Summary

 

Oh yeah…Wow, in all my time test armies I have never gone to a turn 5 in Epic A…The game was see-saw, just when I think I was getting in front,he would find way to contest or break something to stuff my plans up…

 

I was trying to work a flank and move down it and clear out formations as I went, it kind of worked, in that pulled formations to that flank. The big thing in some cases was dice rolling, I would roll 12 dice and get 1 hit, john would or wouldn't make the armour save and then John would roll low on the resolution and I would either roll well or just beat him..So yeah I would love rematch of this game against john again..at some point in the far off distance future….

 

So thanks John for the fun and interesting game..

 

Tomb blades did their job again, fine that using the portal on the Monoliths or Night scythes a big boost to them..If you choose the right target too, they general can win their combat..if not, then it not to much of points sink if you don’t

 

Feed back from Joh…..

 

Necron Sautekh Legion (Developmental V1.1) Army faced:

1….Did any of the test-list's units appear overpowered? Did any of the test-list's units appear under powered?

This seemed to be a fair and balanced list. 

2…..Would you change the costs of any units?

No

3….Did this list appear substantially better than the primary army of its 40K race, or simply a different spin on the army? Was it clear that the test list had weaknesses to offset strengths, and vice versa?

This list seemed to be balanced and measured.

4….Did this list play like a one-trick-pony (all air assault, all amour, all CC etc)… If yes, was that thematically accurate to the army's background?

No

5….On a scale of 1 to 10, how happy would you be to see this become and official army list?
