Pre-Campaign Battle

Got three campaign games in today. The first was a three sided battle to determine who placed the first flag on the map and to play test the kill team missions in the battle missions book.

I went with my five scorpions and five pathfinders, the ork player had a unit of shootas and a unit of sluggas and had one Nob with a power klaw. The Tau ran the three crisis suits with the load out z.insane posted below.

I'll post some pictures and maybe do a more detailed report but I'll give the quick run downs.

Game one: Orks split forces and charge both Tau and Eldar. Vs. the Eldar the Orks and Scorpions got into melee and despite some initial losses to furious charge and the power klaw the Scorpions rallied and began cutting into the Ork charge. The Tau suits focussed fire on the advancing greenskins and managed to clear the immediate area. The eldar snipers fired a single shot at the Tau and put a wound on the suit leader. The other eldar fired rifles and pistols into the orks and began consolidating up the hill in their corner. Turning their attention to the other foe the Crisis suits start blasting that the eldar.

In the end the Tau managed to jump in and out of the ruins they took cover in while laying a massive amount of fire power for which even the camoline cloaks of the rangers could not offer any protection. Initial victory belonged to the Tau.
