Biel-tan 4.2 and Necrons (NetEA Tournament Pack 2013) Take 2

Well It Saturday again and we manage another game of epic…So we switch back to Biel-tan 4.2 testing.The following will be tested..

1) In the Strategy Phase of any turn place the Avatar within 15cm of a unit with the Farsight ability , before making a strategy roll. The Avatar counts as its own formation and may only enter play in this manner. In the End Phase of that turn remove the Avatar before rallying formations. Once the Avatar has been removed it may not return.

2) Swords of Vaul: Replace any number of Falcons with an equal number of Fire prisms for free.
3) Engine of Vaul: The second engine cost is now 200 points

Summary

Well that was interesting game. It was a far different game then the one on Friday… I forgot to place the Avatar and turn three, was the best time and near the Warlock, would have help greatly and may have taken two points off the Necrons and a Turn four…Any ways on to the other stuff

1) SoV- Well, I find it still better to take the falcon over the Fire prism IHMO and that statement wont change and I believe that it should be a free upgrade..

2) Warlock and farsight- Well I didn't get to use this since I didn’t place him on the table

3) EoV-  I don't see a great issue with the second vehicle begin 200 points.
