Ok, Lets get this straight. I have models better than the one I am talking about, its just that this one particular model is surprisingly good for what it is. He is a Chaos Aspiring Champion (A CSM squad leader) who is always Mark of Nurgle and has a power fist and a Gift of mutation (free boon roll). This would normally equal a pretty good squad leader. Normally. But this god amongst slightly weaker gods is better than that. Much better.

Story time. This Champion and his nine men are assaulted by a bloodthirster at the start of a game. Needless to say I was already making the funeral arrangements. He kills two men with his ranged whip attack and the rest in CQC. Then my Champion is standing there. With instant death melee attacks. And the bloodthirster does not have eternal warrior. The hard part was the to hit roll, which I just made, and the to wound was nice and simple. Then, the daemons life rested in the hands of what I think was a 5+ invun save. Which he failed.

It was pretty cool. My two opponents were in a mixed state of anger and laughter. Then the boon roll happened. I roll a six. Then I roll a six. For those who do not know, that means your model becomes a daemon prince with power armour and whatever mark they had before hand. Everyone is panicking now. Its my turn and the newly ascended daemon prince walks up to the nearby fateweaver and punches him repeatedly in the face till he dies. The rest of the game was just him and another daemon prince stomping on things like they were remaking Godzilla but with more daemons and grimdark involved.

In another game he got assaulted by a squad of five deathwing termies. The squad leader, seeing how my champion would of challenged him anyway, does it first. "so.. what boon roll did that guy get again?" The other guy asked me, most likely about to say how it would not matter any more when he meets his end by a AP3 powersword. "+1 armour save" I have to honest, I had the most smug face on at the time.

The Terime leader fails to kill the champion. The champion destroys him with the powerfist, and got an extra attack. While this was happening, my squad took two of them down and then almost all died. When the champion got back in the fight he wiped them all out on his own. Then he got assaulted by a two man ravenwing bike squad (there was three, one died) and at this point he was on his own, everyone else was dead. He killed the whole squad, got re-roll failed armour saves, and the other person just quit.

This guy has become a legend amongst my friends, and we have given him many punching-based nicknames (mephFISTon being my favourite).
Soo... anyone else got any cool stories about regular models going on killing sprees?

I have a very special guardsman. He used to operate a heavy mortar.

Used to.

Here's the scene: 2K points in 5th ED, Guard vs 'Nids. I know, I know, "Why no leafblower? Where were your Valkyries?" feth you, that's where. I was running a mix of foot blob and armoured company, and this badass found himself deployed on the front lines with nothing but a laspistol. I figure, like the rest of my guardsmen, he's a deadman once the 'Nid assault wave hits. No biggies, the tanks will carry as per usual.
This badass wasn't having any of it.
My command squad is riding in a chimera with plasma all round: four plasma guns and a pistol. stack of wounds onto a Tyranid prime, little bastard has one wound left. Figures. The guardsmen all fire, jack all wounds. Again, typical. I realise our lowly mortar crewman has't fired. He's just in range. I roll, 4,6,2. The prime goes down. Awesome. But not incredible; I've seen stuff like this before.
Time rolls on a bit, this guy's squad is all plinked away except for him and sarge. They're standing against the remainder of the swarm with the plas command and a couple of tanks left. Suddenly Carnifex. Plas squad open up, lose two guys to overheat but drop the tyrant to two wounds. Russ opens up, one more. These guys are it, and sarge is out. I roll again.

The 'Fex drops to the laspistol like a bitch. Corporal Badass simply holsters his pistol as the last major threat to the guard dies and the Russes start cleaning up the gribblies.

Bot of his kills were within 12": i.e, close enough for a next turn charge. Both needed 6s to wound with a lasgun, both were MCs, and both were done alone.

I'd promote him, but the blob needs his killing power

Damn son, That is one cool guardsman, probably thought it was some high stakes hunting trip.

Nice work.

I played ages ago with the new 40k starter set. My bro chaos n me da. Plus some old models thrown in to make up points n what not.
So we started eventually it was my 2 squad's verses his entire army I know bad dice rolls.
Well I sent my basic sm squad in but half of them had plasma n guess what happened ? My whole sqaud died cos of the plasma overheat rule. So it was my 5 man termy versus 20 cultists 10 space marines n a cahos dreadnought at this stage my bro is going mad cos he tinks hes won n im almost in tears lol.
What happened next was stupid n I mean stupid he charged everytink at me apart from his dreadnought. My sqaud took one casualty but wiped everytink out.
At this stage im bouncing off the walls, my bro is distressed. He chRged his dreadnought it wiped out 3 more termy buts it done to one hp left. My turn so I rolled to hit just got it. N then to penetrate n I managed to it. Me n my bro are stunned this one only termy survived an ultimate carnage between sm n csm n alives ?! He looks at me says ' you beta get a chaplain cos theres heresy in him' course this had me n my bro in stitches. A really game but I havnt played since.

In 4th/early 5th Ed, I had a Terminator who halted an Ork Stompa single headedly for 2 turns.... Literally blocking his path holding up his powerfist screaming "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!"

Survived 2 shooting phases, 2 Assault Phases, and 2 Movement Phases (Death or Glory or I get squished). He ripped off the Stompa's legs and arm and 1 structure point before dying.

I then strapped a chainsword under his powerfist, covered him in random shiny things, and put half a whirlwind missile launcher on his back.

Will post a pic of this legend later
