Shadowsun

Commander with full body guard in Helos build
-Shas'O, Stimulant Injectors, Shield Generator.

Full Fire Knife Squad with Multi Trackers

Full Death Rain Squad with Flamers

Stealth Team with Fusion, Mark light, 2 Mark-light Drones and 8 Gun drones.

Fire Warriors in War Devil Fish

20 Kroot w/ 12 Hounds

10 Kroot w/ 2 Ox

The Goal is to give nothing for the opponent to shoot at till they are in range of I have killed transports and Vehicles. The Kroot with Hounds will outflank to go for an objective with the Fire Warriors while the 2nd Kroot Squad sits on the home base. The three Crisis Suits will hide and pick off targets responding to threats as needed. The Stealth Team and Shadow Sun will Infiltrate and keep the Flanks clear and Mark-light any need to kill targets. Also the Huge Stealth Team can hit infantry hard if needed. The Squad leaders Mark-light can turn the squad in to a of minimum of Bs 3 torent of S 5 Death, I've Killed whole squads before with it.

Opinions are welcome, the biggest change is the removal of a Rail Gun Hammer head and 2 Broadsides to get it down to 1750pts. ]]> Tau Army Lists Willance http://www.librarium-online.com/forums/tau-army-lists/183217-1750-no-heavy-support.html http://www.librarium-online.com/forums/tau-army-lists/183158-1750pts-new-tau.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:36:58 GMT Hi.

I have long wanted to do a tau list and I just fell in love with the XV8 suits. I like the play style of the tau to hit and run. Alot more speed than my footslogging necrons.

My hole plan is to only deploy the HQ (hiding it) and reserv averything ealse. Turn two I use my Postional Relay to bring one squad maby the suicide suits with flamers. This forces my army on more round in reserv. This means that turn three almost all of my army comes in and then I'll come on the side that is the weakest and shot at key targets like troops or transports up to slow my opponent down. Then in turn five I'll move into contest and take objektives.

Hope you like and please feel free to give some addvice. I'm not all about the most cost effcient. Just to have a good strategy and a fun army. ]]> Tau Army Lists Warlord Zaktoznaz http://www.librarium-online.com/forums/tau-army-lists/183158-1750pts-new-tau.html http://www.librarium-online.com/forums/tau-army-lists/183132-farsight-1500-pts.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:33:34 GMT I thought I'd post something here because the Tau Army List section has been pretty quiet now for over a week. It should be a list we can talk about, and make changes to.

Of course, the premise being Commander Farsight is the HQ in the list, and this is the only unchange-able unit in the list. The rest of the list is pretty typical, with hammerhead, broadside, pathfinders, etc.

I'm looking to 'diversify' the list a little bit (I'm doing decently well with it in competative play - well, outside of KP missions), perhaps by taking some things away and adding another unit or two that would fluff the list up a bit without hampering its playability. I am currently about 50%/50% W/L with the list, which considering its nature, makes me pretty happy (my Lysander list is my very competative list).

It tends to do well against most mech lists (which seems to be all of them in my area lately), but it tends to struggle on infantry heavy lists (be it heavy or light infantry).

well... wait... i'm not sure if the points were right before...

the points man! gah... I don't think my excel spreadsheet is adding right... one second...

NEW LIST!

HQ
Farsight - 170
Bodyguard - 328
1 Helios4 (FB/PR/TA/HWMT) w/2 SD
1 Fireknife4 (PR/MP/TA/HWMT) w/2 SD
1 NoIdeaWhatTheNameIs4 (FB/MP/TA/HWMT) w/2 SD
I broke the bodyguard into 3 distinct suits, not necessarily for any reason besides modeling and painting. I guess I could try to play the wound allocation game at times, but really I did this to make the unit more fun to model and paint (using the different Forgeworld suits).

ELITE
Deathrain squad (2 TLMP & Flamer) - 94

Fireknife Squad (1 TmLd w/PR/MP/TA/HWMT & 1 PR/MP/MT) - 139

TROOPS
6-Man Firewarrior w/Devilfish (DP) - 145
6-Man Firewarrior - 60

FAST ATTACK
Pathfinder Squad w/Devilfish (DP) - 181

HEAVY SUPPORT
Hammerhead Gunship (RG/BC/MT/DP/BSF) - 168

Broadside Battlesuit Team (TmLd XV-88 w/ASS & 2 SDs & 1 XV-88 w/ASS) - 215
