Biel-Tan Craftworld (NetEA 4.2) vs. Codex Astartes (NetEA Tournament Pack 2014)

Well It Friday and we manage another game of epic…So 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

Game 12

The game was 3000 points and was between Biel-Tan Craftworld (NetEA 4.2) Vs.Codex Astartes (NetEA Tournament Pack 2014)

Ok couple of things

1) I didn't play Eldar and I played SM

2) I didn't make the list for BT4.2

1. Blitz	no	NO
2. Break their sprit	no	no
3. Defend the Flag	no	no
4. Take and Hold	no	no
5. They Shall not Pass	no	No

Summary

Well that was very fun game. I think I should have gone for the throat more on turn one and sent in the other Thunderhawk to kill the EoV and break the Other SoV…arh well live and learn…

1) SoV-  Ok still believe the “Replace any number of Falcons with an equal number of Fire prisms for free”. is the right way to go.

2) Warlock and farsight- Well the warlock didn’t summon the AVARTAR this game…

3) EoV-  Ok still believe the “The second engine cost is now 200 points ”. is the right way to go.

Regards
