first, the accidental. Math. Playing a tournament, with Tau, the first Tau Empire (softcover) codex. Made the list the night before, thought I had paid 300 points for 10 marker drones, found out I had paid 30. oops, let the TO know.

now the blatant rules abuse. When the GK got their own codex I abused the heck out of Karamazov's ability to fire on friendlies with what I termed the 'bank shot'. Zooming fliers are auto-missed by blasts, using IG Valkyries to 'aim' the blasts, there was plenty of model overhanging the base that I could easily use the wings, tail or front to precision place the orbital strikes to hit precisely what I wanted to.
