An army of Orcs managed to overcome the fierce firepower of the Tau Empire to land an historic win.
Who says you need fancy weapons and high falutin' strategy and tactics, when all you have to do is screech WAAAAGH! at the height of your voice and charge headlong at the enemy?
The Orc casualties were horrific, but who cares? They certainly don't....

Tonight we had a venture into 'historical science fiction', wargaming an historical campaign set in the past of the future....???! This was based on Warhammer 30,000 the 'Horus Heresy'.
We had heretic Iron Warriors of the IV Legion pitted against the loyalist Revenant Legion (later to be renamed Blood Angels).
This game had a retro feel, albeit set in the future, although 10,000 years before the the 40,000 universe of contemporary times.
Confused? You should be....
The Tau Empire make their first appearance on this 40K battlefield, pitted, as they were, against the ruthless Death Guard. Tau fire power eventually wasted enough of the Death Guard units away to secure a couple of convincing wins in these 1,500 point match-ups.
