Looks like I am joining you in the next round. I had a great game Tom, thanks. It was cool bouncing loads of ideas off each other as we played.
We were both nervous to commit, well I was, at the start and a great round three for me was compounded turn 4 and 5 to a tabling when the resurrection protocols got scarabled.
Highlights for me where a squad of wraiths potentially running down Big Z, Tom's Warlord, turn 3 when they won combat but his bodyguard Vargard Obyron who stayed in combat to allow his liege lord to escape. The wraiths got lucky and made something like 6 out of 7 saves vs. Obyron's cleaving counter blow 10 attacks and decked him and caught up with Big Z to finish him off over a couple of turns. The last man/beast standing was a lone plucky scarabs fighting a unit of necron warriors who only had two members of their squad with any amour left due to entropic wounds.
VP's 14 : 1 (only one warriors squad with attached StormTek downed. Alot more under half strength)
FB, LB and KtW where mine and not conceded.
My losses where
Both wraith squads under half size or less for half points 215 Pts
5 man warrior squad lead by StormTek killed out right 90 Pts
5 man warrior squad lead by StormTek under half size for half points 45Pts
1 barge with two hull points down half points 45 Pts
Points Diff 395 : 1750
I am thinking about eating my words now with changes to my list. I guess I have a while to think about them.
