Alright, guys. I just had an amazing game at the store. My opponent is a veteran Tau player and the last time I played against his Tau, it was in 6th edition. In that 1000 pts game, I decimated his entire army in 3 turns. It was all over when the Commander unit rolled double 6s on their Morale Test (after losing a guy and some Drones) and fled off the table. Now the Tau are back with their new shiny Codex and they are hungry for vengeance. We both agreed beforehand this was going to be a competitive game.

Last time I played this list, it was a slug-fest. My Deathstar won me the game after sitting on the Relic for 3 turns in a row. Not even the Riptide Wing could dislodge them. It was also hilarious because I was playing turtle even though I have more points at the end. I hoped this one would be more action-filled.

Here is my list:

Pyschic Friends:

Grey Knights Nemesis Strike Force:

Librarian - ML3, Liber Demonica, Warlord.
5 x Termiators.
Dreadknight - Teleporter, Nemesis Great Sword, Heavy Incinerator.
Dreadknight - Teleporter, Nemesis Great Sword, Heavy Incinerator.

Space Marines Librarius Conclave:

Sevrin Loth.
Librarian - ML2, Force Staff.
Librarian - ML2, Force Staff.

Eldar allied Detachment:

Spiritseer.
5 x Dire Avengers.
5 x Dark Reapers - Exarch, Krak Missiles.
Wave Serpent - Shuriken Cannon, Scatter Laser.

And here is the list my opponent brought:

Tau Empire:

Tau Hunter Contingent:

Crisis Commander - Drone Controller, whatever it is that allows his units to Ignore Cover and re-roll To Hits.
4 x Marker Drones.
5 x Pathfinders.
6 x Fire Warriors.
6 x Fire Warriors.
3 Crisis Suits - 3 Plasma Rifles (1 each), 3 Missile Pods (1 each), 4 Marker Drones.
Riptide - Ion Accelerator, Fusion Blaster.
Stormsurge - Missile Pods.
Skyray.

Tau Combined Arms Detachment:

Darkstrider.
6 x Fire Warriors.
6 x Fire Warriors.

Pyschic Powers:
Loth - Psychic Shriek, Invisibility, Shrouding and Terrify.
Librarian 1 - Smite, Life Leech and Warp Speed.
Librarian 2 - Prescience, Precognition and Foreboding.
Spiritseer - Conceal/Reveal, Embolden/Horrify and Quicken/Restrain.

If people are complaining this is not competitive enough, this is still pick-up games at the store, so don't expect anything that can go into Tournaments. This is competitive compared to what is normally going on at the store.

More details are coming up...
