7th - Tau (pulse bomb) vs Dark Olympiad! - 1500pts - Fully Painted

Thanks for the great BR as always!

It appears that the reavers definitely became hard to kill in this edition.
I may bring my old reavers from an armybox

Also, I love the fantastic board on which you had a play!

Hey Skari. I enjoyed the video bat rep. Thanx.

How did the wyches get rending?

Great report Skari. Keep 'em comming!

Misfortune gives rending not rerolls now.

Always nice to see DE take out a Riptide! Well played, and another enjoyable batrep.

Tau Turn 1, I believe, when they scored Obj 5 in your right-hand corner;
To my eye it looks like he scored with the Gun Drones? The piranha seems pretty far from the objective. I may be eyeballing it totally wrong, but if this is so it shouldn't have counted.
And then again T2 when he used the drone to score for the "linebreaker/12" of table edge" objective, no dice.

Main rulebook p.134, "Any unit can be a scoring unit, unless: ... It has a special rule specifying that it never counts as a scoring unit."

And Tau codex p.33 "A unit comprised entirely of drones is a non-scoring, non-denial unit."

I was pretty sure the drones could not score.

Now you know for next time!

I know it's early and all, but are you getting a feeling for wyches in CC? What to throw them at, what not to, and more importantly how many you need to get the job done?

I am liking playing wuth wyches. They are very hard to use, because they die.. but once they get stuck in... if ive done it right... they are awesome.
