Victory Conditions

1. Blitz Yes no
2. Break their sprit Yes Yes
3. Defend the Flag Yes no
4. Take and Hold No no
5. They Shall not Pass Yes no


Summary
 
Another fun and interesting game. When facing the steel legion, I tend to target the artillery early, if i can..
 

Anyway on to other things..(Yes no change from last time)

1) I feel the Iyanden list is pretty stable at this point and I can see no glaring issues when using it.

2) I also feel the points cost are pretty spot on.

3) The list feel right with the 1:2 ratio.

4) The wraith blades are best suit in vampires or coming through a portal. Although lacking a FF limited their use, for supporting fire.

5) The Wraith lord formation is worth the 350 points..

6) I think dropping the AC rule was the right thing to do…

look want turned up on my front door today

There was a nock on my door today and a Friend bought this best over, so that i could have it. To add to my terrain collection..It need to have some stuff done to it, but I think will work well as a Crash space ship for epic…There are some shots showing it on the table with some of the Desert terrain I'm doing…
