After finishing up with a few shots and drinks, I grabbed two beers to take with me back to the gaming hall. I get paired up against an Orc player for a purge the alien / maelstrom mission. I'm feeling pretty good from the bar, and offer the guy across from me a beer. He has a bunch of Jack Daniels already. We have a really fun game.

I roll terrible for myspells psychic powers powers of the hive mind. 3xHorror, Onslaught, Warp Blast. I got IWND for my WL trait. I lost the roll and went 2nd
Turn 1
He fires off his Grot Artillery and kills 8 of my 13 hormagaunts. He does some sort of boost move with his Storm Boyz to grab an objective he needs, and the model barely in range to grab the objective dies. He immobolizes several of his trukks and his Battlewagon. Orks!
I move up, ready to receive his boys (probably a better way to say that) with the majority of my units, hugging my Malanthropes. Hive guard let off a volley and destroy a truck carrying meganobz. My shrikes move up the right side towards
his stormboyz, kill 11 on the charge, then sweeping advance the rest down.
Turn 2
He immediately notices the Shrikes are serious business, and turns his artillery and looted wagon towards them. He kills off 2 of the 3. Following that, his meganobz get a charge off on the Malanthropes, and despite grasping tail, he IDs them down with 'dem powerklaws.
In return, my biovores let off a volley and wipe out one of the gretchin squads. The Hive Guard do 2 glancing hits to the looted wagon. I've lost my shrouded bubble, but everything I needed was close by. My 'Fexen and Melyrants charge in and tear the meganobs apart while the lone Shrike hits his artillery, killing enough grots to make them run and eats them on the sweeping advance.
Turn 3
He puts some dakka into my gaunts, but not a lot. His Warboss gets out with his Nobz and assaults my Warlord Melyrant. We slapfight
On my turn, I finish off his Looted Wagon with my Hive Guard. My 'Fexen come in to save my Warlord, and I kill everything but the Warboss himself, who survives with 2 wounds.
Turn 4
His large meganob unit gets out and joins the big frey. I kill his Warlord, while his Meganobz kill mine.
I glance his Battlewagon, my lone shrike kills the rest of his grots.
Turn 5
He kills a Fex with the Meganobz, while I kill his Battlewagon. He kills the rest of my gaunts and a Carnifex, but I finish his squad in the end.
By the end of the game he had a trukk left with 1 HP. I wanted to roll turn 6 up to go for a tabling, but my opponent asked to just end it so he wouldn't be too demoralized. As bad as that sounds, we were laughing, joking, and having a ton of fun with our game. I get a "Massacre" victory for 20 points.
The day is over, and I go back to my hotel for a few more drinks / food before getting some sleep.
Though I don't know it yet, I will be paired against a Tyranid player in round 4.
2 Flyrants, 2 Crones, 2 Exocrine, 2 Malanthropes, 2 Zoans, Dimachaeron, and some gaunts/rippers sprinkled in.
