Beat him silly with the army he abandoned, make him want them again but deny them to him. Drink from his tears and enjoy your vengeance.

How do you trick someone into buying an army?

My advice is to man up, play the army in the way it was intended, win some battles and have some fun.

Hmm maybe you could play with the army, spend some time learning how the army works then enjoy the satisfaction when you do beat one of the most powerful armies with a lower tier army.

Just a suggestion.

maybe he used chauserian riddles to lure him into a false sense of security, or used a rune of illision


the answer to the OP, man up you made the deal so you live with it

Relictors: 1500pts


its safe to say that relictors are the greatest army a man , nay human can own.

Hello,
If you dont like them, put them on swap shop, they are fun to paint, and if your good at painting you can (maybe) make a little more.

No, spraying three colors on your minis does not count as painted! 5k+

Do the honorable thing. Give the Tau to a proper army recycling center. There is one near my house; PM me and I"ll give you its address. You can't just sent GW plastic to any recycling plant, only specialty ones work. Do the right thing, and go green.

Paint everything purple. The helmet, the guns, the feet, the flesh. Everything.
Then melt it down and re-mold it into a large plastic hammer.
Find your brother and threaten him with said hammer until he relents and gives you his shiny new SW army. Then smash it all up with your Tau hammer.
That gentlemen is how to beat SW with Tau.
If that doesn't work ask yourself "What Would Creed Do?"

"trick" him into making a SW gunline list then show him what gunline really means with the very army he sold you.

Touch up or repaint them and sell the on Ebay for 150% cost. Use the money to buy yourself a new army and make it your life’s work to crush your brother every time you play.

Sit back and think about what you did.

Learn from your mistakes. If you can get taken for a ride on a Tau army and get this worked up, then youre going to have a very dissapointing life.
