The Deployment:
Rubric Marines and Ahriman are inside the Rhino. All Fire Warriors are inside Devilfishes

T'au Empire Turn 1:
Units move forward, then Crisis inflict 6 wounds on the Beast and the Riptide kills Magna and the Devilfishes kill some Tzaangors.

Thousand Sons Turn 1:
I disembark Rubric Marines and Ahriman then assault the Riptide. He kills all Marine and reduces the Beast to 3 wounds in overwatch but I managed to kill him.

T'au Empire Turn 2:
Fire Warriors disembark. They wound the Daemon Prince and the rest of them kill two Tzaangors. Crisis kill the Beast, Commander kills the Defiler.

Thousand Sons Turn 2:
Daemon Prince kills the Crisis Battlesuits and Ahriman kills 2 Fire Warriors. Tzaangors inflict one wound on the Ethereal.

T'au Empire Turn 3:
Ethereal disengages and the Tzaangors are killed by the Fire Warriors. Commander takes care of Ahriman and the other Fire Warrior team inflicts a couple of wounds on the Daemon Prince. Devilfishes start to kill the Cultist squad.

Thousand Sons Turn 3:
Daemon Prince assaults the Commander but fails to kill him.

T'au Empire Turn 4:
Commander flies away and the Daemon Prince is wounded by that mass of Fire Warriors. Devilfishes kill the Cultist squad.

Thousand Sons Turn 4:
Daemon Prince assaults the Fire Warriors but he loses more wounds in overwatch then the number of his kills.

T'au Empire Turn 5:
Fire Warriors disengage and the Commander kills the Daemon Prince.

Thousand Sons Turn 5:
Remaining Rhino runs in a corner.

Lucky for me the game did not continue into turn 6. The game ended with T'au victory and the score was 7 - 4. XV109 Y'vahra Battlesuit is a overpowered motherfucker and combined with the good rolls my adversary had (on 3D6, first time 17 hits and the second time 15) it's impossible to survive. If you meet this unit on the battlefield, don't even bother playing the game. I had bad luck all game, I was really sad by the end of the game.
