Yes, you read right. Greatest Failures, stupid deaths and foolish actions are all welcome here. I myself have several failures in my group which are posted on some of the other topics but here is one that is new.

My group was doing an Exterminatus mission where they had to find the enemy base and put a sensor there so the fleet could bomb the base. The leader of the group watches too many Vietnam war movies and plays too much Call of Duty so he expected a small wave of bomber, nothing Space Marines can't handle. He thought that the group could weather the exterminatus and leave after it. He was sorely surprised when lance strikes, barrage bombs and gas hit his position. Nobody survived after that.

In our first mission, a player in my group (Iron Hand Techmarine), shot 3 bolts with his bolter, jammed, and failed to un-jammed it three times in a row. It was pretty hilarious.

Latter in the same mission, the kill team engaged in close quarter a Broodlord held "captive" for study in a bunker. The Dark Angel devastator proceed to launch a flash grenade (can't remember the name, it's the one that can even blind space marines in power armour), failed admirably and flashed everybody except the Broodlord ... Good thing the techmarine got his s**t together and kick the genestealer's ass

Seems like he upset the machine spirits of his bolter...

"And flashed everybody" Oh god ...

Now, they call it the "Never-again-grenade"

Our devastator was arrogant with an "i never miss" attitude using fate points to reroll missed shots that weren't important. We were on a RT ship charging to the bridge. The one shot he missed with his missile launcher? when he was aiming for the wall.

On the bridge the librarian was fighting the RT captain and managed to get disarmed so badly the captain got his force-sword.

I guess my question here is: how is the RT wielding a blade built for a Space Marine?

I think Astartes weapons (melee) are just one class "heavier" than their human counterpart : an Astartes force-sword should do fine as a two-handed sword for a human.

Might be wrong, but I've always seen that this way !

The term of money. Music to my ears...

Wait a minute, this isn't Rogue Trader.

He just tossed it away after stealing it. Just kinda ground salt into the wound.

That would have been awkward... The KT standing with the assasin watching the poor dignitary as he dies.

Nowhere near as awkward as the debreifing afterwards.

I meant to do that! while using my psy powers I read his mind and discovered he was a commie traitor!- err i mean a heretic/ mutant/ possessed/ alpha legion operative/ all of the above.

After playing paranoia for a while you learn how to weasel your way out of situations like this...
