lash144 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Small advice from someone who plays against Tau on a regular basis: Don't expect your Cpt Smash to kill a riptide without spending 4 CP (Red rampage + fight twice) Without fighting twice and assuming an average of 7 attacks on the charge you do about 9 wounds to an riptide with a 4++, even with a flat 4 dmg. And this assumes that there are no drones nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The riptides will only have 5++ if I go first, and I'm likely to buff with Might too (Although, I may save for the dread, depending on positioning).

Morticon Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Just finished my homework on the enemy lists. I've chosen my secondaries, traits, relics and assassin for each list. Prioritised some units and done some synergy homework. Smaller crowd than expected, sadly, but I've never been in a tournament with what I regard to be this high a percentage of very, very strong lists. With very capable generals I'm in for a very tough time. I will be lying if I said I'm not aiming for top 3, but it is not going to be easy getting there. 3days to go.

Morticon Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 In a side note, there are three lists with BA in them. The other two are very, very good. I'm impressed with the one players' choices actually. Ten Sang Guard and an Ancient. He also has some admech support in the form of 2 robots and 20 electropriests. Other Fire support in the form of two sicarans. Really tight list. The other is a DW/IG/BA list that I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonaides Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 First rule of warfare - never interupt your enemy when hes making a mistake. Just remember to say thankyou afterwards... Sounds like you're doing well, any bogeyman lists still to come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 The Tau list is still looming. How it will work is that if I win tomorrow, im likely to play it in the finals :/ It's the list I least one to face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morticon Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Lost my fourth game vs an incredible chaos list and a great player. I'm a little gutted because of the fact that I made a BOAT load of mistakes, and almost more importantly, I was tracking CP wrong...each time he used fire again I only subtracted one instead of two. Actually made a big difference.bleeeh. (Yes, usually the players track their own, but I was keeping a tally and he was just asking how much he had each time) but still feel like a muppet. Solid solid game with a disgusting list. Yes undefeated now going into finals with undefeated guard....the player that I have been running my practice games with. So, top spot is out for me, it's a fight for 2-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Tau seized the initiative....But i prepped to go second. Also screwed up with engineers :( thought I got four more points than I did...but... Still got it 24-22!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morticon Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hey, jol Tau ended up 8th after I beat it. 3:2 for him. The Chaos list was tough to remember...buuuut...from memory 2 battalions (one nurgle, one chaos marines) and one tzeentch supreme command. 9possessd, 5havocs with uberdakkas, 3 oblits and. A boat load of psykers buffing the alpha legion. Really tough list He had havocs and There was also great terrain, so he really used it to his advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
