And to the best of my knowledge without points.

Wolf Lord
Terminator entourage 2 lightning claws 3 TH, SS in a drop pod

2 Autocannon dreads with powerfist

Rune Priest

2 Squads of Blood claws with rhinos krak and frag
1 Grey hunter squad with rhino krak and frag and plasma

1 Long Fang Squad

We roll for deployment and we get spearhead and then for missions we get objective with 5 objectives. I place two both in my table quarter while he spreads out all three one relatively close to me the other two in his table quarter.
Turn 1
He won first turn and passed it to me. I scouted my Valk putting shots on the long fangs. The two demolishers opened up with their lascannon on the dreads shaking one. One of my chimeras lines up on the long fangs and does nothing. I move everything else trying to stay in cover
His turn his whole army lurches forward putting shots on my chimeras shaking two. His long fangs destroy my valk spilling my demo squad onto the ground where his blood claws lay in wait to rip them apart, ( I really should of stayed farther back with the valk but this allowed my demolishers to get closer) And his drop pod with terminators and his wolf lord comes down right in front of my demolishers
Turn 2
His blood claws are in perfect position for my hell hound. And the smell of barbecued fur fills the air. I kill 7 of the pups and I send them running. I then unload every shot i have into the terminators killing all but the wolf lord who still has all his wounds. My pysker chimera is on my back objective while my flamer squad is on the other objective in my quarter. my bane wolf stays out of sight but is close to the space wolves. I pop smoke on everything but my bane wolf. Marbo comes down tosses a demo pack on the rune priest and the long fangs it scatters back on marbo insta kills him.
He sends his wolf lord running at the front melta chimera that unloaded on his brothers. While his squad of grey hunters joins the wolf lord and only manages to shake the chimera in shooting and the wolf lord whiffs and doesn't even hit the chimera. Who moved full out and popped smoke. His dreads fire on my hellhound shaking it and then his blood claws with a power fist destroy my hellhound. He then stuns the melta chimera.
Turn 3
after this the game was over all it took was mopping up his troops and using my demolishers to insta kill the wolf lord using the bane wolf to destroy his troop choices and cut off his transports from contesting he did teach me the uses of JWW by killing my primaris and a couple vets. I also use my melta squads chimera to contest his back objective and the flamer chimera to control the third objective towards my table quarter so that leaves me having 3 objectives him with one.

My MVP would have to be my twin demolishers they destroyed the entire cc terminator squad and destroyed a dread. They made a 300 point unit get blown to pieces.
He had alot of bad rolling including not being able to pop any of my chimeras only weapon destroying one and destroying the hell hound and valk with the squad inside.

Well from the SW side I see some real errors
-No Wolf Priest for the Blood Claws and no MotW
-He miss-used his Drop Pod and got his Guard killed

I hope he learnd form this

I hope so too. The thing is he pumped himself up alot saying he went to tournaments all the time got everything paid for I'm pretty sure he was bullshitting but just his list and the fact that he split his army up right down the middle it made it to easy.

an assault termi squad in a drop pod, why? lol you cant assault out of it, making them a major target for every gun in any army. that seems like a dumb setup

The IG list looks solid to me though.

Thank you I've been working on it for a while.
@Mafty yes it is I think his plan was for it to soak up as much damage as possible but he just wasted 300 points in 2 turns while they did nothing to affect my army except for cause my demolishers to shoot at something else. The lascannon demolisher set up worked just as I wanted it to. So overall I was really pleased with the performance of the list. I'm going up against a couple daemons on saturday I'll make sure to post a little more indepth battle report including their exact lists and maybe with some pictures.

Not to mention he won the roll off but gave the IG player first turn....

the SW player seemed to spend a lot of points on... well, garbage lol. good battle tho, you taught him a lesson in humility!

Tough break for Marbo...
