Net Epic Armageddon Eldar Vs Tau 3000pts

 

        Pre Cold Wars game with Kal at 6 feet under. I did not take my Cold Wars list. It would not have given Kal a challenge or even test his list out. I took a Viorla Tau with one detachment of Riptides and one 139 suit, 2 Crisis suits x8, 2 Fire Warriors with PFs, 2 Broadsides and a PF detachment.

The big suit Tau will remain shelved!

        The Tau ate up detachments. I think they took 3 in turn one. Out of 9 total activations, the Eldar had 4 left for turn 3. And they were all at 50%. The only thing they could not kill were the Eldar titans. 4 - 0, no BTS.

        The list is still broken. With a tuned up list especially for the Viorla and veteran player maybe. Jon, Dave, Andy could most likely take them down with a non-tuned list. The list is worse than the Knights. Where the knights have just trash for supporting units. The Viorla have very good supporting units. 

         Initially the Rip Tide type suits had everything. Amazing weapons, range and saves. Then it was the survivability of the Rip Tide types. They would not go away. Now it is the goodies you can take in supporting roles. 8 Crisis suits for one? 

        Broadsides move 15. They should not be allowed to garrison in this list. If our opponent does not bury his placed objectives deep into your half of the table, overwatched Broadsides are laying it down once you step off. Other than that they were handled as usual. 

        

        The Crisis suits, two detachments of 8, operated together removing a detachment every time they fired. 24 shots hitting on 4s with 30% macro attacks. No marker light! If not breaking the Eldar so badly they would never be a threat. The suits took damage but never enough to break them. 

        I think their size should be restricted to a max 5. You'll lose 2 or 3 every time they are shot up properly. With 8 they still are around jacking stuff up. In the normal Tau list they are not as damage resistive with 4 or 5 total suits.

        The Breachers and Path Finders not a factor in our game. They were the only Tau detachments to take a beating. The marker lights were used 2 or 3 times, sniper never. The Breachers never got to firefight. 

        The 139 suit was easily handled. The Rip Tides were never tested. They operated under the over watch of the broad sides.
