This was a friendly game and the point of it was to create a photo-op featuring some of the huge based models in our collections - the game is against my room mate and we play each other regularly, nothing too serious for this one. If this were a tournament I probably would have gone with pSev/Harby or swapped on of those two for eFeora given that I was running Judicators. Most of his retribution models were painted by me (notably the Hyperion, invictors and destor thane). The lists:

High Exemplar Kreoss
* Judicator
* Vanquisher
* Hierophant
Grand Scrutator Severius
* Blessing of Vengeance
* Devout
* Judicator
Vessel of Judgement
Choir of Menoth (Leader and 5 Grunts)
Daughters of the Flame (Leader and 5 Grunts)
Exemplar Errants (Leader and 9 Grunts)

* Holy Zealot Monolith Bearer

To summarize the game:

I advanced cautiously with DW up on the errants and one of the judicators. Rhoven put Menoth's Sight onto the VoJ which luckily sniped eEiryss. After exchanging some light casualties in the first couple of turns from long range shooting, Vyros feats and Kreoss counter-feats, preventing a lot of his movement due to the knockdown. Both judicators move up aggressively and burn his KD'd army, the zealots minifeat aggresively into his right flank and zone.

The Retribution retaliate with heavy shooting onto my Colossal on the right, nearly destroying it, while his Hyperion and support forces move in and scrap the Judicator on the left. I'm able to repair my remaining Colossal and move into combat with his Hyperion and crush it with the help of the blessing of vengeance and a shot from the VoJ. Severius feats and clips both of his casters.

Another withering hail of fire takes down my second Judicator, but on my right flank the VoJ survives some heavy firepower and is left standing. I destroy his Arcantrik Force Generator and clear the troops in that zone, then run Kreoss to clip it camping max focus - dominating for 3. He's in charge range of Vyross but i'm counting on him not being able to contest the zone later.

Rahn force hammers Kreoss to the ground, then Vyros rushes in and slays him, but he's only able to contest the zone with 4 infantry models. Rhoven and his bodyguards kill two of them, the VoJ nails the third, and Severius charges into the zone to take out the last one - dominating again and Vyross is unable to contest, 6-0 CP win.
