Novitiates vs Tau Pathfinders | Kill Team Battle Report | S1E13 

Wow, the Tau need to burn those dice... for the Greater Good.

Why no art of war ?

To improve pathfinders winrate use: * Gun drone and 11 pathfinders * 2 rail guns against 7-8 wounds enemies * Use "bounded" statagem for rerolls every turn (instead of CP rerolls) * Infiltrate gun drone. Switch order to engage for scouting. Shoot twice because of drone controller ability * Use "mont'ka" to move / shoot / dash out of LOSS for your gunners * Use stratagem for "dash on map edges" for mobility * Do not forget about shal'ui ability about free mission action (for vantage) * Buy new dice PS: Rail gun with 2 rerolls (bounded + marker) has good chances to make 2 crits. This will kill every novitate unless she can roll 2 sixes with 2 dice. Even if gunner injured and hits on 5+.

Ive said it before but I love this professional style commentary... Thank you for the hard work you have some good kill team content

Think there were too many pathfinders on engage first turn, if they'd have been concealed could've moved up and markerlighted without exposing themselves - especially the shas'ui. I believe that usually only the two weapon experts and maybe the grenadier if they've got a good throw or safe spot should be on engage - the marksman and blooded can fire while concealed. Also the shas'ui didn't need to be next to window to markerlight on first turn, put them at risk due to the engage order. Markerlight's only need to be able to see part of the model, not shoot them so ignores obscuring and cover+conceal, etc. Once a target is on four markerlights, you ignore obscuring terrain when shooting at them, so can stand back from those windows and not be hit by return fire. The recon drone can analyse targets to let someone else go after them before opponent gets a turn - they don't need to shoot the same operative so gets a lot of flexibility and can potentially knock out two threats before they can respond

"our tactics are questionable at best" 😂😂😂

Getting into Novitiates for Kill Team. Played a single match and am hooked

For the Greater loss.

Let's go! Go how far? ○ or □!

I'm new and not sure how the Tau on 13:30 was able to shoot the concealed sister, who didn't have any markerlights on her?

Good game, I could tell by the end of the first round that it was going to be an uphill battle for the Pathfinders as they weren't able to get any shots off on the Novitiates. Both sides were playing cagey but the Sisters could still make it work while the T'au were saddled not only with awful rolls, but unfortunate positioning keeping them from making good plays. With the benefit of hindsight I think flying the Recon Drone to the top of that crate could've saved him from the charge, which would have given him a chance next round for a shooting attack and an Analyze activation, but alas, this is the kind of thing I'd only think about after it was too late.

Awesome quality and commentary! I have a question about Novitiate movement - is there anything helping them move normally even when injured? Some of the moves of their injured models felt a lot more than 4" or 4+3" with Dash but maybe it's just perspective?

Really enjoyed this. I am painting up a Pathfinder team and love Tau but they do seem to lose every battle report i see in Kill Team and 40K! Wish there was scope for stealth suits in the non-compendium team...

was really hoping for the tau to get their first victory in this one, it hurts to see them lose every time😂 great battle report regardless

the novitias wons from the begining

Really enjoyed the battle report. Love that terrain!

I really like the way you mark your movement with the order tokens. Clean and effective. I'm relatively new to Kill Team, so that didn't even occur to me, but I think I may start doing that going forward.
