only 1000 pts! wow, I am shocked to see such a small scale game (ok enough sarcasm here) Any who can't wait to see tactics. I like the lists guys.

I like the objective marker, very fitting for Iron Warriors.

Waiting on tactics........

[a fallen goldenage]

well on of the Devilfish would fly for the baneblade. i'd use my rail gun Hammerhead to take out the predator tank. the Ion cannon Hammerhead would probly aim for the bikers or possessed. the other Devilfish would fly to a point were the fire warrior team would be of use (probly to the far side of the baneblane, but in front og the other team) so unit wishing to capute the tank will have a good about of fire power to face (but with a 3+ save the marines only a few will probley fall to the pules rifles) and the rhions have no reason to fear the fire warriors which is were the battle suits come in. hopefully i'll be able to out manover him and use the two units of suits (and Shas’el) to create some type of cross fire. the shas'el will probilly go after either the lord or rhions (which ever is the great threat at the time). if push comes to shove and he is about to get me in close combat i'll hop into the fish and fly away out of assalt range and in the next trune hopefull get the units into a pluse rifle cross fire. but as we all know the best layed plans of mice and men

[IronWarriorofChaos]

first id send my csm and chaos lord into the ruined L-shaped building. then id send my csm bikers, possesed, and bezerkers into the tau forces and try to take out the shas'el and fire warrior teams. next id send my predator after the two hammerheads, meanwhile with my bezerkers and possesed distracting the fire warriors, id use my chaos lord to strike the shas'el and finish him off. from the building id use my regulars and go after the baneblade. by the end of the battle i should have taken out both firewarrior squads, the shas'el, and at least one of the hammerhead gunships, so id concentrate on the crisis suits. hopefully id have taken the baneblade by that time.

[Spartan-11755]

hmmmm this is a good one cause the tau have the better wep but if the zerkers reach the tau its over for the tau i'm gonna have to wait a little to see

[BrainDeleted]

What about the Chosen, IronWarrior? Where are you sending them? Infiltrating?

[IronWarriorofChaos]

yeah(sorry this is the biggest battle ive ever played) i was planing on sending them to, well, distract the crisis suits until the bezerkers and possesed got finishied with the firewarriors

[a fallen goldenage]

i could only hope that he does that, i means my suits will be able to shoot them sooner. his best chance are the bikers as they are the only unit i can't out move with the suits and only the devilfish or hammerheads (but i don't know why i'd be having them move that fast) can move faster. and i have alot of weapons with AP 3 or lower that have shot ranges (fusion blaster) so anything up close but not combat willn't be good for him. If i want a good chance of winning icolating units will be key and infiltrating will only aid me. but as said above combat = doom, which is why i don't plan on letting that happen.

[Spartan-11755]

I think that The Tau have it just for the fact that they can shoot down the chaos marines but.....all it takes is a few bad dice rolls

[SteveBerenyi]

My vote is to Tau, his 2 hammerheads will decimate the CSM's ability to hold the line and the baneblade.

Nice battle ther BW!

[juddski]

Iron Warriors..i always played defensivly with shooty armies and always got my knickers kicked by my nephew in C Combat..so on that premise whereas i think the tau have a very good chance i'm backing the munch bunch rip 'em up types


yay,my first vote

[Word Bearer 81007]

well, well, well. First I would like to point out that the tau crisis suit can't take the twin-linked weapons and a regular weapon.(the twin link counts as two weapon systems.) But with that point aside I'm gonna have to vote on the tau largely do to the fact that the fishes and suits can hold most of the infantry, while the heads pop tanks, also after the predator is killed he can lauch submuniton rounds into the squads. the only thing i would do different is gear the fishes and heads up so they can move as fast vehicles and still shoot, no penetration shots then only glances.

[BrainDeleted]

Tau.
He can out maneuver and shoot the Chaos baddies.

[a fallen goldenage]

just to clarify for word bearers 81007, a battle suit can take a twin-linked weapon and another weapon, but would not be able to take a support system. that said the one suit has the twin-linked plasma rifle and the other battle suit has the other two weapons. the other team is set up so each suit has a burst cannon and missile pod. sorry if that confused anyboby.

[Word Bearer 81007]

hehehe sorry.

[Bremmer925]

I would have to vote for the Tau due to his tactics of hit and run. I don't think the chaos force will last long enough to get into close combat.

UPDATE:

The Forces of Tau Have gained ground on obtaining the objective, but the Iron Warriors will not go quietly with a prize like a Baneblade in there sites. So far its 4-1 in the Favor of Goldenage, but theres lots of time left. Please Vote, Thanks!

[Sir_Servo]

[Chaos Lord Horus]

ooh tuff choice, TAU

[Chaosrocks]

I am going to have to go for Tau. I just can't vote for chaos with good confidence in light of goldenage's mobility and firepower. Not to be legalistic zerker, but I believe you need to give a reason for your vote for it to be valid.
