Summary
 
So called on turn two, the Codex Astartes had lost about 4 formation from wipe outs and two not rally at the end of the turn sealed his coffin. He also didn’t help himself by throwing some formation away either.
 
Over all, I’m happy with how the Saim-Hann are going at the moment..Also the list was over by 25 points. Oh shit, I‘m human and not a @#$%$ robot..
 
Regards
Greg
