Big Ouch.

I have a question, why did you commit your BTS so early? However losing three formations in the first turn will scupper any marine player.

I also note that you haven't taken any Thunderbolts/Thunderhawks was this for a specific reason?

Yes a pylon and 3 scythes meant I'd lose a plane each turn so better to put the points into fighting formations on the ground. I had the luck that I knew what I would be facing and was able to tailor my force. In the end that meant nothing.

BTS was the heaviest shooter I had and as I was castled behind my Scout screen I figured I had to nullify its 4BP weapon early. I did almost break it so I thought it was a fair assessment. I re-castled with the Land Speeders but the Scythes /Ground attack action killed a forward land Speeder effectively removing the screen and then the portal action with a retain for a clean engagement from the Immortals hurt them when normal armies wouldn't be able to do so without committing three or more activations.

Losing three formations in the first turn is pretty standard against the Sautekh list. See my Tau game against them too - same occurrence.

Thanks for the report Dobbsy! Please see my post in the Sautekh list concerning your feedback.

Would lack of living metal (instead just regular RA) have made a difference in this game?

That was a bit of Night Scythe spam. How do you guys think they work? I'm looking at the possibility of removing the portal from the planes and instead go with standard transport.
