Match up between myself and a friend (King Pyrrhus). We have been playing each other for nearly 10 years and know eachothers play styles well.
This will be out first match in 6th edition with both armies using the new Codex. We both have extensive armies with around 4k each so this list match up will be the first of many variations.

We kept our lists hidden until today to avoid tailoring, the match will be played tomorrow. To make it more interesting we thought we would ask Dakka their opinions of the outcome.

Let us know what you think of the 2 lists, who will win and why!?

Will put up a post game report on Sunday with hopefully some pictures.

I appreciate your choice of pink to represent my army. I think I need to come with a good army name.

No probs. My army black but it doesn't show up too well on Dakka, I've been thinking of names for this new force too.

Really looking to see how the "Ionstrike" works out. I have been thinking about running one since I have dual FB suits for
tank busting.

I voted Tau.
I hope chaos wins, but my money is on the shooting power of the Tau.
