Summary

 

Well won all my fights, but lost the war. I guess both side will be advertising for replacements for TERMINATORS ….

 

I don’t believe any of the Red Corsairs units are over powered or under powered and after few games I have not found any glaring issue with army structure or units. I’m still looking at other comp’s at the moment to test…
