Summary
OK first turn was hair raising…
The SL legion list was going to have fun, with all AV list and people dropping into it back yard to. If I tweak the list, I would add some scout formation, to counter his drop pods..Over all the deployment was ok, was concern in having pie plate dropped and then the 9BP dropping on me and so spread the formation apart..Ok to the IW…
- The dropping of so many DREADNOUGHTS is going to cause some concern for the opponent and the other is the SR of the force it’s facing. We have found the same thing with the Iron hands and they don't really have any checks in place, apart from cost and you are force to buy 1+ Iron hand clan formation. Where's here you have the SIEGE ASSAULT 0-1 per Core formation restriction in the IW. I manage 4 formations today and tweaking the list could see 5 may be 6 formation dropping in. I’m concern and think the following may help…. 1) Rise the points cost of the DREADNOUGHT ASSAULT PACK, I think 225 is little cheap and 250 would be better. 2) Rise the points cost of the ARMOURED ASSAULT COMPANY, I think 275 would be better. Both increase will make it little harder in getting to land so many dreadnoughts..So if we look at the list today, I would have dropped the extra Vindicators and I’m still 80 points over the limit, so I would have dropped a DREADNOUGHT ASSAULT PACK and add another formation or upgrade to the value of 195 points.
- ORDINATUS MEDRENGARD, yeah will not been fearless, didn't help his cause today(yeah there were two time it should have moved in the game, when broken,but it didn't). I think two things need to happen 1) Points cost I think 575 to 600 points, 2) change the critical, so it only does a extra point of damage and not destroys the formation out right..
- I know I have not used the formation yet and have plan to run a list heavy with them..DEFILER ASSAULT PACK, I have found nothing, so far in the fluffy that would say they are core choice and think they would be better suited in the SIEGE SUPPORT 0-2 per Core formation section..but Yeah if some one can point to were it mention that Iron warriors use a shit load of them..then I will have rethink..

Greg
