Tau Empire vs Deathwatch Warhammer 40k Battle Report
VT Coach Kyle will be commanding the Tau and Mike will be running Deathwatch.
Our VT battle reports bring a blend of entertainment and education. So if you are looking for an interactive Warhammer 40k coaching game, this will be perfect for you.
For this Warhammer 40k 9th edition battle report we will be using 2000 point strike force armies along with the missions from the Games Workshop Warzone Nachmund: Grand Tournament mission pack.
The mission for this battle report is Tide Of Conviction.
In this Warhammer 40,000 battle report, we talk through the Tau and Deathwatch army lists and the secondary objectives that work well for them.
We show you the armies, the mission, the deployment, turn by turn analysis, and the end of the turn and game coaching round-up.
