tau for the campaign

[LizardTau]

so here is what i was thinking to start with for tau for the campaign

Hq

Shaso, tl missile pod, plasma rifle, dark sun, target lock, multi tracker, iriduim armour and stimulant injector

Elite

3 man stealth units, leader with tarrgeting array and fusion gun, and other two with targetting arrays

Troops

6 x 9 man fire warrior sqauads

Fast

3 x 4 man path finders with devilfish with smart missiles, disruption pods, multi trackers and flachette discharges

Heavy

2 x 2 man broadsides leaders with black sun, target lock, and drone controllers with 2 shield drones and they all have targetting arrays

hammer head, ion cannon, smart missiles, multi tracker, blacksun and disruption pods

aegis defence line, with quad gun

1998 points

i think ill put a unit of boardsides in the aegis defence with the shaso so that no crazy flamers can kill my unit easy. as well as my shaso can do a tonne of shooting. three small units of pathfinders might be able to do a lot rather then two larger units, and then i have three devil fish so i can move my fire warrior around easier. ether infiltrate my stealth unit or deep strike them to melta something really just there since i had extra points

I dont see the Aegis?

[LizardTau]

lol forgot to put it in, ill fix it now lol

[danydaigle24]

its a pretty good Tau list. I tough you would be with me for the campaign! now you are my ennemy!

[LizardTau]

yeah, i was going to but anouther chaos player might join and zenos are lower and it is better if its more even. So i told conner i could play tau to even it out.

I like your thinking with breaking up the pathfinders and putting 3 devil fish in play, but I don't see any of the Str7 or AP2 Tau are infamous for. I don't know the specifics of the campaign if there is any special requirements or whatnot, but I think you'd do good to bring along some crisis suits.

You could maybe drop the Stealth Suits and 1 unit of FWs to get some? Bringing more ML/PR suits is always a good thing, and would give you options as to where to put your commander (instead of always in the aegis)

[LizardTau]

yeah i like suits, i have been staying away from them latly only because all mine (other then my commander) have broken legs and i didnt want to fix them lol. but i should use them suits are good

[harryf]

excellent, can always use another ally
strange, is it not, that tau would be allied with the tyranids for the campaign as fellow xenos

[LizardTau]

the campaign generalizes it to three factions, imperium, chaos, and xenos. which is a little unbalanced since there is really only two chaos armies.

Maybe tau invented a machine that can control nids

[danydaigle24]

Dont worry we only need Chaos and Daemons to rule the world

[LizardTau]

ok deal you chaos, and daemons can take one world and we will have the rest, lol
