I’m looking at making a 1500pt Mechanised Tau army cause I always like a different type of game play for each of my armies Chaos provides heavy infantry, Guard provide swarm game play so I’m now interested in an all armoured army and skimmers survive longer than normal tanks, most people suggest Eldar but I prefer Tau.
So I like some hints about tactics and layout for a 1500pts ‘very competitive’ Tau Mech Army as my local gaming club is fierce! I also have a few questions…
Question 1.
Should I go for Tanks like 2 Hammerheads, 1 Skyray and 3 Separate Piranhas with 1 Seeker Missile each and support them with mounted fire warriors.
Or
Should I rely on massed ‘Fishes of Fury’ (Mounted Fire Warrior Squads) with Tanks supporting them?
Question 2.
What vehicle upgrades do you suggest for Tau Tanks apart from the Decoy Launchers which is a must?
Question 3.
Does Tau process anyway to nullify escalation rules and get the tanks on to the board quicker?
Any help from experienced players would be useful
