This one was quick and bloody for the Tau. The Knights managed to cripple their big AT and AA hitters early in Turn 1, which opened things up for assaults in turn 2 and 3.

Seems like a fun game.
It has reminded me that I have a fair few DRM Kraytonians that I brought a number of years ago. Was going to use them in FWC. Will have a look and work out what each unit can proxy. I may have to replace the infantry perhaps.
Have you got a list at all of which DRM figures you proxied for different Tau unit?

They're CaptPiett's. I think you used Andy's for the Pirhana's and Tetras, and the Kraytonians for the tanks. The infantry are OOP custom proxies.

Andys?

If I replace the infantry I will probably use Onslaught as they look really good.

Really need to have a read of the tau list and work out what I have and what are suitable for each vehicle and then can look at expanding them.

What are they like to play against.

Dave's right, mainly DRM Kraytonians with after market proxies. This was not a fun game for the tau. They (I) were rolled up too quickly.

Tau can be great to play against. They have wonderful shooting, but need to get their marker lights danger-close to be effective. Take out the marker light formations and you're halfway there. They are also designed to be bad at engagements.

Seems like an interesting play style compared with my Orks.
Do you know which Kraytonian figures you used for which Tau units?
