Victory Conditions

Victory Condition Iyanden 4.2.4 Hive Fleet Onachus Tyranids
1. Blitz NO no
2. Break their sprit NO NO
3. Defend the Flag NO no
4. Take and Hold No no
5. They Shall not Pass NO no


Summary
 
Well that was interesting. Trent's armours saves were bloody terrible, I though I was the only one that could do that stuff in our group.
 
My plan was to punch a hole in the centre and turn a flank, which did work. It was a hell of risk to take, since it would mean I needed to go first in turn 2..Well I got my wish…
 
The tyranid player at the end of turn 2 had 5 activations and though he could not stop the Iyanden tidal wave…So it was only a two turn game….
 
 
On to other things..
 
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.
