Game 2 of the day, this time, some Objectives. Fighting Chaos Marines this time.

Brian's(?) CSM
Slaanesh Lord w/ Blissgiver and jumppack
Defiler
Land Raider
Khorne Berzerkers
2 squads of Melta CSM, with rhinos
4 Obliterators
Plasma Chosen (5)

Mission: Hold more objectives than your opponent, easy and simple.
The Objectives must be placed at least 14" away from each board edge, each player gets to place 2.

Victory Conditions:
Massacre: Hold 4 more objectives than your opponent
Major Victory: Hold 2 or 3 more objectives than your opponent
Minor Victory: Hold 1 more objective than your opponent

Anyway, I lose the roll off, he lets me go first.

My Deployment:

Combined Infantry Squads squats near the objective, everything else is spread out. Plasmavets deploy close to the other objective. Ratlings will infiltrate at the trees on the right.

His Deployment:

He also deploys his Oblits down near the bottom objective.

Turn 1: IG
Movement: I move the Ratlings onto the objective near his oblits, my chimeras and tanks roll forward, and my blob squad takes the objective. My Plasmavets also take my objective.
Shooting:
Honestly, very underwhelming. I Immobilize a rhino. My Manticore whiffed against his LR, and my Bassie missed the open squad of Khorne Berzerkers. My tanks take potshots at the oblits, they take a wound or two.

Turn 1: CSM
Movement: He moves a rhino into cover, his Zerkers enter the LR, and the LR moves forward. Also moves lord onto his truck objective.
Shooting: He immobilizes my melta chimera, then blows it up. A few vets die. His Obliterator also fires a lascannon at a Russ, wrecking it.

End of Turn 1:
IG: 2
CSM:0

Turn 2: IG
Marbo and the Vendetta arrive from reserves. Marbo appears near the chaos lord. The Vendetta comes behind the Defiler.
Movement: My meltavets move in, so they can blast the LR.

Shooting: My ratlings kill an obliterator, but my meltavets AND vendetta whiff against their respective targets, vendetta is about to die. Marbo also blows away the Blissgiver lord.


Turn 2: CSM

Movement: His LR comes closer to my front lines, his CSM fron the immobilized rhino move to my vendetta.
His chosen come in from reserve.
A rhino moves toward the far objective.
Shooting:

Defiler blows up my Vendetta, CSM run to my vets.

End of Turn 2:
IG: 2
CSM: 0

Didn't take pics at this point, pressed for time.
Pretty much, his LR tank-shocked my blob squad off the board, I knew I was going to lose then.

At the end of the game, the score was
IG:1
CSM:3

He gets a major victory. I get a lesson to never take a blob squad unless I have a commissar.

Stay tuned for game 3 against some mother elfdar!
