I let him chose the terrain to give him advantage so he picked the dense city terrain. And I rolled KP game. He won the roll and decided to go first. I castled at 1 corner to stay away as far as I can from his Centurions.
Kadir played very well with little room for mistakes. On 2nd turn, his whole army is in front of me. It was tense. Game lasted 6 turns ended with my Victory 12-8 points. He managed to kill 3 riptides which is pretty impressive.

Just had an awesome civil war against Pax's Tau Empire army. His list has:

1 x Cadre Fireblade
12 x Fire Warriors
1 x Cadre Fireblade
12 x Fire Warriors
1 x Skyray
1 x Hammerhead with Railgun (Longstrike upgrade)
2 x 3 Crisis Suits with 4 Fusion Blasters, 2 Plasma Rifles
3 x Missilesides with 6 Missile Drones
8 x Pathfinders
7 x Pathfinders
2 x Riptides with Ion Accelerator, TL SMS


We fought in the city terrain with mission was KP. Epic battle fluff where the Tau Empire sent their army to hunt for Farsight but Farsight retaliate. There were 6 Riptides on the board! In the end no riptide died. lol
Pax conceded as I took down all his other stuff on turn 4, probably due to me starting 1st turn.

We discussed and agreed the next battle, he will bring his 4 riptides (1 of them is FW). Wooo hooo!!! Robot monster madness! 8 Riptides on board fighting.
