On Saturday, at GW Berlin-Spandau, I faced with my EC army a Logan-Wing run by Frank. No pics, sorry.

The table was only 4'' x 4''. The game was annihilation and pitched battle.

Frank ran an army like this:

Logan
2 RPs
4 or 5 Terminator units of 5,
5 LFs with lascannons.

My EC army was pretty standard:

2 winged lash Princes
Greater Daemon
2 NM units in Rhinos with blastmasters
15 Termies
6 Obliterators

Frank had 1st turn, decided to start with all units at the board.
His Termies consistently tried to reach my front ranks, but they actually couldn't.

The only annoying unit to me were the LFs. In turn 1, they killed one Obliterator. But then they got lashed out into the open and decimated quickly with plasma cannons.
The biggest threat was gone.

Termies (with combi-plasmas) and Obliterators hampered the advance of the Logan Wing. However, it was sad to see that my 10 men Termie squad (with 1 pf) got wiped out in cc vs SW. Those power weapons are crap - sometimes.

At the end of the battle, when the dust cleared, I had lost one Termie unit but SW almost lost everything. Logan and one Termie unit were still there.

Death to the Followers of the false Emperor.

Good list. Mine is virtually identical though I run 2 defilers or a LR rather than Oblits (just dont feel like converting the models)

Warms my corrupted heart to see a fellow EC player stomp SW's.

Thanks.
The Oblits did a great job stopping the advance of the Wolves.

ouch poor puppies

Sounds like it would have been an awesome battle to read a report about. Loganwing can be a pretty scary army, so it would have been very cool to read a detailed report describing how the game went and how an older codex beat it so badly. Detailed army lists with equipment loadouts are nice too; especially for stuff like wolf guard who can have very varied stuff.

I appreciate the AAR (After Action Report), but no turn by turn details makes me a sad panda.

lol don't be such a sad panda
you know it's hard to recall dreams

Dreams, no. Lol.
Recently, I had two games with my EC vs. SW and the SW lost badly in both games - Dark Bjoern (1st game) can report about this.

Sweet! Please consider me as clamoring for reports and pictures!

Loganwing should suffer against lash. It's all walking and just begging to be bunched up for plasma cannon shots.

Some more details.

SW deployed LF in a building at a corner, note that the board was only 4'x4' since the other part was used by Space Hulk game.
The Termies, I think, 5 units of 5 were deployed randomly, at least to me.

I deployed the two Rhinos as close as possible to the LF, 24'' away, and the lash Princes behind. The NM units were deployed outside of the transports. Obliterators were deployed at an elevated position and in cover, Termies were in front, in the center.

First turn, the Termies moved forward. LFs targeted the Obliterators killing one. This was the only casualty.
In return, I moved the Rhinos 12'' forward with the lash Princes behind. The rest of the army stayed put. One lash got through, one blocked by RP. The LFs were misled moving out of the building into the open. Plasma cannons decimated them quickly. This was already the game breaker for me.

SW constantly tried to reach my front ranks. Once, Logan and his unit got lashed, moving back into the building the LFs were deployed. I admit that the lash didn't go through very often; this 4+ denial given by the RPs is rather annoying if you have to rely on the lash.

The Termies with th/ss got close, decimated and charged by the 10 Termies, one power fist only (WYSIWYG). It was sad to see that my Termies did almost nothing while the SW Termies came on top. These guys were the left in the open, decimated further, and the last one got killed by the GD showing up in the meanwhile. This was the only unit I lost during the game.

The rest was shooting, plasma cannons and combi-plasma did a great job to stop the SW Termies. It was a sad picture, SW had only Logan and his squad left. Poor SW.

Cool, thanks! Yeah, the success or failure of the hood/runic weapon 4+, and its timing, is a big factor in this matchup.

Actually, the lash came through about 3 or 4 times in 5 rounds, casted by 2 Princes each round.
Nevertheless, it was enough - monkey wrench in the works.
