What's your biggest WTF in 8th?

[Hive Bahamut]

So to bring another lighter topic to the table I am curious. It seems most games the dice follow math pretty well, but we have all seen things that just.. Make you wonder. What are your examples of this in 8th? Here are 2 for me:

Last index game: I used 3 Zoans because they were promised 1 game before the codex hit. They were pseudo Tyrant Guard for my Swarmlord forming a Triangle around him. Enemy went first, charged Zoanthropes with a 5 man Custodes Squad. Zoanthropes went entirely unscathed, through 2 rounds of combat, before exploding the second a few Bolters looked their way. "Bad units huh? Laugh at us huh?" Something like 30 3++ before they crumbled..

Current 3000 4 way game: Hive Guard with Impalers decided to shoot at Pask in his Punisher to plunk a few wounds off. Tank dies at full health. We both checked the numbers twice, because they never do that.

I was playing Harlequins before the Nids codex came out, i had 4 Troupes and 4 Voidweavers/Starweaver (8 vehicles total) all 8 exploded and 3+ i rolled 1's when seeing if they get hurt, in 3 turns i personalty killed 1500pts of my own models rolling 6's and 1's at the wrong times.

This hasn't happened to me but I'm waiting for the game where I go Nidzilla and a Death Throes chain reaction kills a majority of my MCs.

All right I think everyone has this story but it's my turn to add to it, 20 devourer gaunts vs 5 wolf guard terminators, shoot into them and I roll pretty well 10 wounds. My opponent rolls, rolls 8 1s, 4 termies are dead and the last one runs off to moral (rolled double 6s on they shall know no fear) making this the only time in imperial history a squad of gaunts massacred a full terminator squad and walked away unharmed

While teaching some friends Warhammer my dual scything talon walkrant had perils three times and on the third time I decide to reroll only roll the same again and it killed him. Poor bugger never made combat and was mostly ignored.

The LoS rules in general.

seriously was it that confusing in 7e to need change

4 units of rippers took the last 7 wounds of an ork trukk over 3 rounds of combat...3 warriors with bonswords killed 10 nobs in 1 combat....my favorite, trygon prime failed 7 wound rolls of 3+ in 1 combat

Was playing a larger team game, 4v3, at 6000 points total. 4 Tyranids players vs a mix of primaris marines, blood angels, and orks.

There were some statistical improbabilities in that game, but the best was probably some blood angels character with a 2+ rerollable melee attack charging a Hive Tyrant, and missing all but one of its attacks.

Precodex in a kitchen table game, I took my 2x scythes Flyrant and threw it at a dreadknight, did 0 damage in melee and then died in like two hits. I tried it again in another game and the same thing happened. Codex came out and I tried it, got some favorable rolls and the knight was toast. It felt like GW listened and adapted, which to me, was a very pleasent WTF.

Played a game vs deathguard. The DG player had 60 pox walkers on the board and I had 186 gaunts on the board. Over the course of the game the DG player did not gain a single poxwalker.

I don't know how

Screamer killer comes in via pod.

Bioplasma at back of a predator nothing.

Charges and fails, reroll a distance and makes it.

1 hit no wounds. Predator saves.

Pop strategen to fight again, also pop reroll strategem. 2 wounds this time. Double 6s prefer saves both.

Predator does 1 wound back.
