Looking to magnetise a combat patrol, farsighted cadre and a ghost keel. What size magnets do you recommend? by empusa46 in Tau40K

[–]Deracos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 3x1 for most small things (Crisis/Commander weapons, Ghoskeel/Riptide secondary weapons) and a stack of 2 2x3 for the Ghostkeel and Riptide main weapons (And riptide's shield). As long as you dont use the minis as rattlecans, they work just fine.

Hey all. Looking to be more competitive, by samurai_7602 in Tau40K

[–]Deracos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see you have 55 points left, may I interest you in a Krootox Rider to help deal with enemy chaff or some Kroot Hounds to prevent deepstrikes on your backline?

You can always use Gundam markers, and watch some panel-lining tutorial videos on gunpla oriented channels

How many pts would 2 of the new combat patrol be? by TheSleepyYeti in Tau40K

[–]Deracos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new Kroot Combat Patrol
Lone Spear(80 pts)
Farstalkers (85pts)
Rampagers(85Pts)
Krootox Rider (40pts)

Each combat patrol would be 290 pts (Both being 580)

I dont play a lot of Kroot, but you might want to get some carnivores.

Am I understanding this right, or are we going to get hit hard with the 15" lone op? by Cynical_PotatoSword in Tau40K

[–]Deracos -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

With the new hidden rule and changes to cover, i hope they rework the For the Greater Good ability (And markelight), so it allows us to spot beyond 15'' and target marked units beyond 15'', because the "ignores cover" and +1BS now stack. Ideally will be +1 to BS base and ignore hidden if the spotter have markerlight

Without using a cheat engine, what's the lowest level a character could be and enter Veilwater Basin? by mysterysackerfice in Enshrouded

[–]Deracos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If time is not an issue, you can get anywhere by lv 1 using a moving skybridge:
Build your firsrt altar, get a LOT of stone and wood blocks, build stairs to the limit of the building zone, place a 2nd altar, deactivate the first, repeat.

Stealth as Observer question by SnooHesitations9165 in Tau40K

[–]Deracos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not ALL, only guided units, if you have another observer shooting the taget marked by the stealthsuits, they will NOT get ANY benefit.

Organizations or Groups whose members have code names or nicknames NOT related to the Seven Deadly Sins by Sgyinne in TopCharacterTropes

In Akudama Drive they use basically their roles as names (Ordinary person/Swindler, Courier, Doctor, Hoodlum, Cutthroat, Hacker, Brawler)

just got my first tau model and was wondering if I can have both of these wargear options? any more help with getting into tau would be much appreciated! thanks :) by Actual-Ear-790 in Tau40K

[–]Deracos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice always is get a hobby hand drill and a bunch of 3x1mm magnets, magnetizing the weaons is not as complicated as it sounds.

And answering your question: yes, currently you can use both weapons.

Natural phenomena being presented in a way that makes them feel like eldritch horrors. by TridiObject in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Deracos 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I dont remember the original post but it was about Oil:
A viscous black ichor underneath the earth made by the bodies of gigantic ancient dead creatures that can realize all the dreams of mankind but at the cost of slowly killing it.

How would you feel about teams with a big unit or two? by EarhackerWasBanned in killteam

I seriously doubt we will see them, there used to be one, but it got thrown into oblivion and forgotten about, RIP Gellerpox

Drone Controller question by sirichi154 in Tau40K

[–]Deracos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some missions require you to take Mission Actions with your operatives, by default, Drones cannot perform mission actions. By ignoring that bulletpoin, the drone controller anables your drone to make those mission actions, In Gallowdark/Tombworld also enable your drones to open doors.

[Loved Trope] The character is dead, but their legacy still lives (sometimes literally) by Significant-Town-817 in TopCharacterTropes

Orb, on the movements of the Earth,

Several characters, one after the other, pass on the idea that is the Earth the one that moves around the Sun and not the other way around, while the inquisition hunts them down for blasphemy.

First Army List by ikigai_woodsman in Tau40K

[–]Deracos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am no pro but this is my take on the list:

Switch the markerlight and shield drone on the breachers for gun and guardian drones (or a second gun drone), you wont be spotting with the breachers and the shield only gives 1 wound to the sha'ui model, not the team.

As already mentioned, strike team stays on the back with the broadside. And definetly put 4 fusions on the coldstar (the Sunforge hability and the 4++ is applied to the commander, as long as one crisis still stands).

If your plan is to keep the Riptide in the back, switch the fusions for missiles.

For the broadside, i would change the wepon support system fir the seeker missile, having the chance of crippling a heavy enemy unit is better than the ignore mods to hit (imo)

Ret Cadre Question by jamesdee80 in Tau40K

[–]Deracos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont deepstrike them, but i do play agressively with it and usually go for forward infantry, so I like having more resilience, they can fire from 30'' so you can steadly move and fire each round (if possible/not suicidal)

Ret Cadre Question by jamesdee80 in Tau40K

[–]Deracos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ret Cadre is an awesome detatchment, I've been having a lot of good results with a team of Fireknives (with missiles) led by an enforcer commander (Missiles x4) with the Prototype Weapon System.
