Warhammer 40k Battle Report: Tau vs Ulthwe

Check out my blog at http://xadh00m.blogspot.com

I played a game of 40k against my buddy Norau this weekend. We played at Oslo Miniature Games Club (www.2d6.no).

The game was 1250 points and the mission was Kill Points. To make things a little more interesting, we had a secondary objective at the center of the table. This objective was worth the same as having the most Kill Points.

I played my Ulthwe army, with no Wraiths and no Aspect Warriors. Seers and Guardians for the win!

We are speaking norwegian, but you guys should be able to understand what's going on anyway. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask questions in the comments.

Stealth team count as being in cover when being charged; they should've attacked first. Other than that, it seemed like an ok game. The Tau player spread his forces thin, cooped up most of the units as much as possible and blatantly exposed a lot of his forces. He did get a bit of pretty bad luck on that Turn 3, but it seems that he could've been more aggressive on Turn 1 and 2.

@WritingFighter Thanks for that analysis of the game! This was one of Norau's first games of 40k, whereas I've played for years. Nowadays he wins over me more often than not with both his Tau Empire and Space Wolf armies.

dude you should have shot those guardians with the stealth suits instead on one shot on the tank.

just my two cents.

[jonaslep]

He did both. The Stealth Team Leader had a Target Lock.

@blasterdude3 Starcannon is heavy 2, and in the new rules with some farseer powers an extra shot is a potential lifesaver, right?

@Spjungen how in the hell is a starcannon one of the best weapons in the game!? S6 AP2, yay, tau can put that on mobile crisis suits units, the starcannon has no place in the army, shurken cannons, bright lances, eldar missiles are all far better and have more uses

When the Guardians attacked you should have struck first as in page 27 of the Tau codex, under Stealth Field Generator. It says any models with a stealth Generator count as being in Cover when assaulted. Which means the guardians would have had Initiative 1 rather than 5 and going first. try to remember these rules! They might save your ass one day other than that good game.

XD @2:03 Fuckin' sick luck. Ethereals must have been watching over that one.

Eldar are totally op though imo. They can put a starcannon (one of the best weapons in the game) on pretty much anything...god I hate starcannons.

I don't really get why Eldar are even in the game and fighting in the first place...they're way more advanced than any other race, and they're just like...the best, pretty much, at everything. Why are they even in the game if no one else has a fighting chance?
