Does anyone know of any Ork versus Tau battles that there has been fluff produced for?

I am doing some AI demo games at an upcoming tournament and I only really have Ork and Tau air fleets (I have some Imperial planes but not a wide variety) so I was looking for some "factual" basis for the combat

TIA

You are indeed correct. I recall that from the old Tau codex.

I'll go see if I have a copy

Thanks

Orks are pretty much the most commonly-encountered alien race for the Tau.

Not only did the Orks fight Commander Farsight, but the Tau initially helped the Kroot against them, forming the Kroot/Tau alliance that still exists.

Also, have a look here:

Hope that this helps.

You could do some cool kind of air drop on Pech, where you have a Ethereal being dropped to make the alliance with the Kroot and the Orks are trying to shoot him down. got any forest scenery?

I have some forest templates but I don't know if I have enough for the entire table.

I also have to make some Orky scenery for the tau to bomb.

Thanks for the links CyberShadow
