Those are some tall marinnnzzz. I have actually seen the opposite happen. While the majority of the Tau could not fire, the enemy could still see the legs/lower portion of the tau and decimated them. Of course they got a cover save (which they did not need), peed on themselves, and ran away hehe.

The Devilfish in question was on a flying base.

sooo.... what you're really saying is that tau players should buy/build kneeling fire warriors AND mount mirrors on devilfish bases! time to go to the dollar store...

Dont the tau fire metal slugs? That is one hellova mirror

I dont have my BRB in front of me but isnt there a rule that states you have to use the "flying base supplied with the model" and something about not allowed to change the height of the model for modeling advantage? I dont think most people mind but I was very careful when I did my eldar flying bases. I magnatized them to the base and made sure I cut off enough of the stem to keep the height the same.

People have been predicted a rush of kneeling models since at least 2nd edition, since LOS has always worked this way.

I actually made this mistake with a firewarrior squad. I set the squad up that half were kneeling in an old edition of rules (just liked the models) but saw some advantage in this edition. Problem was I could no longer see over walls and such. When in terrain I typically blocked my line of site with terrain....DOH!!
