Wraithguard (4) + Wave Serpents
Wraithguard (5) + Wave Serpents
Aspect Warriors (Swooping Hawks) + Exarch
Windriders
Rangers (6)
Swords of Vaul (3 Falcons & 2 Firestorms)
Swords of Vaul (3 Falcons & 2 Firestorms)
War Walkers (6)
Vampire Raider
Wraithship
Vs.
Retinue + Supreme Commander & Rhinos
Retinue + Rhinos
Terminators + Daemonic Pact & Champion
Defilers
Defilers
Armoured Company (3 Land Raiders & Predator)
Warphound
Warphound
Doomwings

We both failed lots of activations and if the Iyanden had managed to engage the Warphound at the end of turn one things might have been a bit different.
List is fine for approval.
Picture to follow later on today.
