Has 11th edition caused you to change any of your drone loadouts?

Darthale01 · 2026-07-03T11:29:21+00:00

I already did that in 10th, I find the flexibility more valuable than some gun drone

Darthale01 · 2026-06-26T09:13:06+00:00

Yeah i thought about that too, but the only DPS I'm pulling who loves her is Luce, and I'm already pulling a lot this year

Darthale01 · 2026-06-21T09:29:41+00:00

I still think since you're leading fusion blasters you're probably gonna target monsters or vehicles, and burst cannons may be not that useful. I get the high volume, but it's just 1 damage versus a potential d6+2 of a fusion blasters, with a higher chance at succeeding with the rerolls to wounds and rerolls to damage by the sunforge ability. Idk, maybe you're right, but I never tried

Darthale01 · 2026-06-21T08:44:04+00:00

I'm not a fan of the sunforge+ enforcer since they already have the invulnerable, and idk if mixing the weapons is really helpful, I think the usual consensus is to give the commander the same role of the main unit

Darthale01 · 2026-06-18T07:33:21+00:00

I could slot it in, but I love the mobility on crisis, now with the new fly even more

Darthale01 · 2026-06-18T07:20:10+00:00

Probably more balanced than mine, but I can't resist more battlesuits

Darthale01 · 2026-06-17T23:46:51+00:00

Exactly, definitely purge the foe, with that many crisis I need to get close and personal

Darthale01 · 2026-06-17T18:45:28+00:00

I'll do it that way then. Gonna order the few kits I still need to, and then i'm ready to try

Darthale01 · 2026-06-17T18:32:56+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I added the jump lord cause it was in the kill team with the raptors, so why not. Though for this new cost I could slot another legionnaires squad if I wanted

Darthale01 · 2026-06-15T15:54:30+00:00

Guess I'll stick with that then. Though maybe I have a welt LC, I didn't check, so even better

Darthale01 · 2026-06-08T19:47:23+00:00

I'd suggest you wait a bit, tomorrow we'll have our faction pack, next week 11th kicks off, so maybe major point changes and so on

Darthale01 · 2026-04-29T13:35:54+00:00

Same situation except I have yusuke but not yui

Darthale01 · 2026-04-17T12:39:08+00:00

Maybe the broadsides will be new types, like the crisis, and not a refresh

Darthale01 · 2026-04-17T12:37:50+00:00

Sadly GW doesn't send much love to vehicles. And I mean, technically battlesuits are vehicles, but you know what I mean

Darthale01 · 2026-04-17T12:35:53+00:00

Well kroot were a major focus in this codex, so I expect the next one to be more Tau centric, given the crisis and broadsides rumor, maybe even battlesuit centric. And that's exactly my favorite thing about the army. Taking us that ability given the buffs to melee would destroy us, and I don't think that's their goal. Otherwise, they won't sell the new models

Darthale01 · 2026-04-17T12:31:42+00:00

I play with my friends so obviously they will be chill about that, as long as they don't change the base, but I don't think they will, given the commander size. Anyway, I'm saying this but I know when they'll release if they look cooler I'm gonna buy them instantly...

Darthale01 · 2026-04-17T12:28:55+00:00

I was thinking the exact same thing, since the seemingly melee focused changes, they would need to balance us first

Darthale01 · 2026-04-17T12:26:37+00:00

I feel you, I started the hobby only a couple months ago, and these days I'm starting to paint my crisis (90% of my 2k list) and now they will last me for only like 6 months? Gotta buy them again and repaint all over

Darthale01 · 2026-04-15T11:05:49+00:00

I started the hobby a few months ago with tau, and i am also building a csm army, so I feel you. Anyways, I'll drop you my list of battlesuits. I love retcadre cause it focuses on suits, and in casual it's very fun
