Deployment

I combat squad out one of my strike squads and hide it in the building to the left that I chose as my objective. I stick the pally squad with Draigo and the Librarian in the Crusader and chose to roll on turn 1. He Deploys the rhino with the 9 wolf guard and rune priest next to the building he chose as his objective in the upper right. I give the Dreadknight and the Pally squad counter attack with grand strategy. He steals initiative. I forget my servo skull.
Initial thoughts
Ok I need to stay away from his long fangs, he will be denied 1 turn of shooting but thats all and they can tear through my rhino. I intend to move up my left flank and cut off the centre of the board. The Dread knight can get to a supporting position fast with the teleport shunt. I need to deal with his Rune Priest fast as I rely on my psychic abilities to leverage the pallys and other parts of the army as well.
Space Wolves Turn 1

He comes on with his army, keeping bunched near his objective building, the long fangs spread out on my right and board center. The black squad is his proxy long fangs with 2 lascannons. He backs his deployed rhino up.
Grey Knights Turn 1

I roll onto the board, I come in on the left flank as planned, I park the blue rhino (this one is combat squaded and has a hammer and 2 psycannons in it) sideways. Then I bring the crusader right up behind. The orange rhino and Dreadknight go behind the building. The blue rhino pops smoke.
Space Wolves Turn 2

He shuffles his rhino's a little bit and opens up shooting. I get off shrouding and ignore both squads of long fangs and the land raider lascannons into my crusader and rhino with 3+ cover saves. He does take a pot shot with one missle at the strike squad on my objective but I go to ground and pass that to. His priest gets off living lightning and hits my dreadknight, doing 1 wound.
Grey Knights Turn 2

I move up again, bringing the land raider crusader up and popping smoke, the orange rhino follows as well as the dreadknight. The blue rhino rakes cover behind the hill as it swings around to deal with long fangs and possibly flank his rhinos. I move the strike squad on foot out of line of sight. The land raider pops smoke, as well as the orange rhino.
Space Wolves Turn 3

He moves up his rhinos a litte bit and pops smoke on the first one with the wolf lord and wolf priest. I cast shrouding and he unloads his long fangs into both rhino's and the land raider into my crusader. My librarian then proceeds to block living lightning.
Grey Knights Turn 3

I decide to push the pace. I run both the crusader and orange rhino up right into his face blocking his movement. I also shunt move the dread knight inbetween his long fang squad in the middle and his land raider allowing me to charge either next turn. The Blue rhino moves up to mid field to start shooting. My shooting phase sees the strike squad and the dread knight kill 3 long fangs who proceed to break and run of the board. Meltagun and assault cannons fail to do anything to the land raider, and I shake the rhino with the wolf guard.
Space Wolves Turn 4

He moves his rune priest squad the the building to get beside my rhino. The long fangs were 7 inches from the dreadknight and regroup. The right long fangs shoot and fail to harm the rhino while the middle long fangs do not wound the dreadknight who's 5+ stops a lascannon. I block living lightning.
Grey Knights Turn 4

I cast quicksilver and jump the paladins out of the crusader. The dreadknight jumps over to the intact long fang squad. I shoot a godly amount of fire into the wolf lord's rhino, and do nothing but immobilize it and knock of weapons. The blue rhino's squad fails to wound the hurt long fang squad while the dreadknight's shooting can't get through his armour. I then assault in, dreadknight into long fangs, and paladins into the rhino. I explode the rhino and take out one of his guys, and the dreadknight kills three long fangs, after which he rolls 1, 1, for leadership.
Space Wolves Turn 5

He moves a little and goes to shooting. His long fangs not engaged imobilise my rhino, while his land raider does the same thing to mine. His living lightning shakes the orange rhino and rips a storm bolter off it. He assaults my pallys as I cast Sanctuary. The combat is brutal I lose 1 paladin with MC psycannons due to poor saves and a lot of power weapon attacks as I wipe the wolf guard. Draigo kills the wolf lord with a force weapon and take a wound from the lords 5 attacks. The wolf priest dies from no retreat saves. My dreadknight then finishes off his long fangs and moves towards the middle group.
Grey Knights Turn 5

I cast quicksilver again and begin. I disembark the orange rhino, and with 8 inches manage to surround the rune priest rhino except the front. The pallies run up to the land raider crusader as does the dreadknight. My shooting phase sees the blue rhino actually repair itself while the strike squad inside kills off the last long fang squad. I shoot the melta and assault cannon into his land raider and do nothing to it, while the right strike squad shakes the crap out of the rhino. I assault in, the strike squad on the rhino and the paladins and dreadknight into the land raider. I explode the land raider and only wreck the rhino. This wipes the squad as it cannot disembark because I was covering all the doors.
Space Wolves Turn 6

All he has left is the Wolf Guard and Logan, who assualt the Paladins as he triggers both preferred enemy and his +1 attack ability. Some amazing saves from him and some not so great saves from me see my librarian die, all the non-thunder shield wolf guard die, a wound on Draigo and Logan. The result is a draw.
Grey Knights Turn 6

I embark the right squad back into the rhino and move to capture the objective, and then I just run my dreadknight to join the combat. I take out everything but his thunder hammer storm shield wolf guard. The game ends here.
Final Thoughts
Ok this game went according to plan for me. That paladin/Draigo/Librarian Squad can take pretty much anything out. They never got a charge off against infantry the entire game due to me not being able to pen his vehicles. This had a lot to due with bad rolls on my part as I did pen the rhino about 6 times and did nothing but stun and immobilize it. He was to timid with is termies and kept Logan hidden for to long, he should have charged with him the same time he charged the wolf lord into the pally's that would have done a tonne of damage to me. The vehicle movement I am proud of as I never took a shot to a vehicle without a coversave until I was in a position where it didn't matter. This is a luck army I run no question as a few bad dice have me hooped.

I'd suggest either requesting mods to limit these linkreps or at least make people put up some content teasers for them.
