Legio Gryphonicus (NetEA v3.24) V’s Biel-Tan Craftworld (NetEA v4.2)

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 14

The game was 3000 points and was between Biel-Tan Craftworld (NetEA 4.2) Vs.Legio Gryphonicus (NetEA v3.24)

Ok couple of things

1) I didn't play Eldar and I played Legio Gryphonicus

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

Summary

Well that was very interesting game. Must say was not expecting to get three critical on the warlock and it was great help to the cause….

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 again……

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

Regards

Greg
