So yea me and scott finally got our game in on Sunday 1000pts.
We really do fail at setting up though the first game we had the table set up backwards with our armies starting 8 feet away from each other thats not what im writing about thought. Anyway after we finished that game we set up right and had a duel.
Dragoon Caste
2x12 Fire Worrior Squads with Drones(8)
1x Xv88 Broudside Battlesuit with Marker drones(2)
1x Xv8 Crisis Battlesuit Commander with Bodyguard squad(2 crisis suits)
Daemon Hunters(scott i hate you for this lol)
1x Land raider
1x10 Grey Knight squad
1x Assassin
1x10 Storm Tropper squad
1x Grey Knight Grandmaster
1x Modle I cant remember the name of lol
Turn 1
Scott gets first turn moves his land raider, grey knight, storm troppers, grandmaster, and the other modle 6" forward he shots and is out of range with everything.
My move 2x fire warroir squads move twards cover to be safe(scary land raider) My crisis suits move up the broudside moves twards cover. In the assult phase i move the addional 6" move with my crisis suits
Turn 2
Scott moves everything up except his assassin and attemps to shoot again he get his heavy bolter and 1 lascannon shot in on my fire warroir squad he only kills to drones
I move my 2 squads of fire warriors into cover, the Xv88 and crisis suits as well. I shoot at his modle i cant remember the name of and kill it.
Turn 3
Scott moves everything up yet again( i see a patteren in his movement). He shoots yet again with that damn land raider and shoots at the squad of fire worroirs who are thankfully behind cover( yay for cover saves) i make all but one cover save He also shoots with his grand master at my crisis suits me hits them once with his storm bolter but i make the armour save.
I dont move anything this turn because tau are not the best at moveing and shooting so i start od by shooting at his grey knights who i can see even with the fog that they bring with them everywere like a carry on bag i blast 12 pulse rifle shots into them i hit with 9 then wounded 7 and killed 5 but the cursed things are fearless so they dont run. I shoot at the grand master with my 3 plasma rifles and 2 fusion blasters and my cyclic ion blaster it doesnt matter what the hell i shot at it with my one fusion blaster and one plasma rifle missed along with the ion blaster failing to wound damn str 3 gun, anyway he get 3 4+ invuln saves and he pull 2 sixs and a five out of his ass the damn thing lived. Assult Phase i move my crisis suits back out of cover but still behind it
Turn 4
Yet again scott moves everthing up and shoots with his land raider at my fire warroirs killing only one yet again next his grey knights are finally in range with their strormbloters he opens up with four of them the fith one was out of range he get 8 shots at my fire warroir squad and kills 3 of them (Yay 25% casulties) For those who dont know about tau they almost always run but my Dragoon Caste got epic courage with double 1's and didnt run.
I can now see his storm troppers yay I move my crisis suits to engage horraw for ap 4 assult 2 missle pods i rocker 6 shots into his squad of 10 and kill four then my fire worrior squad fires into his storm troppers again with 4 drone carbine and 5 pules carbine then 7 pules rifle shots i widdle his storm troopers down to 1 he runs lol yay.
Turn 5/6 I think I missed a trun?
Everything moves up for scott he attempts to shoot with the land raider at my crisis suits but they are behinde cover enought that he cant see them(sigh of relif) The grey knights then shoot into my fire warriors again but i make another miracle roll af cover saves Scotts assassin then shots a hyper turbo Ap round thing i at my crisis suit commander but he fails. Scott figures the games over but he forgets he had first trun and i move my broudside out of cover and shot and miss not once but swice with the twin linked rail guns !#%&

