Back in the day, before apocolypse. In the prior edition of 40K I had an epic brawl of a game.
6000 pts of Iron Warriors vs 6000 pts of Blood Angels. 2 force org's a piece. Iron Warriors conquered! The main reason, I brought 2 defilers, 2 vindicators (1 per force org) and 2 basilisks, and pulled the epic move of the infiltrating Havoc Squad with 4 multi meltas because I knew I was facing down a Terminator double chaplain landraider.
I still feel I won that game on the turn 1 dice roll.
Turn 1: assault squads from infiltrate, step forward, cook the land raider stalling the terminator squad AND the death company hiding behind it. I killed 20+ blood angels with ordinance. Then leveled a bike squad with heavy bolters. He advanced, retaliating and destroying both defiliers. It was all down hill from there, basically we slaughtered each other, I pulled the win by attrition from there. Notables were a soceror turning Dante into a spawn. Mephiston going all Mephiston on the left flank and final dying to a rapid fire from a rhino squad lurkering to counter fight. And the Grey Knight Terminator squad deep striking in, and getting cooked in 1 turn.
