Heres the doubles list im using for a tourney next week, the limitations are we're not allowed a second Elites/Fast Attack/Heavy support until we already have one of each (so to have 2 heavies you need a fast attack and an elites).

Hence the Vyper ;) Here we go:

Note: I dont have the Tau points costs as my partner hasnt written them down, but i think this is it. Clarification will come tomorrow.

HQ
Shas 'el
Plasma Rifle
Missile Pod
Multi Tracker (the one that lets you fire both weapons?)
Targetting Array

Elites
Shas 'vre
Twin Linked Missile Pods
Targetting Array

Troops
10 Fire Warriors
Shas 'ui
Devilfish
Decoy Launchers

Heavy Support
Hammerhead (if this doesnt come with a multi tracker, it has one ^^)
Railgun
Decoy Launchers

I THINK thats it. I will get it checked tomorrow. Now the Eldar half (mine) :P

Troops
8 Dire Avengers
Exarch
Bladestorm
Twin Catapults

Wave Serpent
Spirit Stones
Bright Lances

Fast Attack
Vyper
2 Shuriken Cannons
60

Heavy Support
Falcon
Holo Fields
Spirit Stones
Shuriken Cannon
165

498

Well what do we think? The only thing concerning me is the armaments of the Falcon. Im tempted to drop an avenger and the twin catapults from the Avengers to give it a second Shuriken Cannon.

Thoughts?

Flatout 500 here, so nothing else is gonna be added without something being changed. (Not sure if your friend remembered to include it, but the burst cannons on the hammer head hae to be paid for, though this ist comes out to perfect 500 with them so I'll assume they were.)

Perhaps drop the serpent and two avengers for other stuff? This way you get the points to make those upgrades to the falcon and can get a unit of something else into this list.


Fast Attack
Vyper
2 Shuriken Cannons
60

Nice choice, should do pretty good. (Tore my tau a new one the other day.)


I'm assuming your doubles game has you using he same force org chart, which is pretty cool. (Those doubles games tend to be more fun, since they actually require you to work together...:C)

Indeed we do have to use the same force org chart.

Yes the railhead has Burst Cannons, woops XD *Edit*

Well we kind of need the serpent for the Anti Tank. That and it brings us up to an ungodly four skimmers. The only list to challenge us so far has been one thats horrifically cheesy *see bottom of post*.

Hmmm..... If i lost an Avenger, i would have 14 points to play with, which would let me upgrade the Falcon with another Shuriken Cannon. That increases my theoretical Firepower. However, i then have 4 points being wasted. Damn that awkward number! If it was 5 points i would lose the second catapult and give my Falcon a Scatter Laser.

Any more ideas?

Thanks a tonne

Result:
1st game, versus the winners from two years ago (bear in mind me and my mate are 15+16, we think they chose us cos we look noobish) we won, solid victory (the look on their faces when they realised we knew what we were doing.....)

2nd game, versus last years winners. Draw, we would have won, but the time called before we could fire our hammerhead. They were dead stingey, would have taken 10 seconds, all we had to do was kill ONE scout. They won best army this year, and cos we drew them we stopped them winning (best army got an extra point, and because we forced them to a draw it allowed my friends to win :D).

3rd game. Versus dark Eldar, we killed 4 skimmers turn one, conceded 170 victory points, we got 1658. We felt really brutal towards the end. The guy was having abysmal luck. One example to sum it up. Hammerhead shoots its Burst Cannons at 4 Wyches in 4+ cover. Five 6's and a 2. All 5 wound. He rolls 5 ones. Ouch.

Because we drew the 2nd people, our best mates won conflict. Ayr! Ayr! Ayr! ^^ :ninja::ninja2::ninja3:
The winning (i.e my friends, team name "Hacking Noobs") list is:

Its fairly solid, yet to lose actually. My friend and I have come closest, forcing it to a draw (not in the tournament, beforehand).
