Summary

Most enjoyable game. The memorable moments for me was,

  • Have the Scions of Iron commander forget the terminators for 3+ turns, only to get them on the table and roll double one when trying to activate them….
  • Combat to take out the Scions of Iron BTS.

As to the Knights

  • Dropping the Shock Lance from the Lancer was spot on. I didn't miss having it..
  • The Baron only gets a Shock Lance when it has a Power Gauntlet. I forgot about this and so cant comment on it.
  • I’m also glad the point cost have stayed the same, as in the last version of the Knights list.

Plan is to take the same list out again, against a ATML list on Friday…..

May the dice roll high for you.

Greg
