Black Legion vs World Eaters

 The Deployment:
For Black Legion I proxied the Lord of Skulls with the Tower of Skulls and the Predator with the chrome Rhino. Black Legion has half of it's army in reserves while Khorne was on the edge of the deployment zone.

Black Legion Turn 1:
Lord of Skulls moved forward then Terminators, Obliderators, Raptors and Abbadon dropped 9" away from the enemy Lord of Skulls. Everybody shot at the Lord of Skulls and left him in 5 wounds. Terminators assaulted to finish the job but they just died.

World Eaters Turn 1:
All melee units advanced up the battlefield. All units shot at the Lord of Skulls leaving him in 5 wounds. Bloodletters charged the Obliderators and killed them. Lord of Skulls killed the Raptors.

Black Legion Turn 2:
Lord of Skulls killed the other Lord of Skulls in the previous combat. Havocs and Lord of Skulls killed all the Bloodletters. Predator failed to wound the Vindicator.

World Eaters Turn 2:
Havocs and Vindicator finished the Lord of Skulls which exploded and did 3 wounds on Abbadon. Predator failed to wound Abbadon. On the other side of the board, Berserkers were still advancing.

Black Legion Turn 3:
Havocs took out the Vindicator.

World Eaters Turn 3:
Finally Abbadon dies from Lascannons. Havocs kill a Havoc. Rhino and Chaos Space Marines assault the Predator and they did 2 wounds.

Black Legion Turn 4:
Havocs killed 6 Berserkers.

World Eaters Turn 4:
Exalted Champion kills the Chaos Lord and consolidated into the Havocs.

Since all the Black Legion units were engaged in combat I finished the game here since they were going to get killed in the next round.

I am amazed that World Eaters won, but their job was easy since the enemy dropped right in front of them.
