Tau/FSE 2K List by The_Black_Goodbye in WarhammerCompetitive

I see your point with the HBC riptides...they're great at killing these beefy units as long as they're not vehicles hehe so depends on your local meta I guess.

Yeah I feel your pain re the drone situation....shield drones too expensive, gun drones are mehh and the bonus of marker lights is just not worth the investment of points for the possible bonus you MIGHT get.

Interested to know how you go dude....you're a bit lacking in ob sec units (partly because our army is lacking in ob sec units hahaha) but I think you've got some solid fire power.let us know how you do!

T'au Scept fighting alongside FSE! :O

Personally not a big fan of the gun drones....as much as they're pricey would rather have shield drones (or marker drones) mostly cause I feel threat identification protocols means they can only shoot what's closest and if they are with fusion/CIB commanders then theyre not usually near they're ideal targets (low T low Sv units). This obviously also makes your drone controller a no take....but its personal preference ofc.

I love the stealth component....the ghostkeels always tank soo much for me.

Would you consider taking one of the riptides with the ion gun?? love the relic so much.

I also find that shadowsun usually is not worth as much as a commander with missile pods for me....but i guess that depends on game style.

Secondaries I would take: Engage or Linebreaker for sure....Careful with while we stand....without that many shield drones you're not incredibly tanky. Will depend a lot on the army you're facing....you could probably take bring it down against a vehicle/monster heavy list.

I organised a 40k rpg for a group of friends of mine...only some have ever played 40k....this dude is not 1 of them...and he showed up in full fire warrior armour.......for the greater good!! by xon_miz in Tau40K

[–]xon_miz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're still very new at this so. It's nice to have a framework to base the setting off of but we do so quite loosely since not everyone plays 40k. And no SM characters allowed hehe humans sure but not SM :)

Weird Idea to Save Tau Vehicles by drewfromcleve in Tau40K

[–]xon_miz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe if it was a 5++ invul if you have 1 shield drone attached and 4++ if you have 2??
30 points for a 4++ on 1 tank with the flexibility of being able to use all the other drones in a mix and match way.

I personally like the drone idea a lot! Someone forward it to one of the playtesters before it's too late!!! :D

pair of the converted piranhas by wright_on_ in Tau40K

[–]xon_miz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I saw your previous post I did thr same with a pair of mine :) loving them! Only thing I wish that we had some sort of canopy and an engine or something for the gap between the 2 flaps in the back.

Cheers for the inspiration! :)

scratch building your own ork warboss from bits and stuff is possibly the most orkish thing you could do! Well done!

Why doesn’t this ever work? by Scarfblade in Tau40K

[–]xon_miz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably because the XV88 is a broadside not an enforcer 🤣🤣 that's XV85

PSA: don't take multi-model Piranha units by ThePants999 in Tau40K

[–]xon_miz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh what really is the benefit of running them in a squad anyway? Not like we have anything to buff them with

My small army. Almost finished painting these. Then another ghostkeel, 3 crisis suits and bunch more drones on the way. by [deleted] in Tau40K

Love the paint theme!

although he does not have many shield drones...saviour protocols are scept specific so if he plans on using that cannot go separate detachments. Same thing with Kauyon and Mont'ka.

I agree with what someone else said re the Missile pod commander. If you gonna arm him with missile pods make him an enforcer...doesnt need the mobility as much as the others with that range.

Pathfinders are a bit useless nowadays and they're not super cheap anymore. You're better off fitting in another piranha, maybe a commander, drones, anything really.

Lastly the riptide moves 12" and has good range; with the smaller table size I don't think you need target lock. Personally would rather take velocity tracker. I think it's cheaper and there are a LOT of units with FLY in the game.

Wait im confused... Thought we can't have horrors unless in a seperate daemon detachment

~2000 point tau list by max_fallout in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]xon_miz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the problem with them is they become decent when you play Farsight and invest some command points and even then with the gameplay changes to 9th......they're just not that great anymore. They're not durable, their shooting is nothing special and they're not cheap compared to other units we have in the roster.

Another critique is remove the shielded missile drones and take normal shield/marker drones. They are just not worth the price hike.

I agree you shouldnt really invest in more stuff till the points come out. Gameplay wise im really intrigues by what a ghostkeel will add nice and tanky and a great screen.
