Victory Conditions

Victory Condition Iyanden 4.2 Codex Astartes
1. Blitz no no
2. Break their sprit no no
3. Defend the Flag Yes no
4. Take and Hold No no
5. They Shall not Pass no no


Summary
 
That was fun…If we had gone to turn four, I may have pick 2 more points, if I was lucky…Britt, marching forces into my deployment zone, meant I need to clear them out and so basically put the battle plan behind a turn or turn or 2.
 
Ok onto other things..
 
1) WRAITHBLADE- Well the 3+ to hit and MW seams to help, although lacking a FF limited their use.
 
2) THE 1:2 CHANGE: OK its easy to build a list and makes the army seam little lest Iyanden themed. Now in saying that, I’ve have four games were I was using the 1:1 and there were lots of Wraithguard and I never had a problem building a list etc. Todays list had the Warlock, which was 850 points. I will be taking the list out again on Friday I hope…
 
3) The animated construct rule didn’t come into play again…
