A close game that went to points. The BL won 1200 to 825 despite Matt forgetting he had some 300 points tied up in daemons. The battle was declared "not tough enough that he needed to bring them in". Cue the Walk of Sportsmanship...

My list was pretty close to that Dave, with the following corrections:
The two mech retinues and the BTS (the one with havocs) had pact.
Neither the retinue with noise marines nor the termies had pact.
One of the chosen had two rhinos, the other had two dreadnoughts.
Every lord was a sorcerer lord ("sorcerer lord" pronounced in an appropriately nerdy-D&D voice)

So, between the daemons and the pacts it was 275pts.
*EDIT: of course all this info is suspect as I forgot the daemons in the first place

nice to see your bike(s) being annoying instead of your speeders for a change Dave. It was also fun to witness the bikes vs. mech ret assault, especially Matt's responses

glad to see that the two of you managed to bludgeon each other to a standstill though
