Had two games against the Tau this weekend with my Tyranid forces and the battles were a lot of fun! ?I'm going to post links to the reports that I've done up in the Tyranid section and try to make any comments about Tau in this area.

I hope you enjoy them!

Battle 1

Battle 2

Chroma,

As noted, batrep 1 was a good read. I recomend others take a look. Very entertaining. Thanks for posting. Nerroth should be happy to see someone test out the Gravitic Salvo upgrade on the Hero too.

Now looking forward to see how batrep 2 breaks down.

Deflector vs. AT question: RA works as normal, invulnerable save works as normal.

Cheers.

Excellent reports Chroma!

It was very interesting to see what works when things go the way the Tyranids want vs. when they go the way the Tau want (I won't tell the rest of you which was which, you'll just have to read the batreps yourselves).

Still, it appears that when the Tyranids develop some momentum they're pretty tough to stop. It wasn't lost on me that the Tau were successful when they took the initiative and hit as hard as they could on a specific target (i.e. fire discipline). A good lesson there for anyone.

Thanx for sharing.

Hi!

In a way I'm glad the Tracer salvo wasn't that effective, a good sign that it's not overboard for the unit (or do you have any take on the salvo - does it seem OK for you?)

The Tracer salvo seemed fine by us!  We played it as non-War Engines could only be fired on if they are marked, is that correct?  Targets in cover makes it a real crapshoot, even with 6 dice!

Correct!

That should be stated in the pdf though, all it would need would be a single line in the Markerlight rules:

Note that Tracer missiles fired unmarked from orbiting spacecraft may only be targeted at War Engines.

Or something.
