Played a Dawn of War 2-table-objectives mission at 1500 points.

I had a
Command in chimera - 4x plasma gun, 1x plasma pistol
Infantry platoon - 3x autocannons, 4x grenade launchers, heavy weapons team with 3x lascannons
Vet squad - 3x meltas + demolitions in vendetta A
Vendetta B
Vet squad - 3x meltas on foot
2x Basilisks
Leman Russ
Manticore

He had
Nurgle Daemon Prince
3 Obliterators
1 Defiler
1 Vindicator
2 CSM squads
5 nurgle bikers - 1 melta
5-6 terminators, 1 reaper autocannon, 1 melta

I stole the initiative on 6 to get first turn, it was a wide table, I put my objective on my side in the middle, he put his way on the top right corner.
I had my command in chimera deployed in very middle of board, one vet squad way right guarding a wall, and my platoon was deployed in middle and bottom-left (lascannon team)
He started with his prince behind cover on the middle, one marine squad on middle, and one marine squad top-right on his objective.

Night-fighting starts on my turn, I move my army onto the field, basilisks way on right with one vendetta, other vendetta and tanks and stuff on left side. I fire my center-chimera's searchlight and it reaches the enemy CSM squad in the middle of the field. My entire army opens up with their turn 1 guns even though it's night-fighting and wipes like 8 out of 10 of that squad out because of the search light. I kill like 3 marines with my command plasma guns but I lose 1 plasma gun to Gets Hot!

His first turn, he moves his vindicator and nurgle bikers on top-left, defiler and termies top-mid, obliterators top-right, fails night fighting on everything (it's not near him) and his turn ends. Bikers turbo-boost over towards me.

My next turn, I drive my chimera up and wipe out the last 2 marines. His vindicator on top-left gets hit by my vendetta and maybe 1 artillery and it's stunned so it can't move/shoot. His defiler that moved on the top middle gets hit by some artillery that misses completely and the autocannons destroy it (yay!) His daemon prince is now within range so my meltaguns jump over the wall and shoot it, one miss, like two wounds, he succeeds on two 5+ invulnerable saves. My vendetta shoots 3 lascannons at it, he also saves all of those with 5+. Autocannons shoot it and his 3+ save ignores them completely.

His turn 2, he shoots and blows the front lascannon off my right vendetta even though there's a forest right in front of his shooters (because we used the fantasy table and the terrain was ALL way too short and BS) His DP charges and kills my guard but suffers 1 wound. Vets lose combat and vanish. His tanks can't shoot anything. His terminators try to shoot my chimera AV12 with a reaper autocannon but no luck. He turbo-boosts his bikers up to meltagun my vendetta, scores an immobilize on it with his meltagun (doesn't actually), then mentions he has a 4+ cover save on my turn (cheating.) His turn, he fires 3 oblits at my basilisk, stuns one so it can't shoot.

My 3rd turn, I fire 2 ordinance at his vindicator and hit his rear armor twice, double penetrations, but I roll 1-2 on both, so it can't move or shoot.
I fire more ordinance barrages at his marines on his objective, kill 1 or 2 guys.
I fire 3 lascannons and kill 1 nurgle biker. My command chimera drives 6" to terminators, is exactly 12" away from them, rapid fires plasma guns, kills 4 terminators out of 5, but I lose all but 1 plasma gun and my commander now has 1 wound left out of 3 from Gets Hot! pistol. My Multi-laser fires 3 shots at the lone terminator, gets 1 or 2 wounds, he rolls a 1, terminator dies, Haha!
I find out his damage on my vendetta was cheating so he offers to give up his cover save (from driving all the way up there) to my shooting if I leave my vendetta immobilized there, I say F that he was the one who cheated, fly my vendetta 6" backwards and kill maybe 1 more biker.
My 2nd vendetta troop squad on the right gets out, shoots the Daemon prince down to 1 wound-left with 3 meltaguns (1 wound on it) and 1 wound from Flashlights.

He tries to shoot at my basilisks in cover with 3 lascannons, hits 3 times, tries to claim he can see 50% of them so they get no cover save, and he ends up deciding to let me get a 6+ cover save for my vehicles which have a wall in front of them and are side-to-side. I roll 6 6 6 on cover saves and he curses and whines like a little girl about stuff. His DP kills another vet squad in combat.

I fail to wound his DP again on turn 4. I blast every biker and the vindicator off the left side (they killed 0 things, vindie never shot once. Defiler also never shot once.) My chimera drives 6" forward and kills 1 marine guarding his objective. (I love these guys.)

His turn 4, Daemon Prince tears apart right vendetta. His oblits get fluke rolls on hit/wound and don't destroy basilisks.

My turn 5, I gun down the last wound off Daemon Prince. I fire at his objective holders (10men marines reduced to 5 marines.)
His turn 5, nothing special.

Game ends. He killed a total of 2 vendetta troop squads. I killed a defiler, a 5 nurgle biker squad, a vindicator, 15 marines, a daemon prince, 6 nurgle terminators. Ends up a draw because it's 1 objective to 1 objective (my chimera isn't within 3" yet.)

Moral victory, I completely obliterated his army without losing a single important thing. If the game had gone on, one more round of shooting could have killed his 5 marines and won me the game. I could've tabled him completely in a few turns more.
