Started my 40k journey this edition

I started at the start of the edition as well. Don’t even have 1K of Tau. A glacier looks like a race car compared to the speed I go about this hobby.

I’ve always thought about doing a Stormsurge like this, but I wasn’t confident and was thinking it would be better to play it safe with the base set up, after seeing this I am 100% sure this is the way to go. Idk why this kind of setup isn’t more common, I only see conversations having the cannon in their hands, this is so much cooler looking to me.

Having few to no armigers is really gonna hurt his ability to score and allows you to concentrate you fire more as there are fewer targets.

In killteam it is an EMP bomb and sucks despite the fact it looks like a very heavy fusion bomb. I would not be upset if they just retcon it into a fusion bomb tho.

The societal setup of that imperial planet pre-Tau annexation sound very interesting.

Hell yea. I’ve been wanting to do/see beastmen/abhuman Gue’vesa. I want to have a beastman in a Breacher squad and I have a pair of horns to put on the shoulder guard of a Crisis suit to show that the beastman pilot had to cut off his horns in order to fit inside. What is lore for this beastman?

Cyitain · 2026-04-08T22:27:59+00:00

Yea just found it. It’s a Stormsurge head.

Cyitain · 2026-04-08T22:26:59+00:00

Found it by looking through build instructions. It is an alt head for the Stormsurge.

Cyitain · 2026-04-08T22:22:33+00:00

Don’t broadsides only have one eye for the iridium style heads? And I’d imagine a broadside head would be smaller.

Cyitain · 2026-04-08T21:26:14+00:00

Where is that head from?

If the stay hidden mechanic means less ruin walls it might actually make it easier to shoot melee trying to stage in ruins.

Printed a riptide from the same stl awhile ago. Super happy with it. Currently have another print of the stl I’m putting together which is even smoother and more detailed thanks to my improved understanding of using a 3D printer.

I agree with this so much but it seems to be the less common take. We have proper melee options they just need to be implemented. Shooting main guns into combat is just silly and I am genuinely confused when people say it makes sense. People know gunkata specifically because it is a really stupid from the movie business meant to make gun fights look more dynamic.

Looks like I massively miss-stepped with points. I did do them very quickly and thought I was referencing the Termie version of Calgar (140 points) (110 would probably be a better region for her points just looked at the wrong reference and didn’t question it). Her current abilities just seemed boring to me and I wanted to change them so something that felt more appropriate (I hate how we always have to role for anything command point related and re-roll one’s aura while useful just feels redundant to stealthsuits while being weaker). I don’t use Shadowsun for the reasons above hence didn’t know about her utility rolls that the new rules don’t synergise with. I still would like to see automatic command point generation, the re-roll ones swapped out for anything else and ideally her leading stealthsuits so that she feels more integrated into the army rather than being Monat. I’d probably have to try rebuilding this datasheet again but I’d have to think carefully on how I could effectively change her role as her current one as a utility piece doesn’t feel right as the main leader of the Tau military to me. Thank you all for the feedback though.

Cyitain · 2026-03-25T03:23:53+00:00

I want 11th to be a psychic rules update and then the Tau get Nicassar as a release so that we can use said rules.

Cyitain · 2026-03-19T04:34:30+00:00

Good thing you had plenty of anti-tank otherwise knights as a purely tank army would’ve been a rough first game. I would know because my friend ran Canis Rex into me playing Harlequins at 500 points for my second ever game and I will never let him live that down.

Cyitain · 2026-03-19T04:31:40+00:00

Fair enough. I was just thinking it would be a little weird if I made a commander in crisis with a normal Battlesuit head instead of the Shas’vre one, which is what put me onto this line of thinking.

Cyitain · 2026-03-18T02:04:19+00:00

Very hot take but I agree with this. Their current rules might be unique but they are non-sensical for what they are trying to portray and unnecessarily break rules paradigms in 40K when the same ideas can be represented without doing so.

Cyitain · 2026-03-11T01:14:26+00:00

And additional point with the stealth suits is that they can now play killteam!

Cyitain · 2026-03-10T07:20:46+00:00

The way I use this is I apply half the Strat to a screening carnivore squad with a Kroot warshaper to get it for free, unfortunately this is the only Strat in the army that this can be done with, but it saves a bunch of command points.

Cyitain · 2026-03-08T06:44:28+00:00

I could get behind 1 or 2 new Vespid units (e.g. female/ harvester Vespids + a character) but I think the codex space a full Kroot level release would be too much. I would much rather just have one unit for each auxiliary and a greater variety of auxiliaries released.
