My apologies for the late update, I made a last second change to my army list, removing a useless Target Lock and replacing it with a Flamer, meaning I had to stay up late on Saturday to get it magnetized, primed, and painted before the Tournament on Sunday.
Combine this with a tournament, and I was pretty drained by the time I got home.
So, at last, here are the photos:
The gallery contains photos of my army, as well as each game I played.
Game 1 was an "Assault the Battery" mission where the attacker received bonus
VPs for destroying each of the 3 Earthshaker platforms, and the defender received bonus
VPs for each turn that the Earthshakers were firing. As the attacker I used the
SMS on my tanks to blast the earthshakers from behind the trees, and then waited for the marines to come out and play. At the end of turn 5, the Tau were victorious, but only succeeded in meeting one of 3 bonus victory conditions.
Game 2 was a "Defend the Airfield" mission where the attacker received bonus
VPs for controlling the earthshaker platform and the control tower, as well as getting units into that side of the table. The Defender received bonus
VPs for controlling the objectives, and getting units into the attacker's DZ. Luckily for me, I had better luck getting my reinforcements than the
DE player had, so I was able to roll his army up piecemeal, highlights included the first shot from my hammerhead on turn 2 splattering 9 out of 10 Dark Eldar warriors, and his Command Raider scattering off the table at the bottom of turn 5. At the end, I had succeeded in meeting all 3 bonus victory conditions, as well as completely wiping out the enemy army.
Game 3 was against Orks in a "Midnight Patrol" mission, the Orks got first turn and rushed both a Boyz Mob in a Trukk and his Nobz mob in a Trukk up. I made the mistake of trying to punch out a mob of Nobz with Cybork Bodies and a Painboss. That cost me the game since it meant I had to get close to them, and they just sucked up my fire before killing both my Hammerheads, a Devilfish and its FireWarriors, and my Shas'Vre. In the end, no bonus victory conditions were met, and the Orks won.
