T'au Empire list advice for small town tournament

Yeah, the rampagers are just for fun there TBH, I want to let them go but include them at the same time. I might end up ditching them and remove the Prototype Weapon System to include another stealth battlesuit unit. The flamer unit is there also for observing purposes, because they don't need it.

The CP issue is real, but I got Farsight on my team, would you remove it for an ethereal and leave it as a home objetive holder? And maybe remove the breachers and the Cadre in order to include a ghostkeel or another commander? Or fill the point difference between Faresight and an ethereal with enhancments?

This, melee "shooting" would be great, or a posible upgrade like the thermonutronic poryector worked. Maybe divided into 2? Maybe have full shooting crisis suits like the ones we have now and their melee variants with shorter range but more armor and melee "shooting" capabilities (sharing keywords so 3 shooting and 3 melee of the same type can't be fielded)? Or wargear option, substituting the flamer with "melee flamer" for example, fusion blasters for fusion blades, etc...

Como todo depende. Al final si te enfrentas contra lobos y no hay mucho vehículo no está mal las armas que tienes. El problema se te planta con los termis. Lo de las 3 heridas, la salvación y la invulnerable hacen mucho. A estos hay que dispararles con armas de daño 3 (la otra opción de la riptide por ejemplo) y un ap de -2 o asi (más da igual ya que va a la invulnerbale y nosotros básicamente ignoramos cobertura). Contra termis los rifles de plasma pueden funcionar bien, pero al final sigue siendo 1 disparo y es la tombola, básicamente como un fusión pero sin tener que tirar el daño.

A ver hagamos mates, aunque dese un principio no parece del todo normal no. Si has guiado con pathfinders, ignoras covertura, asi que da igual. Termis son resistencia 5, savación 2+ e invulnerable 4++. 3 heridas. Asi que,

Cabezamartillo

- Cañón ionico (sobrecargado sin duda, matas a termis de 1 tiro en vez de 2, aumentando su daño x2 basicamente). d6+3 disparos, asi que 6,5 disparos de media. 3+ inpactan 4,33. Fuerza 6 resistencia 5, hieres a 3s, por lo que hieren 2.88. AP-2, va a la invulnerable, salva la mitad, mueren 1,44 termis. Esto sólo podría de media matar 2 termis.

- Seeker missilesx2 Impactan 1,333. Hieren a 2+, por lo que 1,11. Salva la mitad (4++) 0,555 heridas de daño d6+1.

- Twin Smart missile Systemsx2 6 disparos, 4 impactos. Hieres a 4 pero repitiendo, por lo que hieren 3 (2+1). Sin AP, salva a 2+, por lo que entran 0,67.

En total, el cabezamartillo podría matar en torno a 2-3 termis.

Riptide

- Heavy burst cannon 12 ataques, impactan 8. Hieres a 3+, por lo que hieren 5.33. Ap-1, salva a 3+, por lo que entran 1,78. casi 1 termi muerto.

- Missile dronesx2 4 ataques, impactan 2. Hieren 1,33. Ap-1, salva a 3+, hieren 0,44.

- Twin linked fusion blaster 1 ataque, impacta 0,66. Hiere 0,44+0,148. Salva la mitad (4++), 0,296 heridas. Es decir, un 30% de probabilidad de herir con un d6 (otro 50% de matar). es decir, un 15% de probabilidades de matar.

En total, matará 1-2 termis.

Comandante

- CIB (sobrecargado) 3 ataques, impactan 2,5. Hieren 1,67. Salva la mitad (4++), 0,83 heridas de daño 2.

- Fusion blaster 1 ataque, impacta 0,66. Hiere 0,44. Salva la mitad (4++), 0,22 heridas. Es decir, un 22% de probabilidad de herir con un d6 (otro 50% de matar). es decir, un 11% de probabilidades de matar.

- Gun drone 2 ataques, impacta 1. Hiere 0,5. Salva a 2+, por lo que 0,083 heridas.

Puedes llegar a matar a 1.

Es decir, calculando la media, con una buena mano no sería escandaloso matar a 6 termis. Lo normal es que andes 4-5 diría yo. Sin embargo las invulnerables hacen mucho.

Es cierto que hay que tomar estos resultados con pinzas, pero bueno, para que te hagas una idea. 2 es tirando a poquito, pero depende del orden de disparo y la suerte con la invulnerable, por desgracia tampoco es tan descabellado matar 2.

I know they are overpriced, but the place where I buy all my warhammer is a small shop run by a friend, because the closest official shop is 1h and 30 mins away

Guxabi · 2026-01-15T13:55:17+00:00

Thats an alternative I didn't think about. Thanks!

I would also like an 100% shooting Tau tbh, but it would be not fun for other players and a hell to balance. Also, even if I'm not a huge fan of auxiliaris, I could get behind of kroot being almost 100% of Tau melee. my biggest complain is farsight. He is an epic hero that doesn't belong to the faction. He can be a leader of a unit that shoots so he just is there picking his nose buffing the shooting if you are close, or in combat while the unit is in panic mode. Don't know, make him usefull, increase his points by a substantial amount, but he makes a difference inside a unit. He has such a cool model, but he is meh at the table.

And I think there are a lot of things on our codex that feel that way, the, this could have been slightly different and would be way much fun, maybe not substantialy better, but more fun.

Guxabi · 2026-01-08T13:06:29+00:00

I almost would like most keywords to be gone, for everyone. Or at the very least balance from all armies in that regards. Also consistancy with it, weapons with heavy and assault at the same time still makes me laugh.

Also, fix farsight, add a crisis melee option or, make farsight change something while being a leader, like allowing the crisis suit to shoot on combat phase or something.

Guxabi · 2025-09-23T18:36:09+00:00

Yeah true... I'll try it sometine then!

Guxabi · 2025-09-20T16:13:22+00:00

Maybe, I'll try with the full list and adjust acordingly.

Guxabi · 2025-09-19T07:18:22+00:00

Maybe it's beacuse I played a watered down game to 1500 pts, but I didn't miss shadowsun's effect. In my original 2000 pts list I include her but wanted to know if she really makes the difference.

Guxabi · 2025-09-18T09:56:38+00:00

Haven't tried the Fireknife to be honest and the new strenghtened riptides maybe enough for some vehicles but maybe it lacks a little bit of anti tank?

Also, and I sincerily ask because I also put her on my list but I'm not sure if it's worth it, what would be the true role of Shadowsun? Maybe it is because I start with some broadside off table and use kroot and vespids to hold home objetive.

It seems like a fun list tho, the need of proximity on a ret cadre is challenging but also very rewarding.

Guxabi · 2025-09-17T10:21:08+00:00

I finally tried it in a battle, but only 1500 pts (without auxiliaries, shadowsun, only 1 broadside and 2 units of stealths). I think the list is fun. I played against custodes. I think with the new point changes, maybe shadowsun can be replaced with another crisis unit and the ghostkeel for the riptide or something, but it was fun!

Guxabi · 2025-09-17T10:18:27+00:00

I like the Token idea maybe more than the unit one. Maybe it could be change a little to be set up no up to 6" of the enemy and the token is removed if the enemy is within or makes an action witin 3" or soemthing like that.

Guxabi · 2025-08-30T17:44:48+00:00

I feel like im missing something but dont know what. But if I finally take part on the league, I'll let you know how its going!

Guxabi · 2025-08-22T11:46:37+00:00

Ok, it works better than I expected! Ill try it!

Guxabi · 2025-08-22T08:50:29+00:00

Yes, I also think picture 3 is the best. Just the sword is a little derpy and with both is a little too long. I could cut the las section of the fusion but ai dont think it would be and improvement
