A close battle with the new Marine changes. The Marines won it in the fourth with Blitz, T&H, DTF and possibly TSNP (we didn't see if the Terminators rallied). Chaos was one Hunter shy of BTS.

Turn 4

Image
Turn 4 (with the "Apple for you sir!" teddy bear).

Image
In an attempt to clense their shame brought upon by the Vindicators' deaths the Scouts assault the SC.

Image
One Scout and two Marines go down...

Image
But it goes to a second round!

Image
The Scouts stand tall and take down another Marine.

Image
The Scouts hack down the rest of the SC and redeem their honor in the eyes of the chapter.

Image
The Terminators engage the other scouts (hereafter known as the JV team).

Image
The JV Team is wiped out...

Image
A Blade lays a BM on the Preds.

Image
The SC moves up to screen the Blitz, lay a BM on the retinue in the woods.

Image
The Talons decide they gave it their best and go home.

Image
The Land Speeders break the Pred and grab a T&H.

Image
The other Blade fights on and lay a BM on the SC.

Image
The Whirlwinds manage to kill the Terminator lord and Obliterator (they fired Important Unit Sniping Missiles).

Image
The retinue in the woods makes a go for BTS and engages the SC.

Image
Two marines go down!

Image
The Marines pile in for a second round.

Image
Three Chaos Marines go down (including the lord) but only the SC lives (thanks to his Invulnerable).

Image
The retinue wins, but breaks. The Hunter makes its get-a-way.

Image
End of Game

I still had the Annihilators and Tacticals at this point which could have grabbed DTF and possibly TSNP is the Terminators I broke couldn't rally.

sounds like a brutal game. I bet Matt was a bit floored by the aircraft oneupmanship followed by the Hunter bait'n'switch. Your terrible dice in the early turns swapped terribleness with Matt's later on, which is when it mattered with the assaults.

Any thoughts on the Marine changes. There were certainly a lot of marines on that table plus more hunters than are usually seen. Did Matt have problems dealing with so many relatively tough formations?

The reductions allowed me to field 2 extra hunters or a scout formation. The hunters definitely helped out, and same with the Scouts, but whether they were actually needed or not I'm still waffling over.

I've played lists similar to this before and done well enough with them. He also got my BTS so I don't think the formations are super-tough. My Destructors and Vindicators died horribly as well, although that was more due to not being able to save once with them.
