Concluding from my previous article regarding my experimental 1500 point Tau army, the odds were stacked against me as I faced an experienced player using a deadly Eldar force. Or so I thought. When I had played him before he had used a few large squads of infantry, who seemed very tooled up for your … Read more
So after recently becoming a Tau convert in the 40K Universe, I’m still struggling to get reliable results from this supposedly ‘weapon-savvy’ and ‘hard-hitting’ race.
