Victory Conditions

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


Summary
 
Well that was very enjoyable game..Through it would end up coming down to count back, but I manage to get there in the end….
 
The list feel right with the 1:2 ratio and is the best way for the future of the list.
 
The wraith blades are best suit in vampires or coming through a portal. although lacking a FF limited their use.
 
The animated construct rule didn’t come into play again…
 
Regards
Greg