daemonhunters VS the tau empire
pat, even though you asked me to report on our game(s) on sunday, after some thought I think you should do it. being a fairly new player, I think reflecting on the game like that will help you quite a bit, you might find some holes in your/my tactics to change/take advantage of, or just get a new look at your army. you shouldn't worry too much about making it sound epic or anything, just try and be as accurate as possible (what units did what, in general, you obviously don't have to be like "on turn 5 scott's grey knights moved 5.7" and shot 10 storm bolter shots at my fire warriors, hitting 8, wounding 7 and I failed 3 armor saves, then rolled a 5 for losing 25% casualties and didn't run blah blah blah"), if you miss anything I'll fill in the blanks for everyone, assuming I can remember.
Mike vs Justin 1500 points battle report
Necrons:
2x10 warriors
2x5 immortals
2x3 destroyers
1x4 destroyers
The Nightbringer
Chaos Marines
2x10 plague marines (one with rhino)
2x2 obliterators
2x10 raptors
Typhus
It was a dark day as smoke and fog billowed over the battlefield. Despite the large area the two opposing armies sat across from each other in relative proximity. Both armies were there to scavenge four precious items which lay among the ruined area.
The Necrons strode forth opening fire managing to kill 3 raptors and stun the rhino filled with plague marines. The Nightbringer moved towards the bulk of the enemy.
Infuriated both squads of raptors charged forward. One even flew right into a building in its haste to see blood suffering zero casualties. The rhino drove forward releasing the disgusting marines inside to open fire on the immortal squad near them killing one. The obliterators all opened fire on the Nightbringer but all failed to hit, possibly from lack of torsos to stabilize their aim.
Falling back some from the plague marines the immortals fired back killing one. Another died with help from a squad of destroyers. With the threat of the raptors bearing down on them two squads of destroyers, a unit of warriors and a unit of immortals all opened fire managing to kill another 4 raptors causing the remaining 3 to flee in terror at such fire power. The Nightbringer fired an arc of lightening at the obliterators splattering one into pieces.
Attempting to avenge their allies the remaining raptor squad charged forth into the unit of immortals that had foolishly moved too close felling one only to see it rise back up. The plague marine squad moved toward a unit of warriors having its transport shield them from further shooting from the destroyer and immortal units. They opened fire on the warriors killing one but it just repaired itself. Typhus and his squad of plague marines were slowly advancing through a building unable to move very fast through the debris. The obliterators fired on the warriors but only managed to vaporize a few trees.
Frustrated the destroyer squad opened fire on the rhino blocking their line of sight to the marines turning it into a smoking wreck. The warriors fired on the marines managing to wound one before watching with glee as the shot bypassed its armour and feel no pain. The Nightbringer charged into battle with the raptor squad slaughtering four of them. The raptors unable to harm the living metal god attacked the immortals finishing off two of them. The immortals attacked back managing to kill yet another marine. The raptors fled combat managing to escape.
The plague marines ignored the deaths of the rhino crew as they ran at the warriors guns blazing. For the rest of the battle the marines lost not a single man as they constantly slew warriors only to have them stand to fight again. By the end the warriors managed to remain at a precarious 5 denying any points to the enemy. The raptors turned around and charged into the other warrior squad which too fought until the final hours just to die under the metal claws but not until killing 3 warriors.
The Nightbringer set its sights on the juicy squad of plague marines escorting Typhus devouring six of them in one round of combat. Typhus though a powerful psyker could do nothing to stop such an immense being.
Everything was locked in combat save the destroyers who hid themselves from the powerful obliterators. One squad did not hide well enough as it was blasted apart by plasma cannon fire.
The Nightbringer continued eating through the helpless plague marines.
The warrior units and immortal unit were all locked in fierce combat with the other plague marines and the slowly diminishing raptor squad. The Nightbringer set his sights on a much tastier target as he supped well on the now deceased Typhus.
The obliterators could not help but feel left out as their guns were silent as they watched the combat take place with no enemies to shoot at.
The Nightbringer finally finished off the last of the plague marine squad and moved menacingly towards the obliterators. The raptor squad had dwindled down to 2 marines who were cut down as they attempted to flee. The remaining destroyer squads sped from cover to contest two of the precious loot that the two armies had fought so hard for.
Not wanting to share the loot, the obliterators rapid fired their twin-linked plasma guns into the destroyers. One squad was blown to shards of metal as an obliterator was wounded by his own gun. The other squad managed to survive by mere inches, though one destroyer was lost, which let them deny the opposition precious points turning what could have been a tie into a solid victory for the metal tide of machines.
Final Score: Not sure but about 450 points more for Necrons, which would have been a tie if Justin had rolled more than a 1 to wound another destroyer.

Justins Army/Terrain Progress
Hey guys,
So I have been slowly choppin away at putting my army together and priming it. The most progress I ave made is definately with my terrain as I am ordering magnets for my guys arms so they are on hold for now. I have 8 pieces of terrain in the works:
- Building
- Hill with altar/artifact
- 3 razor wires (all done)
- Park area with fountain
- Chaos Sacrificial Altar
- Fortification
Because I know u all love pics here are some of everything of mine.
So yeah, there it all is, I especially like my building and razor wires. Next things I build are goin to be 3 more buildings and a few tank traps so that I will have a solid amount for city fights and also a diverse amount of terrain. Who needs GW when u have me eh? haha, atleast when there is tournies at gw we can still play :)
Later guys.
Justin
PS: Come this weekend!!

Mike's Painting Progress
In painting news my army is slowly becoming painted.
My two other Monoliths have been slowly gaining a red to them.
My warriors have been getting blood red, gold, and green on them. I also have a few completely done. It takes a while to cover up all the mistakes/paint brush mishaps.
That's all that's new but that's a lot of warriors.
