500 pts Iron Hands (My force), allied to 500 pts Blood Angels (Anders forces)
against a guy called Nicklas and his 1000 pts of Dark Eldar.

I brought A Captain kitted out with the Emperors Wrath (s4 ap4 salvo 3/5, shred, master crafted)
a storm shield, and a thunder hammer.
He was joined to a unit of 5 Tactical marines with a Heavy Bolter.

I also brought 5 sniper scouts with a missile launcher and a Ironclad Dreadnought in a drop pod.
The Blood Angels had a 10 man Tactical Squad with a sanguinary priest in it and a missile launcher
And another priest and an assault squad, with a chaplain in it as well.
the DE had 2 Raiders, one with 5 Incubi and one with 5 Wyches and a Succubi.
2 Venoms with five kabalites, two ravagers and I think around 8 Reaver jet bikes. So lots of fast vehicles!

We rolled off and got the Relic mission (again!)
We got first turn and the Blood Angel Assault jumped straight up to the Relic and picked it up.
His Tacticals moved up into some cover and snap shotted a missile off, hitting a venom and blowing it up!
My units mostly stayed put, the Heavy bolter taking off a hull point from another venom, and sadly my snipers were out of range so they moved up a bit.

My Ironclad however dropped in perfectly behind enemy lines, firing its meltagun and two Hunter-Killer missiles into the Raider containing the Dark Eldar HQ (the succubi) and the wyches, blowing it up and killing one Wych. The Storm bolter on the Drop pod picking off another wych as well.
On the DE's turn they moved the Wych and HQ away from the Ironclad and lit it up with 3 Ravagers...Only making it lose one hull point!
The Reaver jet bikes soared over the Blood angels and caused some mayhem with their cluster caltrops.
Turn 1 started of extremely well for the Emperors chosen sons, and not so much for the Dark Eldar.
On our next turn the Ironclad moved up towards a ravager on the left flank, charged it and totally wrecked it, but failed to regenerate any hull points due to the It will not die rule Iron hands have.
The Blood Angels disregarded protecting the Relic from the Xenos filth and instead charged onward towards the enemy. My snipers tried to pick off some reaver jet bikes but their jink saves was too great to let even a single wound through.
Finally the combines firepower of the remaining Ravagers put down my Ironclad Dreadnought, after it had killed two vehicles and a wych. The drop pod was still standing though and took some amazing pot shots here and there!
The Blood Angel Tactical squad got charged by the Incubi as we failed to bring down their transport (but did kill another venom and most of the Kabalites inside it).
The Incubi however failed at what they do best (Killing anything with a good armor save...like marines)
And it ended in a stalemate. And in the next turn the Marines won and caught the fleeing Incubi and slew them all!

The Assault marines were not so lucky though, the massive firepower of the Dark Eldar whittled them down, Splinter shots and Dark lances tearing them apart bit by bit. Leaving the Relic exposed.
My Iron hands Tactical squad met a similiar fate and only my Captain was left standing
The Snipers got taken out by the reaver jet bikes

both the BA and my Iron hand tacticals rushed to try and stop it from falling into the Dark Eldars hands, but the remaining kabalites took it with some help from the wyches and their leader.
There were two kabalites left, one holding the relic.
My Captain opened up a salvo with his bolter, the Emperors wrath, killing one, alas not the carrier of the Relic. He started to make off with it as the marines frantically chased after.
As my Captain made his way around the ruin, trying to cut off the relic carrier, he got intercepted by the wyches and their leader challenged him to a duel. The lightning fast succubi struck first, but failed to get any wounds through the Captains armor. He struck back with his thunder hammer, instantly killing her and sending her minions fleeing! The flesh is weak!
We were now somewere on turn 7 or 8 I think!
The kabalite fled further away witht the Relic, trying to deny us the 3 victory points. deftly hiding from the deadly storm bolter on the drop pod (wise move!)
the last ravager tried to block my captains path and got to feel the wrath of his hammer. As the Blood Angels Tactical squad made it around the corner and opened fire on the lone kabalite, sending him to his grave (finally!).

It was an intense match, that swung in our favour early, but then it turned pretty grim when we lost the relic, but thankfully the xenos didn't get to keep it and we won on turn 8.
Really fun game, hopefully there are many more to come.
Next we are going to try our hand at Infinity though! So we'll see how that goes, I'll keep you posted!
