Tournament at Battlegrounds Today.
I ran 1850 Tau.
3 Power Armor Lists. Worst Match Ups Ever
Overview:
Game 1 vs Mike (Vs Mike's Blood Angels)
Medium Victory (3 Pts off a tie)
Here was an interesting Blood Angels Strategy:
5 Drop Pods, 3 Empty, with Sternguard/Command Units doing all the work.
Only 2 scoring units of 5 man Assault Marines in Storm Ravens who would fly over and only jump out if it was safe to land.
Very effective strategy.
Lesson Learned: Ignore the Flyers
Game 2 Vs Ragnar's Blood Angels -Eldar Knights
(Loss)
He used The Storm Raven to drop off Death Company and the Elder have amazing cover saves.
Lesson Learned: Strike at the back lines and Eldar Burn Nicely
Game 3 Vs Brian Sisters of Battle
(Win)
Lesson Learned: I need to take better care of my transports.
Also. Deep Striking Flamers is useless.
The Tau have plenty of long range STR 5 weapons.
If you can't shoot it, it can't shoot you.
And STR 5 @ 30 inches is really good.
Also Targeting Array on Broadsides is the best upgrade ever!
Was sorry you didn't get any games in trying out the flame suits before adding them to the list. It sounded like a good idea, but I'm guessing a couple test games would have swayed you to take them out.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, what changes do you see yourself making to the list. I'm still convinced allies would go a long way for you. Either an assault, counter assault or bubble wrap would really do the trick.
