** The Super-heavy units in the mass-combat expansion ''Apocalypse''. They'll often take out entire squads if they explode, even if the squad(s) in question wasn't even in close combat with it. [[HumongousMecha Titans]] have a special rule called "reactor meltdown" which causes them to explode with an even bigger blast that's also strength D (auto wound or penetrating hit on anything in range). An exploding Titan can take every unit on the board with it!

** There is also an ability for the Imperial Guard in the upcoming ''Apocalypse'' books called "Fire on my coordinates!" Any Imperial Guard soldier with a radio can roll for a leadership test. If he succeeds, an orbital bombardment is dropped right on top of his own position -- assuredly killing himself (and his squad) along with any nearby enemies in the process. For the Imperial Guard -- who are renowned for their ability to stoically take massive casualties -- this is simply a ''badass'' way to go.
** The larger ships in ''TabletopGame/BattlefleetGothic'' have a chance of opening a portal to hell when their reactors blow, sucking everything nearby in along with it.
*** Tyranids are so [[TheDreaded horrifically terrifying]] that ships can attempt to do this ''on purpose'' if the get boarded by them.

** After losing one of his two hearts, Space Wolf character Lukas the Trickster had it replaced with a stasis bomb. If he's ever killed in combat, there's a chance his opponent will be trapped in a stasis field with him for eternity. Taken UpToEleven in that Lukas's stasis bomb can one-shot an [[HumongousMecha Imperator Titan]]!
** Tends to be averted by the Eldar, who see this tactic as an act of barbaric cowardice. They also dislike it because they're already on the verge of extinction themselves, even though they believe that their racial demise will awaken the death god Ynnead, who will destroy Chaos forever and play this trope straight.
** The Grey Knight codex gives us the Brotherhood Champion, an exemplary swordsman of the Chapter capable of going toe to toe with the best fighters of chaos and standing a decent chance of winning. But even when killed, he draws upon all his psychic might and delivers a mutual deathstroke to his foe. This has a fifty-fifty chance of succeeding, and it kills anything, even [[MadeOfIron Eternal Warriors]] and PhysicalGods.
