Time for some old school this weekend! My buddy and I got together for a game of 40K2 with 2500 points of Nurgle vs Squats!
I used a "Traitor" strategy card and boosted the initiative roll to start the game off, I barely won too! My Chaos Lord and squad of Nurgle Terminators teleported deep into the enemy ranks, 3 models including the Lord were in assault right away!
One Terminator did so poorly as to fumble his only attack roll, fortunately the Squat he faced off against returned the favor and rolled two fumbles! Chainfist vs Squat, guess who won! The rest of Terminator split their fire into the Hearthguard killing two exo-armored Stunties under a hail of Reaper fire; and into a squad of bikers, with a few more losses there also. Both enemy squads got doused in flamer juice too.
The Squat exoarmored Hearthguard protecting their leaders:
The thin green line! These 20 Plague marines did not do too much: They threw some Blight Grenades onto the bridge to chock any movement and picked off a few runts with long range Plasma fire.
after securing many summoning points and inflicting carnage on the Squats the pysker phase cam and the demons were summoned! I had enough points to bring in the GUO and 12 of the 14 Plague Bearers.

Overhead view of the battle, Nurgle is everywhere!
A Squat Brotherhood squad and a hidden Thudd Gun on the enemy right flak. I hit these guys with another strategy card "Booby Traps" and killed off 3 more stunties

My other strategy card was Bombardment which I dropped on the center line of the Squats. The GUO also used Stream of Corruption killing off the last 4 Squat Lascannons:
T3PO focusing his Culexus animus speculum or trying to keep the artery from busting in his 'noggin
A strong Nurgle victory
