Victory Conditions
| Victory Condition | Iyanden 4.2.4 | Steel Legion |
| 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 | Yes | no |
Anyway on to other things..(Yes no change from last time)
1) I feel the Iyanden list is pretty stable at this point and I can see no glaring issues when using it.
2) I also feel the points cost are pretty spot on.
3) The list feel right with the 1:2 ratio.
4) The wraith blades are best suit in vampires or coming through a portal. Although lacking a FF limited their use, for supporting fire.
5) The Wraith lord formation is worth the 350 points..
6) I think dropping the AC rule was the right thing to do…
look want turned up on my front door today
There was a nock on my door today and a Friend bought this best over, so that i could have it. To add to my terrain collection..It need to have some stuff done to it, but I think will work well as a Crash space ship for epic…There are some shots showing it on the table with some of the Desert terrain I'm doing…
