At this point the game is over, we play out just because but there is no firepower left.


Ammon learned about 6 valuable lessons in this game and I learned the value of ordance that never scatters, all 4 mono blasts were accurate.

the BA list had some big flaws that most of us have worked out over time. he had zero blast or ord blasts or templates. no las and only 2 multimelta/meltas on the LS. this allowed me to totally turtle around my lord and monolith and force him to come right through all my firepower. Also the one we all done, Deep striking jut because you can. It always sounds good, and of course in practice never is.
