Nice models on the field (your army is over the top as usual), nice field, nice game! Your friend matt is a really hard nut to crack
the final tactical corner was a little bit rushed, without too much analysis. but, hey, that was still great!
if I may, i don't feel you fault was entirely in deployment. the list itself should need some tailoring, it seems too...i don't know...too much glass cannon. A really frail glass and a not so big cannon.
But I'm not going to advance change proposal: after all, you have way more experience than me!
keep the reports coming!

You are right in saying that the list was a bit... off. This is because I was using what I had painted, and not the "optimal" unit choices...
