Summary
 
I was very lucky to get the first two turns..Could have been a total differant story if the Emperor's Children. Any ways on to other things
 

Jink save: I think I made... only about three today..It feels fine to use and there were times today were I was thankful for having it..

Scout Rider Troupe: I find them useful, but they need some stress testing. Just to see if there are any issues.

HORNETS: Hornets: 4 for 200 seems good. They hit hard, but are very very fragile if targeted, which is as it should be…

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
