Summary

 

If time hadn’t run out, then it well would have been a win to the WORLD Eaters 3.8. I feel the WE3.8 list is pretty stable at this point and i can see no glaring issues when facing it. I would like a few more games to see how some of the other units perform..

 

May the dice roll high for you.
