Using one of the scenarios in the Xenos Rampant rule book, a Tau force had to perform a fighting retreat in the face of a mob of World Eaters. The Tau consisted mostly of light infantry, enabling them to escape with relative ease, although their slower moving 'Ghostkeel' walker, and a unit of heavy infantry, were brought down by the forces of Chaos.
This is our first trial run of Mantic Games new 'Epic Warpath' wargame system. Set in the Warpath Universe, it is in c.10mm scale and allows you to field reasonable sized armies whilst finishing a game in a few hours. The miniatures are great, but the rule set is what impressed us most - sleek gameplay with enough faction and special rules to keep everything interesting. I'm sure we'll see this system played here again!
