The Deployment:
I have a squad of Plague Marines and the Chaos Lord inside the Rhino. Three squads of Troupe start inside of transports.

Death Guard Turn 1:
I retreated a bit with the Daemon Prince and the drones. I brought the Plague Marines a bit closer to the other units. Plagueburst Crawler shot and killed 3 Troupe.

Harlequins Turn 1:
Two Starweaver jump in my face, they inflict a couple of wounds on one of the drones, the other kill 3 Plague Marines. Last Starweaver kills 2 Plague Marines from another squad.

Death Guard Turn 2:
I surround the Starweavers, I kill them, both of them blow upand kill a couple of Marines. One of the drones and the Spawns kill both units of Troupes that disembarked.

Harlequins Turn 2:
Skyweavers move up, they kill a squad of Plague Marines and leave the drone with one wound after assaulting it. Troupes on the right advance but fail the charge on the drone and Spawns. Shadowseer assaults my Chaos Lord and inflicts two wounds.

Death Guard Turn 3:
Spawns, Daemon Prince and drone assault the Troupes and the two characters and kill them all. Drone disengages but it is killed with a stratagem.

My opponent conceded. I had fun and i really like the resilience of Death Guard.
