Went to Yorkshire Open tournament yesterday, thought i'd give a bat rep of it. The list i took was tau:
Shas'el with PR/FB/TA/HWMT - 97
Shas'el with PR/MP/TA/HWMT/HWDC/2 Shield Drones - 127
6 Stealths - 180
3 Fireknives incl. team leader with targetting array and two shield drones - 231
8 FWs in a warfish - 200
10 Kroot - 70
10 Kroot - 70
Broadside team - 195
Railhead - 180
Ionhead - 145
Due to a some what different rules pack, in that scoring units had to either be 6 models or 6 wounds strong, my list was a bit different to the norm but everyone had that problem.
First game was alpha recon. I was playing against a very nice Legion of the Damned army, featurin a chaplain with a command squad in a rhino, two dreads, a few walking tactical squads, one tornado, a vindicator, heavy bolter dev squad and a whirlwind. So a pretty balanced list. In the centre of the board was a big building, on the left it was empty in the middle and on the right there was quite a lot of level 2. Both our deployments were fairly spread, my railguns, HQs and stealths were on the left facing his armour, fireknives, FWs and ionhead went down the right. He mainly stacked on the left, there was only the dev squad, one tac squad and the whirlie on the right. The plan was to hold the left and sweep round from the right.
Turn 1 he didnt do much, bar killing a shield drone from the whirlie. My turn, i went a bit too agressive. Ionhead failed to hurt the whirlie, as did the railhead to the vindie. Luckily the rhino got immobolized by the broadsides, having soaked my other shooting. not that good.
Promptly the two lascannons he had in his tac squads kill my railhead and devilfish. Woops. I also fail a few more 2+ saves and am left with one broadside. Hmm bye bye left flank.
When in need of help, crisis suits to the rescue!! The HQs hold their own on the left, downing the speeder, command squad and knocking the other tac squad below scoring. On the right the fireknives and ionhead swept all before them and took out everything else. In the end i score with my ionhead, fireknives and stealths, him nothing.
I'll update more later.
