Warhammer 40k Battle Report: Chaos Space Marines vs Tau

Check out my blog at http://xadh00m.blogspot.com for more video battle reports, tactics and painting advice.

My brother came to visit me last weekend, and we played a lot of Warhammer 40k. This game is between my brother (playing Chaos Space Marines) and my buddy Norau (playing Tau).

The game is 1500 points, and the mission is Seize Ground. Both players placed a total of 4 objective markers. The player who controls the most objective markers at the end of the game is the winner.

Music:
Alan Silvestri: End Credits, from the movie "Predator"
Breaking Benjamin: Firefly, from their album "We are not alone"
Photex: Ren 2, from the Animatrix soundtrack

Superb paint job on those terminators!

@Yeedeed Thanks a bunch! You didn't find the grey areas a little flat? ;)

All models in this army are painted now, and a few of them even went to the ETC with me last weekend.

Hvordan vet du hvor mange du må ha i terning kast for å drepe den andre?

[jonaslep]

@Meridos257 Det står i regelboken. Hvis et våpen for eksempel har styrke 4 og det du skyter på har tøffhet 4, så trenger du 4 på terningen.

I'm a noob at this but how do u actually play this?

[jonaslep]

@Meridos257 Well, Warhammer 40k is a little too complicated to explain in a YouTube comment box, but to summarize; Each player gets a turn of moving, shooting and fighting in close combat with his or her models. The winner is decided from a set of pre-decided goals, for example killing the most enemy units. You can find some tutorials here on the Tube. You should also check out Games Workshop's website.

@tau0123 Terminators have a 5+ invulnerable save, so they do get a save.

[bennido10]

the tau ar so over powered 10pt for a fire warrior

[hunkyjelly]

why do chaos termis have 2 wounds.. wtf

[hunkyjelly]

@whiteboardanimation yes. but he's undivided so he can have plague marines if he wants, and a Daemon Prince with mark of slaanesh etc. along with a paint job that looks like world eaters, or anything that follows chaos undivided like black legion, iron warriors, etc

I have to admit. I much prefer battle reports where there is a vocal naration of the game. A good example of this would be the battle reports made by miniwargaming. They are so cool!

[Yeedeed]

@jonaslep Haha! Honestly though, I like the battle report

[lilakagangster]

fuk dis i will just buy a transformer toy and kill all of them wid it

they wont stand a chance

No the tactic with the Termies is not realy that cheesy. You should see Ork Bikers. They can be even cheeser. Useing to many cheesy things would add up. but considering its the only REAL cheesy thing you did. Its fine. I play in games where eveyone basicly dos 1-2 cheesy things anymore and its "CHEESE" Such as hiding a objective at a corner and surounding it with Mega Nobs counting as tropps from your Ork Warboss exactly 2 inches away. Lol thats another cheese move.
