Hope you don't mind some constructive criticism JJ, I think you need to spread out your men more, I was massacring them with frag blasts and flamers. Also because you deployed your defence line so far back, I could claim most objectives without getting within 24" of your gun line, this meant I effectively reduced your firepower and meant (most of) my DW survived. It's quite amazing how quickly termies will die to rapid fire weapons and you have a lot of those so I think your list is fine, you just need to spread out and try and be a bit less defensive, at least in that type of mission. If the CCS in the Chimera had been supported by maybe 2 vet squads moving forward my DW on that side would have had a harder time of it - there were only 3 termies left from two squads on that flank. Lastly I would have targetted the attack bikes with your manticore, they do little to the DW being ap4 but instant kill the 2W attack bike if it fails a save, which were not only worth 1VP each but would have stopped me scoring two of the objectives. That or plop a fat juicy one on Belial's head and hope you get lucky and instant death him for slay the warlord.
My list has a low amount of rapid fire weapons (6 stormbolters and 8 tl bolters) so really the only means other than CC I have to deal with your men is the frag blasts and the flamers. If you'd have moved to 24" to 18" range in skirmish formation (ala Sharpe's light rifle company) there would have been more dead termies and less dead vets.

Cheers
Looked at JJ's list and i think i killed 1170pts of stuff.
JJ had left: an aegis defence line (85), two hydra flak tanks (190), a melta vet squad (105), a plasma vet squad (130) and under half a plasma vet squad (65) which comes to 575. Take that away from 1745 comes to 1170.
Sorted mate
Just while I remember as well, Chris you're free to ammend your list up until the next round mate (see page 1 for the penalties for doing so)
