Summary
 
Another fun game.
 
The SM player was unlucky with the orbit barrage, he pick it nicely, but failed to do the damage, otherwise if he had I would have been down 2 activations.. I would have in turn 2 teleported the TERMINATOR’s near the Blitz..As he explain wanted to cut down on the Artillery support.
 
Well the  Ulthwé Craftworld list work fine at SR4+..
 
BGWH- The +1int is the one that I would like to test more and I have another game line up tonight, all going well. Having the wraithguard in the formation over the last couple of games help them stay longer, still squishy Nyah-Nyah
 
May the dice roll high for you...
