Redux
Spoiler:
It was a great fight against a couple of great armies. I decided to play a fast fluffy army with a horde of bikers but that might have been the downfall of the cult since the bulk of my army (Pestillence and War) went up to soak all the Tau firepower it left only Death and the cultists to face off against the entire Chaos force (except for the Slaanesh Daemon Prince). I made a few mistakes, famine should probably have turned up on the other board edge and gone for the objective instead of outflanking the Tau (he had acute senses so could likely have picked the other edge). War should have engaged the Tau commander instead of Pestillence since he has a bucket load more attacks he could have finished them far faster than 4 power fist attacks a turn.
The game ended in a draw but only because of a lucky barrage on the objective carriers which is a shame since we said anyone (not just scoring) could carry the objective Dave could have moved it to a stronger unit e.g. the Slaanesh Daemon Prince but he got a bit carried away trying to finish off all my bikers (and I don't blame him!).
Finally we should all give Dave encouragement for getting some more of his Chaos Space Marines painted up and black undercoats on everyone else (excluding the Slaanesh Daemon Prince).

Morris, tragically sold his soul to the Chaos Gods of Flowers, Dancing, Laughter and Friendship. The Morris Heresy is on record as the shortest and least successful heresy in Imperial history.

Your story boards have a more wacky, devil may care, attitude that is really refreshing. I hope to see more reports by you. Lot of fun. Honestly this is the spirit that makes 40k fun, comedy in a grim dark universe! Keep up the great work I know how mind numbing it can be to present these batreps with photoshop. Done a few myself infact.
Very cool. I've never seen a battle report presented like that before but it worked really well. I was shocked to see the Tau actually win a round of close combat, praise the dice gods!
