Izzys list was something like this, excuse me for butchering the list because I'm not sure what else he had.

inquistor lord: emperors tarot, plasma gun,
w/ henchmen; 3 plamas, 2 combi-plasmas

Callidus assasin

Grey knight termies (5)

Imp Guard Vets with 3 meltas in chimera with multilaser/heavy bolters

Imp Guard Vets with 3 meltas in chimera with multilaser/heavy bolters

Dominion squad with 4 meltas w. sister superior

Leman Russ Vanquisher with/ lascannon

Mission: Annihilation
Deployment: Pitched battle.


Izzy won roll for deployment and chose me to deploy first. I spread my forces across the table, he bunkers up behind to buildings GKT babysitting the leman russ and a chimera. Dominion rhino and other chimera hide in other building. He reserves Valkyrie w/ inquistor lord. He rolls twice to steal initiative with emperors tarot and fails.




[Turn 1]

Saim Hann:

Cast fortune on jetlocks and move up. I shot bright lances and fire prisms at Grey Knight Termies, killing two.

Inquisition:

A jetlock dies to multilaser/heavy bolter fire.


[Turn 2]

Saim Hann:

Cast fortune on jetlocks and move up Some more. I start shifting my tanks to left and shoot everything.

I shook one of his chimeras.

Inquisition:

Rolls reserves both Valkyrie and Callidus come in. He outflanked the Valkyrie and lines his Valkyrie behind a DA Serpent the inquisitors retinue drop out and double pump plasma into rear armor and explodes it (killing 4 Dire avengers inside). Valkyrie then finishes off the rest of squad.

Vanquisher shoots at fire prism, the shot deviates on to a wave serpents rear armor. Wave Serpent explodes (killing 2 FD inside)

Callidus assassin fried two warlocks with template and then killed two more with c'tan phase sword, but then she falls to their witch blades.

[Turn 3]

Saim Hann:

I boost up a Prism cannon and drop large blast on lord inquisitors squad killing all the henchmen.
I shoot bright lance and immobilize a chimera.
Warlock and Farseer charge Valkyrie and wreck it.


Inquisition:

Dominion rhino plows through building and disembark to unload everything into the rear armor of my second DA wave serpent. AWeapon destroyed and 3 immobile later leaves wave serpent wrecked. Dire Avenger Pile out.

Multi laser/heavy bolter from a chimera fire and kill 3 FD in cover, only the exarch survives.

Inquisitor double taps plasma gun and charges (takes a 3d6 psychic test and passes) the jetlocks but I make all my saves and I wound him once. *I didn't realize he shot a rapid fire weapon then charged until now.


[Turn 4]

Saim Hann:

Fire Dragon Exarch lines up the twin linked heavy flamer with 8 sisters under the template and wound all 8 sisters killing 2 girls.

Dire Avengers fire their Shuriken Catapults and kill 4 more sisters.

Dire avengers and fire dragon exarch charge the sisters killing one chick, sister uses faith to make their strength 5 then pummel FD exarch.

Inquisitor takes another 3d6 psychic test and receives a Perils of Warp wound, the jetlocks then finish him off with witch blades.

Inquisition:

Leman Russ explodes a fire prism.

2 storm bolters from the rhino into my rear armor destroyed the TL-bright lance off my last wave serpent(fire dragons).

Grey Knights Termies advance midfield heading towards Dire Avenger and Dominion fight.
Veteran Squad jump out immobile and run towards center.



GAME ENDS

Game ends because its like 2am and the store owner wants to leave. We didn't even get to resolve the assault phase, slipped my mind. They game might have swayed my way in the following turn(s) or at least tied but who knows. Especially since he had the veterans in template formation for my other DFC/CS Exarch. I don't know if the farseer/warlock would have got the in time to charge termies. The game ended anticlimactically but was still a great game though

[Kill Points]

Saim Hann: 4
Inquisitor lord
His Retinue
Valkyrie
Callidus

Inquisition: 6
Dire Avengers
Fire Dragons
3 wave serpents
1 Fire Prism

An overall fun game with two great looking armies. All comments and criticisms are welcome, I'm still learning the game so excuse the noobiness. Izzy was a great opponent and I await my rematch.
