Welcome, today's Art of War Battle Report features Nick's Legion of Excess Chaos Daemons versus Richard's Kroot Hunting Pack and Experimental Prototype Cadre T'au Empire!

As always, this competitive battle report is going to focus on the tactics and strategies employed by two of the best players in the world. How will both of these armies adapt to the new 11th Edition competitive meta? Does Kroot jail still work, or will Slaanesh be doing the jailing here?

Nick's Daemons are led by 2x Keeper of Secrets, one with False Majesty and the other with Soul Glutton, a Tormentbringer with Dreaming Crown, a Contorted Epitome, and Syll'esske, supported by 5x units of Daemonettes, 3x units of 6 Fiends, and a Beast of Nurgle.

Richard's T'au Empire are led by Commander Farsight attached to Crisis Fireknife Battlesuits, The Twin Lance, and a Kroot Lone-Spear, supported by 3x units of 10 Kroot Carnivores, 2x units of Kroot Farstalkers, 3x units of 6 Krootox Rampagers, a unit of 2 and a unit of 3 Krootox Riders, a unit of Stealth Battlesuits and a Stormsurge.

Today’s battle will be fought using the Priority Assets versus Take and Hold matchup on the new 11th Edition Terrain format, Hammer and Anvil, Layout B!
