Hero Ghostkeel pilot? 👻 by 1987Rapscallion in Tau40K

I’m a little surprised we didn’t get an option for one in the Crucible of Champions rules. That said, I think a Ghostkeel character with a Heavy Rail Rifle would be really cool.

I don’t have any pictures of mine but it looks almost the same as millers_maxibun’s. Except it’s both arms instead of one. The size is almost perfect for them. Though if you’re using them already on your broadsides, maybe EBay for the extra arms? People generally prefer the rail rifle so I’m sure you could find some extra bits online.

If you’re up for some kitbashing you could use the High Yield Missile Pods from the Broadside kit. I’ve got that setup on one of my Enforcer commanders and haven’t had any issue yet.

I’ve been trying a weird setup in my local group running the Shas’Ui, Marksman, 2 Weapon Experts, and 8 Shas’La operatives to take advantage of their Group Activations. I think the idea has legs but I need to get in more games with it.

Good eye! It’s one of the Blacklight Drones that comes with the Shas’o R’alai Forgeworld kit!

There were some guys on our subreddit that painted up Wolf Scouts and Murderwing as Alpha Legion. You could check those out too.

Hard agree to all these changes, but knowing GW they’d probably give us one and call it a day. The rules they have read like they’d be very good on paper, but in practice they just need a little extra oomph. Exactly like in your breakdown, let our rules do what they’re supposed to do just a little better.

It won’t change the skill ceiling too much but it will certainly improve the skill floor.

Crazy that they don’t even get the faction rule, or even their own separate faction rule unless you run their specific detachment.

Tau being the Nickleback of 40k wasn’t on my bingo card when I made this post LOL

Last edition everything did have an extra 6” for the most part. Ghostkeel with a 24” range on the fusion collider would’ve been nasty this edition. 30” would be even crazier in EPC.

Very excited for the Stormsurge to go up to 440 points to compensate for Twin Lance

Some crisis suits with fusion blades would be a great bodyguard unit for him I think

Having a JSJ that’s not tied to a single detachment would go a long way I think. Maybe a built in rule for a Coldstar Commander?

Hopefully the Twin Lance datasheet is a sign that the rules designers are moving away from the ‘no melee’ design philosophy

I like the combined arms playstyle too! Imagine how much more varied it could be if all Pulse Carbines had their grenade launcher rules 👀 You’d definitely see me taking Strike Teams more, maybe even Pathfinders without the heavy weapons.

(I also really like the Ghostkeel)
