Another enjoyable game..Although the number of six’s I rolled was a concern, I had Britt checking dice…I guess in the end he won’t be using termies any time soon..
Anyways on with it..
Changes made to the Alaitoc Ranger Warhost: They did want I expect from Rangers. The main concern is whether they have upgrade added and the points cost
Added War Walker Warhost: Like all LV they do come with their disadvantage, and advantages. Again it weather they need to have upgrades added and the points cost
Formation change on Nightwings and points cost: They seem to work fine, in the last two games. The points cost is the main factor 225, more testing is needed.
Formation change on Phoenix Bombers and points cost: They seem to work fine, in the last two games. The points cost is the main factor 275, more testing is needed.
Phoenix Bombers had stat change on BP weapon: I didn’t want a 6BP Disrupt formation and so thought 4 BP Disrupted was better option. So the best way was to drop the size and small points drop and increase the BP.
Pathfinders: They didn’t do much today, apart from hold the blitz briefly
