Grey Knights VS Chaos Daemons - 2000 Points - (January 12th, 2013)
Its been a while! I have been starting my Eldar army and have been playing with them the last month or so but with Christmas season and everything else I did not have much time to post. I am back for my first post of the new year and oddly enough its a Daemons again but I will have a Eldar post coming soon.
I went to my buddies to play a few games and we started off with Daemons vs GK, I brought an all Khorne list because that had the best chance of doing anything against the GK. He used a different type of list then he normally does and it was very terminator heavy with some Paladins thrown in there, I think this is the smallest list I have ever seen him field.
Here are the lists:
Grey Knights:
Librarian
10 Terminators - Thunderhammers/Halbreds (reserves)
5 Paladins - Apothecary
Rhino
5 man Strike Squad
Land Raider - Lascannon, Multi Melta
Dreadnought (reserves, on the stormraven)
Stormraven
Chaos Daemons:
Bloodthirster - Blessing of the Blood God, Unholy Might
Skulltaker
3x Bloodcrushers - Fury of Khorne, Icon
3x Bloodcrushers - Fury of Khorne
8x Bloodletter - Fury of Khorne
8x Bloodletter - Fury of Khorne
8x Bloodletter - Fury of Khorne
6x Flesh Hounds - Karanak, Fury of Khorne
Daemon Prince - Wings, Iron Hide, Unholy Might, Mark of Khorne, Blessing of the Blood God, Death Strike
Daemon Prince - Wings, Iron Hide, Unholy Might, Mark of Khorne, Blessing of the Blood God, Death Strike

Daemons
Reserves: The last two units of Bloodletters came in, Skulltaker and his unit landed near the Icon in the middle and the other unit landed behind the building in his deployment zone on the left.

The Stormraven was wrecked and the Rhino was also wrecked, 4 of the Flesh Hounds died but they also killed a couple of the Strikesquads. The Princes combined killed 4 terminators and only lost 1 wound, they lost combat by 3 and failed their leadership, they managed to get away but ran off the board.
With only 3 of the Strikesquad left that were able to claim objectives and 4 Paladins he called the game, I still had all my units except the Bloodthirster.

Game over - Final Score: Daemons Win
It was a tough game for the Grey Knights, also my friend is never really uses Paladins and made this list more to see what would happen. The Blessing of the Blood God really saved my butt against all his force weapons and that is what left me kill all his terminators. Not really a true measure of his Grey Knights.The Three Stars:
Daemon Three Stars:
* Bloodthirster
** Prince
*** Prince
Grey Knights Stars:
* Paladins
** Stormraven
*** Strikesquad
