Many of us have assumed that a unit we owned was somehow invincible. This is seldom true. Jay Arnold tells a story about playing 40K, explaining the bits that those of us unfamiliar with the game.

"Playing 2nd edition Warhammer 40,000 with my Tyranids (aliens like in the movie "Aliens") vs. an Eldar (think Space Elves) force. The Eldar player had a brand new Warp Spider unit he was awfully proud of. At the time, Warp Spiders could warp into an area, shoot with a vicious, but short-ranged attack, and then warp out after shooting.

Well, he warped in front of my prime hand-to-to hand combat unit, the Genestealers, shot, didn't hit any of my guys and then stayed there, easily within charge range of my Genestealers.

He finished his shooting, did his psychic phase and declared he was done with his turn.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

He replied in the affirmative.

My turn. I declared charges. "The Genestealers charge into the Warp Spiders."

His jaw dropped.

The Genestealers, being basically Cuisinarts on legs, did what they do best. After the slaughter was complete, he lost interest in the game and sulked for the rest of the evening."
