A rather long game that went to point in the fourth turn. I took Matt's IG list he's used in a couple of games, and him my Land Speeder heavy drop list you've seen from the last couple of battle reports.

I castled up in the left hand corner of the board in the "onion" formation. Most of the drop came down in the center of the board. It took me three turns to break out of the Land Speeder cordon, and even then I couldn't get two victory conditions. It was 1-0 in the fourth and we went to points.
