His list(from memory)
Landraider (2x Multimelta)
Grey knight terminators with brother lord

Landraider crusader
Grey knight terminators with Grey knight inquisition lord (or something like that)

Inquisition lord with sages and mystics.

5 squads of IG with lascannons or Autocannons

2 squads of Storm troopers in chimeras with 3x(?) Plasma 3x Hellguns.

The game type was take and hold with 3 objectives I had won first turn and made him go first and the deployment type was Dawn of War.
The daemonhunters had come to vanquish the wolves for fear they had fallen to daemonic possession. The wolves knowing they are true to the Allfather returned their wild accusations and threats with the fury of a true warrior.

The wolf guard pods descended, crashing right next to the two land raiders and the grey hunter's crash landed next to the IG troop line trying to take a point. The razorback punched through the ruins in the upper north and held it all battle with the defense of 18 long fangs an 2 wolf guard equipt fully with missiles to destroy any vehicle that dared advance and take the point they were guarding.

The wolf guard and priest punch out of their pods unloading melta shots into the side of the Land raider, tearing apart its armor and destroying one of them and blowing up the other. The resulting explosion rained shards onto the Grey hunters that had landed by the land raider as well as the guard hiding in the ruins. The shrapnel killed three guard causing them to fail moral and run like the cowards they are.

The initial assault was over and the daemon hunters mustered everything they could to repel the wolves standing in front of them teeth bared. The grey knights were not afraid thought, they advanced whole heartedly against my wolf guard, leveling wicked flame thrower round and then leveled themselves into a haphazard charge. The wolf guard weren't going down with out a fight so with a roar they charged back to meet the grey knights head on. The resulting melee of 7 grey knights and 6 wolf guard ended with 3 guard and a priest left and 2 knights left.

The guard, lord and storm troopers shot into my grey hunters, slowly killing them under constant fire yet the squad remained strong.

The daemon hunters assault was over and the rest of the wolf pack came to bare. Five more wolf guard decended from the sky unloading fire into exposed guardsmens. Twenty more guard came into the fray as well, unloading bolter and plasma fire into the remaining squads.

The rest of the battle continued this way, exchanging shots and assaults. The guard failed to keep their lines and fell back. Their chimeras had terrible luck trying to punch through ruins and all of their tank treads were destroyed. The game ended with all of the guardsmen and knights dead, the inquisition lord dead in the ruins and three immobilized chimeras smoking in the ruins. All three objectives were held by my wolves and glory to the Allfather was upheld.

I think the daemon hunters will think twice before declaring the wolves daemon possessed and heretics.

Well, now you're just being a bully.

Hey I didnt go to the daemon hunters picnic and try to kick sand in their egg salad.

It was a fun game though I give props to my opponent for playing through the game even though he admitted he lost the first turn after losing both his land raiders.

We had some fun in the pregame joking around saying that the daemon hunters sent a strongly worded letter because the inquisition tried to do something to the space wolves yet got spanked.

Well, I was more making a reference to DH being one of the very worst codecies in the game going up against the very best, but that one's pretty funny too.

Hey I didnt make him play the army lol, he said he's gonna keep playing them till he gets good with em.. so you know.. till their next codex lol.

I can't criticize that, since I'm the exact same way.

I wish the daemon hunters weren't so terrible too, they are pretty cool yet they suffer from old codex disorder.

well geee wiz.... he made a pretty damn huge mistake there. You have a scary drop podding list, with lots of meltas in the pods.... and you had first turn. He should have held his army in reserve, had you bring in a few pods, THEN brought in his army to assault your pod squads, while popping smoke on the raiders to try to survive any melta reinforcements ><

yeah but the problem with that is if he held it all in reserve there's the chance it come in piece wise and gets shot to hell while I hold points. And since its old smoke he doesnt get cover just all pens are glancing and with ap 1 weapons it isn't that big of a deal.

Technically he had first turn yet I had one thing across the board to shoot at and since night fighting he couldnt.

So the choices are come in and face my pods (he does have the chance to shoot at every pod that comes in 4d8 inches away) or risk coming in piece by piece.

Nice Game. yeah taking out the land raiders was very nice. I have not seen anyone run a list like yours. I like the whole mass drop pod termy death. How does your list fair against others?

So he had an inquisitor with mystics - the best defense against drop pods. Why didn't he protect his land raider from melta by positioning the mystics near the drop pods and creating an anti-deepstrike bubble that would blow away anything that came near it?

Deamonhunters are not the worst codex. They definitely shine in some aspects but suffer from over-priced units and out fo date wargear. In the hands of a great general even some of the best codices cannot stand up to it.

What did the daemonhunter player keep in reserve, if anything ? Absolutely crazy crazy having both land raiders on the board turn 1 with that much melta !! Make a bubble with the mystics as a previous guy commented. Bad enough them having an older codex.

He did.. well tried too. He got really wrecked by the die roll all ended up around 1" away from being able to shoot at them when they landed. However the problem with keeping his LR's in reserve is that if he had I wouldn't have dropped my meltas I would have dropped my plasma or something like that because he had to place and go first, so if the LR arnt on the board I focus fire into his troops and remove his ability to score.
