Wow! That was a great battle report!
Thanks for posting it.
A few points, however:
1) Castris' stats seem a bit over-the-top and his points-cost too low. Specifically, when compared to the Special Rules, stats, and wargear of the Special Characters in Codex: Space Marines, Castris' seems like a super bargain! Also, his Plasma Blaster is exceptional in every way--better range, better strength than normal Tau Plasma weapons, Assault 3(!), and doesn't even suffer from the Gets Hot! rule.
Maybe just add that last penalty to help balance it a little bit.
2) Exerci is also a bit low-costed for his stats, abilities, and wargear, in my opinion, though much better than Castris.
3) Ditto with respect to Slycker Wolf. I really like him and the two Tau Special Characters, but again, I must call attention to the fact that Slycker Wolf has stats and equipment equal to, or better than, any generic Space Marine Captain, plus all of his special rules are
better than those enjoyed by the 70-point Sgt Chronos in Codex: Space Marines. That should put him well above 150 (or even above 170) points in value.
4) Regarding the Fuel Depot: does the penalty suffered at the end of the Shooting Phase apply to all vehicles benefiting from the special rule, or just Walkers? The wording leaves this unclear.
5) Strategic Assets: Rock 'Em boyz --
"...D3" 10" blasts..." I'm guessing that " symble after the D3 isn't supposed to be there?
6) Oh, and that wasn't Kookeez's head Moriar was attacking in the picture.
Can't wait for the next one. Well done fellas!
