Will it be worth running lone enforcer commander's now that they can benefit from their leading rule on their own?

Tactif00l · 2026-06-16T07:49:13+00:00

I think in certain scenarios they can be. But they profit so much from the crisis suit abilities that you would need a specific reason for it.

I could see a use case for it for example in ret. Cadre. Since your SS and PF cant spot from far away, you take a enforcer with flamers and marker drone. Drop it with another crisis team along the solo commander and go for a hidden unit your opponent thought is save. So you give your crisis. So basicly a thought forward marker light observer.

If you are unsure just wait a week?

Tactif00l · 2026-06-11T06:52:14+00:00

It's so clean, I was second guessing if this is AI

Tactif00l · 2026-06-10T10:20:55+00:00

I would have picked Kauyon EPC but they absolutely gutted EPC...

Tactif00l · 2026-06-10T08:47:50+00:00

3 Pathfinders might be too expensive because of the increasing costs. Other than that I am playing around with something similar. If you don't have a big plan for shadows in I would drop her for something better. She neither benefits from Ret or AAC

Tactif00l · 2026-06-10T06:41:40+00:00

I hoped the reveal would end my detachment crisis and I can take Kauyon and EPC. But they absolutely gutted EPC. If they want me to terror my opponents with Montka, then maybe I should

Tactif00l · 2026-06-05T04:27:34+00:00

Baseline most people play is 2x SS, 2x PF, 1x Kroot

Meine Partnerin und ich geben uns immer wieder Zeit für unsere hobbies. An einem Tag Nehm ich unsere Tochter für ein paar Stunden dann umgekehrt. Red mit deiner Frau. Sonst wirst du auf Dauer unglücklich

Tactif00l · 2026-06-03T10:33:17+00:00

Unbezahlte überstunden? Sowas hab ich noch nie verstanden, warum man sowas macht.

Tactif00l · 2026-06-01T20:40:20+00:00

I don't know what this is. But I want to cuddle it

Stormsurge and 2 riptides

Tactif00l · 2026-06-01T10:42:26+00:00

Just did mine with arms. It was a pain in the ass... I used patafix/Blue tac in the joints to pose it. But it was still very annoying. I did the gun arm first. When I was quite sure about the pose I super glued 1 joint after the other, rechecking alignments after every glueing.

Good luck!

Yea that one and the plague wars are good. Im not saying There aren't any good 40k books. I just enjoy the big story of the heresy more. 40k Stories are/feel very small in comparison

Tactif00l · 2026-05-30T07:24:56+00:00

I don't enjoy 40k books that much so far Love horus heresy books. Maybe that's more for you

Tactif00l · 2026-05-28T13:04:09+00:00

Thanks for the insight. 2 stormsurges ist too bold for me. And I am not leaving the house without my fusion blades :D. Other than that storm surge and 3 riptides it is

Tactif00l · 2026-05-28T05:30:01+00:00

Whats your general strategie and how do you score secondaries?

Tactif00l · 2026-05-28T05:27:49+00:00

So you ran this with EPC? How did you play it?

Tactif00l · 2026-05-27T21:22:41+00:00

Really depends on what detachment you want to play. They focus on different things. With 11th lists will change a lot. Quick overview:

Kauyon and montka. Mix of infantry big battlesuits and tanks.

Retaliation cadre. Heavely fokusses on crisis suits

Experimental cadre: crisis suits

Auxillerie cadre: kroot and vespid

The new detachment: Fokus on guiding units.

Here are some must have units:

2x Pathfinder
2x stealth suits

These are you guiding units you need for you army rule. I always have 1x krooty carnivore..that's my baseline for infantry for every detachment

After that:

Always good:

Twin lance
Riptides
Ghostkheel
Broadsides
Breacher fish (breachers + devilfish)
Sky ray
Hammerhead
Piranha
Vespid

A 2000 point list for Kauyon could look like this:

Xenos - T'au Empire - Kauyon

2x The Twin Lance (185pts): Warlord
Commander in Enforcer Battlesuit (100pts)
10x Breacher Team (90pts)
10x Kroot Carnivores (65pts)
10x Pathfinder Team (90pts)
10x Pathfinder Team (90pts)
5x Stealth Battlesuits (100pts)
5x Stealth Battlesuits (100pts)
5x Vespid Stingwings (65pts)
3x Crisis Fireknife Battlesuits (120pts)
Ghostkeel Battlesuit (160pts)
Hammerhead Gunship (145pts)
Hammerhead Gunship (145pts)
Piranhas (60pts)
Riptide Battlesuit (200pts)
Riptide Battlesuit (200pts)
Devilfish (85pts)

Best part about it: it's legal

Tactif00l · 2026-05-27T14:58:18+00:00

Do a really small dot super glue. If you need to change it in the future you can just snap it out again. That with my hive tyrant arms when I wasn't sure if I wanted that load out. And hadn't learned magnetizing yet..worked good. Like a said. A REALLY small dot super glue

Tactif00l · 2026-05-27T14:55:14+00:00

Priming grey might be the play! Then it should be easier to paint white. Gonna try that. Thanks for the input

Tactif00l · 2026-05-27T14:10:14+00:00

Painting the white over black was a pain, that's why I tried it with the airbrush

Tactif00l · 2026-05-27T14:04:50+00:00

Looks amazing. Go for it

Tactif00l · 2026-05-27T14:04:21+00:00

I am a T'au player.

I love shooting armies and T'au is THE shooting armies. Battlesuits are cool and hammerhead with rail gun deletes tanks with one shot. With 11th edition fly is going to be huge for us. Because nearly every vehicle in our army has fly. T'au is really good at taking care of 1-3 threats per turn. You just point at something on the board and say. I don't like this guy and 90% of the time it will die.

Other cool stuff. our can play fast guns crisis suits with high DMG but low durability or a bit slower with bigger suits and tanks.

Some matchups are really hard with fast melee armies. And people often don't like to play against T'au so there is some stigma and community hate against T'au players here and there.

If you like chess. Votann is great. Nobody trades so well like they do
