SH – WR Clan (2) engage the terminators wiping them out for the loss of 2 bikes – BTS Saim-Hann win in three turns with BTS & TSNP This was my first game with the NetEA test list having played for a few years with the EUK list. My list was based around what I normally take with the addition of the larger SoV formations, Fire Prisms in larger formations and Hornets. After taking three formations out in the first turn I was fairly confident that the S-H were going to win this game. My opponent was a bit rusty and made a mistake on the placement of the Land Raiders. Then I picked up three criticals which was enough to swing the game fully in my favour. Some photos to follow

Darn it, although I only make it 75pts over. I would not drop the Vampire Hunter to 250pts as it leaves the army open to taking 4 at 3k and if your opponent doesn't have a lot of AA then it is not a going to be a pleasant game for him.
