My roommate and I played an 1850pt game last Saturday with the Guard losing by 1.5 points.
I played my usual 1850 list which consists of a well-supplied command platoon, a single large infantry platoon, an armoured fist, a squad of Vets, 2 demolishers and a basilisk
He played his "godzilla" list; which consisted of 2 Heavy Carnifex, 2 Elite Carnifex, a Hive Tyrant with 2 guards and a winged hive tyrant (not to mention other tyranid infantry silliness).
The first two turns were really going my way, I'd knocked out 2/3 of his synapse, a carnifex and the winged tyrant (amazing what IG gunlines can do).
But then he hit my front lines and it became apparent just how difficult the heavy carnifexes are to hurt; most guns do nothing. In the end he wiped me out totally and had just some monstrous creatures left.
Close game, but no win for me.
