Mission was EW. 3 Objectives in No Man's land, each worth 3 points. 1 Objective in each deployment zone, worth 5 each. Secondary were Warlord, Headhunters (Kill most expensive unit), and attrition.
He got first turn
Turn 1;
He gets Invis on his spawn, used some powers / soul grinder to kill some gaunts, moves his hounds / Spawn (With Lord) up my right flank.
In return, I kill 2 hounds with my biovores. I reposition my left flank towards my real power units on my right to draw him in, and spawn 14 gaunts.
Turn 2;
He uses a Pyschic scream to kill 10 hormagaunts. His Lord/Spawn assault my termagaunts, who do 1 wound, but get wiped out in return.
I counter charge with a Melyrant and shrikes, expecting to wipe the unit. Instead I kill his Lord and 2 of the spawn. My Hive guard do 2 HP to one of the Maulerfiends, immobilzing it. I spawn 11 gaunts. Carnifex charges the soulgrinder and gets punked hard (I wiff everything!)
Turn 3;
He gets Ironarm off on his Prince, who charges my Warlord, IDing it. His hounds charge my Hive Guard, and kill 2 of them. Bellacor goes down into jump mode near the center objective.
I charge bellacor with a Carnifex, thinking I would ID him. Woops, he has EW. I do a wound to him, he does 3 to me. I spawn 11 more gaunts like a champ. I fly my HT to get out of dodge and head for his backfield, where his cultists had come in from reserves to hold his backfield 5p objective and the left most 3p. Nurglings came in near my right side 3p objective.
Turn 4;
His hounds kill my last Hiveguard who did a good job of holding on. His Prince charges my Malanthropes, along with a maulerfiend. I grasping tail the Prince, who still hits / ID my malanthrope. The maulerfiend fails to kill the other Malanthrope. I finally kill the spawn with my shrikes and move up the board with them, towards the left most objective.
Shrikes, now free from combat, move up, then charge the cultists on the left most objective. The dispatch of them easily while dancing past the immobilized maulerfiend, who has gotten all of his HP back from IWND but still can't move. LOLS. My last HT goes down from flight mode to prepare for clearing his 5p in his deployment zone, along with my rippers that just came in. I spawn 15 gaunts (still not dry!) then promptly kill 8 of them with a bad scatter from trying to hit his Cultist on his objective. My tervigon uses ESG on the soulgrinder, charges it, and takes a wound. I keep feeding gaunts into the flesh hounds.
Turn 5;
Bellacor moves up and uses smite on the remaining 3 hormagaunts that have been dancing around since turn 2. I pass my LD as I'm out of synapse. The nurglings charge and kill the gaunts on the right side 3p objective. Bellacor than charges and kills my Tervigon, who takes 5 gaunts with him. He moves the nurgle prince charges and kills my biovores to take my 5p objective. His Flesh Hounds finish off the tarpit and try to consolidate onto the center 3p objective, but fails.
On my turn my single surviving Hormagaunt passes IB like a champ, and ObSecs my 5p objective. My HT / Rippers kill his cultists on his 5p objective, and I take his 5 pointer. A few surviving gaunts bob and weave to get to the center 3 pointer, my shrikes contest the left 3 pointer from his other maulerfiend.
(picture corrupted, apparently).
We roll to go to turn 6, but don't get it (thank god). Game ends with him having 3 VP from Objectives, and me with 13. We both get Warlord, neither get Head Hunter, and he got attrition. 14-5 VPs, 1 point away from a major victory. I'm happy with it though, as I would've lost on turn 6. I get 13 Battlepoints, he gets 7. I felt I really needed to get at least the 16-4 split on my first game, but my hopes were still high as it meant I'd have a lower (read; easier) bracket to propel me into a 20-0 victory in game 2.
Then I got matched against Dark Eldar / Eldar who had just beaten a 4 FMC list that also had a Dima and 2 Exocrines in it.
