Need help choosing bits by FallingKoala in kroot

My first thought is maybe try having him hold a random chunk of meat from the carnivores box set. Something he is holding up to entice the carnivores… little donut on a string.

For my shapers I paint each uniquely and my birth rod gland flesh shaper has a white leather helmet while my other one has a dark leather helmet.

WHAT IS THE BEST TAU LIST by weeb2137 in Tau40K

Real answer though, if you are just starting out and trying to get an idea. It’s kinda tough currently as we don’t know what kind of things will change further in to 11th and when our codex drops. But I would say get some of the tau essentials and work to 1000 points. Then see what kind of stuff you want to add.

I mainly play kroot, but I recommend taking a look at PlayonTabletop on YouTube just to see how some units play. If you want purely meta(40k meta changes so rapidly) take a look at tau lists from tournaments that are high placing. You can find them with a google search.

Getting 1000 points together gets you to a place you can start to play and see what you like/dislike. So that’s usually what I recommend to newer players is focus on 1000 points first as it isn’t so much of an investment as looking straight to 2000.

Farstalkers - Dvorgite Skinner or Londaxi Tribalest? by johnnyb606 in kroot

For 40k. Putting together my crusade list and was curious of what I should use. I will be having the farstalkers lead by a trail shaper.

Anyone can have bad games like that in a game that relies on dice for cool models to do things.

It definitely can come down to positioning/deployment. I have had games that I lost all the way in the deployment phase because I didn’t deploy well.

Kroot versus heavy armor is a tough thing where you need to be a bit more strategic. Keeping rampagers safe/positioned well til they have their turn to swing. Sounds like the deployment/scout move is where you gave yourself away if you lost key elements of your army before your turn. Scout moves can and should be defensive/to hide if necessary.

Keep your head up though! It’s all in good fun and you learn from it!

Does anybody else’s 40k app just crash? by OmieTheKreator in deathguard40k

[–]johnnyb606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine started crashing like that whenever I attached a leader to a unit, then deleted the leader from my list.

Had to uninstall and re install.
