To be fair, I think that's less a T'au thing and more a Blood Angels thing-find me a unit in the 41st millenium that can comfortably eat a death company charge lol

@mantis114 9 ай бұрын

@nickfroese Cool. Another thing I noticed in Round 1 was that you had the Piranahs spot for the 2nd Skyray on the Terminators. The piranahs shot prior to the Sky Ray and the 'For The Greater Good' rule stipulates that the Obersering unit has to be eligible to shoot. Since the Piranahs shot already, it's technically no longer eligible to shoot unless I'm interpreting the rule incorrectly?

WOW what a nail-biter! Even though perhaps off-screen Steven gave a lot of assistance as commented in the end 'dice tell the stories'. Yet the perseverance to overcome them as shown by just now tight this match was in itself a story all on it's own! Cheers to both players, the comradery was especially wholesome.

First battle report I'm watching of you guys, and I gotta say, they're the best I've seen. Not too long, understandable, tactical and overall enjoyable! Just one precision : Stephen, you can reroll the hit roll of those Death Company Marines also in shooting at 16:28. And since it's all Inferno pistols (which I love, as a fellow Blood Angels player) it could have made a difference ;) Also, bad luck for failing that roll on the Libby Dread first turn... Thanks for the work guys!

Hazardous tests are more brutal than 3 mortals when failed, you take 3 mortals if you are a character, monster, or vehicle, but if you aren't any of those, you just outright die. idk if the crisis suits are vehicles or not, but its something to keep in mind when overcharging with more than 3 wound models that aren't monsters, vehicles or characters.

This was a lot of fun and was a really close match! Nick and Stephen trading those three dice was hilarious A few rules errors though. Stephen was using Rites Of Battle (a free stratagem) once per turn when it's really once per battle round, so he was using it twice as much as he should have been. Additionally, he was using it for Command Point re-rolls, when RoB only works on stratagems that target the squad - re-rolls don't have a target and can't be used for RoB.

@jorgemontero6384 9 ай бұрын

We get to see why the breachers are a bit of a trap: They do sensible damage alright, but they will die to a stiff breeze, so they often don't kill enough to offset their points. Hopefully some changes come, as otherwise Tau is an army of just crisis suits, support units, and a vespid unit or two to do secondaries cheaply
