Aggro Tau! Adeptus Custodes vs T'au Empire Warhammer 40k 10th Edition 2000 point Battle Report

- As promised we're shaking things up with some of the other new Tau codex detachments this week, taking the Retaliation Cadre out for a spin! The Custodes are still struggling a bit on the competitive scene, but Tom loves them, and fancies trying out a new list with one goal - charge the Tau, and hope they don't whiff!
Add to this a scenario with extra objectives AND moving objectives, it's going to be a fun one! One of the last runouts for the Leviathan Mission cards this week, and we're very much excited for the next installment of Warhammer 40k with the Pariah Nexus decks dropping soon!
Ditching the Kroot this week, the Tau focus on trying out one of every new Crisis squad - melta, flamer and plasma. The holy trinity. Backed up by a few broadsides, a smattering of very handy (in fact - best unit in the game) stealth suits and the usual Piranhas, Ghostkeel and Riptide. No Breachers for this week, but they'll be back..
In the Custodes corner Tom's cracking out both dreadnought variants, a fancy Forge World tank, lots of wardens, terminators and some cheeky flying praetors. Not a lot of models but they sure do pack a punch.
As always if you happen to be a faction specialist and want to chuck us some thoughts, please do whack a comment below or hit us up on instagram! Lots more coming down the pipe with our new codex (and new studio army) Chaos Space Marines debut (sorry, this one was delayed, long story...), this coming Monday a re-debut for the Adeptus Mechanicus facing down some Imperial Knights, and once Dan has finished some voice overs - part 2 of our narrative series.

Well at least this time nobody kicked the objectives the wrong way!
What a game! The custodes really tried to put up a last stand there, eh? I cackled in the first turn when you asked if tau had any charges. Keep up the good work! I'm suffering with you in the Golden light. Stay strong!
My man! They're a bit hit and miss the Custodes, Auric Champions is definitely the way to go but it's a hard matchup against Tau who can get close and personal. Thanks for watching and sending the support!
The Tau paint scheme is exactly what ive been looking for and didnt know it. What colors did you use?
Hah! Yes mate. So if you use citadel paints - black primer, Castilian green airbrush at a 45 degree angle, white spray from a distance to get the edges and whack it with ogryn camo from 45 degrees. Bit of a faff but the idea is you keep a nice black to dark green to bright green gradient from the recesses, and the white before the final green really makes it pop! Then tidying up with black and dark grey. Hope that makes sense?
@WeirdWolfGames it does make sense, ive been considering getting an airbrush. Just got into the hobby, so havent invested the money into that side yet.
That being said, ill give it a shot with a paint brush and hope i can make it look smooth! Thanks for the reply!
@GunsAndAccessories honestly it’s the best thing I’ve ever invested in for the hobby! Just cheapy starter sets from Amazon do an amazing job. We have so much we’ve had to paint up, it’s been a life saver. Good luck, let me know how you get on!
Very good looking paint job
Farsights ability of plus one to wound is both ranged and Combat
Starscythe get an AP bonus against everything that ISN'T a vehicle! Those sisters should have been dead, and the suits are very good!
Sorry we missed these! Those sisters should have been so dead. Better I lose out rather than gain from getting rules wrong!
For the starscythes, you get +1 AP vs everything EXCEPT monsters and vehicles, so that last sister should have died. With retaliation's 6" bonus the flamers get pretty scary at S5 AP-2, basically anti-elite flamers, great to plop in front of a melee unit, wipe half of them out in shooting, then dare them to try and move or charge.
Dammit! That stupid sister! -2 flamers are horrendous, I was thinking of the combo with farsight as well but it’s a bit of a points sink. Thanks for the correction pal, and thanks for watching.
I think you cannot ignore damage like that with stealth drones on ghostkeel. Before you role saving wound you decide if you want to spend stealth drones not after you see outcome of the saving wound roll. Basically you chose to auto pass saving wound.
Reason for this is in the wording of the ability it says allocated attack not allocated damage.
I was playing like you before I realized it's not fair 😅
Ah I think in the core rules allocate comes after wound roll in the attack sequence, so you’re right I shouldn’t have rolled to save! Thanks for the clarification, Tom will be very happy, he hates the ghostkeel!
I love ghostkeel because of all the tears it brings 🤣
Too right!
Don't forget riptides have teo missile drones, and starsythes are ap 1 against NON MONSTERS AND VEHICLES lol
Badly misplayed those starsythes! And mate I always forget about those drones. Will make an effort on it for next time!
Amazing red and gold tank.
Great video.
What drones did your flamers have? Potential for a gun drone to wipe that last model.
I used to run multiple shield drones but with the new codex can only run 1 on each! May well have forgotten a spare gun drone, good point, I should really put the models down as markers to remember, but the guys make such a fuss about them 😂
A guy at club just puts them on his data card as a reminder that way they aren't in the way on field.
Great to see someone using retaliation cadre. I'm thinking about doing quite similar to you with a couple exceptions.
I have had pretty good success chucking a markerlight and a dun drone on the flamer squad. Using them to spot, negate cover, and wreck backline infantry.
The other one is taking missle drones on the broadsides instead of shields. I found i can do a significant amount of damage with missle drones. And the shield drones on my backline either don't get used or am charged by a unit that makes those extra wounds unnoticeable.
Great video
Oh tasty idea on the marker spotting flamer crisis, who cares about -1 to hit for targeting a different unit if you don’t roll to hit! Thanks for the tips and for watching mate, think I’m trying out classic index detachment next time round to see how it holds up. If you haven’t checked out the mont’ka report that was fun too!
Good game, probably should have played torchstar gamit on that commander unit in first turn to allow him to use his enhancement and deploy somewhere else
Kicked myself for that! Thanks for watching
Those Custodes /w shields have 4 LP each, so the ghostkeel wouldnt have killed 3 to begin with. The Allarus Shield Captain has a special ability to reduce the incoming damage of each hit to 1 for the phase, so he wouldnt have died T2. Also they have crits on 5s only in one melee phase, but then get both ka'tar-stances simulatiously army-wide... i guess there are several more things for the golden boys... they are better, than they are made believe to be, you just have so damn much to keep in mind with them. its a real shame ^^'
Agreed, it was my bad. Always jumping between armies and struggle to keep all of it in mind. I think we corrected the sheild mistake and added one guy back in. I forgot to use the once per battle crits. Thanks for the call outs. I will try to better rep them next time.
Hahahah I think sunforges have two fusions each for total of 6 dice and you were rolling 12 dices at one point mid game 😂😂😂 honest mistake i understand but funny how anoyed your opponents was
Might have got carried away… still funny when Tom gets upset
Cardre is pronounced carder, i dont know why everyone gets it wrong apart from English making no sense lol
Hah! I’ll try next time!
