STORE CLOSING! END OF GAME

WINNER: TYRANIDS

**crazyK**

Good report. Looks like the Tau player could have used a Railhead or two in his list.

**tpears**

I've really enjoyed your reports.

Why is there always a PSP in your pics?

**Bloodhorror**

PSP = Objective.
Special Rule of the PSP Obejective
Whoever is holding the Objective at the end of the game, may kick the other player in the Knuts and take the PSP as a prize.

**Sadetta131**

another bloody victory to new tyranids with new nasty codex.

**Zid**

gave that tau guy a good what for, good report!

**Spellbound**

Tau players always seem to deploy their fire warriors as far forward as possible, right on the 12" line.

......why?

**WingsofCadia**

I have to agree with spellbound he has no protection for his troop choices and no matter what army you are playing that is no way to succeed. A Railgun probably would of been great to have to.

**Owain**

The last few Tau batreps I've read have involved horrible, scattered deployment of FW. Solid firebase, plox?

In my experience Tau fail at objective holding every time, although with all that woodland terrain wouldn't kroot have been a useful addition?
I've yet to play the new nids yet (6 games since codex release and its been marines, chaos marines, marines, marines, orks and tau) but i am looking forward to it, i may even write up a battle report about my next game on tuesday (weather i remember my camera or not) but no-one get your hopes up.

**rogueeyes**

I haven't seen Tau tactics that bad since ... well I'm not sure. The devilfish in the center shouldhave been protecting the pathfinders/fire warriors behind. Throw the broadsides in some area terrain to give them a 4+ cover save and protection from long range fire power (or behind the troops stacked behind the devilfish.

I'm not sure of any of the equipment but support was not a apart of the Tau strategy. I haven't gotten to play the newest Nids yet (our player is waiting to get his codex still).

**prussia59**

Agh. How come every battle report I see has the Tyranids winning?

Good game. Why he had transports against guys rushing at him with sharp claws I don't know.

Too bad the store closed so soon. Woulda been fun to see it play out.

**Clay Williams**

How come you do not pod your zoes?

**Advent**

Hmm. Very good use of the new Nids. I was kinda suprised to see the Biovores.

The Tau player needs to be hit in the back of the head and scolded for such a lousy deployment of his forces!!!

Nice report and yes, the Nids aresome mean MFer's. Lost a game to them and won one.

Becaues a model does not exist for it yet

**taylorton147**

yeah this has been said but a few hammer heads could have turned the tide :/

**Uriels_Flame**

With the new rules, can 'Thropes still move independently or do they now have to move as a "unit"?

Agreed. The reports are great and the pics w/descriptions help me out to understand what's going on.

The Tau guy shouldn't have kept anything back in reserve and kept his Firewarriors inside their Fish.

Another good battle report.
