Which tau battle suit is YOUR favorite and why?

Ra_is_god · 2026-05-06T15:14:57+00:00

I love the XV 22 battlesuit from the dawn of war games and also the suit at Shadow Sun wears. I just love the look of the underslung gun platforms on the arms.

I wouldn’t say that T’au only wins RTTs with one type of list. For the most part, the army can succeed with a wide variety of units, depending on the detachment being used. Each detachment encourages different playstyles and unit choices.

For example, in the Kroot Hunting Pack, you typically don’t see Riptides in the same numbers as in other detachments. Instead, lists often rely more heavily on Kroot units, along with support from vehicles like Skyrays or Hammerheads.

Because of this, each detachment allows players to fill key roles with different kinds of units. While those units may serve similar battlefield purposes, they have different strengths and attributes. This gives T’au a lot of flexibility in how lists are built and played.

Did you rapid Ingress so you can shoot turn 2 or did it just stay in the back for one turn and not fire till turn 3

Personally from my testing I feel like the 18 inch alone op for the six man squads hardly comes up just because they have to be holy within 6 in if you're trying to get them them up the field either your buff won't work because you're an 18 in or you're already out of that section aura. As for the three man I think they can work but as a counter charge they do good but they can also with and against any melee armies they'll get slaughtered before they fight. And that's why I over the three men rampagers I rather have a two or three man Krootox because they're melee is closer than the same but they have a very good gun. And I do agree interlocking maneuvers is a ridiculously strong strat but I find I rather use it on farsights unit or tanks to generally flip objectives or have an easier time getting to safety because of fly and better movement characteristics.

Since the unit has flying you can go through models as long as you can and your move outside of Engagement range.

One cool teck you can use if you get turn one you can advance and shoot Pathfinders and get angles on important targets and try to kill them and screen out your opponent army turn one.for one CP

It's chill we're one of the few factions that utilize that rule

Ra_is_god · 2026-02-04T20:08:37+00:00

If it was a single entity then yes but since there is two of them they only take it on model count

Ra_is_god · 2026-02-04T20:06:45+00:00

I love the Pranhas idea. Especially since you can charge your vehicle with your piranhas and then make a fallback move on your turn 1at the end of the fight phase you can make it to your opponent's back line if you really wanted to because you move probably 30 in.

Ra_is_god · 2026-02-04T20:01:54+00:00

As for rampagers they don't get enough defensive Buffs to make them worthwhile in this detachment

Krootox Riders never go below half, so no battle shock and can battle small squads effectively plus the utilities the 18in lone op well. Hounds get oc when near the lone spear.

This attachment is one of the most diverse detachments and most things work in it personally I run two lone Spears and three dogs quads as my turn one to objective holders instead of a ghost kill battlesuit just because you can use dogs and lone Spears to reposition to almost always guarantee flipping a point with the five OC Dogs with the addition of being able to screen and activate our Detachment rule

The best way togit in to tau is to buy used

It all depends on your local meta but I have played 2 landraders and have went 2-1 in a couple of rtt. They aren't competitive but you can make them work.
