The Deployment:
Bloodletters and Bloodmaster in reserves. 100 points for reinforcements.

Death Guard Turn 1:
I advance the drones, a Daemon Prince and the Poxwalkers. One of the drones splits a couple of blue Horrors into Brimstones. Crawler and Hauler shoot at the Soul Grinder but all saves were successful.

Chaos Daemons Turn 1:
Daemonettes assault assault a squad of Poxwalkers and leave only one alive. A Daemon Prince kills one of my Daemon Princes. Second Daemon Prince assaults the Pornmower (drone with Fleshmower) but inflicts only a couple of wounds. Bloodletters destroy the Crawler.

Death Guard Turn 2:
Drones kill all the Bloodletters. Daemonettes kill the last Poxwalker. Pornmower almost kills the Daemon Prince.

Chaos Daemons Turn 2:
Horrors kill a few Poxwalkers. Daemonettes kill the Pornmower and with the help of the Daemon Prince they take down the Myphitic Blight-hauler.

Death Guard Turn 3:
Drones transform the Daemonettes into Poxwalkers, that kill the Daemon Prince. My Daemon Prince kills the second Daemon Prince.

Chaos Daemons Turn 3:
Horrors and Soul Grinder kill a lot of Poxwalkers.

Death Guard Turn 4:
Drones kill a lot of Horrors and the Daemon Prince kills the Herald of Slaanesh

Chaos Daemons Turn 4:
Soul Grinder inflicts a few wounds on one of the Drones.

Death Guard Turn 5:
One of the drones kills the Warlord, one kills the Horrors and one gets in combat with the Soul Grinder. Daemon Prince chases and kills the Bloodmaster.

Chaos Daemons Turn 5:
Soul Grinder kills the Drone. Brimstone Horrors grab the objective by assaulting the Daemon Prince. One Brimstone dies from the Relic and the Daemon Prince is out of combat.

Death Guard Turn 6:
Daemon Prince fails to kill all the Brimstones and the Soul Grinder kills another Drone.

Chaos Daemons Turn 6:
Soul Grinder assaults the last Drone but fails to kill it. Remaining Herald summons some Brimstone Horrors to secure an objective. Other Brimstones disengage combat, but in range of the objective.

Game end after turn 6 with a score Death Guard 5 - 7 Chaos Daemons.
I was a nice game, tight combat, odds going back and forth. I could have ensured victory by killing the Brimstone Horrors with Drones and not to leave them to the Soul Grinder to wreck them.
