Kelharis Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Week one escalation match complete, both sides fought hard and died hard. A big thanks to @Lyraeus for giving me a match with his Ork meany heads. 😁 My list: ++ Battalion Detachment +5CP (T'au Empire) [32 PL, 500pts] ++ + No Force Org Slot + T'au Empire Sept Choice: Vior'la Sept + HQ + Cadre Fireblade [2 PL, 42pts]: Academy Luminary (Vior'la Sept), Markerlight, Seismic destabiliser, Warlord Ethereal [2 PL, 45pts]: Honour blade + Troops + Strike Team [2 PL, 35pts] . Fire Warrior Shas'ui: Pulse rifle . 4x Fire Warrior w/ Pulse Rifle Strike Team [2 PL, 35pts] . Fire Warrior Shas'ui: Pulse rifle . 4x Fire Warrior w/ Pulse Rifle Strike Team [2 PL, 35pts] . Fire Warrior Shas'ui: Pulse rifle . 4x Fire Warrior w/ Pulse Rifle + Elites + XV25 Stealth Battlesuits [12 PL, 142pts] . Stealth Shas'ui w/ Burst Cannon: Burst cannon . Stealth Shas'ui w/ Burst Cannon: Burst cannon . Stealth Shas'ui w/ Burst Cannon: Burst cannon . Stealth Shas'ui w/ Burst Cannon: Burst cannon . Stealth Shas'vre: Burst cannon, Velocity tracker XV95 Ghostkeel Battlesuit [10 PL, 166pts]: 2x Fusion blaster, Cyclic ion raker, 2x MV5 Stealth Drone, Shield generator ++ Total: [32 PL, 500pts] ++ His list: Orks....many, many orks.....so many orks...and some gretchin. The flow of battle was controlled by the Ork side, but their inability to complete a charge until turn 3? kept the game close. Late in the match a heroic last stand by a trio of stealth suits delayed the Ork victory, allowing a satisfying (like kissing your sister?) draw. At the end of turn 6, a lone Ghostkeel stood against (was able to run away from) a 30 strong unit of Orks who...just....won't....die... Score was 7 points to 7 points Tau: First Blood - 1 Slay The Warlord - 1 No Quarter Given - 5 Linebreaker - 1 Orks: Slay The Warlord - 1 No Quarter Given - 7 Kelharis had the full 5 points for painted models and craves a rematch (with flamers perhaps...) for a total of 9 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelharis Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 My big takeaway is that Stealth suits and Ghostkeels were able to last due to difficulty in hitting them, much like I hoped. Things would have been much different if Orks had made their charges... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My list was Big Mek w/Kustom Force Field Wierdboy w/ Da Jump 26x Shoota Boyz, 1x Nob w/ Big Choppa, oh and 2x Tankbusta Bombs... That I never used but have that needed AP... 10x Grots 10x Grots 2x Deff Koptas w/Rokkits and Big Bombs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
