Brian’s List (hopefully Brian can fill out the details)
Daigo
Inquisitor
5x Paladins
3x Dreads 2x TLAC Psybolt ammo
Strike squad
2x Interceptor squads

Terrain setup was standard NOVA style with large LOS blocking in center, two pieces of area terrain in opposing table quarters, two LOS blocking hills in opposing table quarters and 2 sandbag emplacements along center of table

Mission:
Deployment – Table Quarters
Primary – Scoring units in enemy deployment zone
Secondary – Wounded Soldiers (moving objectives in non-deployment table quarters)
Tertiary – Capture & Control
We decided that wounded soldiers act as independent characters after they join units as the mission did not specify

I win the roll to go first and choose one of the table quarters with trees in it.
-I made this choice to force Brian to deploy into area terrain in his deployment zone so I could shoot him

Everything deploys behind large LOS blocking terrain as far up as possible. Archon joins incubi, Haemonculi join wych squads

Brian deploys Draigo, Inquisitor, and paladins in cover

-combat drug roll of 3, +1 Str although I forgot to roll into beginning of round two, gotta remember to do that in deployment

Brian attempts to seize but fails

DE Turn 1
Incubi and Wyches move flat out with EA for average move of 31 inches toward paladins
Rest of the army moves and fires, wounding a couple and killing one paladin. Draigo takes a DL to the face
Brian fails leadership test and falls back 2 inches, had it been 5+ they would have been off the board)

GK Turn 1
Paladins rally and move 4 through difficult terrain allowing inquisitor to move on his own
Inquisitor shoots his Psycannon and a raider with incubi and fails to do anything to it
Paladins shoot at another raider with wyches in it and immobilize it which causes it to be wrecked.
Wyches pass pinning test.

DE Turn 2
Incubi and wyches move and get out of remaining raiders to setup charge on paladins and inquisitor
Rest of army moves and shoots killing all but two paladins
Haemonculi fire liquefiers with no real success
Incubi charge into inquisitor
All three Wyches squads and Haemonculi charge paladins and link the combat with the inquisitor
Archon huskblades inquisitor to death and traps his soul, incubi can’t attack =(
Wyches kill off another paladin and put two more wounds on Draigo
Draigo & Paladins strike back killing 1 wych
DE win combat by 5, no resulting unsaved from no retreat were inflicted.
DE wrap in

GK Turn 2
Brian rolls psychic communion and fails
Reserve rolls bring 1 dread and strike squad on
Brian concedes the game

Lessons Learned:
Liquefiers on the Haemonculi suck as if the raider moves more than 6 it cannot fire, will switch them to venom blades in future
I am not sold on agonizers on the Hexatrixs in this list. Replacing them with venom blades frees up 45pts but I am not sure where to use them

I didn't realize that Venoms had a transport capacity of Razorwing

Seriously though, it sounds like Brian had some pretty crummy rolls!

LOL...I was trying to be lazy and not retype flicker field and night shields.

It was weird cause getting him to fail a save was almost impossible but passing a leadership/moral test was beyond him

Typical Grey Knight combat doctrine. See Dark Eldar, run away, quit.
