Summary
 
That was fun…
 
Ok onto other things..
 
1) WRAITHBLADE- Well the 3+ to hit and MW seams to help, although lacking a FF limited their use. I think the best transport method for these guys is the Vampire…
 
2) THE 1:2 CHANGE:  Ok hopefully the list is correct this time, after having three bad runs..The 1:2 make the list easier to build and i still think it dampens the theme a bit..
 
3) The animated construct rule didn’t come into play again…
 
Regards
Greg
