Victory Conditions
| Victory Condition | Iyanden 4.2 | Codex Astartes |
| 1. Blitz | Yes | no |
| 2. Break their sprit | Yes | Yes |
| 3. Defend the Flag | Yes | no |
| 4. Take and Hold | No | no |
| 5. They Shall not Pass | NO | no |
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…I believe this is not need but, other may think differently..
The SPIRIT WRAITHLORD WARHOST can be fun to use and has wised investment in most games.
