Summary
Well that could have went better, I was look at the point killed and I was in front, but goal wise I was not. It may have went to turn four if my lone walker had rally and I had contested the TAH goal on the Thousand sons. May have had a different result with the extra turn. So I guess a rematch is on..
As to the FIR IOLARION ELDAR TITAN CLAN and the changes made in 4.2.1:
-
The single Revenant Titan restriction could be more like the Guardians restriction set at 1 for every 1500 points.
-
List building is fairly straight forward with the 1 to 3 restriction.
-
Happy to see the increase points on some of the weapons and the Single Weapon System charge.
As always more play testing is needed against different opponents, before any changes are made..
Regards
Greg
