(Yes, copied straight from the document I printed out for each opponent.  He typed it, as you can see, not in my usual list-style.)

The second half is mine.  Remember, the restrictions imposed.  To recap ;

1) Each player must have 1 HQ, and 1 Troop.
2) To take a 2/3 Elite/FA/HS, you must have 1/2 of each of the other two - eg, one Elite, one FA and one HS in order to choose a second of any of the above, and 3 HS requires at least 2 Elites and 2 FA.
3) Both players use a combined FoC, with those restrictions applied army-wide.
4) Despite the usual Doubles Pack, no benefit was given to players from the same Codex.
5) I refused to buy TH/SS and LRs, because I wanted a non-gimmicky list I could feel comfortable using for some time.  Value for money, after all.

We felt the MotF was necessary for the Ruin-boosting on Telion's unit, for some measure of survivability.  Also, the relative dearth of Daemon lists and things that Null Zone would affect was a factor.  Knowing the local player base to a reasonable extent theoretically worked in our favour, as there was little there that was a surprise.  Sadly, we hit the only real two surprise packages that were any good - more on that later.

So, pics of the army.

Please remember, my models are not fully painted, because I am lazy, and because I was ill.  Mark takes a LOOOOONNNNGGGGGG time to paint models to completion.  His finished Dreads, Rhino and Predator look great - the Tacticals and Scouts also rather excellent, but it means this army will take him at least a year to finish.  And it's 1000 points.  And he's been painting it a year already.  lol

We don't want the lists, we want tales of your exceptional cunning and tactical ability, tales of your masterful manoeuvres and tales of you using your strategic foresight to snatch defeat from the very jaws of victory Lol!

Like I did on the Sunday.
