KluweNids again versus my Tau, this time at 1500.
The game was really fun and there was a lot of crazy stuff that happened. In the end it came down to going for the draw, or going for the win. I decided to go for the win and needed it to end on turn 5!!! Excitement and a lot of fun. Sorry for posting this so late I have been busy getting my army finished up for next Saturday.

Very good game. We like 1500pt games better as well. It just seems like a more tactical game and requires you to make some hard list decisions because you don't have the points to field everything you want. It also means you have to make every unit count.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. It seems like you're getting more comfortable fighting nids because there's much less regret and it was a really close game.
ReplyDeleteI personally have no preference for 1000, 1500, or 2000 point games. I like a variety, since certain units work better in larger or smaller point armies. Anyway, good game!
I also brought a much friendlier list this time. Close games are always more fun than bringing the DoM and 6 Hiveguard :)
ReplyDeleteYeah but I still feel like I should be able to beat 6 HG and the doom, some how I will do it!!!!! :)

Hehe, I gotta be honest, I think you're gonna have a rough time with current Tau. Nothing against your tactics, it's just Tau aren't really designed to cope that well with the newer codexes :)

ReplyDeleteYa I know, I am stubborn like that. But then when the new Tau codex everyone will be like "It doesn't matter what tactics you use because ion cannons are heavy 4 blast and plasma on crisis suits is assault 5 and they get the equivalent of mystics except the entire army can shoot at any deep strikers." :D
Firewarriors have Assault 2 Railrifles at Str 8 Ap 2!!
ReplyDeleteActually, there's really no technologically conceivable reason why the Tau wouldn't be able to build a crew mounted railgun, or even a basic troop model. I mean they have Broadsides for crying out loud. They know how to miniaturize their technology.

ReplyDeleteAll of my special weapons are relegated to crisis teams, you are right though. They have the technology to do some silly stuff. Maybe do something like "purchase a sniper drone team for your fiewarrior squad."
