The Deployment:
In order to have range to get the tanks I deployed my Havocs in the middle of the board, but my opponent managed to hide his tanks behind a building.

Astra Militarum Turn 1:
Scout Sentinels moved forward and one of them burned a few Cultists. Lascannons killed a Helbrute and the tanks took out 2 squads of Havocs.

Heretic Astartes Turn 1:
Havocs almost take out 2 squads of Guardsman and Helbrutes kill the Sentinels.

Astra Militarum Turn 2:
Again lascannons kill the Helbrutes and tanks kill some Havocs. Scions kill a squad of Cultists.

Heretic Astartes Turn 2:
I manage to kill 3 squads of Guardsmen. Chaos Lord assaults the squads of Scions kills 4 of them but he is left in one wound.



Astra Militarum Turn 3:
Again tanks and Mortar teams take out 2 squads of Havocs. Scions disengage and kill the Chaos Lord.

Heretic Astartes Turn 3:
My remaining Havocs kill on more squad of Guardsmen.

Astra Militarum Turn 4:
Scions kill the Warpsmith and a Chaos Lord. Mortar teams kill the Cultists and the tanks kill Abaddon.

I conceded since there was no way I could survive. This was a bad match up for me since my opponent had relics and stratagems that allowed him to re-roll to hit and wound against Chaos. The idea was that my Lascannons can take out the tanks but they were well hidden and they didn't need line of site. It was my mistake and I paid for it.
