PFE100: Steel Legion (NetEA Army Compendium v2014) Vs Codex Astartes (NetEA Tournament Pack 2014)

FIRST GAME OF EPIC AT PEGASUS GAMES….

Well on Wednesday night had our first game up at the local gaming store, it’s the main night for the 40k players, anyways three weeks of saying to the guys I would like to demo the game. It was not a good night since, the flu/cold is going through the place and so we didn't have many turn to play 40k, but the few that did turn up, ask questions and watched. I’m planning on running it in a fortnights time again. So the report is below…
