They target most troops as there weapons are generally effective against most troops. Got 2 fire warrior squads with smart fishes to go agaist assault troops using the fish of fury tactic. The other two are to hold my objective while shooting enemies from a safe distance. Broadsides are for anti tank basically find cover and stay there not much to it. last but not leat is two hammerheads which can either be anti tank or infantry i usually use the latter unless i realy need to. thx for reading  Last edited by Skarsgard; May 31st, 2009 at 04:39. |

Overall this is a fantastic list for a first-timer. Very solid. I would use kroot instead of your footslogger fire warriors. That would free up space for multi-trackers and you would be near 1500 pts. PS: Remove the individual points costs from your list. GW has copyright laws on it | ||

I inserted my opinions within the quote... [quote=Bailey;1462438]this is my firt tau list i hav taken advice given on the internet and made it into this ive done a little playtesting with it and its been faily successful. Hq Battlesuit commander shas’el Plasma Rifle Cylic ion blaster Hard wired drone controller 2 shield drone Hw Multi tracker Bonding knife………………………………………………….135pts - Drop the CIB, as this weapon relies too much on lucky dice rolls to be effective. I had used this weapon for quite some time, before I "saw the light" on these forums. You can replace it with a missile pod (as this list is your first) or a fusion blaster (if you rather just go gun-ho!). Get a target array, drop the bonding knife (rather useless on a single suit), drop the shield drones (as they don't last very long anyway) for 1-2 gun drones instead. Elites 2 xv8 crisis suits 2 plas rife 2 burst cannons 2 targetting array 2 hw multi trackers ……………………………………………136pts -Your selections are a bit "illegal" here, but no biggie. Only the team leader/Shas'vre can take hard-wired items. Upgrade a suit to a team leader, and give him a hard-wired drone controller with a ML drone. Drop the targetting arrays for multi-trackers ( markerlights will help with your B skill). Drop the burst cannons for missile pods. Troops 10 fire warriors shas’ui bonding knife ………………………………………………………115pts dfish disruption pod sms targeting array multi tracker …………………………………………………….120pts 10 fire warriors shas’ui bonding knife ………………………………………………………115pts dfish disruption pod sms targeting array multi tracker…………………………………………………….120pts 10 fire warriors shas’ui bonding knife ………………………………………………………115pts 10 fire warriors shas’ui bonding knife ………………………………………………………115pts -Make your FW teams 12man strong. You don't need both devilfish, as one can be used to "taxi" any of your teams. Drop the SMS and targetting arrays, as they are pretty much useless on devilfish. Just the disruption pods and MT will do. heavy support 3 broadsides 3target lock…………………………………………………..225pts Hammerhead gunship Railgun Burst cannons Disruption pods……………………………………………………155pts Hammerhead gunship Railgun Burst cannons Disruption pods ……………………………………………………155pts -Take the Advanced Stabilisation System for your broadsides. Being able to move, will increase there ability to survive. Add a multi-tracker to your HH, as keeping it moving will help it survive ( not to mention the ability to keep firing all its weapons within reason ). You could drop a HH for a Sky Ray, arming it with BCs, disruption pod, and MT. Likewise, you can just give your second HH the ion cannon. TOTAL……………………………………………………………..1526pts plz say what you think were good chioces and what were bad and what to change them with. this is my general tactic for each unit: commander and suits find a piece of terrain and deep stike popping in and out of it shooting the enemies. They target most troops as there weapons are generally effective against most troops. -The CIB has a chance to be good against horde forces, but that's it. Got 2 fire warrior squads with smart fishes to go agaist assault troops using the fish of fury tactic. The other two are to hold my objective while shooting enemies from a safe distance. -If I recall correctly, the "fish of fury" tactic loses its edge with the new 5th edition rules. You can sit on objective, with devilfish-based FWs, and its two gun drones. That makes three units on the objective. Just be careful of the mission, as your DGs will become easy kill points for your opponent. Broadsides are for anti tank basically find cover and stay there not much to it. last but not leat is two hammerheads which can either be anti tank or infantry i usually use the latter unless i realy need to. -If you wish to go that route, with your HH, give one the ion cannon. Its a higher S value, plus the railgun submunitoin scatters now (if I recall correctly). Take the support system, I suggested earlier, for your boradsides. They will survive longer. thx for reading -You are welcome. It was my pleasure. [/quote] I would like to point out, the guides at the top of the Tau forums. They are a "must read", and they have helped me a thousand times over. You should include a pathfinder team, as their MLs will help your shooting greatly. As we all know, Tau are all about "shooting".
