Prepare for APOCALYPSE!

All right, this is the big one! The Tau are fighting for the Imperium with the Eldar and Necrons. There are over 20,000 pts per side and it's going to be nasty evil bad!


The Attackers


...and the Defenders

Oh, what's that giant thing over on the right side of the Attacker's deployment?



Meet the GARGANT, 2200 pts of Ork squishiness. Not gonna lie, this thing is really scary. Perhaps I'll feel better if I look at what my own army is packing?

My Strategic Asset for this battle is the Remote Drone Network, which allows me to mark of a 48" diameter on the board each turn, getting a free markerlight hit on all units in range. See why I have the missiles now? >:)

Both sides have elected to take jammers via one of the players, so deployment was carried out in erie silence. This battle is about to explode, so stay tuned for the weapons to start flying!
