Result turn 4 VP's AMTL win 2075 to 837.5

AMTL
775 Warlord, MRL, MRL, CCW (Carapace), CLP (Static blitz guard and bombardment titan)
600 Reaver, VMB, VMB, Las Burner, CML
575 Reaver, Inferno Gun, Inferno Gun, Las Burner
500 Warhound Pack, VMB, PGB, VMB, PGB
275 Warhound, VMB, PGB
275 Warhound, VMB, Inferno gun

SLightly tweaked (changed Razorback location) Dave T's list from a recent tourny win (used by me, I lacked imagination)
T/Hawk
T/Hawk
Terminators +Chaplain
Scouts
Scouts
Scouts
Land Speeders
Devastators + Hunter + 1 Las Razorback
Tacticals + Hunter + S.C. + 1 Las Razorback
Warhound
Warhound
T/Bolts

Overall the marines advanced cautiously, hitting the edges of the Titans who advanced ina  clump The terminators attacked a warhound and recovered with no problems but were wiped out doing no damage when jumping the Warlord. Increasingly risky assaults tied up titans somewhat and meant they never got far, but at some cost.

End turn 3/Start turn 4.
Turn four the Scouts (sorry about the red lines) jumped the warhounds, won round 1 at +2 but the cursed beasts drew and it went to round 2 where they lost.

End turn 4

When we get a chance we plan to play again and switch sides with same lists.

Worth noting that although this was another "winning draw" for the TL, I was one rhino away from BTS and also TRC had a scout unit rally in my half to prevent TSNP, or else its 3-0 TL. (Also if I had made one more save by the bottom right Reaver in the scout assault it wouldn't have broken and I'd have DTF too).

Tactics are so simple.  Big blitz/BTS inhibitor and a pack of WE to go after T&H (which in turn denies DTF and TSNP).

In turn TRC killed one warhound with his terminators (a mistake on my turn when it broke I ran it back but not quite into support range of the Warlord or that would have been much riskier).  And the other died from about 5 FF hits (on average it would have just broken).

When we switch round I have no idea how I am going to kill stuff.  TRC is agressive and charged in, I expect I'll be doing more of the running and hiding strategy.  I am open to advice on how to take on this battle?

You have a Marine army with only one close-engagement formation (Terminators).

I suggest prayer. :))

Well, its pretty much what the tourney winning marine army is currently, hence taking it. I assume that would change if the WE count went up significantly!
