Coaching Game: T’au Empire vs Chaos Daemons

Today in the War Room at 6pm EST we are doing another coaching match!

Join us as Richard Siegler makes his much anticipated return to the War Room, and to the Tau Empire! He will be taking his new Tau concepts into Mark Perry’s infamous Monster Mash daemons list! This represents a stark contrast of play styles, as Siegler’s Tau will be focused on flooding the board with chaff and chip damage, anchored by a single Y’vahra, while Mark has concentrated his damage output into a small number of Great Daemons! Do Tau have a path forward in 9th edition? Are Daemons a force to be reckoned with? The Command Points are low, but the stakes are high!
