After a crazy and tragic week at work I was beat Thursday and Friday so no modeling done. 

Saturday was Pre Order pick up and Game Day.

Hit the store picked my order and Drove to meet Entopmancer for our 1750 pt game of his Primaris Iron Hands vs Order of the Valorous Heart.

His forces consisted of :

Iron Father Ferrios

Techmarine  (Warlord)

Redemptor Dreadnought

Iron Clad Dreadnought

Regular Dreadnoguht

Contemptor Dreadnought

Intercessors with Bolt Rifles

Intercessors with Assautlt Botlers

Heavy Intercessors with the Hellstrom Bolters/ Heavy Bolters

Gladitor Lancer

Firestrike Servo turret.

Vs

Canoness (Warlord)

Palatine

Celestian squad

Imagifer

Hospitaler

Repentia squad

Repentia Superior

3x Battle Sister squads

Dominion squad

Seraphim squad

Retributor squad

Exorcist

Immolator

2 Rhinos

The mission had 6 objectives and who ever had the most at end of the game would win. 

I won the roll for first drop and eventually the first turn also.  With our forces deployed it was time to start the game. 

Turn 1 - Top: Exorcist dropped Gladitor Lancer to 2 wds remaining HKs scratched paint.  2 Objectives claimed each, And I am sitting near 2

                Bottom: Lancer repairs, Dreadnoughts shoots the crap out of immolator destroying it and leaving Canonness and Celestians stranded. Celestians die to bolter fire. Rhino dies leaving Repentia and Superior near the objective. 2 Objectives each, 2 objectives contested. 

Turn 2 - Top: Repentia and Superior move to protect the canonness and charge dreadnought. Seraphim deepstrike and unload in to Firestrike servo turret leaving it with 2 wds remaining. Exorcist kills Lancer 2 Objectives for me, 1 Contested and 3 for Entropmancer.

                Bottom: 2nd rhino blown up., dropping Battle Sister squad in range of objective. Wall of intercessors open up and gut a battle sister squad. Tecehmarine charges in to melee, Dreadnought charges sisters and Iron Clad guns down all but 2 seraphim. Retributors killed except for 1 heavy bolter gunner One Repenita remaining along with Superior and Canonness vs Techmarine. 3 objectives each.

Turn 3 (last turn do to time) - Top: Seraphim charge turret, battle sister squad reforms to hold objective, Dominions and Exorcist kill Redemptor dreadnought. Melee all sisters wiff except for the Canoness putting wounds on techmarine. Superior dies in return attack. Dreadnought kills some sisters in the other melee. Entropmancer 1 objective, 1 uncontested, 1 Contested Objective and 3 Objectives for me.

                                                 Bottom: Intercessors move  to claim uncontested ojective, Firstrike Servo turret kill seraphim from shooting. Intercessors kill Dominions. Battle Sister Superior wounds dreadnought, Repentia Dies, Techmarine and Canoness wound each other. 3 Obejctives each. 

Game Ends in a Draw:  I would have lost. Probably in Turn 5 maybe turn 4

Take aways: 

1.  Not knowing codex as it was just released slowed game down and caused abilites and rules forgotten. 
2. Imagifer was in a bad spot and did nothing all game.
3. Palatine should have moved up and not stayed by retributors. 
4. I forgot about my Hospitaler.
5. I forgot alot of my special rules. 
6. Exorcist was a beast.
7. Repentia taking 3 hits from Dread in melee and surviving it.....Awesome

So overall happy with my list. I need to make a cheat sheet of rules so I can remember them.
