Thoughts, the contemptor works as flyer defence (but only if it survives, if your HQ had got in behind it could have been very different) 1 flyer died to interceptor, the second lost hull points and then a Tac marine downed it with a grenade as it came too close to the ruin it was in (nice cinematic moment). all in all i think its ok to use. i still wonder about using two though...
Ork blobs, nasty, not good at anything, but the sheer weight of numbers 30 vs 5, took down one squad of terminators.
10 man terminator squad was effective but could have been more so if the Black knights had lived longer. splitting fire stripped a couple of hull points off your barges? (not sure what they were) and the mass of storm bolters worked, having the libby with them was useful. but other than that they did what they were meant to, slaughtered your big guns before they did anything, captured an objective and shrugged off the majority of fire.
Black knights, shame 4 died in the opening salvo, they could have done so much more if i'd been able to use the -1T grenade on your Ork blob. still, the one remaining guy needs a promotion! taking on an Ork blob running them off and slaughtering what was left, then charging the barges. Give that man a banner.
The Tac squads did exactly what they needed to, held my back line and shot anything that came in range.
Fun game and i think a draw was the fairest result. thanks for being patient on what everything was in your army!
I enjoyed. Good to meet the Dark Angels
