If the army is heavy with fire warriors than it seems noncompetitive to me to not take an ethereal.

I guess the real question is if throwing out fire warrior pulse rifle shots in quantities that make orks green with envy is competitive.


No the real question is "are suits competitive?" Pulse bomb is tournament proven, arguably the strongest build in the game.



I have very little experience with 6th edition. How does the pulse bomb deal with armor?

Medium armor gets missle sided to death. Heavy armor gets riptided, either IA and fusion boosted by markers, or just smashed

Edit: or in a pinch, sniper rounds

Iowa

Riptides are the hell drakes of the tau, but more universally useful, harder to kill, and usually more expesive. also DS fusion suits
