a 6+ Inv. I had a squad of five Terminators charge a rabbit and whale away at it. The rabbit saved against the only wound I inflicted. When it attacked back, it wounded one of my Terminators. I then promptly failed my 2+ armor save. I looked up at my opponent, and we burst out laughing at the same time. It was bloody hilarious. Here we have a marine who's been killing the Emporer's enemies for probably 200 years, he's good enough to earn Terminator armor, and he gets taken out by a bunny rabbit. Needless to say, the chapter didn't bother recovering his geneseed. I've been chuckling about that one ever since.
Back in 2nd Ed., I had one of my Ratling snipers go mano-a-mano with a Space Marine Captain in Terminator armor. A handful of very lucky dice rolls later, the Space Marine Captain went down to defeat. Granted, his buddies turned that Ratling into shish-ka-bob, but it was still pretty funny.
I've had others, but those were definately the strangest and most fun.
Valkerie, that rabbit thing is hilarious. Seriously, I am sitting here cracking up about the geneseed comment.
My crazied thing was probably when I was Tau and my brother's chaos terminator squad (toughness 5 due to Nurgle) charged into combat against a squad of firewarriors with a teamleader with a bonding knife. The termies all had a pair of lightning claws. They killed 10 of the 12 FW. I struck back and missed with my first guy. The team leader rolled a 4 to hit. Then a 6 to wound. My brother then failed his 2+ save. It was amazing. On my turn I charged in 3 krootox and about 30 kroot. 2 turns later My 2 fire warriors, a handfull of kroot, and a krootox survived.
It was not over, as his Chaos Lord with a daemon weapon charged into combat, after slaying a couple of my battle suits. He had 2 wounds remaining. First turn of combat he killed almost all of my guys, but all he had was powerarmour so I managed to inflict a wound on his T4 ***. Next turn he rolled a 2 or a 3 for the bonus attacks, killing the rest of my kroot and 1 or my firewarriors. All I had was the terminator slayed team leader firewarrior. I rolled a 4 to hit. Then a 5 to wound. My opponent rolled and it ended up being a 5, but it barely slid off the board. He rolled a 2.
My single team leader killed a nurgle termie and finished off a beastly chaos lord. He was then upgraded instantly Shas'o (HQ rank)

Once, many moons ago, I was fighting against my housemate's Dark Angels army with my Tyranids.
I had a unit of 6 Genestealers that charged his unit of 5 Ravenwing bikers. My Genestealers caused 5 rending wounds, but couldn't do any normal wounds due to their Toughness 5. My housemate went to take them off, then remembered their 6+ 'Jink' save. He rolled 5 6's, cried "Yahtzee", then wiped out my 'stealers and went on to shoot up my warriors.
Not happy Jan.
3 scout sentinels, and a IG vet squad held off 3 tyranid warriors and a carnifex.....for 4 rounds lol
We were playing a massive apoc game and my Grey Knight Dreadnaught decided to go balls out for a Warhound Titan. He charges the Titan and in the first round knocks out his plasma blastgun. The next four rounds consist of me whiffing/not penetrating and him whiffing on WS 2 v. my WS5. Then finally my Dread tires of this and decides to take out the Titan, rolls two penetrating hits, goes 6 and then 5 for two structure pts, and another 5 for 3rd point eliminating the Titan. He then dies in a hail of multimelta fire but you know what? he earned that death.
I watched my roomie and my friend play a game of Dark Angels vs Chaos Marines. Abbadon assaulted a dreadnought and managed to blow off both CC weapons on turn 1. After that he couldn't get any result better than shaken/stunned. The dread proceded to kick him to death with str 6 regular cc attacks over the next 3 rounds...
Come all you Xeno scum and fallen heretics! Come face the one true might of the universe and wither under the Golden Throne's gaze!
10 banshess go through almost go through a whole gray knight army including, terminators, and two full squads, with out having to doom the squads. I end up attacking one more squad with five left agianst another full squad killing down to one man, and being charged by another. After that I was ok if they died lol.
