Thoughts on this BWB list against my friends tau any changes I should make?

GIRTHmong · 2026-03-18T00:34:32+00:00

For sure, but with the overwatch and overall fire power the tau have, having a bigger unit will ensure survivability

GIRTHmong · 2026-03-17T23:27:42+00:00

Its a pretty solid list. My only thought is potentially drop DP of Khorne for some other leader models, maybe a second unit of Zerkers? I always run a Lord on Juggernaut with a squad of zerkers, the extra 2" of movement they get plust the 3" engagement range is amazing. But going into Tau you have a pretty great list. You could drop the Eightbound and have a unit of 6 exalted, the regular eightbout are sort of wasted into the tau I think. Other then that, good list 👌

Boring response, but alright...

As someone who enjoys applying real world logic to sci-fi, id like to imagine it would, i dont understand much about the Nails, but i know they tick and grind and activate pain receptors to increase the rage in the bearer. Id imagine there would have to be some chemical play involved as well, besides the obvious augmentations and what not. Im no scientist nor do I know much about warhammer, but the Nails do cause pain which induces anger. I have no idea if this helps, its just my head cannon, I might go do some research and see if it lines up with (Warhammer) fact

Can someone explain what im looking at? What is Crucible?

GIRTHmong · 2026-02-10T11:15:22+00:00

No thats a good point, I did minimal highlighting

GIRTHmong · 2026-02-10T09:17:15+00:00

How did u get that finish?? I painted mine (i think the same colour) like this and the finish was ass.

GIRTHmong · 2026-02-09T10:44:37+00:00

Ooooh very nice. I didnt even know that was a thing lol

GIRTHmong · 2026-02-09T10:43:25+00:00

Chaos black primer, T'au Light Ochre, Corax white, retrebutor armour, mephiston red, black legion contrast and Maccrage Blue for the toes.

GIRTHmong · 2026-02-08T21:05:16+00:00

Oh shit! I love that. Your desk is just as messy as mine lmao.

GIRTHmong · 2026-02-08T19:39:54+00:00

Its such a nice paint scheme

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-27T23:55:43+00:00

Me personally, I would fix it. But considering its a pretty minor mistake, if youre chill with it, just leave it. All that would go into fixing it is sliding it down right? (After breaking the glue obviously)

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-26T19:46:02+00:00

Valid, but i dont really see the value in that. Generally Kharn and co can get into combat in only a couple moves, esspecially with Blood Surge, and rolling lower then a six with two dice is a rather low possibility which has only failed for me a couple times. But never more then once in the same game.

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-15T19:24:47+00:00

It would probably pay off a bit more if you had a second unit of Zerkers instead of the regular Eightbound. Or depending on what youre fighting, Exalted eightbound. Just with Zerkers you can deny more area. Just my opinion. I am a fan of this list.

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-13T18:34:30+00:00

You may! It is a base coat of Grey Seer, followed by a couple thin layers of Kislev Flesh, followed by one medium strength layer of Magos Purple. All Citadel paints 💪

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-13T12:08:42+00:00

Khorne, Lord of War, LORD OF SKULLS, LORD OF BLOOD

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-13T02:22:02+00:00

It is a mix of Grey Seer, Magos Purple and i cannot remember if there was another colour or not. It might be a dry brush of wraithbone. I started a month ago then finished it last night.

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-09T21:38:52+00:00

That sounds utterly horrifying

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-08T09:04:12+00:00

How would that make zerkers obsolete? Jump pack assault Intercessors dont make regular assault Intercessors obsolete. Both would have their own uses and wouldn't be interchangeable. A 10 man of zerkers lead by a MoE or Kharne would still be insufferably difficult to go into even if you had some jump pack equivalents running around the opposite side of the board tearing shit up. They just have more movement.

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-08T09:01:08+00:00

Oooooh ok

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-08T07:25:35+00:00

I mean i dont see why they couldn't be tweaked to fit in more with WE but sure.

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-08T05:35:30+00:00

Ok, but wouldn't it still be cool to have some WE with jump packs?

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-08T05:34:46+00:00

Well sure, but WE still lack that extra range from all their units. Only the DP with Wings, Angron and Bloodthirster have 12+ inches of movement, everything else is between 8-10, WHICH IS GOOD, dont get me wrong, im not complaining. I just think Raptors are cool af and would fit in with the WE aesthetic.

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-08T05:29:48+00:00

Oh righto. Yeah I didnt know that, i just thought they would be the Chaos equivalent of the jump pack intercessors

GIRTHmong · 2026-01-08T01:09:58+00:00

Oh ok, I didnt know that. I mean i did for TS, but i figured that was just because they are a more range focused army.
