killed by 1 zombie

[KillerK]

Well In a tournament game I had 10 skink face off against 5 Khorn knight's once on one flank. Lot's and lot's of shooting and creative moving among terrain get 3 knight's to die, then knight's charge in to forest another one down, next the last 2 failed their saves in cc . Look on opponent's face - Pricless

game last night had a unit of greatswords tarpitted with zombies and ghouls but it wasnt going well, needed to hold out for one more turn before my lord could make it in.
extra problem was a unit of inner circle knights planning a rear charge on the ghouls.
so i desperately charge a unit of zombies into the knights. not only did the knights fail to kill a single zombie but the zombies killed two of them and ran them down

huzzah for zombies!

This happened quite a while ago so I don't remember the details. Things had clearly gone very wrong for me with a necromancer and his 10ish remaining zombies getting charged by a warsphinx on it's last wound (i think it was a warsphinx - it was proxied). The sphinx demolished all but 1 zombie and the necromancer leaving me with 2 attacks to take his last wound... a couple of stupid rolls later the necromancer was standing proudly atop the remains of an ex-sphinx :tongue:

I still lost though... :grave:

I have quite a few of these, on both sides of the battle.

Stuff that has happened to me (all of which in the past year):
1) My High Elf Lord on a great eagle with dragon armor was challenged by skulltaker. He got 3 wounds through, none of which were killing blow. I rolled my armor saves: 2, 3, 3. "Okay," I said, "I have a re rollable armor save!" Next roll: 3, 3, 3. "Well then," I remarked, "you have flaming attacks, so I have a 2+ ward now!" I picked up my dice, and to my eternal despair, I rolled: 1, 1, 1. Dead general.
2) Razorgor charged the flank of 20 elven archers with a LV4 mage. My unit lost by 1, was steadfast on re rollable leadership of 9. It broke anyway, and ran a whole 2 inches, and was caught.
3) 15 gnoblars charged the same 20 elven archers with LV 4 mage. I lost combat, broke, and was run down.

After that, I gave up using armies that actually have to take break tests.:konrad:

4) But then! I was using vampires. My orc opponent cast foot on my BK bus with general. He rolls a hit on my general, I fail my LOS, fail armor, fail 4+ ward, 2 wounds dealt. He makes the roll to place again. He rolls a hit on my general again, I fail 2+ lookout sir again, fail armor, fail ward, dead general, and most of my army crumbles.

Stuff that I have done:
1) 10 elven archers dropping 4/5 knights with 1+ armor save.
2) redirected a khorne marauder unit of 50 with dogs, in a way to show their flank to my zombies. Zombies charged the flank, won on static CR, broke them, and ran them down! Not bad for what started as a unit of 20 zombies!

My 10 pink horror vs an OnG giant.

Giant charge, got the D6 hit attack. Roll 2, but his roll to wound score 1, 1. The pink horror didn't do anything to the giant. I won by 1 due to the banner and the rank, the giant then failed his break test and the pink horror run him down. Totally unexpected but a welcome surprise !

A unit of skeletons fighting against some DE spearmen. In comes a flank charge from some black guards, manages to kill a shitton of skellies, leaving me with 17 back. I lose combat by 16. Lucky Bob, as he is know known, ensured that I could rear charge his black guards with my unit of cairn wraiths. Had Lucky Bob crumbled, he would have overrun into my zombie bunker, and probably would have slaughtered my necromancer.

Mwahahaha!

This happened a couple of weeks ago against my brother, we were playing a match of 2000 points. Things were looking dire with me only having a couple of units left, while my brother - who's playing Warriors of Chaos - had most of his units left, atleast the ones that mattered. I charged a group of 25 ghouls at his 5 man squad of chaos knights and his 350 points lord. This might sound insane, but given the situation I had nothing to lose, and having a +1 to cr and not getting that +2 str charge felt like the better alternative. During my magic phase I managed to get off vanhels(something that would come in handy later). I thought those poor ghouls would be lost forever though with their only defense being their toughness. We rolled off, his lord and knights going first.

He rolled terribly and with his lord and knights combined he only managed taking down 2 ghouls. I attacked back at the same time as his mounts and I rolled four sixes and the reroll from vanhels gave me another four sixes! Eight poisoned attacks going off at those damnable knights! No more attacks went through though but those 8 were enough, since when he rolling for armor, he rolled five ones! Five! In one stroke all his knights were gone! And the absolute best part was that he didn't manage to stay either and his lord who was now the only one left fled. With my ghouls going after him, managing getting ahold of him and killing him off.

I managed to turn the otherwise poor situation into a win by rolling like I did and he rolling like he did.

Victory! Altought it did feel like I was cheating somehow.

Cool story Lejontass (hey are you perhaps from Sweden? XD), but I have to ask, did your brother use lances on his chaos knight? Never herd of anyone doing that before... +1 S always and magical attacks just seams better to me.

Someone sabotaged my dwarven army's weaponry. All my artillery blew up or didn't fire, my infantry shooting failed utterly. This was against WoC... Yeah, I lost. Horribly.

The very next game versus WE though pretty much everything went my way. My organ guns(2 of them) unloaded 8+ rolls every turn. It was a beautiful massacre. Always enjoy killing elves.

Yes I do happen to be from Sweden! What gave me away? It must've been my crazy laughter, right? Regarding tre lances, I suppose he thought he was better off with the the +2S.
