Summary
Well that went well, not..The over all plan was to push down the flank with the 2 Phantoms and the Wraithlords. I need to get turn two and yep, I didn't get it.. Not winning most of the engagements, meant I was on the back foot.I think the highlight was the WRAITHLORD TROUPE, talk about taking the heat..I think in the end my opponent got fixated on them, but if they had rallied I would have contested a couple of objective markers with them..
Over all I feel the Phantom needs o have the power fist by default, to give it a boost..But we will see in the next game…
Tremor Cannon did it job ok, but more testing is needed..
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.
Regards
Greg
