Turns 1 and 2:
The Deathguard attempt to seize the iniative, and succeed! The first two turns are relatively slow with both sides attempting to get into better positions. A couple of the Deathguard are wounded, as well as a couple of the Dark Angels. All of the Daemonic support for the Deathguard arrive by turn 2.

Turn 3:
Turn three has the Dark Angel Librarian and the remaining Deathwing Terminators assault Squad Rictus of the Deathguard, and the remains of the Dark Angel tactical squads assault the advancing Nurgle lesser Daemons. The Plasma gunner from squad Mortis and the Dark Angel Dread exchange fire with the plasma gunner able to knock out the missile launcher on the dread.

Turn 4:
Is a bloody mess! Deathguard, Deathwing, Dark Angels, etc....all die. It is a bloodbath. Even Khorne would be impressed. The aspiring champion from squad Mortis joins the fray against the combined Dark Angel tactical squads, but is killed before he can even get to attack with his powerfist......aaaargh!

Turn 5:
At the end of turn 5, the Dark Angel librarian finally falls to the relentless attacks the lesser daemons, but not before he dispatches the aspiring champion from squad Rictus. The Plasma gunner from squad Mortis lands another glancing hit on the Dark Angel dread and knocks out the twin linked lascannons.
