Got a solid 2000 pointer against Jack’s tau coming up tomorrow so it’s time to get real nerdy and post up my army parade. The tau are bringing a stormsurge and I’m bringing a Knight so it will be a battle of titans. (List at end)
The army, a solid core of infantry, a solid core of tanks and backed up by the knigh ‘Highlander’ and a Valkyrie for the scions.The freeblade knight ‘Highlander’ is probably my best painted miniature to date and I’m looking to get that fuck off chainsword very close to the stormsurge.Three heavily customised chimeras as mobile bunkers for my tooled up Black Company vets and Brigadier Stubbs’ command. There supported by my two main guys ‘Judge’ (Battle Tank) and Bulldog (Demolisher), looking to up their counts from the last match where they had a stellar performance.The valkyrie, which I painted in one night in a fit of mania. Always happy to put it on the table and looking forward to dogfighting Jack’s ace razorshark ‘Mako’.Brigadier Stubbs’ command, bringing a grenade launcher and plasma gun to fire from their mobile bunker. I also brought my smuggler (officer of the fleet) because denying Jack’s reserves will be crucial against Farsight Enclaves, and getting the valkyrie on early for dogfighting will be a bonus.The rebel droptroopers (scions) will be riding in the valkyrie and looking to push some wimpy tau off an objective or get in the rear armour of a tank with the plasma, grenade launcher combo.And finally we have the infantry. A fire support platoon with the lieutenant decked out to counterassault deepstrikers. The missile launcher squad will sit on a high point and snipe tanks and battle suits. The veterans pushing forward in the chimeras are the plasma spam ‘Royal Guard’ grenadiers and the bearded sniper vets the “Street Rats’.
Really looking for a solid slugging match against my little brother. Those early turns are going to be brutal for both sides. Tune in for the battle report.
