This should be a fun thread. Whats the most painful moment you've had in a game of Warmahordes?
Here's mine: I rolled 1, 1, 3, 1 on a decapitation roll and dealt 4 damage. I was (am) so salty about it.

Ol'Rowdy counter charges a legionnaire. Put's him in charge range of a Warlord. Neph Soldier is already in place to trigger flank. Rolling 5d6 decap damage. Needs anything but double ones to hit. Misses. I ask could it be rolled out as it was a casual game. The opponent agrees. Rolls 10 damage over armor to do 20 damage in total. Opponent repeals his agreement. Rowdy takes a retaliatory strike against the warlord that the opponent has ruled did not hit Rowdy in the first place. Next turn as Rowdy was not engaged and was able to walk away to go for my caster with dice'd up striker 2. Striker and Rowdy were not able to Kill Bethayne, but after that I did hit a boosted disintegration on Styker and proceeded to miss 3 back strike weapon master attacks and 2 boosted attack rolls from Belphagor. Stryker lived on 4 boxes. Worst dice game I've ever played in my life.

Playing Nemo3, I feat, Dynamo takes his first shot at colossal needing anything but snake eyes to hit, roll snake eyes. Luckily Dynamo's bond gives rerolls to attack rolls with Nemo. Reroll both dice, roll snake eyes again.
Two weeks ago vs Gunnbjorn. Gunnbjorn feats. Send in Lightning shrouded Stormclad with four focus into Mountain King at straight dice. The charge does 8 damage. The fist, at dice minus 5, does nothing. Miss second sword swing. Third swing does 4 damage. Last swing I roll triple 1's. A Charge that should have done in excess of 30 damage did 14. This series of attacks essentially lost the game.
At Lock and Load Masters round 2, playing Haley2 into Harkevich. Top of 3, move Haley up, forget to feat (SRSLY?!?) and leave Haley in charge range of four Khador heavies. It had been years and years since I'd forgotten to feat in one of the biggest events of the year.

Painful? None, really. I come from the background of GW games, so I was quite used to the game RNG mechanisms kicking me in the groin for no reason now and again. Compared to that, any dice antics in WM&H are like a delicate caress.

Back in mk2 i feated and delivered a massive alpha strike only to have my opponent roll an absurd amount of toughs. Seriously like, over more than 20 tough checks i think my opponent only failed twice.
thats the one and only time i was ever mauled by RNG so badly i conceded due to tilt because my opponent high rolled their counter turn and did incredible damage

Every every ecru. .....EVERY TIME
Every time i put on disproportionate amount of reasorces into killing one thing and that was my entire plan for the turn and i leave it on one box left instead. Like it galena too often.

I charged in Morghoul2 but then got counter charged by a rattled who in turn was counter charged by a Bronzeback. The rattled nearly killed morghy, the Bronzeback crippled it body, Morghoul2 takes a free strike and it rolls double 6s to hit killing him.

This was back in MKII, and I was piloting eSkarre into Feora1. It was late game, I had feated and put myself in a position that she couldn't escape from me. Next turn I charged on the assassination, using life trader to deal damage through her camp.
I got down to my last bought attack, and she we both had a single life left. At which point, we went deep into the weeds to realize that my damage would be applied before I could roll the damage, even though I was only taking it because it was the damage resolution phase.
I felt salty and betrayed for some reason.

Took a Charger shot at Thorn in Cover bottom of turn 1, rolled the 11 to hit on 3 dice, rolled 5,6,6 for damage taking out out Thorns movement, my opponent concedes the game... pretty awkward

In a Protectorate Mirror Match, my Kreoss2 Exemplar spam v Harbinger Exemplar spam, my fully-loaded Gravus on Feat Turn charged the opponent's Gravus. I left him ON HIS HORSE with 4 boxes.
To be clear, that's 5 auto-hitting weapon master attacks at DICE -6 into the same target that netted 6 total damage. The charge attack did 0. Average dice would have been around 25 total damage?
The rest of my feat turn was similarly miserable, but that event stands out clearly.

My game, not my pain. Playing Sorscha2 into Nemo1 I think (it was mkii). anyway, Thunderhead walks up and pulses on literally an entire unit of WGI. All ten guys, + all 3 rockets + Officer and Flag. Joe got caught in the pulse too. 16 tough rolls later, I've lost only two regular WG and 1 rocket.

I remember a tournament game in mk2, I was playing Naaresh. My opponent was quite new, and hadn’t contested scenario at all on turn 2, which meant on turn 3 I’d have been able to hit the clock straight away and get the scenario win. I don’t think either of us had even killed anything.
However, end of her second turn, some random model with a ranged weapon with continuous fire (possibly a holy zealot?) happens to be in range of Naaresh. My opponent is like ‘eh, may as well make the attack’. Hits, rolls a 6 and a 5 for damage, and leaves him on fire. Start of my turn, fire doesn’t go out, box cars does the exact amount of damage required, Naaresh fails his tough check.

That would probably be my first face off with scaverous, playing eThags. After we deployed I saw the man himself and his little army off in the distance with a deathjack lumbering a tad more forward. Don't know who went first but as Thags was trying to formulate a plan with his little lizardbrain, stretching his wings for a bit, he had the audacity the step up and a bit to the side by about four inches, which was apparently exactely what they were all waiting for cause while my opponent told me he was going for a casterkill and I might want to rethink that, I told him no "just show me", and mr.S was bobbing around on his ass clutching his knees to his belly, cackeling in anticipation with murderous intent on his face, sending one of his robotic chickens up in my face when Thags suddenly shifted position facing the wrong way, and my army made way for a storming Deathjack that seemed to stand way off and suddenly teleported right into position to give Thagrosh a really, rough, backmassage.

Compared to that, any dice antics in WM&H are like a delicate caress. Can I ask for your best 40k story then? I didn't care that much about wh40k but in Warhammer it definitely involved one of my most hated mechanics in the game - Ld tests and psychology (aka toss a coin to see if you lose the entire unit or not). I've got a few stories from both sides of the table - a destroyed unit, causing others in the vicinity to panic and flee, they flee through frindlies, panicking them in turn and then failing to rally and going off the table... Any game which had such an event in the opening turns was bound to be a nonsensical one-sided affair. Thank you, PP for killing the CMD tests in mk3! Special mention goes to 6th edition Comet of Cassandora covering most of the table by turn 6 ;]
