I'm sorry this BatRep isnt as detailed as they normally are, it was an exceptionally long game (almost 6 hours) and the video ended up being an afterthought.

So we faced off against possibly our worst matchup. I'll save my comments for later, but the results were certainly not what we expected. Thanks everyone for the views/likes, take care!

Video may take a bit to process, sorry!

Hey, this one looks neat! I'll check it out... curious to see what happens.

Wow, unexpected indeed.

^ I agree, though the plan of having five fliers + mawloc + trygon + gants coming together in the backfield turn 2 was supposed to disrupt way more than it did.

Its not shown but my partner had the most unlucky rolls over and over in that first turn, he just couldnt make any saves. Losing four fliers and a ton of points right off the bat sucked. : /

I'll admit though, Dark Eldar are natural hard counters to Tyranids and Tau have an incredible gun line to support their shorter range. This was a hard match up for the bugs.
