Fun fact: Tau are actually pretty damn resilient against chaos mind powers, this wont save them from smite, but the warp aint corrupting them as easily as it does with humans, actually it would have a hard time. And before smarry pants comes around referencing the time a water caste got possesedby A daemon after touching a warp engine... that is the equivalent of shoving your hands into the active reactor of a nuclear power plant, of course it would get possesed.

As someone who regularly plays 2v2, it's nice to see this format get some time on your channel. There's just something that's even more fun about mashing together 4 armies and seeing how it all works out together. Well done!

[@prinstyrio0]

I love the format more as well, just a lot more craziness that can happen and the satisfaction of doing a nice combo with your buddy without realizing it (and luck through dice) is something you just can't get when doing a 1v1.

[@geoffreywampach2588]

Hearing Mubin play Thousand Sons at 1000 points hearts my dusty heart. I know being newer to the army has a learning curve and being limited in unit selection doesn't help, but the fact that he goes spell heavy when spells are not scaled for a 1k game... I hope that Mubin has a pivot in the list before the convention as Tsons are an army I want to see do great for you guys.

[@nookcullen1518]

I actually find that running TSons Cabal heavy is perfectly fine at 1000 pts, mainly because costs are so insane, but what hurt my dusty heart was not doombolting and/or Twist of Fating the Hammerhead/Y'vahra, cause that would have potentially saved Ahriman. They're just such a read-y army, and have one of the hardest learning curves in the game, if you don't know your Cabal sorceries or strategems like the back of your hand it really hurts you. If I had made the list I would've put a Daemon Princs without Wings in place of something to get that stealth and 2 Cabal Points.

Hey guys! Love the battle reports! I wanted to suggest an idea for a battle - Tau Nick and Mr. initiative each with 2000 points of Tau and Orks (obviously) teamed up vs Tak playing Space Marines. With a special turn order - the Xenos go first, but ONLY one faction gets to go, then the Space Marines, then the other faction. The Xenos team gets to choose who goes first, and they can choose different each turn! Force them to figure out which part of the team can contribute the most, then force Tak to figure out what to do in response! Thanks for listening and I hope you guys have a great Christmas and New Year!

Absolutely love team battles! Small request for the future if possible, occasionally if an attack profile is a interesting or potentially very important could you put its details off to the side similar to how you guys do stratagems? It would be very cool to see occasionally and of course not something to do for every attack just for an impactful shooting or melee attack.

Concept for the battle: Blue boys go to world because they hear of possible heresy. Thousand sons found doing some heresy. They war. Underneath the stirrings of necrons is felt by all. Ceasefire between chaos and bluebies to take on the undead warriors. Tau who’ve been watching this whole thing from the moon see an opportunity for the greater good and step in next to the necrons in hopes of future allegiances with the undead super soldiers. What do you think?

[@gabiballetje]

Ultramarines with Thousand Sons ? HERESY !!! I really thought it would be Ultramarines with Tau and the Ultramarines drooling at the T'Au weaponry against the Necrons and Thousand Sons. And T'Au with Necrons makes just a little sense to be honest. But what the hell. And i had never heard of Baron of Dice before, but those dice look awesome, and this just against shows how much GW is dropping the ball.

Imagine how f*cked the situation must be for Guilliman and Magnus to agree to work together. 🤣

Tau and Necron took so much firepower to the table that the Ultra/Chaos could not take it. Too many Rubric marines. I think some kind of beast/tank could have helped to soak up initial fire, so that the rubric marine could shoot more. Maybe just a Rhino could have been a good 75 points distraction, like a diversion.
