Deployment:

Turn 1


 Lots of deep striking this turn! My (now) brother in law Greg asked me if Necrons were so bad at close combat then why am I trying to get into CC with Obyron. Answer from around the table: "Because Tau are even worse".
Obyron and the Lychguard teleported in and survived a round of shooting, ready to charge the Crysis suits. On the other side of the board, the Deathmarks were veil teleported by the Cryptek to mark and shoot at the Grey Hunters, but only killed 1.
Lots of action in the center of the board as Trazyn's Command Barge moved up and engaged Tau Fire Warriors (killing 2). Massed fire and marker lights from the Broadside and others immobilized the Ghost Ark, but the Warriors/Lord/Cryptek inside survived and moved out.
End of Turn 2:

  1. Under the old rules Obyron and the Despairtek could deepstrike in their movement phase. Sadly the cryptek can't and I think Obyron needs an artifact to do it
