Biel-Tan (NetEA 4.2) vs.Codex Astartes (NetEA 2014) Take 2

Well It Friday night 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 13

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

Summary

Well that was very fun game. That’s how you do it….I must say my luck was not great, since I had engage actions were I didn’t wound or make armour saves. So yeah after having the warlock save 7 MW saves in one roll, it was like wow, ok I'm going to lose this one, it was nice to get back in and kick the warlock butt later…

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 Avatar was no summon……

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

Regards

Greg
