Voidmarines Defeat Dark Angels

My ever-popular, purple Voidmarines score a victory over the drop-pod assault Dark Angels in an Alpha seek and destroy mission. I proved to have enough guns to hurt my opponent so severely that he was incapable of taking out enough of my sparse scoring units to win the game.

For those who don't know my jargon, I won the mission using the following logic. Warhammer 40k is played to an agreed points value (2000 in this case) spent on units and transports. An alpha seek and destroy mission's objective is to have more units alive than your opponent at the end of six turns of play. However, transports and armored personnel carriers do not count as separate scoring units from the squads to which they are attached. My army had eight heavily armed armored personnel carriers, called "Razorbacks" totaling 450 out of 2000 points of my army. That's a lot of points dedicated to units whose survival is irrelevant to victory in this particular mission. However, my Razorbacks mount heavy firepower, and are a considerable threat to kill his scoring units. Using the threat of the razorbacks to my advantage, I was able to draw enough shots off my squads and onto the razorbacks while simultaneously using the razorbacks to do enough damage on his scoring units to eliminate his chances to win. At the end of the mission, I had six scoring units to his two, and six razorbacks.

Here's a copy of my army list:
