Summary

 

 Vey interesting game…Again after 4 hours still no results on goals. I think the Alaitoc Craftworld, would have lost in turn 4 on goals. I was happy to force him to count back, but he won that hands down. I made some silly mistakes in placing teleport troops, to close to the enemy, so didn't help my cause..Anyways till next time…

Changes made to the Alaitoc Ranger Warhost: They did want I expect from Rangers. The main concern is whether they have a upgrade of falcons and the points increase..

Added War Walker Warhost: Like all LV they do come with their disadvantage, and advantages. Again it weather they need to have a upgrade and a points increase..

Pathfinders: Over all I think the 225 points seams about right..
