so I've posted up many battle reports before and for the most part they've all been accompanied by pics. This report is an exception.
So I again brought my tau to the table this time with the largest list I've ever fielded with my tau. after recently picking up 2000pts worth off my friend I was able to field a good 2250pts. list.
I'm not going to get into details over the lists.
So here's what happened:
2250 pts. game, 2 objectives, standard deployment, (12 inches along table edge)
So needless to say I was excited, this was a big game and my tau have proven very effective against my friends tyranids in the past.
turn 1
both players fail to do anything. Except I wound a swarm lord.
turn 2
This time there is blood shed, I shoot and kill the swarm lord as well as a few gaunts. But the tyranids manage close combat killing off all my kroot (20), 2 fire warrior squads (24), and a devilfish, OUCH.
turn 3
Guess what. . . . I fail to do anything. Tyranids kill off fire warriors (12), pathfinders (8), XV8 battlesuits (5), Battle suit commander, Stealth suits (5) and all my vehicles are either wrecked or can't shoot in the next turn. I concede.
VICTORY . . . TYRANIDS
a painful post for myself I must say. I've never been tabled before and I've never rolled that badly. In 3 turns of shooting I rolled eight 5s, three 6s, and five 4s, and the rest was 1s, 2s, and 3s. On the first round of shooting I have over 80 shots coming from my tau gunline.
my friend the tyranid player rolled the exact opposite. He even managed to make about 60% of his armor saves, ON HIS GAUNTS.
I can officially say this is the most upsetting game I have ever played. BLAH.
cheers
