I played a quick game at 6:20 today at my local GW, though didnt get even turns, damn closing at 6. He got his turn 7 I didnt, but that will come in later.
We both chose our army lists, he had an Anti-Personel squad of 3 Heavy Bolters, a Platoon, of 3 squads with Missile Launchers, HQ with all Lasguns, and a HQ with Laspistols and close combat weapons, with a power weapon on the Junior Officer. As I was running an Inquisition army, I didnt have to take a HQ (Imposible for Daemonhunters in 40k in 40 minutes), so i took 2 squads of Inquisitorial Stormtroopers, all basic 10 man squads with 2 plasma guns each, an Anti-Personel squad of 3 Autocannons and a Special Weapons squad of 3 snipers.
He set up first and got the first turn, after rolling Annihilation and Standard deployment. He set his Heavy Bolters up in a building, with a squad from the platoon next to it, along with the platoon HQ. The other two squads were on top of a hill, with the Army HQ behind it. I set my Autocannons behind a building, out of site of his Heavy Bolters, with my scouts on the right flank behind another building, also out of view of the Heavy Bolters. Behind the same building as the Autocannons, were the two squads of Stormtroopers.
Turn 1
In his first turn, he moved his Heavy Bolters into position to fire upon my Stormtroopers when they came around the building, and moved his Command squad forwards, ran them forwards in the shooting phase. He focused all three missile launchers on the Autocannons, which took out 2 of the six men, both loaders. In my turn, I moved the Stormtroopers closer to the building, and closer to the edge, ready to unleash the emperors wrath upon the guard. I shot my 3 snipers at the closest platoon squad, taking out 2 of them, as they gained a 4+ cover save from some rocks, with the Autocannons firing upon the Command Squad, taking out one of the close combat specialists running with the Junior Officer.
Turn 2
he moved no one, but ran his command squad back behind cover, as he didnt want to suffer another round of shooting from the auto cannons. He proceeded to shoot at the first Stormtrooper squad with the heavy bolters. as one of the men was slightly out of cover, he died. Again, he fired his Missile Launchers at the Autocannons, taking out the last loader. I moved the Stormtroopers out of cover and just into sight of the Heavy Bolters, running them forwards as they werent in range. again I shot at the squad, taking out just 1 man from the snipers, and 2 more with the Autocannons.
Turn 3
Moving his command squad forwards again, he ran it into the cover of a bridge, out of sight of both my autocannons, and my snipers. He opened up with his Heavy Bolters, killing a total of 8 Stormtroopers. lukily, I kept the Plasma Guns. I moved forwards with the Stormtroopers again, this time into rapid fire range with the two plasma guns of squad one, and the plasma guns and one hellgun of squad two. I suceeded in killing one of my own men due to over heating, 3 loaders and one Heavy Bolter.
Turn 4
He moved his Command Squad onto the bridge, and left it there in cover. His Missile Launchers killed one of my Autocannons, and the rest of the first squad of Storm Troopers. His Heavy Bolters this time only killed two of the second squad before being wiped out by one plasma gun, and rapid firing hellguns. my Autocannons took out one of the Command squad, with the Snipers taking out the other two.
Turn 5
He moved his Junior Officer into range for a laspistol shot of the snipers, which didnt kill anyone, and his second command squad into view of the Stormtroopers. His missiles took out the other two Autocannons, and his officer charged into combat, killing two of the spotters. In return, they killed him in a flurry of bayonets.
Turn 6
he moved his command squad closer, and with his shooting, took out the last Autocannon, before charging into combat with the Command squad, killing one person, before loosing two in return. He broke, and fled 6 inches, and I suceeded in catching him. I moved my Stormtroopers into range to shoot into the squad that was by the Heavy Bolter building, killing one person. my snipers caused no more wounds.
Turn 7
In his final turn, he needed to wipe me out, otherwise I would win, so he moved his squad into place and fired off 16 shots into the Stormtroopers, (he claimed that giving someone a heavy bolter doesn't mean they lose the lasgun, as it doesnt say that it is replaced in the rules.) he killed all but two of my men, who broke and fled, but not off the board. He also took out the last of the spotters.
Result: Victory for the combined forces of the 501st and the 131st.
My Kill Points: 5 (2 officers, two command squads, and Heavy Bolter squad.
His Kill Points: 2 (Autocannon squad, and Stormtrooper squad)

Deamonhunters cant field a HQ unit, which gave me less units, and therefore the oponent less potential kill points.
