Poll
Who is Deadliest?
Is it the manipulating psykers and undead constructs of the ruined craftworld?
Or is it the Typhus-led, trolling horde of rotting dead and pissed off space terminators?
Neither, it will be a fairly even matchup.

Farseer with mantle, loses IC status, so he shouldn't be joined to wraithblades.
Vector strike ignores cover, so crimson hunter jinking is pointless.
Typhus has S&P so couldn't have swept the warp spiders.

Think the farseer thing is probably the biggest games changer though. Otherwise nice BR, clear to follow and good photos.

I suppose I never used the effects of the Mantle so it was wasted points (unit was always invisible/took the cover saves and I never hit & run). Regarding the Jinking on Vector Strike, just so used to saying it that it just happened. You see an attack and think the shooting phase but nope, this was movement. Lastly, with Typhus, I used swept loosely here. He murdered all three Warp Spiders in his phase with no sweeping advance.

Thanks for reading!

Also you cant cast the same power twice from inside the same unit. So no invivsbility on the war walkers and the wraith star.

Sounds like a fun game though

Also, hell drakes cant score objectives. Have to hover, and If im correct heldrakes cant hover.

Thought the ruling was zooming fliers never count as scoring units?

It was my assumption that I couldn't cast the same power from the same model twice but thanks for pointing that out to me.
