Turn Five Eldar Battle Report

Nick speaking, Turn five is usually key for my IDIC Hann, Saim-Hann styled army list. Reserving everything and going in for turn five contesting or staying out of trouble for the annihilation mission, are tried and tested Eldar trickery tactics.

New Necron Codex Review - Heavy Destroyers

Nick speaking, The first Heavy Support choice I want to take a look at for a New Necron Codex Review, is the Heavy Destroyer. At 65 points a model and only three in a unit these guy's seem to fail in so many areas, despite their S9 AP2 guns, but it wasn't always like that... In 4th edition, I would very often take Heavy Destroyers...
