How many attacks?! Blood Angels vs T'au. Warhammer 40k in 40m

[@gabrieljohnson1494]

That Vespid deserves a name. I vote for Buggs Lightyear.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

I love it.

[@peacechan4500]

A vespid that actually drew blood to a dreadnought. Solo. Truly GOATed

[@thebiglionsrule]

Buggs Lightyear also gets my vote!

[@ovan2190]

Buggs Lightyear...To The RESCUE!!!

[@LauraDelvecchio]

votes over. Bugz Lightyear it is.

[@peacechan4500]

That vespid is definitely gonna be inducted in Tau legend.

Of this game's many highlights, Tak's Captain going Star Platinum and delivering several dozen hits with his power fist had to be my favorite

[@Vodius]

This game was utterly bonkers. Rolls were crazy and surprising, players were hilarious, sportsmanship was top notch. The hallmarks of a perfect game, really. Unkillable Vespid and Fist Captain need some kind of special model treatment so we remember their heroic deeds :D

Thank you! This game really became a perfect storm of many factors. Glad you enjoyed it!

One of the greatest battle reports I have ever seen! The early lead, the tying up, the command re-roll and the HERO vespid, the tactics, the ridiculous number of hits both in melee and in ranged by both armies, how extremely close it was! Just awesome in every way! Congratulations to both players and the channel, truly

[@mattburgess5697]

I like that he’s just as excited about awesome plays that go against him than for.

[@wooblydooblygod3857]

Nick may be a T’au man, but he has such ork sensibilities. He doesn’t care if he’s winning or losing, he just cares that the battle is cool. And he likes it when things blow up.

[@Deano3225]

That was the best match I have seen for a long time. I love the aggressive Tau! Short range salvos from breachers is just so satisfying. Who needs a knife if you have a shotgun... Anywho, a genuinely fun game.

Seeing Nick using Gue’vesa as breachers warms my poor heretic heart. Anyone got tips for Kitbashing human helpers for the t’au?

[@AWPtical800]

The world is your oyster for converting gue'vesa. KZbin is your friend. For arms: T'au arms will work wholesale (T'au and Guard torsos are the same width, so you won't have any issue getting the arms to line up right), but they only have four fingers. If you want to use those, you'll have to add Green Stuff for the wider hands and pinkies. If you don't want to do that, you're gonna need to cut up some guns. Trim around and hollow out the left hands, take all but the stock and trigger guard off the right arm. For T'au guns, take everything but the stock and trigger guard, take off left hands as needed. Pulse Blasters don't have this problem, but one of the rifle sculpts and some of the carbines do. As for bodies: some people just use Guard torsos and legs wholesale and stick T'au bits on them, which is what it looks like Nick did here after removing the Guard web gear. Some people use Necromunda Van Saar or Palanite Enforcer kits, though be aware: those have broader chests so if you're using 40k arms, you may run into issues getting the hands to line up. You can use T'au torsos on Guard legs, but like I said: Guard bodies have web gear molded in. You'll need to trim and file down the T'au torso at the belt. What I plan on doing for mine is cutting up old Cadian lasguns for the hands, using T'au torsos and sticking them on 3D printed legs. Mad Robot Miniatures has a bunch. Also gonna add some Catachan arms to the Pathfinders for some flavor.

[@ResonanceSD]

I converted Guevesa breachers using a cadian kit.

[@jakegray1723]

If you don't mind using non GW models, Stargrave, especially Stargrave Troopers, make an amazing and cheap kitbash option for guevesa parts.

[@ethanrichardson4366]
