Right then...

I'll be deep striking the Terminators and the Lord, and since every unit has an icon I know I can do this accurately. They'll be my units of opportunity, appearing (hopefully) when ever a section of my battle line looks under threat.

With Night Fighting in effect one of the Grey knights main advantages Shrouding has been rendered impotent as NF overrides it so we both benefit/are hampered by the low average range of sight.
I'll power my units forwards in an attempt to claim the central building where I can then position my Havocs to rain destruction on anyone trying hide behind any close by cover with my Troops running interference, if possible I'd try to remove the Death Cult Assassins from the Battlefield before I dismount (if they infiltrate close to me that is).

The Land Raiders could be a problem but with the aforementioned limit on range, even if they weren't being used as troop transports they'd have to get close in and whilst they may take out a good number of my Rhinos...well hopefully by the time he's in range my Marines will have dismounted any way, and Lascannons aren't terribly useful for killing enough infantry per turn to secure victory. (plus if he tries to Tank Shock he will be coming up against units that are either fearless or have Ld9 with a re-roll)

I'll try and keep the Raptors out of harms way for the most part as they are going to be my rapid reaction force that will pounce on units that are already embroiled in combat, and force another unit off a loot counter (with 8 scoring units to my 11, 3 of his being vehicles which I imagine will be being used as transports) as he wont realistically have enough men to secure every counter, whilst in the dying moments I may have enough men left to snatch 1 away from him.

If need be I can create a line of rhinos (destroyed or not) as I have 7 of them, forcing LotB to divert around them to reach any loot counters (but preferably the building)- should stop his men making a concentrated effort on stealing the building away if I'm holding it, and if he's holding it? Well I'll allow the Berzerkers to do what they do best, Blood for the Blood God indeed
