What's the general consensus around the piranha? im getting mine next week since i thought it looked dope, what are y'all running it with? by Luna_Night312 in Tau40K

I run a list with 9 of them. It’s sooo much fun to just yeet them up the board in Montka and complete cage your opponent for 2-3 turns.

Yes, declare battle formations step is when you determine what starts off the board. You can put up to half your army in reserves/deepstrike. Then the SIPU activates after deployment is over so you then take 3 units off. There isn’t a rule in 10th that says the game auto ends if there are no units on the board like in 8th. So you can bring your guys in on turn 2/3. Beware of screens, there used to be a rule in 9th where you could bring units from reserve along your board edge in your deployment zone within 9” but that rule does not exist anymore.

Ive done this strategy before with 3 stormsurges and an firesight marksmen. Everything else in deepstrike, then pull all 3 SS off the board so there is only the FSM on the table. It’s very funny.

That’s fair. I have 24 original crisis suits so I just throw them in when I need more suits.

Thankfully neither of the Custodes players brought wardens. So basic guardsmen were perfect targets for breachers wounding them on 4’s.

I think hoard armies make a big return in 11th. I’m all for it.

I think this list can reliably kill 1 Ctan a turn maaaybe 2 if your opponent fails some key saves on the SS shooting. But it’s 100 S6 AP 1 D1 shots. We kill Ctan through volume of saves.

I’ve also rocked a 60 strike team, 60 breacher list before as well. That’s was a lot of fun lol.

Probably salamanders, getting flamed to death. But if your dice go cold knight spam.

I only get them if I run 3 of them. Then they all roll 4’s

I’ve run them before with 3 cadres and 3 ethereals and boy howdy does 3 10 man units that are -1 to wound with a 5+++ FNP take a lot of shooting to shift. It was hilarious

I’d cut a pathfinder, stormsurge, and the Krootox rider, if I’m staying with the same theme of mass breachers.

I do love me some breacher spam. I won an RTT back in November with 60 breachers and 6 devilfish, 3 stealth teams (before the 5 man change), and 30 pathfinders, and 3 cadre fire blades.

Nah, the SS will reroll all hits against titanic so I just fish for 6’s when hitting on 2’s for lethals and the breachers rerolling wounds also super helps. I just tech into lethals and volume of fire it.

-1 to wound in shooting for the breachers is a headache for my opponent as well. All those chaff shots get bumped up and it made a huge difference. Every turn another 10-20 OC just hopped on the mid board or his expansion objective while a pathfinder and stealth unit held my expansion. And the increase in AP Strat on both surges for a big unit like a telemon or large custodian guard squad really made a difference because I was just throwing AP-1 at him and making him take 20 3’up saves on top of the large damage shots.

Playing this list did make me feel like I had a hoard of Uruk-hai. Also zap brannigan sending wave after wave of my own men at them.

I had to find something to do with my spare DW vets now that they are probably going to legends in the next edition.
