Summary

 

Wow interesting game..The rally phase in turn 4 didn't help the Thousand Sons and if he rally the two broken formations, it would have been a lot closer count back..

 

Ok..

 

The changes to the Thousand Sons Terminator, look good and make it worth taking the formation, although I look at increase the points cost for the formation..

 

SILVER TOWER COMPANY: ok every time these get on the table, they basically end up dead or broken and do little in the game..So points sink for little gain..But will keep testing them..

 

 

NEOPHYTE CLASS: Worth taking these now..they didn't do much this game,but if they were place correctly, may have slow the orks advancement..

May the dice roll high..
