Great battle ! Those xiphons are beasts... Why not try a battle marines vs imperial navy to see what thunderbolts and other navy planes can do against those flying bricks !!😅
@@jongrantminiatures Would love to see a Tau tiger shark-heavy list. I think I remember a while ago you saying at some point you weren't a huge fan of the tiger shark as a mainline fighter bomber, but they're easily my favorite Tau aircraft. At 150, my go-to list has been two Remora drones, two AX-1-0s with L-BBCDs & PHRCs, and two AX-1-0-4s with CIBDs and PICs, with one having a seeker missile bay to make up the last two points. I've been playing semi-competitive games with my friends at the 150-point limit for a while, and we like how the bigger games give you more varied decisions in list building. Also, on an unrelated note, have you thought about playing Aeronautica games on Tabletop Simulator? I know I'd love to see you play against other players and see how you fare, even if your Aeronautica scene isn't big where you are.
@@jongrantminiatures I guess you can try it against my other go-to list, which consists of two Vultures with punisher cannons, and four Thunderbolt Furies, one with a pair of skystrikes to use the two extra points. As you said in your article the furies are great damage dealers for their points, and at three wounds and six maneuvers, they can go toe to toe with two-wound fighters and win reliably. I've tried Imperial Navy lists with just six of them, but find they're very clunky when the enemy closes, like Eldar or Necrons. To make up for that I brought in my two Vultures since they can jink just like those two close-range factions, and still perform well even up close, basically just emulating an Eldar Nightwing with scatters.
The vampire is a beast. Such awesome-looking models. Thanks for the video ✌
Thank you for watching. The Vampire is good aircraft.
Great battle !

Will do! I have a bunch of other games filmed and ready to edit first but I will get around to that. My feeling is that the Xiphons are OP.
Would love to see some bigger games! Maybe a 150-200 point game?
OK, I was planning on filming something this weekend. Do you have a mission in mind? Forces?

@@granteklund9943 I will try this list. I have all the aircraft. Any particular mission and/or opponent?
@@granteklund9943 I would worry that a bunch of Xiphons would wreck that list.
