This is the epic yet too-vague-for-a-battle-report tale of a 3k game between Eldar and Tau. It's redeemed by pretty pictures and a good "wow" moment at the end.
The armies face off. There's alot of Tau... Alot. The Eldar collectively crap their space pants. Good thing they were designed for that.
(I'm the eldar player, so I can get away with saying that)
The Eldar make some strong moves in the beginning, but to little effect. The warp spider gambit (meant to deploy behind the most expensive tank and blow it up) failed miserably. Here, the lone Exarch (the last warp spider standing) faces off against the Tau Super Heavy Hammerhead On Crack. The victor was pretty predictable.
Things began to look pretty grim from there for the Eldar. As far as worst case scenarios go, being surrounded by 3000 points of concentrated Tau Firepower while they simultaneously begin holding the objective is about as bad as it can get...
However, through a series of brilliant moves and lucky shots, the Eldar bounce back. Note the many smoking hulks. Sure, the Eldar have some too, but the Tau started with alot more tanks than they have now.
Eldar Mobility ties up the remaining forces before they can reach the newly Eldar-claimed objective...
And HERE'S the MONEY SHOT. The Tau, in a last ditch effort, disembark a unit of firewarriors
directly on top of the objective!(Hey look ma, no wires!)
The secret: never glue your back hatch closed.
Anyways, in the end the Eldar won, brown stains and all. Vive la Space Elves!
