So further test game with the Iyanden. I modified my list to make it a bit more competitive IMO and took to the table against CAA again, this time facing his Thousand Sons. My list was: Avatar Wraithguard + Wraith Seer Wraithguard (4) + Wave Serpents Wraithguard (5) + Wave Serpents Aspect Warriors (Swooping Hawks) + Exarch Windriders Rangers (6) Swords of Vaul (3 Falcons & 2 Firestorms) Swords of Vaul (3 Falcons & 2 Firestorms) War Walkers (6) Vampire Raider Wraithship Vs. Retinue + Supreme Commander & Rhinos Retinue + Rhinos Terminators + Daemonic Pact & Champion Defilers Defilers Armoured Company (3 Land Raiders & Predator) Warphound Warphound Doomwings Doomwings Greater Daemon & 9 (6+3) Lesser Daemons Plan was this time not to through away my Vampire Raider and instead use it to snipe enemy units and in a desperate situation get my BTS out of trouble.

Game finishes 0-0 and on points count back there are 10 pts difference between the sides a good draw. We both failed lots of activations and if the Iyanden had managed to engage the Warphound at the end of turn one things might have been a bit different. List is fine for approval. Picture to follow later on today. |

The amount of 2+ activations I failed was embarrassing, although T-T also failed his fair share too. Losing my SC from the spaceship did not help matters. |

One of my pet peeves is the 2+ activation for a race that is supposed to be superior to mere humans (Marines) whilst also being able to predict the future to the extent of knowing where the Bloody handed god will materialise . . . ![:{[]](./images/smilies/headbang.gif "Headbang") That aside, it looked to be a very interesting game, and seems to support the suggestion that the NetEA Iyanden list is balanced and an interesting alternative to the E-UK list. |

Thanks for the Batrep Tiny Tim. It became almost comical with the amount of activations the pair of you were failing. Speaking of which I am not sure if the WG(SC) already had a BM or not but if they didn't they should have passed their activation in both the first and third turn as the Wraithseer's formation is always 1+ int. I am keen to see the pics, it was a super tight game coming down to 10 points. Thanks again for the batrep. Cheers Mic |

Ah no the wraithseer formation didn't have any BMs the whole game, I don't think T-T noticed that. I have only had a few reads of the list and I haven't, do you think it is really necessary? It is a wraithguard formation and they are ghosts in armoured shells after all. |

Definately missed the 1+ Iniitiative. Wraithseer will be mounted up now and used more aggressively from now on. |
