    Summary

    Well was a interesting game, Brit didn’t know that he would be on a city board today, He didn’t think he would facing eldar either. I knew about the city board, the list is one i would have taken to cancon. I said to Britt bring a 3000 point force. So I thought I would be facing orks at a guess, before he turned up.

    Jink save: I think I made... only about two today..It feels fine to use and there were times when i wish it would work more, but feel its about right.

    Scout Rider Troupe: I find them useful, but they need some stress testing. Just to see if there are any issues. Today they were drag into combat by the avatar and they didn't do much, missing with all their hits.

    HORNETS: These guys didn't nothing today and basically will be area grabbers, were there are no AV to shoot at..

    FIREPRISMS:The new stats are working Ok and I don’t mind taking the unit out for a drive.

    I’m pretty happy with Saim-Hann, list at this point..

    Regards

    Greg
