...no, not because I'm back (slightly sooner than planned, but the less said about that the better) but because - hallelujah! The Tau have won a game of 40K!
Yes, buried somewhere deep in the journal backlog is an entry moaning about the uselessness of the Tau army list, puniness of Kroot, etc, etc. Well, nearly two years of faffing about and a few weeks of increasingly intensive touching-up (of models, obviously - oh, damn, that's still pretty suggestive - never mind) and the result is an army capable of taking on Eldar and winning and World Eaters and drawing (not a technical draw, but it was looking that way and we wanted to get down the pub). Three Broadside battlesuits, three Crisis suits with various kinds of plasma blasters, plenty of pulse rifles and an Ethereal pretty much did the trick.
Really need to slot some Heavy Drones in there to force the enemy to keep back when deploying and give me some time to thin numbers out before he's in assault range. Would've got pounced on by Berserkers on turn one if the 'Eater dreadnought hadn't fire-frenzied and utterly annihilated the 12-man Fire Warrior squad closest to the enemy. And that's a very very faint silver lining indeed.
Ah well. Just need to bump this lot up to 1.5 and move onto either Orks or Guard. Decisions, decisions...
Rejoice, rejoice...
