Summary
 
That was a fun and crazy game, I though the way it was going it was going to be close and it was…

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…

May the dice roll high for you..

Regards
Greg

  1. Interesting battle report. I have just started using my Eldar again. Although I am using the Ulthwe list at the moment. I may give the Iyanden list a go since I have quite a few spare units to paint up.
