Summary

Well fun game..So the Skitarii 2.05 list was done by Norto and I thought I would take it out for a run.

Most of the guys though it would do well against Infantry forces and that true. If Knights didn’t make so many saves, then it might have been different story…Both forces were low activation count, so losing formation or having them broken was not good…

I still think the Ordinatus Minorus could still do with the option of having a upgrade of another Ordinatus Minorus..

Summary

 

Very interesting game if not bloody..SM had lost both Warhounds formations and scout formation that was of little use…The same could not be said about the HGM, by the end of turn 2, I had no leaders on the table..He would do enough hits and I would fail the bloody armour saves…  

I still find the list a challenge to play as pure HGM..so may start taking it with allies and see if there difference....
