Today’s picture is for the greater good however has 7th edition been great for the Tau I haven’t yet had chance to find out myself. I am however looking forward to doing so as I was getting bored of winning with my Tau don’t get me wrong winning is good but when you know pretty much whats going to happen each game it really takes the fun out of playing and is no challenge.
http://darogscompany.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/gorkanaut.html?m=1 The Orks look like they are getting some new toys to go stomping with shortly as seen in the link above..Many Ork players must have felt left out at seeing The Tau get riptides. The Eldar get their Wraithknight. The Marines getting thier teletubbies sorry Centurians. The Tyranids getting all of thier nice new Monstrous creatures and the imperial titan knights all appearing before they got there hands on any thing new well her it is waagh!!! A mini stompa called a Gorkanaut or Morkanaut, that is of similar size to the Forgeworld mega dread but smaller than a Stompa as you can see the towering behemoth in the background behind it in the picture in the link. Does this mean the new Ork codex is just round the corner or will it be a one off sale?
This Entry from Games day 2013 Golden Deamon from the open catergory depicts a sole survivor of a downed Tau Piranha being rescued by a mixed squad of Kroot carnivores and some tau Fire warriors, supported by a very well converted Shadow sun model. The diorama is entitled “Black Piranha down” from what I assume is a play on the film “Black hawk down” I must say though the Piranha doesn’t look very black and I don’t see any Somalians shooting at the Tau. Joking aside though it must have taken some doing to achieve such a nicely converted and painted diorama.
Armies on parade Tau
Here we have an entry from Games days Armies on Parade 2013. A nicely painted Tau army led by a Commander Ethereal and a fire blade.
Riptide conversion
This heavily converted Riptide is the focal point to the army armed with what looks like a twin linked Railgun, missile pods, Twin linked Plasma rifles and a power sword. I’d really like to know what cool rules the owner of this army uses for it.

Supporting Riptide
The second Riptide lies in wake to pick up the pieces.
Fog of war has started to take stead now. These are scattered accounts from remembrances for this hard fought battle.
After the conflict had begun the combined forces of the Ultramarines and Tau tried to bring their fire power on the Eldar. However the Eldar proved evasive to taking heavy casualties. Interference from the Eldar delayed the arrival of air support. As a result lots of Ultramarines and Tau died, including most of the heavy support and the Ultramarines commanding Librarian, leaving the allied forces with no real hope of destroying the source of the Phantom shaped silhouette above the field of battle.
