This time out, I ran with the squats while my friend fielded his space marines.
I was reaching a bit to hit 750 but was eager to get squats on the table for my first time in many, many, years.
I had a warlord with power axe and bolt pistol (represented by one of the unreleased second edition cyberslayers) and four hearthguard (two with plasma guns). They rode in a rhino graciously lent by my friend. I had a squad with a missile launcher and a lascannon, and another with a plasma gun. Both were lead by a hearthguard with plasma pistol (lots of plasma, a modeling more than a tactical choice). Needing to hit 750, I used an unpainted trike with heavy plasma cannon and three allied space minotaurs (ogryn with ripper guns).
The space marines consisted of two large squads and captain. Spread between the squads were a flamer (possibly heavy flamer? It never fired), heavy plasma cannon, and heavy bolter. The captain had a bolt pistol and power fist.
The middle of the board was clogged with line of sight blocking buildings, with less dense terrain on either side. Squats deployed with the brotherhood squads on the least dense side (the right), space minotaurs in the middle, and vehicles on the left.
Marines deployed second, in a clump directly facing the brotherhood squads.
