Army Superstitions

[lazarus]

More an amusing story than a regular occurence:

Daemonhunters vs IG. Battlecannon lands dead on and blows up all 12 members of my Inquisitor lords retinue. He survives his invulnerable save, marches alone across the battlefield, through 2 guardsmen squads and melta bombs the russ. Boom.

Also my daemonhunters vs 1000 points of eldar, i didnt use any grey knights, and after about turn 2-3 he had 500 points eldar and I had just the inquisitor left. I lost, just, at the end he had 2 guardians and a warlock.

nice....
this might just be me, but every time my marines get a nice clean shot with their plasma weapons, they roll a 1 and die as their guns explodes...its not fair!!!

[Virtual Falcon]

I have my hive tyrant.....Always missed. 1 or 2 hits, then falied to wound.
1/10 wounds, or something.
I decided to call it Fluffy, and then played another game. Straight into CC, 6 hits, 6 wounds.
boom. Whole command squad gone in 1 turn.

[Sledgehammer]

When I say (after glancing a vehicle): "All I need now is a 6!" my opponents go pale, because my nids have a reputation of destroing vehicles with glancing hits, after I say so...

[Virtual Falcon]

Recent game, I managed to roll 4 1s for carnifex saves. The chance of that is 1/1296. Ouch.

Well, that was a horrible match I just had. My Archon charged a pathfinder squad, and ended up dying in combat, killing only two of them and two drones. Also, the kroot allies got massacred, and everything went wrong.

In a nutshell, my entire army died, with half of my casualties being in CC against fire warriors. He didn't lose over 50% of anything, meaning the Tau guy got 100% of the Victory points available and I got none. I'm reprimanding the entire squad and flogging them with my far superior Nids until they learn how to fight in CC again.

How's that for battle Karma? I hope my next match goes the other way next time...

in my nids I have never had to make a LD check cause my Synapse creatures will not die when they Have to provide synapse. I roll more six's for rending marines then for any other army. I had a single Gaunt take out a marine Command Squad in CC.

my Ork army has a Zzap gun Crew Grot that has never been killed and he has on multiple occasions taken out Terminators in CC

My Chaos dreadnaught has never killed anything...EVER

[omnivore]

My Hive Tyrant only rolls 1,2,4,5,6 to hit at BS4, nullifying it.

My Genestealers make a 4+ save about 1/6 times.

My HTH Warriors make a 4+ save about 5/6 times.

My guardsman kill themselves with rapid fire plasma about 90% of the time.

I believe that if you roll great with some dice you must not use them again due to their being "tired". Always pick up new dice!

My friend charged my broodlord with a dreadnought and he went first and decimated my broodlord with about 5 wounds. Then i pointed out that my broodlord had alot more initiative and rolled a six and one shotted the dreadnought.

[Enigma]

My carnifex, loaded out with everything defensive other than T (I thought it wouldn't make much of a difference), was taken out by a bunch of grotz with just blastas. Only 7 of them. That was pretty pathetic.

[T Spear_Chucker]

During a 3000 pt game, my down to single wound broodlord and an enemy dark reaper squad were the only things left. My broodlord survived 2 turns of no-cover shooting from them, charged them, killed clearzone, and sweeping advanced them.
In a 1000 pt game, I had about 200 points of units left and enemy still had 2 warrior squads (1 with teleporting necron lord). He teleported directly behind me, shot up about 90% of my remaining stealers. My broodlord then charged him, killed 1 warrior, enemy lost combat and FAILED a LD 10 morale test, and got sweeping advanced. Then the necron guy phased out.
I LOVE MY BROODLORD!!!

My Master (I play Salamander SPace MArines) got charged by an Avatar. Turn 1 Combat: Avatr takes 1 wound, I take 2 (Adimantium mantle prevents ID), next turn, he takes 1, I take none, next turn, he takes one, next turn my Master dies, but my 5 terminators and Command sqaud are still around...

[Hyper Kinetic]

I will make ~50% of all 6+ Inv saves with Warp Field.
I will make 1 or two saves over an entire turn with Gaunts/Stealers.
I will lose an MC in the first two turns (actually, this did not happen in my last game, yay! It may be my playing style or just focussed fire)
I will do brilliantly in the first 3 rounds, and end up losing in the 5th/6th.
I can not rend after round 2-3.
I will not hit with a Barbed Strangler (of the 30 odd times i have shot one, only ONE has done anything at all).

My friend has a guy with a missile launcher. He will hit with ~50% of frag shots, but has done nothing with all but one Krak shot. This Krak shot happened to be directed at my untouched Monolith and destroyed it.

[commandervolfost]

ON the very last turn, I blow up my friend's leman russ destroyer with three sixes. Read 'em. THREE SIXES!

[The Tomato]

Well, there is the eldar war walker who constantly stand knee deep in genestealers without being able to do anything but getting beaten from here to Happaranda without actually dying.

And my Hormagaunt "Fluffy, the alien that only loves" who wade in Blood from independent characters but seem to be unable to survive a single hit from a flashlight.

My gargoyles who deep strikes in turn 2 into some tank and dies.

and the Berzerkerpeople (I'm not sure what they are called) from Blood angles who never prevail in close combat.

Still, no worries?
