Biel-Tan Craftworld (NetEA 4.2) Vs. Steel Legion (v2014) Take 2

 

Well it Friday night again and we manage another epic game…

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 19

The game was 3000 points and was between Biel-Tan Craftworld (NetEA 4.2) played by Trent Vs. Steel Legion (v2014) played by Me

Summary

Well that was very interesting game. I’m enjoying the second game on the Friday, since it allows me to play the other side. I think that the SL winning the SR on the second turn, really tip the game in the SL favour.

1) SoV-  This was not used at all in this game.

2) Warlock and farsight- This was not used at all in this game.

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