Summary
 
That was very bloody game…The necron palyer had some bad luck with the DTT, double rolled and so lost his BTS, if that hadn’t happen, then there would have been a turn 4..

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..
