Warhammer 40k battle report Season 2 - Ork vs Tau

[fuzzball1223]

great vid i play tau and this definetly helped decide wat i need for a swarm army:)

[stupidcowboyz]

Maybe the tau were fighting to get their looted hammerhead back...

[mscfplayervictor99]

LOL looted wagon vs hammerhead.....i dont see any difference!

[wii3400]

personally, i wouldve used more boyz.

It didn't look like you were allocating unsaved wounds properly. If the Ork bikes took 3 wounds and the bikes have two wounds each, you must remove full models first, so instead of giving each model a wound, you must remove one model and give another a wound marker. Unless I missed something... The video was very nicely done though, it was clear and did not shake.

i have a question.....right now i only have one unopened space marine group, and i was wondering, do you need to have all the same army? or can you mix a few together? im guessing not but i wanted to make sure. thanks

Nice pace of report, very clear and an interesting battle to boot!

Good work!

First list I've seen an ethereal included.

[devilfella]

you guys are playing victory points? Not playing with the new missions?

[nekrotal39]

@devilfella We rolled on the new missions, and ended up getting annihilation, so there were no objectives, just points of dudes killed. That could be very inaccurate, as I've played annihilation only 1-2 times now.

[devilfella]

In the new edition kill points are used instead of victory points. You get a kill point for every unit, vehicle and independent character killed. Person with the most at the end wins, equal points is a draw.

[nekrotal39]

Aaah, we were just tallying up points killed, with broken units giving up full points, and immobilized vehicles giving half points. In kill points, I would've won out vs. the tau, as killed my lootas, bikes, battlewagon and a shoota squad, and I killed the ethereal, retinue, hammerhead, firewarriors, pathfinders. Thanks for pointing out our error there.

Hey, first off thanks for the report - nice recaps and pace of the review. My friend plays Tau, so this helps :)

About kill points - I like em because it prevents ppl from ALWAYS taking the bare minimum for squads to get more capturing units (now only troops) as well as versatility in movement and targeting

With older victory points you would still want to split up as much as possible since point value is all that's measured. Now unit # get's attention.

Again, thanks for the review!
