Same table as my last game against Orks. I placed my blitz behind the city and one T&H far back on the right. Marines are deployed with Tacticals on the right, a Warhound and the Supreme Commander behind the city with Scouts on overwatch in front. Both Assault Marine formations are in the Thunderhawk.

On the left side marines have Predators and the second Warhound with Scouts garrisoned on the far left landing pad. The second marine T&H objective was placed to the left on the far side of the river. The Chaos objectives were placed closely together, one on the hill just below the lake and the other to the left of the city.

Chaos deployed mainly around the large forest. From the right we have Chosen, Predators with Knights behind, BTS retinue in Land Raiders, more Chosen with another Land Raider retinue behind, and the Subjugator and third Chosen unit on their right flank.

 

Turn 1

C1: Marines wins initiative and lets chaos go first. They rush a formation of Chosen into the ruins on the right flank and places a BM on the Tacticals

SM1: A Warhound doubles past the Chosen and blasts one of their Rhinos

C2: The predators advance and removes both shields from the Warhound.
SM2: The Marauders hit the BTS retinue and clips the Knights with a template. A single marine is killed and the Knights gets away with some blast markers.

C3: Helltalons fail to intercept the Marauders
SM3: The Scouts in the city goes on overwatch
C4: The Chosen on the marine left flank doubles forwards and places a BM on the Scouts garrisoned by the landing pad.

SM4: Thunderbolts hits them killing two Chosen.

C5: The last Chosen formation doubles forwards to place a BM on the Scouts in the city.

SM5: Marine Predators advance and destroys their transports.

C6: The Subjugator advances and kills one Predator.

SM6: The Supreme Commander doubles and kills 2 of the Chosen. They break and fall back into the large forest.

 C7: A retinue advances and kills two Rhinos from his formation.

SM7: The Scouts on the left flank doubles towards the bridge and breaks the nearby Chosen with a BM.

C8: The Chaos Warlord orders his formation attack the marine Supreme Commander. They double but fails to do any damage.
SM8: The second Warhound doubles ahead and kills one Land Raider and one marine from the BTS.

C9: The Knights fail to activate and removes blast markers.
SM9: The second Tacticals double and shoots the Chaos BTS. They kill the Warlord, breaking the formation.

C10: The Chaos Thunderhawk snipes the Hunter from the Supreme Commanders formation.
SM10: The Marine Thunderhawk air assaults and wipes out the Chaos Predators.

End of Turn:  The Chaos BTS rallies.

 

Turn 2

SM1: The marines wins initiative and needs to take care of the Subjugator threatening to charge into the Marine BTS... The Scouts on the left doubles into support range and places a BM.
SM2: The Warhound engages and wins the combat. No damage to any of the Titans. The Subjugator retreats forward to the marine left flank.

C1: Chaos goes for the Assault Marines and starts by doubling the Knights, killing one marine.
C2: The Chosen retains and engages the intermingled Assault Marine formations. The Knights went a bit too close to the Marines who counter charges towards the Knights. They are brought into combat and the counter charge takes the Assaults out of FF range of the Chosen. With the support of a Warhound the Assaults do 4DC on the Knights while they lose 3 units. The marines win the roll-off and both Knights and Chosen break.

SM3: The Tacticals fails and removes blast markers.
C3: The Thunderhawk air assault the Warhound in the large forest.  Chaos wins the combat and the Warhound breaks with two wounds and no shields left, retreating to the farm at the top right.

SM4: Marauders stands down
C4: The Helltalons breaks both Assault formations with their bombs.

C5: Retaining the Land Raider retinue kills all Tacticals in the open, including the Supreme Commander. They break and falls back behind the city.

SM5: Predators sustains on the retinue but only manages to kill the Stalker.

C6: The BTS doubles towards the Scouts on the left flank, but the Scouts manages to save all hits.

SM7: Thunderbolts wipe out the broken Chosen on the left flank.
SM8: The Thunderhawk wipes the broken Chosen in the center forest.

End of Turn: Space marines are closing in on Chaos. Chaos have their three retinues, Knights and air support more or less combat effective. Marines fails ALL rallies and both Assault formations, the Warhound on the right and the BTS remains broken...

Turn 3

C1: Chaos wins initiative and double the Land Raider retinue towards their T&H objectives. They shoot and break the Warhound in the lake.

C2: The Thunderhawk retinue tries to engage the Tacticals but fails and removes BMs.

SM1: Tacticals double to grab Chaos Blitz. They break the BTS retinue in a crossfire.

C3: Helltalons ground attack and breaks the Scouts on the left.

C4: The Knights tries to engage the Tacticals to regain control of their Blitz, but fails. They move to protect a T&H.

End of game: At this point Chaos are almost out of activations. The Chaos Thunderhawk tries an air assault to break the Tacticals, but the Tacticals wins the roll-off. Marines hack down the broken Chaos BTS with multiple air units and the left T&H is secured by the Predators.

Marines win by 3-0 (Blitzkrieg, Break Their Spirit & Take and Hold)
