Combined Arms Detachment:
One squad of Flesh Hounds made their scout move.
Khorne Daemonkin Turn 1:
Everything moved up 12", Raptors shot down a biker, everybody else ran.
Chaos Space Marines Turn 1:
Chaos Space Marines in red Rhino disembarked and killed 3 of the Flesh Hounds that scouted. The Rhino moved all the way to the middle of the board to steal an objective. Vindicator killed 2 biker champions. Chaos Space Marines in black Rhino disembarked and killed the squad of bikes on the right side of the board getting first blood. Defiler Killed 2 Bloodcrushers and some Flesh Hounds. Noise Marines killed more of the Flesh Hounds. One of my squad of bikers failed their leadership and fell back 12".
It was a good turn for Chaos Space Marines, took out around 400 points.
Khorne Daemonkin Turn 2:
The black bikers regrouped and I had enough bloodthie points to convert my Chaos Lord into a Daemon Prince and summoned a Bloodthirster from the axe (we didn't use the FAQ only for Helbrutes) and the squad of Bloodletters arrived from reserves, Terminators didn't felt like fighting yet.
One squad of Raptors shot at the Vindicator as an insurance policy in case the bikers wouldn't get the job done. The second squad of Raptors shot at the adversary bikers but they didn't do anything. Bloodcrushers and 2 squads of flesh hounds surrounded the bikers and took them out in combat. Bikers in the building in the middle were good to me and wrecked the Vindicator. I disembarked the Possessed and lined them up against the Aegis defense line. The 3 remaining Flesh Hounds models from 2 squads got in combat with Noise Marines, but my adversary doesn't know how to roll under 3 for armor saves. Warp Talons took out the red Rhino, good thing for shred because I rolled 10 ones and twos out of 15 dice (*this is how I usually roll).
Chaos Space Marines Turn 2:
Another good turn for Chaos Space Marines, They wiped out the Warp Talons, killed a lot of Raptors, one squad of Flesh Hound and one Bloodletter. One Helbrute got stuck in combat with Possessed.
Khorne Daemonkin Turn 3:
I had enough bloodthie points to summon another Bloodthirster, but I failed the leadership for the lonely Raptor champion. Terminators joined the fray and went full plasma on the Defiler but got of only 1 hull point. Bikers moved up and melta the Helbrute, exploding it (icon of excess dies from explosion). Raptors and one squad of Flesh Hounds attacked the Chaos Space Marines, but all saves were made again. Noise Marines finish the last Flesh Hound.
Chaos Space Marines Turn 3:
Chaos Space Marines move through the demon tree and shot the Bloodletters, I managed to make all the saves and feel no pains. Defiler took out the Terminators. Obliderators killed the bikers Noise Marines took one wound of the Daemon Prince.
Khorne Daemonkin Turn 4:
I had again 8 bloodthie points and sacrificed the Raptor champion for a Bloodthirster. Since the Raptor champion was in a challenge and was sacrificed we considered that the Space Marine champion one combat and rolled on the Boon table and he was converted into a Spawn. Bloodthirster attacked the other Helbrute and wrecks it. Bloodletters attack the Slaanes Marines and die. Daemon Prince, one squads of Bloodcrushers and bikers charge the Noise Marines and they all fail their charges (inner rage intensifies and I felt like destroying the table). In combat with the Space Marines all saves were made, again...
Chaos Space Marines Turn 4:
Spawn got a wound on the Flesh Hounds losing combat and the Raptor flees. Defiler shot at the Rhino but missed. Everybody shot at the Daemon Prince left him with one wound and gets killed by the Slaanesh Marines in combat. Bloodthirster that is summoned from the axe mishaps and dies because I rolled 1 on the mishap table. (I forgot to take a picture, this is how the battlefield looks like after my movement in turn 5)
Khorne Daemonkin Turn 5:
Raptor kept falling back. 2 squads of Bloodcrushers and a Bloodthirster surrounded the Slaanesh Marines and slaughtered them. Bikers grabbed objective 1 for 2 points. In the other combat Spawn took out 3 Flesh Hounds.
Chaos Space Marines Turn 5:
Noise Marines and Obliderators killed the 2 squads of Bloodcrushers.
At this point was 11 - 10 for Chaos Space Marines. I definitely needed turn 6. Since my adversary rolled high the whole game, I made him roll and the game continued (tactics!).
Khorne Daemonkin Turn 6:
I summoned a Skull Cannon with bloodthie points. Bikers got in the back of the Rhino that had line breaker and wrecked it.
Score turned 11 - 9 for Khorne Daemonkin and my adversary called it a game since he couldn't make any more points.
It was a very close game, every turn Chaos Space Marines was leading by one point. It was the first game that I used Raptors and Warp Talons but I am not sure when I will use them again since the formation is very expensive. Noise Marines are really good but a little expensive. The biggest conclusion is that I need to make some juju and voodoo to get better rolls. In turn 1 I made only one save.
