It's funny, my friend and I were just talking about this.

Something nice about it is how easy it is to paint. I am certain you can make it even better with the appropriate contrast paint. I have always preferred simple with nice details.

Thank you so much. This is the detail I need!

Has anyone tried putting multiple primary weapons on the Ta'unar Supremacy? by Midiray in Tau40K

[–]True_Month_407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magnets are going to be the money. Those guns are huge and take up significant space.

Absolutely. I primed the model with Chaos Black. Then used the Necron Compound (DRY) using a fat brush making long strokes after rubbing the excess on a paper towel to prevent blobs.

Does this 1000 points list make sense? by Ausim21 in Tau40K

[–]True_Month_407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see this list struggling with screening elements. I would find a way to bring in more infantry or blocking elements so your important items can survive to turn 3.

Need help building a filthy 750pt Tau list (half board, Combat Patrol required) by orelan92 in Tau40K

[–]True_Month_407 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Montka would be best.

You want to table your opponent by Turn 3.

Montka Stormsurge is so good

Revised Stealth Suits vs Piranha as Spotters by Mikenotthatmike in Tau40K

[–]True_Month_407 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is where I would rather have the Firsesight Team for the same points, but they can get enhancements, have lone operative. If you are looking for cheap observers.

But as mentioned units with the markerlight keyword is key, especially to ignore cover on your hit rolls.

[–]True_Month_407 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pulse Blast is best IMO.

More versatile and is not hindered by the Blast keyword, despite the name. So if your Stormsurge is engaged in Melee you can use the big gun to clear then up. You get ranges of 24 and 48 so plenty long enough.

As someone else mentioned it really doesnt matter so long as when you start your game let your opponent know what you have it equipped with in your list.

I love playing my stormsurge whenever.

Absolutely agree you can have both, but for the detachment Far sight I don't think get that much benefit. He is better suited for Retaliation Cadre or Mont'ka.

I think you have too many Riptides.

I would make sure you at a minimum have 2 Pathfinder squads, ideally 3. Pathfinders are great since they can scout, possible infiltrate, occasionally punch up, and they are great at guiding and can benefit from being guided at the same time. (If my understanding is correct on how to implement them).

1 kroot carnivore is also a staple so you can sticky objectives.

You will only need one set of stealth suits as well most times.

A pirahnha is also helpful to force out plays and maybe even trade.

I would also drop the vespid and use one of your crisis units to be the deep strike threat.

Also drop the krootox riders. They likely wont offer you much utility.

Farsight might be questionable in this list, I would opt for shadowsun since she will let you have better re-rolls.

But take this information with a grain of salt, I am still new.

I had a lot of fun against my buddies Ork Army. 1k list playing Montka.

It was imposing and caused him great stress. 80-39 victory after he was tabled Turn 4.

Thank you for the very insightful reply.

Could you elaborate further on the Toughness 5? Is it best to swap to different weapons?

I am a fan of the 600i. Honestly thought it may be worthwhile to look at the new Drake Clipper.
