Cadian, Goffs, Imperial Fists and Tau Sept Competitive Tournament

 Having had a good go at the Crusade side of 9th edition, I find myself drawn back to the competitive side of things lately. With that in mind, and with the recent acquisition of my custom Astra Militarum army, as well as a new Ork Codex being released, I thought it would be an interesting experiment to come up with my take on how I like to run these armies and pit them against each other on the table top.

Detailed below are the four lists, in alphabetical order. 

Fair warning, some of these armies are not totally painted, just so you are prepared for it.

Tournament Summary

Each army will fight each other army once. Best two will fight each other for first/second place, the

 other two will fight for third. I am still assembling the Guard army, so their games will be the last ones

 to get played. I am wondering how well the 8th edition codexes are going to fair in this little

 experiment.

Anyway, until next time, happy gaming!
