Expert rider rule:..It feels fine to use and there were times when I wish it would work more, but feels about right.I spoke to Dan again about it and he still didn’t have problem with it and thought it worked, since in the end the dice average out..
Scout Rider Troupe: Well they didn't kill much, I tried to use them to effect movement etc..which they did ok…
HORNETS: Again I think the 30 cm range on the hornets, feels about right. It does force you to move the formation more.So where's before you may have done a single move, you are now doing a double move..So a bit more though into its deployment is need etc..
The large formation: I don't have problem with them and I wondered if the UK hit any problems….Hang on, you say the UK is different in some respect and yes it is, but the main thing is their large wild riders can be as large as 13 stands (and 14 stands if SC is included) and the smallest is 9..
25/04- Yes two TYRANID SWARM(M) were on garrison, when they cant be under the garrison rules in the tyranid list, Dan want to try them as garrison, I explain I didn't have problem, but it may effect the testing. In the end it made the gaming interesting and I would like to try again at some point. My apologises for not adding a note..
