Best of 2012:Tau Army Round-up

By Rob Baer | January 8th, 2020 | Categories: Armies on Parade, Best of, Tau, Warhammer 40k

Well in keeping with the New Year’s tradition, here is the best of Tau that I featured in 2012!

If you want to find out more about any of these armies, you can always click on the Tau category as well.

Welcome to Armies on Parade, where I display (in hopefully good detail) some great looking armies from major tournaments all across the United States.

If you click on the Armies on Parade label you’ll be able to scroll through some great looking armies, all at once.

It’s like you were at a major event yourself, all from the comfort of your home or smart phone!

Don’t forget to click links to view the whole army feature, and comment with your vote for the Best of 2012!  – Enjoy MBG
