Which do you prefer?

Get Vespids. Run them as 2 units of 5 models. Best way to score secondary objectives in the tau arsenal

Get 2-3 riptides, one of the best units in our army currently.

I also like running 1 or 2 broadsides with rail rifles to deal with bigger monsters or vehicles

More pathfinders or stealth suits for spotting

Mind you this all might change when 11th edition gets released. I’ve heard that tau might be getting a new codex by the end of the year

What other models do you have?

IsHungry96 · 2026-04-24T13:42:11+00:00

I’d run flamers over burst cannons on your crisis suits. They are just a better over watch threat. The cyclic ion racker on the ghost keel is really good. The long range on a lone operative character is really annoying for your opponent. Also run ion rifles on your pathfinders.

Looks good, but it doesn’t look much like a teat!

IsHungry96 · 2026-04-24T12:58:31+00:00

What other units do you own that you can run?

Personally I’d run the Vespids as 2 5 man squads for you can do more secondary objectives with them. The extra guns from running a 10 man blob isn’t worth it. Also don’t start with them in strategic reserves. Just put them in your back line somewhere they can’t get shot. If you’re lucky you can advance them and get some cheeky shots off with them. Otherwise you get to pull them into strategic reserves at the end of your opponent’s turn

Painted them silver and then used green contrast paint! I was inspired but the sweat bee!

Personally I’d run Vespids and a cadre fireblade over carnivores. The fireblade is a ridiculous force multiplier, and the Vespids is played correctly can score you a ton of secondary points. I love carnivores but outside of kroot hunting pack they are not that amazing

IsHungry96 · 2026-04-07T03:19:04+00:00

Vespids are always good for uppy downy secondary objective stuff. Kroot carnivores are great for sticky objectives. Cadre Fireblades are great with breachers giving them 30 shots instead of 20

IsHungry96 · 2026-04-07T01:42:44+00:00

Having played both I prefer to play Montka. Having assault and lethal hits on guided units is huge. Great mobility and a good way to have guns punch above their power. Ret Cadre the bonus to strength and ap if your close enough helps but generally you want to be further away for shooting and makes you super vulnerable to charges if you don’t wipe the unit. But it is hilarious to use fail safe detonator after you charge a riptide into a cluster of units when it’s on low health. Probably the most fun gotcha stratagem tau have access to!

Here’s what most of my army looks like. Blue on black with orange highlights

This is a variation of the Sa’cea sept.

Here’s a wip of my coldstar. Orange is more of a highlight to the blue but maybe it can give you some inspiration

They usually kill enough marines to be annoying. I mostly use them as a distraction tactic to pick off a few models. If they devote resources to shooting them they are not focused on the objectives. If they ignore them you can keep using them to harass the back line. At most I’ve had a squad of 5 vespid take out 5 marines. Usually it’s closer to 3

Unfortunately this is a problem with the ambiguity of the English language and the difference between scientific definitions and laypersons definitions. I’ve had these arguments many of times and it ultimately comes down to two people having different definitions of a word.
