The Empire Strikes Back

Last Saturday was the start to returning to 40k as a regular game. I ran a 2,000 point T'au gunline list against some Necrons in a game that only lasted three turns. Results/reasoning below...

It's clobberin' time!

As I said in my last post, it's been a while since I tried to play one army/list/deck/whatever in one game actively enough to take it to the next level and compete with it.

There were some really cool-looking armies present, noticeably several very large models (several Lords of War, FW Superheavies, etc). But, I'm not counting it as a win for the codex or the army (despite the fact that it clearly did). Why?
