Orks vs Tau in a (sadly) Proxy Heavy Warhammer 40k battle report (stupid Matt). BAO Scenario 3.

I'm curious as to why you put a Battlewagon on the skyshield...was it just a double-layer of protection for your lootas?

Nice gaming space. Must be great to have a game with the sunlight streaming in.

Ork player from the batrep here. The wagon on the skyshield was indeed a double layer of protection. Losing lootas sucks, they're pretty key shooting in an ork list but are incredibly easy to lose, which sucks as they require so much babying to keep alive. So I stuck a max size unit in a wagon on the skyshield.

And it is awesome having a garage big enough for gaming!

Great game, good to see the Orks actually kill a Riptide. Pity about the other two. Got any tips for an Ork player to beat these guys with?

Against this type of list? Be mobile, multi-assault as many units as possible and prepare thy anus for Tau overwatch... But seriously I like how the Trukk lists perform, biker war bosses are legit threats to riptides and it may help having cheap grot units to keep in reserve and walk on to objectives since Ork boyz do so much of the heavy lifting.

Where can I find pics of the award winning riptide?

Was a joke, I'm attempting to publicly shame our friend Matt into finishing his Tau Army. It's almost done now, this video is pretty old.

Oh, I got that it was old and that he is almost done painting all his army. I thought that after the battle he went on to paint a gold deamon standard riptide. Too bad.

If only. Here's a pic of an "Admech Riptide" the other player in that batrep converted and painted
