Blood Angels vs Chaos Daemons - 1600 Points - (June 8th 2012)
Second Game of the night, we only had 1.5 hours to run this game so I decided to play more aggressively to speed up the game and give that tactic a shot. I played the same guy last week and he beat me that game, so it was time for revenge.Here are the lists:
Grey Knights
1 Gunship
1 Land Raider
1 Vindicator
1 Dreadnaught
5 Death Company
5 Death Company, with Chaplin in the Land Raider

We decided on Annihilation and pitch battle to speed things along. I won the roll and let him go first.
Daemons preferred wave was the 20 Bloodletters, Skulltaker, Bloodcrushers and 3 Flamers with the second wave being the Princes and 10 Bloodletters, and 3 more Flamers.
Follow the break for rest of the battle report!
Turn 1
Blood AngelsHe moved up all his units getting ready to engage my Daemons.
Daemons
I rolled a two and got my second wave (this ended up working out really well). I decided you only live once and I went full on aggressive with my Deepstriking. I put my flamers behind his death company and Astorath, my Prince behind his tactical squad and my other Prince behind his Gunship.
All of my deep strikes got a direct hit. You can see were this is going, I use Breath of Chaos from the Flamers on his Death Company and killed all of them but Astorath. I then use Breath of Chaos and Bolt of Tzeentch on his Tactical squad and killed 6 out of the 10. I then use Bolt of Tzeentch on his Gunship and blew it up, and rolled a 6 on the Dreadnaught causing a Glancing hit and stunned it.

Turn 2
Blood AngelsHe shot at my Daemon Prince with his 4 Remaining Marines, he moved his Vindicator up and templated my Bloodletters but I rolled amazingly and only 2 died. He then flew Astorath over to my Prince and after some shooting assaulted it. In combat the Prince and Astorath managed to kill each other. He also took his Death Company out of the LR and shot down my Flamers with help from the LR.Daemons
I rolled reserves and everything came in except Skulltaker's group, I plunked everything in the middle of the board and had no mishaps. I then flew my Daemon Prince over behind the stunned Dread and blew it up with Bolt of Tzeentch. I charged the vindicator with my Bloodletters and destroyed its weapon and immobilized it. I also breath of Chaos/Bolt of Tzeentch the land raider with my Flamers and destroyed its twin linked lascannon and one heavy flamer weapon.

I got my reserves roll for the Bloodcrushers and Skulltaker/Bloodletters, I put them in the middle of the board, I also assaulted his Death Company with my unit of 10 Bloodletters. And assaulted his vindicator again, this I managed to blow it up. In combat with his Death company I killed all of his death company and lost a few Bloodletters and my Flamer lived, along with his Chaplin. I moved my Daemon Prince over closer to assault his LR.

Game over - Final Score, Daemons 7, Blood Angels 3
I had a lot of really lucky rolls, I mean really lucky on turn 1 which basically won me the game.
Blood Angels
He got really unlucky on turn 1 and I managed to kill half his army and I made 90% of the saves I needed to make it. Overall the game could have gone either way, if I misshaped at all on turn 1 it would have been over.
This was a fun game, (probably more so for me) but it got to the point were we would both just laugh because he knew my rolls were going to be amazing. But we both had good laughs and no one was mad at anyone.
The all star for the Daemons I would say was Daemon Prince on the far left side, that blew up the Gunship, the Dreadnaught, and took out everything on the Land Raider.
For the GK's I would say the first star was probably his LR, he survived the whole game and killed the most units.
Daemon Three Stars:
* Daemon Prince with Green sword
** 3 Flamers that killed the Death Company
*** 10 Bloodletters that killed the Vindicator
Sisters Stars:
* Land Raider
** Astorath
*** Death Company/Chaplin
Skulls reaped for the skull throne: 25
Skulltaker collected: 0
