The battle lasted three turns before the store closed. The mission was Annihilation and deployment Dawn of War. I won the dice roll and deployed one troop on either end of the board with the hq on my right. The sisters deployed their hq, troops and rhino on their right corner.

I only listed the units that made it onto the table.

2x Infantry Platoon - 4x Flamer, 2x Plasma, 2x Autocannon
2x Hellhound - Smoke
3x Veterans - 3x Melta
1x Lemon Russ Battle Tank

2x Sisters - 8x Bolters, 2x Melta
Rhino

2x Immolator

Turn 1
No one moved and only two casualties on each side.

Turn 2
IG Reserves - 2x Hellhounds
The hellhounds advanced up my left side and threw smoke. One autocannon on my right caused the immolator to be shaken and the other repositioned. The squads on the left fired into a sisters' squad.

Sister Reserves - Exorcist, Immolator, Storm Troopers, Repentia
The Repentia mounted the Rhino and advanced. The stormies came up the middle of the table in the immolator. Both sisters' squads held position and broke one of my left infantry squads. The Exorcist positioned in the corner but missed.

Turn 3
IG Reserves - 3x Veterans, Leman Russ Battle Tank
One of the veteran squads managed to expertly position itself three inches from the exorcist, between the vehicle, a sisters' squad and the canoness. The other two were off target into terrain, taking one casualty each, but near the immolator. Unfortunately, the vets on the exorcist rolled 4 and 2 for penetration, doing nothing. The other vets managed to destroy the immolator.

The LRBT advanced on the left but didn't fire. The hellhounds advanced again and killed five sisters. Both troops fired on separate sisters' squads. The three remaining models in the broken squad rallied due to iron discipline.

Sister Reserves - Immolator
The new immolator tried to enter the veteran's terrain but was immobilized. However recently dropped troops fit nicely under a flamer template and were wiped out. The other two vets were destroyed by the canoness, sisters' squad and stormtroopers.

The rhino tanked shocked the remaining infantry squad and the autocannon died ingloriously in its path. The repentia poured out and assaulted the squad causing them to break with four models left.

One advancing sisters' squad destroyed the weapon on a hellhound with their two meltaguns. The exorcist caused the other to explode.


Conclusion

Kill Points (4 - 1)

My platoon and hq on the right flank didn't do very much. I could have used my hq with two squads failing morale checks. I should have only moved my LRBT six inches and fired the first turn.

It felt like I was handing out candy kill points with my veteran squads and hellhounds. Even if one squad killed an immolator, it didn't earn its points back. The two hellhounds only killed five sisters before being disabled. On top of that, my platoon was taking a beating. Compare that to two half strength sisters squads and a destroyed immolator.
