Summary
Ouch, I should have just let the Deathstrikes fire, loss of both Raiders, Wraithblades and a Stormserpent really affected my game. I was also caught out by the sustaining from the Gorgons but can’t complaint about the Shadowsword missing with its two Volcano shots.
I didn’t really get to try out the cheaper Fire Prisms or the Wraithblades so a good game, but not a test list I would want to try again. The restriction of 1:1 does make the list difficult to build and I will probably try some mounted Wraith formations next.
