Everyone must have a tale or two from playing whatever game floats your boat, this one was whilst playing Warhammer (some edition after 3rd).

6 of us (old school friends) used to meet up a few times a year to get pissed and play some games in a mini 'tournament'.
One of the lads had spent months building and painting his new army, a skeleton hoard constructed entirely from the new skeleton army box sets (you got infantry, chariots and cavalry I think) and he was very proud.
In the first game he is playing against one of the lads using a dwarf army. It comes to a crucial fear test so Mark, the dwarf player, pulls out his lucky dice. Its about 3 inchs square and is solid metal, he actually made this thing at school and it was banned from everyone of our mothers kitchen tables because of the weight of the thing.
Mark says 'got to make this count' and flicks this massive cube in the air with some force, it hits the table with an incredible amount of back spin and tears through the newly built plastic skeleton hoard like a goblin fanatic. When the dust has settled there are hundreds of bits of broken skeleton and a deafly silence.
Mark says 'lets call it a draw'
 
Excellent story, just the kind of silly I love !

This reminds me of a lad I was playing with when we were 14. He had that tyrannid prince which was his pride paint-wise (it was apinted with a size 5 brush and covered in a massive dose of gloss...) and which had been built without any pin whatsoever. Suffice to say that the thing fell a couple of times on the board and broke every time. I wouldn't laught at him at the time because I didn't pin my models either and I had that eldar war walker that kept crumbling every game we played...
Anyway, once, he arrived with a smile of pride on his face and told me "now it is unbreakable ! I pinned it last week end !" and just to show me how strong the model was, he dropped it on the board...
All the pins stayed in place, the sword and legs though didn't stand the impact and broke instead...
 
Why do my las cannons never do anything? I always roll a 1 to hit or to wound. Strange, the gods of chance. My mate made a Nurgle predator with las cannons, and when heating it to dry the paint the las cannons melted. To be fair, they did look quite cool, sort of like worm-lasers or something. However, they never missed, even though they were all wonky and stuff.
