This game took place immediately after the other. The Space Wolves player I had played a few games with before decided to go in for Grey Knights rather than Space Wolves, so while he was a familiar opponent I had never played against GK. This match was at 500 points.

We rolled up dawn of war again, but with annihilation this game, which scared me a bit considering I was going to be running 7 KP against 3. My opponent rolled to deploy first and set his inquisitor up in some tall ruins but kept one of his two troops in DOW reserve for a reason I can't remember and other in real reserve. I started as far up as I could.
TURN 1
His troops roll on and don't shoot, while the inquistor tries but his shots go wide into the night.
My third razorback rolls on far away, for yet another reason I don't really remember. Acute senses allows the two heavy bolters to land three wounds on the terminators, who save them all.
TURN 2
The second squad of terminators deep strikes and scatters a scant inch away from difficult terrain but the psycannon in the squad makes no hits, while the other puts enough bad holes into a heavy bolter that the grey hunters decided to use it as their new whiffle bat at the next company picnic.
On my turn, the rune priest scuttles away into the cover of the ruins, where he proceeds to play with his shiny axe. The other razorbacks finally discover the rubber bullets Logan put in their heavy bolters last April Fools.
TURN 3
The teleporty terminators finally rip through the nearby razorback and cause it to explode, taking a grey hunter with it. The other squad weathers a hail of psycannon and storm bolter fire only to find two of their comrades taking dirt naps, though they pass their morale test with flying colors, and thankfully they are far outside assault range.
Movement sees the most damage of the game when the bolterless razorback tank shocks some terminators who fall back 2". The rune priest's squad and second GH squad pin no wounds onto the scurrying Grey Knights, however the grey hunters on the far left knock out two terminators with bolter fire and a melta shot after deciding that getting into assault with them would be loads of fun.
Silly grey hunters.
TURN 4
The terminators continue to fall back like 10", putting them within 2" of the board edge. Thankfully he forgets that you can shoot while falling back, though the other squad drops two of the hunters in front of them, and they sadly pass their morale check.
He assaults and barely manages three wounds while mine all whiff after passing counter attack, netting a solid 3" consolidate.
I focus fire on the 3-squad of GKT and finish them off in an impressive display of bolter fire and six lightning bolts. The melta whiffed.
TURN 5
The GKT walk off the board and the inquistor takes a pot shot at the razorback below it but whiffs. I manage to down him with a combination of lightning, melta and bolter fire.
RESULTS
I tabled my opponent for 3 KP, while he killed off a grey hunter squad and its razorback for only 2 KP, giving me the win.
MVP: Razorback #1. Killing a 220 point unit of terminators with a 40 point tank is something I really shouldn't expect to do every game.
Hero of the Match: The grey hunter squad that slingshotted the second terminator squad right into oblivion. It was a stupid idea but it did pay off since I was just outside rapid fire range. I got lucky.
We had a gem of a quote at the beginning of the game when my opponent told me that my grey hunters would likely win in close combat against his terminators. When I mentioned the fact that they were all kitted with force weapons and would be striking first, he shrugged--all this with a straight face. Mad props.
