Another week, another Glacial Geek Battle Report! https://youtu.be/1FRes1gm3LI This week, while the Tau and Dark Angels battle for supremacy of a planet, a Tau surveillance drone crashes in a hotly contested city. Both sides rush to grab the drone and gather the information held within. Will the Tau be able to save their drone and use the information to further the Greater Good, or will the Unforgiven be able to capture the drone and use the information within to purge the alien? Watch and find out!

The way you roll the dice on 29 minutes for the black knights save is cheating dude. You should roll all the dice together or if you are going to roll some late they should not be onto the other dice. Changed 2 one's there with that way of rolling.

Great Report, really enjoyed it. However, Tau marker lights buff the models in a units shooting not the individual weapons. Your opponent missed a trick there where he could have been hitting on 2's with his smart missiles from the broadsides but instead he thought he was hitting on 4's. Markerlights change the BS of the model firing not individual weapons.

Other than that great report - keep them coming!

@endlesswaltz123 Sorry that upset you so much, I definitely was not cheating. I usually roll my dice all together or move dice before rerolling, but in that case some of the dice stuck to my hand and fell off a little later which I couldn't really control. But again, sorry it bothered you so much, I really wasn't cheating.

@Tau Skyfire Thanks man, glad you liked it! Yeah I had no idea how marker lights work and was just going off what my opponent was saying. I'll make sure to let him know for future battles!

I wasn't really upset by it, but I would have stated that those 1's counted if I was playing against you, leading to you failing 4 saves, and not the two. Maybe cheating is a bit too far, but it was certainly gamesmanship, intentional or not, and it just seemed even more so that you accepted the better results if you get what I mean.

Some of your rolling in general is horrendous though, so I guess you deserve a bit of slack... Such bad luck with psychic powers

You know what?
Incrising BS by markerlights work on all models weapon, not only the first

@Mr.T Yeah, I never play as Tau so I was just going off of what my opponent told me ... I'll make sure to tell him so he knows that for future games :-)
