Global vs. Local: Why you should meta-game your local environment

Meta-GameI’ve come to a realization that blogs such as 3++, Yes The Truth Hurts, and forums such as DakkaDakka or Warseer will only get you so far when it comes to list builidng. Yes, I understand the concepts of math-hammer, and I understand the general themes of 5th edition (namely that mech is king).

January Team Tourney: 1250 Point Tau List

TauTeam tournaments are always fun. I like being partnered up with a random person.
