Looks like just about every space wolf list out there. 

Mission:
Primary: Kill Points
Secondary: Table Quarters 
Tertiary: Objectives
My army is hard to get Kill Points from and I can almost always win a Kill Point mission.
Deployment: Dawn of War
He wins the dice roll to go first and sets up with a couple of units.

Here is my set up:



Turn #1

Space Wolf Turn #1
Space Wolves roll on the board. Draigo taunts them!

Grey Knight Turn #1
Draigo readies himself for carnage!
Turn #2

Space Wolf Turn #2
He moves forward. He gets his scouts on and comes in behind the Draigo. 
Grey Knight Turn #2
I get a dreadnaught on and pop some shots at a razorback. Draigo senses someone nearby and goes and kills some scouts.  

Turn #3

Space Wolf Turn #3
Draigo finishes off the scouts.


Grey Knight Turn #3
I get my Paladins on and they go to the hill on the right, my Strike Squad is in the center with Driago, and another Dreadnaught. I hate to deepstrike, but I had a few servo-skulls around and I came down behind the hill. I start to unload on him and take out a couple of rhinos 
Turn #4

Space Wolf Turn #4
He shoots a gun off of a dread. 
Grey Knight Turn #4
I get the rest of my army on and keep killing vehicles. 

Turn #5

Space Wolf Turn #5
He moves his Long Fangs to the left to gets some better shots.

Grey Knight Turn #5
I move my army to the right so they do not get shot by the Long Fangs.

This is where the pictures end. Basicly I shot him up for several turns and I won by a comfortable KP margin.

Jeff certainly was a nice guy, but not what you would call invitational material. I guess he qualified in an RTT and he did his best, but you need to be a little better player to compete at this level.That Space Wolf army is good, but it is not going to win by itself against someone who knows what they are doing.
