Warhammer 40k Battle Report: Drukhari vs Tau
In this Warhammer 40k Battle Report we see the New Drukhari go up against the Tau.
Often a tough match up for the Drukhari, we will see ho it fairs with the new codex.
This epic battle report Joe will be showcasing the new Drukhari Codex and a modified version of the list ran in the Youtube battle report vs the Ultramarines.
We go through the army, its new rules, Stratagems and abilities.
The Drukhari won't have all their way. Jack a seasoned T'au player with alot of victories under his belt will be looking to claim another win!
For this Warhammer 40k 9th edition battle report we will be using 2000 point strike force armies along with the missions from Games Workshop Grand Tournament 2020 mission pack.
The mission for this battle report is Vital Intelligence.
A 5 objective Mission, with a Hold 2, Hold 3 stipulation.
Where once you claim an objective, you can leave it in your following movement phase and it still counts as yours till your opponent steals it.
In this Warhammer 40,000 battle report we talk through the T'au army and the secondary objectives that work well for them.
We also go through the new Drukhari army list and their new secondary objectives.
We show you the armies, the mission, the deployment, turn by turn analysis and with the end of the turn and game round-up.
If you are looking for a new competitive Drukhari army using the rules from their 9th edition codex, but also themed to their narrative play style then you will love this list.
