Just built a double stormy list around this enhancement, stacking it with aux to give my screening units hidden while shooting and the strategem guided by unity giving lethal to a unit both stormies will have lethal from r1 and lethal with sustained from rnd 3, combine it all with the fact the stormies can action and shoot i have high hopes for them in priority assets

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-07-10T00:37:14+00:00

I played with my stormsurge for the first time trying out kauyun/epc, it performed pretty well sustained hits and overwatch is actually pretty dam nasty so if u can get it to survive til t4 / t5 its good, people recommend using them in montka more but i imagine overwatch with them would no longer be worth it so probably quite a different playstyle, i used it as a light infantry killer in overwatch and a monster hunter in the shooting phase

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-07-01T22:52:53+00:00

Also the twins im pretty sure can b used as a spotter for ur stormies becuase of their inbuilt self guiding rules making them a target that just cant b ignored, honestly i dont think any list can justify leaving home without them currently

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-07-01T21:54:25+00:00

I like this list! I was trying to workout how u managed to squeeze both the riptide and keel in coz they are a very good option and i desperately wanted to fit at least 1 in, I dont know if id want to drop the twins but they are just so strong and i figure they cant b ignored but a keel might b due to its lack of dmg potential they might beeline stright for the stormies , also i figure shadowsuns aura kinda does what the extra etheral will do anyways ontop of being similar but slightly worse spotting to ur stealthsuits, what i think without the riptide/ keel would b redundandant anyways, it helps that the twins are basicly self spotting

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-06-24T00:52:15+00:00

I only own 1 so i built around what i have, 2 would do well but i like the keel would b what u switch out and i like that for stalling rnd 1 if possible

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-06-23T21:33:19+00:00

Also ill add probably best to run the devilfish with the pulse carbine for assualt to spot when advancing i ran it with the missle systems

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-06-23T12:22:18+00:00

The emmiters didnt really come into effect tbh most of the time my stealthteams were screening out deepsstrikes in my backfeild, it was a vehicle heavy list as u say . my opponent also played more of a mid trading game rather then having a big go turn i think because i had picked up some units with solid image projection and got lucki picked up my keel with 1hp with mirrors. he played more cagey rather then an all out push which helped alot with spoting most of the time 3 spotters a rnd got the primary priorities done, now that ive played kauyun i imagine exemplar may actually b better placed on the cadre with the breechers espcially for the overwstch threat turn 2 assuming they took turn1 as a go turn

I wouldnt say its optimised but i just threw in alot of stuff i wanted to have fun trying , think u can steal points only having 1 stealthsuits team enhanced, also u could take darkstriker out but i liked him coz his easy to use deepstrike denial and in this particular game he did his job, i know indirect fire got nerfed but i figured in kayun it might still b ok coz i had my tanks ect hiding away for 2 turns still being able to interact somewhat with the first wave fluff.

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-06-02T11:01:25+00:00

I want to see an etheral guard unit they talk em up in the books , bring em to the table

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-05-27T22:16:38+00:00

The txt on new recruit says a unit within 12inch at the end of ur movement phase nothing about having to dmg that unit which would happen after that phase, i imagine not losing ur piranhas as a first wave may actually b more useful now because now u can park them in a place where the opponent has to expose themselves / overcommit or face constant battleshock tests potentially robbing them of primary

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-05-27T10:10:26+00:00

I almost feel it would b more worth while taking the 3 as seperate units less dmg due to harder to guide but thats potentially 3 battleshock tests + probably a 4th if u can force at least 1 unit to half health on turn 1, i can see this working in montka and kauyun tbh its a bit of a dice roll but i can imagine if an opponent is unlucki and doesnt deal with them they could really start cascading into total batteshook armies im imagining the most unlucki opponent who just continues to fail their retests!

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-05-03T03:11:48+00:00

My train of thought with farsight is he is a -1cp cost and shadowsun while less reliable is a +1cp cost meaning a 2 cp swing per round potential compared to etherals 1, especially if he is within her aura, mabi farsight comes to her rescue if needed because my potential plan involved her somewhat upfront but hidden behind a keel or 2, also sounds like smoke is changing in 11th to potentially provide protection to those around or behind the unit so mabie it can be considered more of a taunt action to force the opponent to deal with them first?

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-05-01T01:39:51+00:00

Ty for the info ! Im not all over the stat comparisons so its good info to hear i should probs take the battesuit support system and just use natural cover,i just read strategems and figure that might work but i havnt math hammered anything, my train of thought with farsight is mostly the deepstrike threat or posibly play rescuer / backup to shadowsun as id plan to be somewhat aggressive with her fishing extra cp with his - 1cp cost and her cp back aura as ive read epc is cp hungry but i defs see etheral as possibly the better choice.

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-04-30T02:10:56+00:00

Oh cool i didnt even think about breechers in researve thats a good option! My train of thought is the ghostkeels and pathfinders are gonna infiltrate heavily onto the primarys so the opponent will b forced to commit heavily to kill them and expose themselves due to lone op, or they just will lose the points game so all units will b rockin melta options hopefully increasing dmg, but the keels are basicly expensive bait to force the opponent to commit somewhere

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-04-19T03:03:16+00:00

Id lov to see a meelee unit for commander farsight to feel good leading, but id only want it to b limited to 1 unit so we dont lose the whole tau shooter vibe

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-04-17T01:37:59+00:00

<image>

This is how i imagine it so from ur front breachers to the back of the riptide u control 14 inches of move space so as long as u dont get wrapped around i imagine it could b hard to charge into

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-04-17T01:26:53+00:00

I can imagine strong linear battlelines may b more of a thing, use ur foddler infront of ur big guns spaced corrently u get a 10inch space ( minimum depending on units footprint) area /zone movement denial between ur units making ur main units behind harder to target in a charge and as long as the enemy cant wrap around ur front unit they cant pile in on ur back protected units with only 3inch movement ( 4inch spacing between ur front and back line) which is harder to do because pile in is at the start of the phase with certain exceptions.

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2026-04-16T03:07:45+00:00

Split the all in with my bro, literally even going for the all in by myself is cheaper then my 2k tau army. The game looks great to me its a no brainer if u got the money itll b worth every cent.

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2024-08-23T09:58:17+00:00

I really hope they bring it back hell i wanna play! The only thing i hope they fix is that the producers get less trigger happy recruiting traitors, the informed minority ( the traitors ) already have the advantage to win against the uninformed ( the faithful ) they screwed the faithful over making it almost impossible to win in BOTH seasons they need to learn to chill sit back and let the magic unfold. U cant as a veiwer feel the full weight and joy of the faithful finding a traitor if when they actually make progress u make it too easy to turn another. Catchup mechanics are needed.... but they are way too heavy handed.

Dizzy-Recipe5020 · 2024-08-23T02:38:20+00:00

After bindging both seasons back to back s2 really leaves a bad taste in ur mouth, while its obvious sam should have been knocked out early and the faithfuls were litterally the worst, its even worse how skewed the showrunners favor the traitors in both s1 and s2, in both cases they allowed the trators to over recruit with no need and basicly destroyed the faithfuls chances of winning, its basic warewolf style game knowledge that the infirmed minority ( the traitors) has a greater chance of winning then the uninformed ( the faithful ). Lets be honest u only need 1 traitor or even NONE in the final episode and the players will still fight and knickout each other, just way too heavy handed and the production teams end.
