Tau Vs Space Wolves Warhammer 40,000 7th Edition Battle Report

About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery

1. Quick question, around 23:20 the knight shot it Gatling cannon at the broadsides behind them. They can do that even if they are 180 degrees behind the knight
2. Fantastic battle. Keep up the good work.
3. Wild animals aint got shit on the Greater Good.
4. Here's a few thoughts:
   - Have the Iron Priest get 4 Cyberwolves, then join the Wulfen unit during deployment, to give them some wounds soak and let them reach CC before being shot down.
   - Add the Wyrdstorm, go bikers for move + shoot + turbo, or Jump Pack to keep with the Wulfen and still keep the Reroll Charge Distance. Maybe keep the Jumper in the Wulfen/Iron Priest unit, and the Biker join the Fenrisian Wolves to add power weapon, shooting, and Force options to a wounds-soak FA choice.
   - you won't be able to both charge units in to their deaths/glory, and also cap objectives too... perhaps having a bit held back to provide support to your GH squads that aren't being sent fowards (maybe keep the Knight back til things simmer down on the Front, but close enough to draw some fire, but staying within range to CC what may deepstrike down mid-game).
   
   Thoughts, things learned, thanks =)
5. beautiful paint job on the Tau
6. HAHAHA!!! I so called it!!! The knight went down to overwatch. Great game guys! Lots of fun.
7. Would Crusade be a tie? Not all of the objectives are Crusade objectives just the ones in your deployment zone according to the BRB and the ITC format. Good fight. I hate Tau sooooo much lol.
8. Piranhas have front armor 11, boltguns would not be able to damage it from that facing.
9. Another great game - well done guys!
10. Thanks for sharing.
11. Just a heads up on the curse of the wulfen, the wulfen themselves dont benefit from the buff you roll on the table
12. My suggestions:
    
    Drop the terminators and the landraider, they are bad for their points compared to Wulfen (same cost, twice the unit).
    Run a second Wulfen pack in a MurderPack formation for the +1 on the table.
    Then make sure the Wulfen packs are:
    2x TH/SS [always in front]
    2x Frost Axe
    1x claws on leader
    
    Drop the knight, too many points in something so easy to kill. Get some pods and some wolfbros with meltas. The Wulfen MurderPack will buff them all.
    
    Find a way to add in the Fenrisian wolf greatpack of dog spam to pad out the list.
13. DIGGANOBS!
14. Tau shenanigans right after a first turn charge! That made me laugh!! Good bat rep, enjoyed it
15. for 5pts on the crisis suits, add bs2 overwatch. this doubles your chance to hit in overwatch. combined with tau agility to back each other up in overwatch is awsome
16. the tau list can be improved in a few ways. firstly the steath cadre. if you make it a three man keel squad, you gain +1 bs for being a unit of three. when you fire the unit gains +1 bs via the cadre ability. give target lock to two of the ghosts. you are not firing at 3 units, at bs5 ignoring cover.
    next your hammerhead. hears a trick. instead of it, take the tau gun fortification. swap your fireblade for darkstrider and put him in the fire warrior squad. have him fire the rail gun. what this does is make the rail gun bs5 twinlinked, S10 ap1, but most importantly his ability makes you count his tsrget as -1T. so now any T6 mc is instant deathed
17. I see that you found out about the Wulfen boost. Then I guess you will be building a murderpack of 5+5 wulfen. My tip is to have two thunderhammers per unit to get 3+ invun save in the front.
    The Tau list seems to be working great! The killing of the Landraider and the terminators like that is a good proof :) Good luck in the tournament!
18. You don't roll Morale due to Overwatch when charging...
19. If you're going to repeat the name of a unit all the time at least try to get it right... I cringed every time you said Wolfkin, when referring to the Wulfen. The Wolfkin are a formation of 2-5 units of Fenrisian Wolves. Awesome batrep, btw :)
20. Great bat rep, Tau list looks solid!
