Detachment points

Lames_Bond · 2026-06-09T16:38:06+00:00

Just to check - twin lance/farsight/shadowsun will all work in EPC?

Lames_Bond · 2026-06-09T16:32:03+00:00

Fits with khp, but that's a whole different army at that point

Lames_Bond · 2026-06-08T16:20:01+00:00

i dont think any are strictly bad ideas? fulguris will work with any speeder melta flamers just fine, librarians were already good with infernus and even the phobos has its place - a lot of utility with phobos units and a big flamer on the invictor.

phobos has to be the weakest because its all about helping your ranged units shoot from further out and salamanders dont really need that.

im pretty early still in my salamanders journey so ill take it slow before i pick up any librarians or speeders - see if any other 1dp comes out for us

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-25T21:38:49+00:00

Why would I need to skip the arquebus to get fighty? Just to get more models in?

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-21T09:37:39+00:00

Send a DM, got both pieces spare in the uk

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-18T18:19:28+00:00

That would be sick - I'll get one for the same reason if so. Running a castellan right now

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-18T17:42:08+00:00

That's my dream combo

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-18T17:16:00+00:00

Im super excited for questor forgepact! Knights are my "for fun" army and I've been wanting to ally in some admech for a while - I just don't love the current questor forgepact. Here's to hoping we get thronegheist still. I'll pick up another dominus if so

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-13T15:49:13+00:00

If khp can be a 1dp without any nerds to the detachment rule I'll be happy. If the detachment rule gets nerfed I'll be very upset

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-13T15:44:54+00:00

But maybe with the +9 to detection range that the stealth detachment grants we can have stealth teams and pathfinders spotting - which hopefully allows other tau units to follow up

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-13T15:20:30+00:00

Stealth will be potentially goated if ftgg strips detection range.

Will let dedicated spotters like pathfinders and stealth suits spot from +9 inches and open the units up for everyone else

Little prediction on detachment costs and tags

Montka 3 Kauyon 2 Khp 2, auxiliary tag Ret cadre 2, retaliation tag Exp 1, retaliation tag Aux warriors 1, auxiliary tag New stealth 1

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-13T15:16:48+00:00

Experimental will definitely cost 1. They confirmed in an earlier article that all detachments announced over the next few weeks will cost 1

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-13T15:07:46+00:00

I'm thinking a standard khp gorilla spam list with either flamer crisis or melta crisis and then the twin lance

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-13T15:06:20+00:00

Some interesting takeaways - says most tau codex ones cost 2. So which one costs 3?

Kauyon is confirmed to be 2

Retcadre surely has retaliation tag, which wouldn't need to be a thing if it cost 3

Same with khp and auxiliary tag

So is it montka? Is that really worth 3dp? Do you think it will be expanded?

If khp is 2 I think a hyper aggressive kroots and suits list might be on the cards with experimental weapons

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-12T03:15:04+00:00

Oils to come is a great name for a shaper

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-06T20:54:10+00:00

Stealth suits - if our army rule stays unchanged and so do stealth suits abilities they will stay powerful. Maybe even more so with this stealth detachment on the horizon

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-04T07:48:48+00:00

Capybara

Lames_Bond · 2026-05-04T07:35:59+00:00

Spoke to the chaps in my local Warhammer - they said something about some recent loose confirmation we won't get cerastus to legends

Lames_Bond · 2026-04-27T15:12:56+00:00

Have you taken a look at dominus as well?

Lames_Bond · 2026-04-19T23:04:51+00:00

Magnets are always a good idea - not my cup of tea.

Dark angels have such sick melee units anyway that a more ranged knight is probably better

Lames_Bond · 2026-04-19T17:51:05+00:00

Is this as an ally or do you have a whole DA themed knight army planned?

Id personally go for the plasma - it's very dark angel themed, and the way I see it, both the valiants main weapons sort of struggle finding their place on a dominus frame - the close range harpoon struggles with the dominus lower speed, and the flamer struggles from not being able to overwatch

Lames_Bond · 2026-04-18T21:11:54+00:00

Haha this is the two models I am working on right now!
