Well Saturday and got a another game of Epic in. As always it was 5000 point per side and it was between Iyanden Craftworld V’s Codex Astartes (NetEA Tournament Pack 2013).
I Made the following changes, after playing the last game
- SPIRIT WARRIOR WARHOST was dropped in points.
- Troupes selection was 2 in stead of 3 for each warhost.
- ENGINE OF VAUL TROUPE was brought in line, points wise…
The Codex Astartes army was the same and the Iyanden Craftworld change since the drop in points on the SPIRIT WARRIOR WARHOST. This allowed me to add two more SPIRIT WARRIOR WARHOST on foot and I dropped the Wind rider troupe for a small scout Troupe.
Couple of other pointers…
- The terrain was the same setup from the last game
- Objective markers were also left in the same spot too.
Anyways on with the report…

Summary
Ok onto my thoughts,,
- The 300 points seams about right for the SPIRIT WARRIOR WARHOST at 4 stands. If used correctly they can take on bigger units.Although I'm think 6, is a better number for the foot WG and keep the smaller WG formation for the wave serpents…
- I do agree that the Spirit Seer needs to be looked at.
- I’m sure there other thing to say, but at the moment, I will digest the two games I have played…
May the dice roll high for you.
Regards
Greg
