Highlights and Score Breakdown
- The relic was placed on the Sky Shield landing pad. This proved to be in Mike’s favor. Shane’s plan was to hunker down and try to weather the storm.
- The Cybernetica Datasmith was Shane’s MVP, continuously repairing the damaged Dunecrawler.
- The dice were not in Shane’s favor, whiffing rolls with the icarus cannon against the jetbikes.
- Mikes’s Banshees ran up the board and tied up the Dunecrawler for a few turns.
- Both guys had a blast with their first game of 8th edition, finding it easy to pick up and run and look forward to more higher point level games!
Final Score:
Mike: 6 VP
Shane: 0 VP
In the end, the Eldar proved to be too mobile for the Ad Mech and they took home the victory!
