My only real "Gruelling deathmatch" was a 4000 point game, Chaos and Necrons against a huuuuuge swarm of 'nids. It took a good few hours to complete, even with the help of all of us trying to move the nids. My Traitor Marines and his Tesla Immortals put up a stupid amount of fire against the endless hordes, even bringing in a Heldrake and Flying Daemon Prince with a Black Mace, but we couldn't keep back the flood. There were a few really awesome moments though, like when my Plague Marines managed to stab one Flying Hive Tyrant to death with plague knives, and my Lascannon Predator got a lucky as hell shot against another Flying Hive Tyrant and caused it to crash down to the ground. Hell, even my cultists managed to hold their ground against a genestealer invasion when I rolled snake eyes for the morale test. Oh, and my friend's scarabs decided to take on a huge blod of hormagaunts(?) and even though they lost combat by 16 wounds, the final scarab managed to hold up the entire blob.
It was a really fun fight, even though we lost horribly.
