Steve’s lack of impulse control was enabled by a listener’s request and he ended up buying an entire T’au army, building 1,500 points in two days, and taking it to Barnhammer against Cousin Josh’s Orks. Erik and Steve unpack what playing a monophase army taught him and how a back-to-basics approach to list building really helped him engage in list building and the strategy of the game.
- Steve’s swan dive into T’au — a listener suggestion, a shelf-clearing shopping trip, and why mech suits won him over
- The pressure of a monophase army — playing around the charge phase, using movement and fallback, and setting up screens so the Orks never get the fight they want
- Giving every unit a job — Erik’s four unit roles (objective holders, secondary scorers, damage dealers, buff units) and how Steve built his T’au list around them
- Necrons fail to consider unit roles — why the same approach would have saved Steve’s Immortals, who never made it out of his deployment zone
- How 11th Edition changes the gunline — terrain, hidden lanes, and the impact of no longer being able to shoot deployment zone to deployment zone
- The Tankbusta plunder incident — the moment Cousin Josh nearly gave the whole barn an aneurysm
Whether you’re here for T’au list-building lessons or just want to hear what happens when Cousin Josh declares an action with his best anti-tank unit while being surrounded by monsters and vehicles, this one’s for you.
