Most memorable vortex moment: way back in the early
days of 1st Ed, I had a marine with an autocannon who
was attacked by a dreadnought. The dredd had a
lascannon so the marine was pretty much doomed. But
he ran behind a nearby vortex field and used it as
hard cover! The dredd couldn't shoot through it, and
the odds of survival from random vortex movement were
a lot higher than facing up to the dredd. The marine
survived for three rounds, peering out from behind the
vortex and shooting his AC at the dredd, before the
dredd went off in search of other prey. The vortex
never moved, and the marine lived to fight another
day!

-----> Mine was in a 5K game My chaos and a friends Orks against 2 SM
players. My Veteran chaos space marines with Aspiring champion carrying
vortex grenade and my friends Blood axe commando Kaptian also carrying
vortex grenade set up in a fortress right in front of our opponents
commander, who happened to be Marneus Calgar, a load of bikes and a
dreadnought. Very little of that group survived past the first turn with
both Calgar and the dreadnought catching Vortex grenades.
