How many Broadsides can you take in a Tau Army?
I noticed that they come in teams of 3, can I take three teams of 3 thus having 9 broad sides?
The same things goes for Shas'ui... can you have 3 or 9?
The HQ choice also comes with bodyguards can you take two Hq choices and thus have a total of 2 Shas'o and 4 Shas'vre?
This is all for an interesting Tau Army that is mostly Battle suits and the required 2 teams of fire warriors...

I have to admit, I miss the old Infantry battles of 4E compared to this 5E wonderland of APCs/IFVs everywhere. It's like we jumped from WWI to WWII.

BTW, It's 6 for HQ (2 commanders with 2 Bodyguards each).
And you can have many, many more if you take O'Shovah (although only 3 Broadsides).
To the OP:
Do you not have the codex? This is pretty clearly listed in it.

Ok, this all I know. However in Farsight's entry is says to the effect of allowing you to take Crisis Suits as troops. I don't have the codex on me, but my Tau playing friend and myself have both been baffled by the wording. We're fairly sure it means a squad (3) can be taken making the number of suits 26. However we're not clear if it's restricted to one squad or not due to the complicated wording. Any help here would be overwhelmingly appreciated as we've spent about two hours trying to pick it apart last week. If someone has a Tau codex handy and can help it would be wonderful.

 I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent. |
