Had a game verse Primaris Ultramarines.

Girlyman.
Banner Primaris dude.
Apothecary.
Vindicare assassin.
Cato Sicarius (whom he forgot the whole game).
Primaris dreadnaught.
Repulsive.
6x Flamey Aggressors
6x Shooty Aggressors.
10x Reivers.
Not sure on what equipment he had on his units.
(Not sure on detachment but had 7 CP)

My list:

Saint Helena (Celestine)
Cannoness Katran (no upgrades; warlord)
Imagifier (which did nothing all game)
5x Doms with 4 melta.
Repressor.
7x seraphim with 2x2 inferno and plasma on the superior.
3x 7 bss with heavy flamer.
2x exorcists.
1x 2 penitent engines.
1x avenger strike fighter
1x knight errant with meltagun.
(Battallion formation with lord of war detachment) 6CP

I will preface this by admitting that the dice gods were with me in a big way.
2k point game. He did a miscalculation and found out after that he was 80 points under.

He got the first turn and i failed to sieze. Game was eternal war just an objective grab with dawn of war deployment.

Pregame, my doms in Repressor vanguard up behind LOS blocking cover.
Primaris turn 1:
Everything moves forward. Reivers come in the full 10 man squad onto an objective mid field. Vindicare assassin pops up 9 inches away from the bulk of my infantry force.
Vindicare misses, forcing him to use a cp to reroll and hit, taking 2 wounds off the Imagifier.
The dread focuses fire on the seraphim reducing them to 3 models.
Repulsive focuses on the repressor, reducing it to 9 wounds. Many saves were made.
No assaults. I use 2 CP to autopass the seraphim morale test.

Sisters turn 1:
Seraphim faith move close to the dreddy. Helena faith moves next to the reivers. Sister squads with imagifier and Katran move up centre field toward the reivers on the objective. Everything except exorcists and repressor moves forward. Seraphim jump behind the dreddy behind LOS blocking terrain to hide from his army.

Seraphim fire at the dreddy. Plasma overheats and i cp reroll to hit. Dreddy is reduced to 2 wounds.
Helena, 2 exorcists (which both rolled 1s for shots fired) and 2 bss focus fire into the reivers in cover and take down a few models.
A bss squad had moved on the vindicare assassin in cover and with flame and some great hit roll, take him down in one go.
Doms abd repressor melta range the repulsive and reduce it to 1 wound. The knights thermal cannon finishes it off. No explosion but he loses 2 flamey aggressors.
Helena charges the Reivers and take out a couple of models but is reduced to 2 wounds due to amazing overwatch and bad saves in combat.
The repressor and the penitent engines charge the flamey aggressors. Buh bye aggressors. Sicarius was supposed to be with these giys but my opponent forgot until next turn and we just played it as he was killed by the engines.
The Reivers now reduced to 4 models take moral and fail hard, losing 3 models. Id completely forgotten to fire the avenger.

Primaris turn 2:

Girlyman moves into a position where hes surrounded by what is left of the army. Everything stays still.
Dreddy takes the seraphim fiwn to 1 girl with infernos- these girls had amazing saves.
Shooty aggressors focus double tapping fire on Helena. This was a beautiful moment. She received a total of 50 wounds from this squad. 48 saves, the last 2 wounds happened on the last roll, finishing her off. CP reroll to bring her back behind the banner primaris.

Sisters turn 2:
Seraphim faith shoots and finishes off the dreddy. Helena faith moves closer to the banner and apothecary.
Seraphim jumps over beside the apothecary. Everything moves forwar except exorcists. Repressor moves sidewaysinto position to target girlyman who was just closer.
Seraphim fluffs her shooting and only scores 2 wounds on the apothecary. Exorcist finishes him off.
Doms and repressor open up on girlyman and reduce him to 2 wounds.
Bss finish off the last reiver.
Knight takes down a couple of shooty aggressors with thermal cannon. These guys pass a 3+ roll to have a parting shot at the nearby seraphim and take her down.
Penitent engines flame the aggressors only knocking off a wound.
Avenger completely whiffs.
Helena charges the banner primaris. Penitebt engines charge the aggressors. Girlyman is just outside heroic intervention range.
Penitent engines wipe out the aggressirs with their first round of attacks but they pass their 3+ parting shot due to the banner primaris and this particular combat ends with everyone involved smashing into each other and dying.
Helena only deals 2 wounds to the banner.

Primaris turn 3:

He only has a heavily wounded girlyman and the primaris banner left but is determined to take down Helena.
Banner falls back.
Girlyman fires a devestating volley into Helena reducing her to 2 wounds.
Banner charges and dies to Helenas overwatch.
Girlyman charges and manages to finally send Helena packing.
Here my opponent called the game as he was happy to have slay the warlord... at which point i reminded him that Katran was the warlord....im pretty sure his eye started twitching at this point.

Despite the one sidedness of the game, we both had fun.

Why would you ever deploy a Vindicare 9" from the enemy when you have 72" to work with?

Buggered if i know. Perhaps he was trying to intimidate and rely on the -2 to hit in covwe lime some kind of squishy distractionfex.
Though there was a LOT of los blocking terrain on this particular table and i was hiding a lot. There wasnt too many places he could go effectively aside from deployment.

I feel like Sicarus could have possibly single handedly changed the final outcome... I really don't like reports where one player makes a really bone headed play which loses the game... doesn't really mean anything.

I don't use dakka hugely, so I'm still struggling to get past 'Girlyman' without cracking up love the way this is written, gave me a good laugh!

His list:
Girlyman.
Banner Primaris dude.
Apothecary.
Vindicare assassin.
Cato Sicarius (whom he forgot the whole game).
Primaris dreadnaught.
Repulsive.
6x Flamey Aggressors
6x Shooty Aggressors.
10x Reivers.
Not sure on what equipment he had on his units.
(Not sure on detachment but had 7 CP)

Wow, that is a really unusual list. He had 7CP because Guilliman gives you 3, and he must have been using one of the 1 CP detachments because he has no troops at all. More than half his units are characters. Huh. I'm really curious what his plan was.

It's not a competitive list but has lots of character.
