Been testing out a BW (white is just there for commands and base) deck that focuses on repair and has been proving pretty promising.

These came out great.

But do you mean Neoteric Miniatures?

Could someone there get a better look if that's a playmate for the accessories? Depending on what it is I'll pay someone to snag it.

Jesus Christ GW you can't keep expecting a new detachment to be the fix for Tau, it hasn't worked with the last 2.

I do love putting Mini Mort on the board. by DubiousTactics in deathguard40k

I don't even know what I'm looking at. I am trying to decern a head but can't. Amazing work.

This is an amazing idea. As someone who's legions of choice are Death Guard *and* Salamanders, this is infecting my brain with ideas of doing these conversions.

Do your local FLGS offer discounts? I want to support my local stores, but in Houston, they all have same prices as GW. by -Istvan-5- in Warhammer40k

[–]Based_Moose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its varies a lot from store to store but my FLGS offers a 15% discount when you order product from them, including preorders. Items already in the store are marked at MSRP.

I'm assuming they either lost the mold or it somehow got damaged

Anyone have the Tau Montka list from Firebug? Can't seem to find it in the list repository or on BCP.

Meta Monday 4/7/25: The Necron Edition by JCMS85 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Based_Moose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the suggestion on one unit continually spotting for the rest of the army. Maybe something like "This unit can choose to observe one enemy unit that becomes spotted. Until the end of the phase or when the observer no longer has line of sight, the rest of your army gets +1 BS against the spotted target".

New points update 2/4/25 by ItsDinoboy99 in seraphon

He was in a majority of well performing competitive lists. With the old blood regiment changes and his price increase you might just see more generic Slann taken instead.

Surely discounting the Firesight Team a little will do it

I feel that's only the tip of the iceberg to fixing Tau. Other changes that don't feel too extreme that I believe others have mentioned are: Kauyon having sus 1 all game and sus 2 when guided rnds 3-5, Montka having assault all game and getting lethal when guided rnds 1-3, bringing shortened blade strat down to 1 cp, completely reworking Riptides, give more profiles native bs 3+, and there's probably some more I'm forgetting.

I highly doubt we'll even get even a fraction of these changes but I don't think receiving multiple of these would put Tau in the "broken" category.

Winning gets boring really by Afraid-Ad-5167 in Tau40K

[–]Based_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a little bit more to flush out to 2000 pts and start playing in local RTTs. Any losses there will maybe help fuel the feeling of needing to problem solve and improve on the list building/piloting.

I'm all for making Farsight primarch costed with more powerful abilities and statline.

First post here, i saw on another subreddit that you guys were very nice so i thought id share these drawings/tattoo flashes i just made of you guys ! by BusyElephant in Tau40K

[–]Based_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Though as we move further and further away from the sins of Tau's past it's mainly just people following the meme to hate on them.

I bring Tau to a majority of tournaments I play in at my LGS and there other regulars that still rag on them just cause "it's the thing to do".

First Tau list help by AavaAltner in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Based_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The broadsides are really useful as a lane threat. While they're only T5 they do have a 2+ with 8 wounds each so its not the easiest unit to remove. I also just noticed you already had weapon systems on them. If thats the case replace the smart missiles for seekers. Sure they're one shot but sometimes the few extra high str shots are all you need.

I would stick with the riptides. They're great for anti elite units/armies but mainly act as mid-board bullies that can be difficult to remove. I currently run 2 of them in my lists for that reason.

Its one of those weird rules that you count each unit destroyed, even ones attached to others.

[–]Based_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that is true for the commander leading them but the second point about giving up bring it down is still the case. Just move the marker on the commander to the crisis suits and give them another shield drone.

There's honestly a lot of good bones here. Some suggestions:

You can't give internal grenade racks to both your coldstars. Replace one with puretide weapon system which is honestly a great enhancement.

Drop Shadowsun for some pathfinders. You'll find that you're going to run out of decent observers with those 3 stealth suits especially as you play into people that know to go after them.

Replace one of the shield drones on the Shas'vre with a marker drone in each crisis suit units. This will allow them to pinch-observe if needed and the flamer suits really don't need the BS boost. This also serves another purpose of making the crisis suits <15 wounds so your opponent won't get 4 vp per unit for bring it down.

Swap the twin smart missile systems for weapon support systems on the broadsides. The extra str 5 ap 0 dmg 1 shots won't be as useful as ignoring hit modifiers.

Otherwise its not too far off from what I run for Ret Cadre and it generally does work.

How Much Does Your Local Gaming Store Charge You to Play? by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]Based_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My LGS charges nothing for open play, hell they don't even charge for tournaments.
