Will have another battle today after a months hiatus. This time I'm gonna test the new Nurgle CSM list that i find very interesting. It will be tested against lots of tanks in the Minervan list. My list is not very "chaotic". I wanna test the durability of lots of fearless formations and a AV/WE heavy list. Here it is:

Plague Marines+Lord of Pestilence+2 Land raiders+2 Rhinos 545 (BTS)
Plague Marines+2 Land Raiders+2 Rhinos 495
Plague Tower 300
Plague Tower 300
Armoured company: 4 predators and 2 Land Raiders 350
Hellblades 200
Hellblades 200
Plague reaper 200

Setup:

No garrisons.

I set my 2 plague towers watching over my blitz and the left flank. The rest of the forces where pretty evenly spread out.

My opponent deployed all along his table edge.

My thoughts:

It was a bad match up of armies. I really would have needed teleporting terminators supported by daemons to deal with the SHT Co and the Tank Co.

I also could have used a fats unit like blight drones to make sure that i would have prevented TSNP.

This became a slow shooting match where i was outgunned I'm afraid.

Kinda funny to loose on the 2 onjectives i thought i would win the game on....

Any thoughts or ideas from you guys on what could have been better army selection and/or tactics?
