Against the Tau...

Okay, so...the Tau.  I'll admit that I never liked them.  They're just so...girlish?  I don't know how else to say it.  Run away, shoot, run away, shoot some more.  They just can't stand and fight right and proper.  No glorious charges.  No beating people with giant swords/axes/maces/fists/books/furniture/etc.  Just...not as much fun as armies that can actually fight.

I had a game the other night against a Tau army.  It was supposed to be IG, but my friend ditched out on it and I got a random pick up game.

At the end of the third turn the poor Tau had two Crisis Suits left.  Well, two Crisis Suits and a pair of Shield Drones.  And how many wounded were suffered by the foolish Orks who charged into the guns of the mighty Tau?

I lost a Killa Kan.  And a Deffkopta.  Oh, and a Trukk.  But really, it's a Trukk.  Who doesn't expect that?

Something tells me that either this commander sucked, or the Tau desperately need a new codex.  Or they just need to be phased out to make room for a real army. (Squats, anyone?)

Oh, and I think I lost a handful of regular boyz.
