Warboss Garhak Ugul Bloodshredda Ghenga, on his way to assault an Imperial Fists patrol, finds himself confronted instead by a force of Farsight Enclaves Tau. Figuring this will be a good scrap, even if the weedy Tau don't like to get krumpin', he leads his boyz straight into the fight, since he still plans on smashing the beakies after this.

Battle Summary
I only got 1 picture this game. So, a quick summary. The Tau got first turn, and Mont'ka'd. Moving the Commander and the Crisis Team up the left side he planned to kill the Rukkboyz, but I protected them with the Grot Shields strat, making them untargetable. SO he shot the grots, and charged his Commander in the Rukkboyz, killing 4 boyz, and then they swarmed him. Commander down.
On the Ork turn, the Rukkboyz ran over the Crisis Suit Team, wiping them out. Ghenga and Nogbugg combined to wipe out the Strike Team.
Turn 2 for the Tau, Farsight shot and charged Ghenga, for no damage. Ghenga killed him on the backswing. The Riptide killed Nogbugg.
At his point the Tau conceded, with not enough shots to thin down the still numerous mobs to balance the endgame points.
The Riptide was able to exfiltrate for 26 points.
Ghenga and both the Rukkboyz and the Lucky Blue boyz were able to exfiltrate, for a total of 72 points.
Goffs victory.

Summary
For the second time, this Tau Commander trusted to the strength of Mont'ka and hurled his high-mobility units right into the teeth of a rampaging ork horde, and paid the price for his hubris. As the old saying goes, quantity has a quality of its own. It was a fun game, and the boyz are always looking for a good scrap!
Until next time, happy gaming!
