Legio Gryphonicus Vs Biel-Tan Craftworld (NetEA v4.2)

Well It Saturday again and we manage yet 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 this morning against the Necrons… The Atml didn’t support his formations and it allow me to kill them off one by one. I was very lucky on the Reaver Titan, all my shoots hit when using the SoV and then when using the EoV, got all my hits again and he failed all his armour saves..…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 did use the warlock as the entry point for the Avatar, But I didn't use him, since there were no targets…

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

Anyways have another report to go up after this one….
