I played DeathGuard, 4 Objectives, Dawn of War. Normal 40K game.
His list was a huuuuge cool model of the Great unclean One and 30 Pox Walkers, LandRaider full of Deathguard Terminator trouble for Exorcist hunting, along with Typhus, a few Plague Marine units and Plagueburst Crawlers and a Nurgle dreadnought. Naturally the Plague Drones were in tow.

I went first and advanced most of my army, failing to get First Blood despite rolling quite well on the Exorcist number of shots. Land Raider shrugged off blows like crazy.
He moved up and started the culling, but his Plague Drones couldn't reach the Sisters. The LandRaider nearly took out an Exorcist. The Plagueburst Crawler moved up in its terrain entirely hidden and fired.
2
Sisters were now on the move again this time coasting at normal speed. The Vessel of the Emperor bestowed clarity, and a mass of bolter and Meltagun shots absolutely crushed the Poxwalkers and the Plague Marines to the left. 30 of them died with 8 Plague Marines to boot. Exorcists continued to fail in their mission, trying to kill the Land Raider, though they did cripple it.
The Plague Drones were killed by Celestine and a Canoness, near the center of the board, with the help of combined shooting beforehand (which proved highly ineffective and it took a TON of fire to get them wounded to a manageable level) but the Canoness was slain by the exploding Drone, and Celestine hurt, though she would heal some of it later. The Sisters of Battle tothe right were pleasantly surprised to be able to reach the Plagueburst Crawler and charge it through the terrain it hid in, locking it up for a moment.
Plague Marines acted to repel the Sisters fo Battle who attacked the 'Crawler. The Great UNclean One made a great charge roll and bashed into the Sisters of Battle on the left and took out as many as he swung at, with ease. The Land Raider belched its deadly contents out and they charged the Sisters to the right while the Land Raider ended my Exorcist. The Plagueburst Crawler backed away to The Nurgle Dreadnought shot and wounded Celestine with its multimelta but she lived through it.

Battle Sisters who were engaged with the Great UNclean One backed away, and the rest killed it. The left flank was now clear. Celestine leapt to the Dreadnought in the center of the enemy deployment zone and killed it. A Dialogus took command of the objective. Uriah set in the center of the central ruin to await the return journey of the Sisters of Battle who would soon be streaming to the right. Exorcists tried to kill the LandRaider but no dice. Shockingly resilient. Seraphim dropped from the sky to flame Typhus and his bodyguard who ejected from the Land Raider. There was little effect. Two other Seraphim units dropped in behind those in my deployment zone, to patiently wait in a ruin for their turn to affect things...
Typhus realized he was very exposed and charged into the Sisters of Battle that had attacked the 'Crawler, along wit hthe Land Raider which hoped to avoid the attentions of the Exorcists. He left just too alive and they decided to flee, leaving Typhus exposed and the Land Raider exposed.

Celestine slew the Plague Marines in the Plague Crawlers ruins and attacked the Crawler, engaging it. The Land Raider was demolished finally by exorcist fire. One of Typhus Bodyguards was killed and the noose tightened. Sisters FLOWED right at maximum possible speed, more or less slinging their rifles over their shoulders and running for all they were worth while Uriah made his way left to take the objective there eventually and keep it. The Sisters who could actually fire did while the Exorcists were forced to shift positions to try and kill Typhus and couldn't land a telling enough blow. So by and large the round was uneventful, and Celestine continued to try and kill the Crawler. Again very hearty.
The Crawler pulled away again and Typhus dove for cover in the building Celestine was hacking away in. Typhus charged her and dropped her, but she miraculously appeared as if unharmed! There simply was nothing left to do so Typhus prepared for the worst.
5
Seraphim crested the ledge of the building Typhus wastaking refuge in and washed him in flame but he cared not. Only Celestine and some few Sisters could really even see into the ruin so that wasabout the extent of it... and then I made a huge mistake and forgot to charge Typhus. I have no idea why, but so sure of victory was I that I simply got in a hurry and conceded the turn to him at the end! Wow.
Typhus made me pay and hacked Celestine in half. Now huddled in the ruin with the Seraphim looking down on him with damnation and fiery absolution on their minds, and the many Battle Sisters haveing run for all they were worth, Typhus defiantly grunted as he prepared for the end, lashing out at Seraphim.
6.
The Seraphim saw no reason to stay and flew backwards and clearedthe way for Celestines vengeance. All guns fired. A Battle Sister Squad exploded the Crawler that had endured and Typhus and his bodyguard were engulfed in Exorcist missile fire.
The Battle was over and not one Plague infested heretic stood.
14-1
