Hello and welcome veterans of the Librarium.
Firstly few words about meself: three years into hobby, mostly spent on painting and modelling for more combat-oriented friend, thus I'm not an experienced player. I'm running a small Space Marines army, but I've played mostly friendlies up to 1000 pts. Recently moved to UK where I could finally spread my wings (and start anew).
And since I'm quite tired of SM's "awesomeness" I'd have a go for Tau, since those little blue buggers really caught my eye - and so, I'm looking forward to build at least a 2k army.
My first army list (composed entirely in Theoryhammer) is a large "base" I'd like to build up from. It's supposed to be competitive, but I'm not aiming at defeating every single opponent. Since it's still WIP mostly (first Tau Battleforce is halfway through) I'm not afraid to make any changes - small or big.
There it goes:
HQ
1. 1x Shas'O - AFP, Cyclic Ion Blaster, Shield Generator, HW Multitracker - 135 pts.
2x Shas'vre - Burst Cannon, Plasma Rifle, Targetting Array, HW Multitracker - 146 pts.
(This unit may remain in reserve and arrive at game turn 3 via DeepStrike. Specialised anti-infantry unit, aimed at placing as many shots into opponent as possible thanks to high BS)
2. 1x Shas'El - Missile Pod, Plasma Rifle, Positional Relay, HW Multitracker - 102 pts.
2x Shas'vre - Missile Pod, Plasma Rifle, Targetting Array, HW Multitracker - 164 pts.
(Universal unit #1)
Total for HQ: 547 pts (29.5%)
Troops
1. Kroot Squad - 19 Kroots, 11 Hounds, 2 Krootox - 269 pts.
(Arright, objective sitting, plus some anti-transport shots. I'm considering splitting them into two units)
2. Fire Warriors Team - 6 FW - 60 pts.
(This one is riding Pathfinders' Devilfish)
3. Fire Warriors Team - 6 FW, Devilfish, Disruption Pod - 145 pts.
Total for Troops: 474 pts (25.9%)
Elites
1. 3x Shas'Ui - Missile Pod, Plasma Rifle, Multitracker - 184 pts.
2. 3x Shas'Ui - Missile Pod, Plasma Rifle, Multitracker - 184 pts.
(universal units #2 & #3)
3. 2x Shas'Ui - TL Fusion Blaster, Multitracker - 96 pts.
(Hmmm... I'm not entirely sure if MT is needed for TL weapons. If not, I'll gladly replace it with target lock... This is a suicidal anti-AV14 or anti-artillery unit arriving via DeepStrike at game turn 2)
Total for Elites: 464 pts. (25%)
Fast Attack
1. Pathfinders Team - 4 Pathfinders, Devilfish, Disruption Pod - 133 pts.
Total for FA: 133 pts. (7.2%)
Heavy Support
1. XV-88 Broadside team leader - Adv.Stabilisation, HW Drone Cntrl., Marker Drone - 115 pts.
2. XV-88 Broadside team leader - Adv.Stabilisation, HW Drone Cntrl., Marker Drone - 115 pts.
Total for HS: 230 pts. (12.4%)
GRAND TOTAL: 1848 pts.
Sssooo... How do you reckon? Is this list plausible?
4 the GG!
