Seems to me you had the ideal army to play against this chaos horde, you just
designed it wrong. Against an army of this size, with this many BIG POWER
SHOTS a turn, you need to focus more on numbers for your army. With a Orc
type attitude, taking many many troops and small things, you should have him
wasting his plasma destuctor and DS cannon shots against your pitiful infantry.
