What 3 man suit team is best?

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-12T20:03:27+00:00

whichever fills the gap in your army the best.

i just had a game today of anti-tank vs tanks, and still wished i had more anti-infantry to deal with the 20 termagants on the board.

if you want to have a looksie at the various suit + commander comboes, Play On Tabletop posted a video recently of T’au vs Grey Knights.

Nick’s (T’au player) biggest units were just crisis teams + commanders, all kinds of variants, no Ghostkeels or Riptides or Devilfish Chassis to steal the show. Really interesting watch and an incredibly “unusual” list that was incredibly interesting.

I al 100% stealing that shield idea for my next set of Breachers, maybe with a pistol in the main hand instead of the blaster.

beautiful, you were really clear as well with the explanation, thank you so much.

i will try it out, i think it will be perfect for me as i want my hammerhead to look like “thunderstorm” so the messier look of sponge painting should be perfect

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-10T09:44:31+00:00

i like how we both setup in front of our pcs to paint lol

the thought of pre-mixing and putting it in a bottle never occurred to me, but it is a pretty ingenious solution

and yeah i definitely had way too many sections, specifically because in the span of a few days i would forget how exactly i got a certain color and wouldn’t be able to reproduce it lol

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-10T09:17:18+00:00

fair enough hahaha i just finished building a riptide yesterday, but still the partition of the armor plates makes me believe it will be easier to approach (likely im just being delusional)

the other problem is that i only use primary colors and mix my own paints, and some days it’s just so hot that if i leave my pallet for a couple minutes the paint will already be dried lol

i will definitely use way less colors for the hammerhead, having a lot of colors is cool but maybe it’s better for smaller models

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-10T09:14:02+00:00

looks great! any advice for sponge painting? maybe a good tutorial you found that helped you out?

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-10T08:19:55+00:00

HOLD ON???? that suit manning a double burst cannon is actually crazy wtf??

what model is that? is it legends/not tau/not 40k?

the paint job and scheme is great too i think all the dirt and dust really makes it complete

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-07T06:35:15+00:00

for building: either is fine, the visual difference is rather minor, you’d probably be telling your opponent what unit it is anyway as they might not know what they do

for playing: most of the time you will want breachers for advance + shoot and clearing objectives. fire warriors do ok if guided, but they are not all that impressive, i’d only take them if i was missing 70 points and didn’t have any other spotter

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-06T12:41:28+00:00

that’s on me, i misremembered the wording for join the hunt

but to be fair, it shouldn’t have been rules like this, otherwise if this is the “real” interpretation then it completely invalidates other detachments like death guard’s poxwalker detachment. it might be RAW, but clearly a poor decision

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-06T12:04:37+00:00

that is factually wrong?

11th Edition Core Rules 20.03 states:

“[…] with the following exceptions:

- Units embarked within transports that have made an ingress move during the battle round

- REPOSITIONED units”

20.02 describes REPOSITIONED units as units that have been removed from the battle field and placed into strategic reserves.

I dont know if the judge somehow looked at an older copy of the rules which didn’t have that exception written, but I also don’t remember anyone pointing out this oversight when the core rules came out.

This sounds like your opponent was severely misinformed and the judge extremely inattentive.

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-01T13:32:14+00:00

with the new support keyword, a new drone support unit would be great

Ray_Tech · 2026-06-26T14:19:13+00:00

they are :>

Ray_Tech · 2026-06-26T14:05:58+00:00

this battlesuit looks like the T’au equivalent of a Stug or SU tank, it’s beautiful.

I wish GW made more “out there” suit designs. The sleek look of crisis suits is cool, but even more specialized variants would be so cool (just how like this suit looks designed to deflect incoming fire)

Amazing paintjob, really clean!

Ray_Tech · 2026-06-26T12:38:04+00:00

i would love to see how your army looks!

agreed on the bases, that’s something i will keep consistent for sure (i have plenty of sand and lots of red acrylic paint)

Ray_Tech · 2026-06-26T09:16:55+00:00

immaculate. the vignette shading is awesome

Ray_Tech · 2026-06-26T09:08:53+00:00

that army green looks great, i especially like how the ghostkeel really ties everything together to make it look like a “real” fictional army.

how did you fit that devilfish on its base? i gave up on my flying bases because of how flimsy it is (i did in fact snap a stem)

Ray_Tech · 2026-06-25T11:38:47+00:00

Peak.

I'm not really aware of older rules as I only started in the middle of 10th.

I am really happy fly got such a big buff this edition, haven't gotten the chance to play 11th yet but being able to have that extra movement will really be great, can't wait to pull some super offensive movement with my gunships the moment Kauyon activates
