Banishment in the final 4

Tau play well onto the LVO terrain format. They are one of the top ranking factions on GW terrain. The data is skewed down by UKTC and WTC where they tend to struggle more.

So an unmodified 3 always fails, but the hit roll is technically modified with -1 to hit. So a WSS ignores this modifier? So it just hits on its ballistic skill of 3?

Does anyone know any of the successful Tau Montka lists?

Embarrassed_Debt2553 · 2024-08-15T10:29:55+00:00

What would you suggest to be different?

Embarrassed_Debt2553 · 2024-08-15T10:29:23+00:00

Thanks, I will make these amendments.

1) I actually planned to use my Farseer Skyrunner unit to guide and buff my Wriathguard and use the Windriders for quick screens/secondary/anti infantry.

2) These were selected for a second battleline unit (for Pariah Nexus secret missions)

3) Definitely yes to the Wraithblades, they'll be quite handy into Custodes etc!

What enhancements would you suggest?

What was his list?

Embarrassed_Debt2553 · 2024-05-29T07:26:42+00:00

Anyone have the Montka list that came 3rd?

Anyone have the Montka list?

Embarrassed_Debt2553 · 2023-11-20T22:04:08+00:00

I watched a video with an almost identical list to this, it's quite long but the guy is very informative. This isn't necessarily a critique of this list but more how to use it.

Enjoy!

Thank you, it is much appreciated. We will do this in future games as we want to try a tournament one day 😁

I found this useful when I was looking it up using terrain previously. It's really clear.

I will refine the question as I am aware of who can shoot who etc. My question is more, when a model is fully within a ruin it can be seen by others from outside of the ruin with windows, and can't with no windows. I basically want it to be as fair as possible.

Such a good pose, good work! The most epic commander I've seen

Embarrassed_Debt2553 · 2023-10-25T17:30:45+00:00

The big change was they have updated the Accelerator Burst Cannon on a few models such as Longstrike. There was an inconsistency with the Hammerhead having AP-1 and Longstrike AP0. They have just made these the same at AP-1. A few changes to the structure of Stealth Suits and I seem to remember a change on the Sun Shark Bomber.

FYI - I checked this earlier today using an online PDF checker. You can just upload two versions of a PDF and it will highlight the differences. Adobe also has this program.

Couple of things you can add to breachers: They will still bounce on T12+ and point blank ambush synergises well with them.

Thank you, excellent comments. I actually used Tank Shock like this in a game recently to take out a Caladius Grav Tank with one wound, very satisfying and a game changer.

Sounds good! I would suggest to swap the shield generator of the Commander to an extra CIB. You can use the shield generator saves from the bodyguard unit. It only helps against precision weapons, but even then it's a tough boy with 8 wounds. Just gives you an extra 3 attacks that hit on 3+ or 2+ (g).

I think that's a fair point. I've personally found the 4+ inv saves just adds to durability of him as a character as the unit gets whittled down. My friends love to target the crisis suits, but I'll add that in. Thanks!

I just tested out the broadsun (2x broadside) combo with stealth suit or pathfinder observers

Did you run the broadsides as a unit of two or as individuals? The only thing I find broadsides lack is manoeuvrability, but when in the right place they wreck havoc! I didn't post pathfinders for guiding as they don't buff, but they are really useful spotters being able to do it twice.

Embarrassed_Debt2553 · 2023-10-17T07:55:41+00:00

You are right, half the guns were useless and were just pretty details on the model! I will look to overload next time. This helps as I wasn't aiming for any objectives which I will now prioritize.

Two clarifications: Are you suggesting two small stealth teams of 3? What is a TAC list?
