As part of the new Band of Brothers I've been planning the list for the Tau before figuring how to split it down over the 6 months. Shas'o - Plasma rifle, twinlinked missile pods, hard wired multi tracker, hard wired target lock Shas'vre x 2 - Missile pod x2, multi tracker x2, plasma rifle, burst cannon Shas'ui x 2 - Plasma rifle x2, multi tracker x2, burst cannon, plasma rifle Shas'ui x 2 - Missile pod, plasma rifle, multi tracker x 2 10 Kroot 6 Firewarriors 10 Kroot 6 Pathfinders - Devilfish, rail rifle, disruption pod, multi tracker, targetting array 3 Broadsides - Smart Missile, advanced stabilisation system, Team Leader w/hard-wired Drone controller, 2 shield drones & hard-wired Target Lock Hammerhead - Railgun, smart missile, disruption pod, multi tracker Hammerhead - Railgun, smart missile, disruption pod, multi tracker Comes to 1496 points. Gone for functioning force and some of the fun things to paint I've left out hence no vespids or stealthsuits. |

List seems low on fire warriors but I hate using them too battle suits have a much better function but so do stealth suits they both benefite from the jump packs so you can use stealth suits for hit and runs as well as battle suits. |

Based on everything I read Firewarriors were just seen as a waste of points. That said first thing I paint when I expand this lot is another unit of 10. Stealth suits just seem more expensive and I was trying to keep it under the points total. Not used to painting to a list like this. |

True weapon choices are better on a battle suit. And I agree firewarriors are a waste of points they are decent for holding objectives and that's about it I only have six or maybe eight but that was because they came with my devil fish |

I think I've got 30+, but for a change I'm going with the perceived logic for the army. Probably use one of the Kroot units to deal with objectives. |

Yeah, but I'm not terribly keen on their models. I may end up with some Kroot hounds. I prefer the option to infilitrate as I miss doing it with my Blood Ravens. Revised list then Shas'o - Plasma rifle, missile pod, fusion blaster, hard wired multi tracker, hard wired target lock 3 Shas'ui - Missile pod, plasma rifle, multi tracker x 3 3 Shas'ui - Missile pod, plasma rifle, multi tracker x 3 10 Kroot 10 Firewarriors 10 Kroot 6 Pathfinders - Devilfish, disruption pod, multi tracker, targetting array Piranha - Disruption pod, Fusion blaster 2 Broadsides - Smart Missile, advanced stabilisation system, Team Leader w/hard-wired Target Lock Hammerhead - Railgun, smart missile, disruption pod, multi tracker Hammerhead - Railgun, smart missile, disruption pod, multi tracker Comes to 1498 now. |

that seems like a pretty mobile list, the only thing i would change would be to swap the plasma rifles on one team for burst cannons, its slightly cheaper and is more effective against most units. I dont get this hate for fire warriors however, ive pretty much always adopted a hammer and anvil approach with my tau, fielding 20+ firewarriors at 1500pts, and using them to absolutely muller anything that gets too close when it runs away from 2 hammerheads and a few suits

I'm just going on the percieved wisdom. The piranha may be waiting now though as I can now include the battlesuit I've been painting at the moment so that may get substituted in and I'll get the piranha later. As I said once I'm not painting to this list I'm doing more Firewarriors. |
