Space Marine Eric

[orkblasta]

K so I have this one space marine that know matter what happens never seems to hit anything and always seems to kill himself. He's part of a tac. squad and carries a plasma gun, I've had him as part of my army for just over a year, he's been involved in easily over 50 games, and I can only remember him surviving through 2 games.

If he doesn't get shot up by the enemy, he either overheats his gun and fails his armor sv. or he is the only one in the squad to fail his dangerous terrain test.

I played a tournament with my friends, we played 5 games, he died in every game because of gets hot rolls.

This marine is the worst soldier in my army, does anyone else have a soldier in their army that's either amazing or just as bad as space marine Eric?

its funny that you called him Eric... I have a friend named Eric who Team killed his roommate and himself with lysol spray in the eyes at the same time... (didn't die) had to drive them to the ER at 3 A.M. though with -30 degree F weather.

I also have an under performing Gun'fex called c0ck-mongoler because he never hit anything in 4th edition or now... all he could do was kill Razorbacks and soulgrinders in CC never killed much else...

also have a Carni called chunk cuz he ate half of a 1500 point CSM army

Recent game against a space marine player was made more fun by the fact he kept calling one of his captains "85." I asked him about it and he said, "That's his IQ." Apparently 85 is an underachiever among space marine captains

Back in 4th ed I had a sniper fex that was blind in one eye and a sniper in the other. In all the games I ever played with him I don't think he ever rolled a hit with his venom cannon. His barbed strangler on the other hand would hit scarily often and even the times it didn't hit it usually scattered off and did damage to another unit.. Case in point (and a favorite of mine) Venom cannons fail to hit a dreadnaught (front armor) Barbed strangler scatters 7 inches to land dead center on a Rhino. Poof no more rhino.

Back in 4th when spinefists were plausible (still got the model though) I used to run 2 broods of spinegaunts. 1 of these had a cap I made to honour it, the reason being that this lowly 5pt model single handedly killed 3 Khorne Terminator champions with dual lightning claws in 1 turn (shooting+assault) without dying. Then in another game it went about surviving nearly every heavy weapon in an IG army firing at it (for the lulz).
This mighty gaunt, nicknamed Rambo-gaunt, has turned the tides of battle in my favour many a times. (only for me to later lose anyway)

Then I do of course have my absolutely amazing Witch Hunter cannoness (2+ save, 1 EW wound and Eviscerator) who seem to hate herself as she tends to jump headfirst into anything capable of hurting her (so, everything) coming her way. There's a real martyr in her for sure!

Cheers!

I had this one Screamer-killer Carnifex called "Special Ed" and all it would ever do is die XD. It never killed anything in close combat, and would always die to stupid things like snipers and stuff. Hilarity ensued.

I guess all it ever wanted to be was a Tervigon, because ever since i converted him, he's been doing great. Spawning many a baby, all healthy and full of bloodlust.

We're throwing a baby shower next week. Preferred gift is body bags. You can never have enough of those with the little tykes running around.

I have this one termigaunt "suicide joe" his squad always dies no matter if they are in cc or on the other side of the table and his rolls always fail.

on the other side I have a mortar sqad that never rolls an arrow on the scatter die and always rolls an "on target" result for all 3 mortars.

My friend has a chaos terminator lord with dual lightning claws who has been given the nickname "Captain Snakeyes", because he always rolls snakeyes. ALWAYS. Case in point, the last time he was on the table he assaulted 10 termagants (under kyle's control using my 'nids), and died.

My Hive Tyrant, called Bill for reasons I forget, has a habit of failing nearly every Dangerous Terrain test he's had to make. Back in the old dex he was usually Winged, and led to one incident where he tore apart half an army then died to a tree. One game he did in fact lose 3 wounds to those tests.

No other Nid's done well individually, mind. Stealers still haven't learnt how to rend as well as my Raveners, Zoanthropes can't hit anything, Devilgaunts wipe out small nations, etc.

In my Dark Eldar, my Archon Ladyface has two fates: either to destroy the enemy army by herself, or fail the first Shadowfield save to a weapon that can instant-death her.

[Buckshot]

One of mah sniper scouts always fails dangerous terrain so he's like useless, after a game like a month ago, I painted a sad face on his base...

[moonface]

All I really have is a CC Hive Tyrant who once killed itself with nothing but Perils of the Warp. The other guy couldn't touch him with an entire army's worth of guns but he decided to die anyway.

[orkblasta]

wow you guys have some great stories. I decided a while ago that every time a soldier in my army does something spectacular I add some awards to his model, such as medals or sacred writing on his shoulder pad or knee pad, it's pretty sweet but I have to record what each model does in the game. So I had a lieutenant who lost his entire squad at the begging of the game, he was equipped with a power fist and plasma pistol. For the rest of the game he ran around shooting and assaulting killing 184pts. worth of enemy models before dieing on the 6th turn to a pissed off group of dire avengers. I rewarded him greatly for his achievements, he's been honored with a company banner on his pack.
