The Plan
Siam-Hann Craftworld: The plan for me was to take out the DEATHSTRIKE MISSILE BATTERY&VULTURE SQUADRON and after seeing his deployment, thought of flying into that much lead with the VAMPIRE HUNTERS was not on the cards. So I looked at how I could cut the AA coverage and once I had done that, I would then send in the VAMPIRE HUNTERS.The i would contain the the rest of the army in their half of the table …But I see how I go and whether the dice gods smile on me..
Steel Legion: I was hoping to hold the onslaught and protect my assets over all. So I put the formation I thought would be high on the Siam Hann’s hit list under the cover of AA and yes it would mean, I would end up with formation in less then 5 cms of each other.If by chance I go first turn, then the DEATHSTRIKE MISSILE BATTERY was going to target the Storm Serpent, the last thing i need is to have that thing in my deployment zone and dropping loads of jetbike off.
