Hey guys,

I'm gonna join a tournament soon and just can't find the gusto to build a million drone buddies. As far as I know they're wargear and don't really have to be displayed?

I heard of people using markers/chips with the kind of drone written down. Do you do this as well? How do TOs respond to that kind of stuff?

Thank you!

Planning on bringing this to a tournament in the near future and would love to hear some thoughts! Last change I made was switching the Sunforgers back in instead of a Hammerhead. Also swapped Starcythes into a second fireknive brick to go with Farsight.

Let me know what you think!

I'm playing Tau for a moment now and I always thought about branching into a kroot army. Do you guys think they will be viable in 11th?

It would suck to buy minis and then the playstyle gets demolished haha.

Hey pals!

​

I'm about to start a white scars army as my second army. I want the guys to be fast and hard hitting. Do you think thats too many vehicles?

Hey guys,

I just got into the hobby a few months ago and finished building my first 2k army recently (Tau). The game feels amazing and I'm totally hooked.

I have read many opinions online that put Tau up as a beginner friendly army. So I picked up the combat patrol and got freaking whacked by my friends repeatedly.

It really took time, patience, watching strategy guides and straight up take more beatings until I got the hang of it. Ever since it "clicked" I won every game (only played 3 2k games so far).

All in all Tau's hard dependence on deployment, timing, movement, spacing and straight up being at the mercy of a good shooting phase made the faction feel not that beginner friendly. One wrong step and your paper thin boys and gals are toast.

I'm very glad I put in the time and effort to learn (and I still have so much to learn still) and now I feel kinda peckish to go for an even harder army. Just to see where the ceiling is on this game.

And I don't mean hard in the sense of "it's very bad, so you'll lose most games without perfect play" but actually kinda crazy mechanics/unit buffs and compositions.

I would love to hear you takes on the topic!

Do you agree that Tau are easy? What would be hard to play in your books?

Have a great day!

Hey guys!

Just finished my first ever 2k game and it was amazing. Me and my friend just started playing about two months ago and I played her dark angels today.

I think it took us about 3 and a half hours (we ended it in round 4 since tge outcome was already inevitable) which was kinda nice. Even though the mental load was crazy. Going from Combat Patrol to 1k to 2k made me feel overwhelmed but also hyped.

Mont'ka was fun as heck. The sunforgers worked some devastating magic on a Landraider and Lion El Johnson. Riptide, Skyray and Piranhas felt very underwhelming though. Maybe it was my bad luck rolling, but those didn't really do too much.

It felt amazing fighting myself back from having lost 4 entire units in round 1 and 2 while I didnt kill a single enemy unit. And until the end, it was a constant push and pull. Great game, great fun.

Do you guys have any tips for me on how to stay at the top of my game and stay organised? I keep forgetting to shoot or declare certain weapons, and there are so many rules and strategems to keep track of. I would appreciate your help!

Have a nice evening!

I was hella nervous trying it. But it's think it kinda turned out nice!
