It's not the size of the blade, it's how you use it.

I would drop the storm bolter of the lib.

Are you saying you have 4 termies with lcs and 1 with th ss or 5 lcs and 1 th ss?

I would add a termie priest to them makes em live a whole lot longer and hit way harder.

I would take a lr instead of the raven a crusader would carry the termies and support them with a squad or 2 of assault marines with priests in them.

Or don't take a lr but If you deep strike the termies they can end up anywhere really which can be bad :(

maybe take
mephi 250
lib jp 125
2x priests jp 150
assault squad 235
melta melta pf
assault squad melta melta pf.

Run the lib near mephi for shield and the priest nearby for fnp.
So he has a 5 up against shooting and fnp against small arms

comes to 995 if I'm not mistaken this would hit really hard and with tau fire support they mephi and the lib squad will be able to kill anything short of a 30 man ig blob squad in 1 round of cc and this way you have no vehicles to depend on

For those 5 extra points give the lib squad Sargent a th hehe re roll to hit messes up vehicles and is fun.

Well that is quite a different approach, i am not sold on mephiston though. He is a bit of a death magnet, when he works he kicks ass but a spread of melta or plasma fire taking him out really limits your hitting power. Having played with him he needs too much babysitting to bring his full weight to bare.
Why the reluctance to field vehicles?
Are power weapons and melta bombs not a better option then a powerfist as the BA will probably strike first and there will be a limited amount of super high touhness units @1k?

You don't need vehicles the reasone being the tau are your fire support and thaw what ba vehicles so you have tau to do it for you and you are in charge of cc.

The pf can kill a dread much easier because you are not hitting on 6s also for cc you squish a guy or 2 in combat.
Also for charging tanks you will be str 9 so most things having armor 10 at rear means bye bye tanks.

If you run mephi up one side of the board with a lib casting shield he gets a 5 up cover save.
The only ones that spam plasma or melta are IG so if they shoot him then you assault marines will rip them to shreds and against las he has a 2 up 4 up making him even harder to kill.
This way if you run into the big units or tough units you can do serious damage wig Mephis 7 attacks on the charge and the lib and assault squad striking befor you get hit back usually mephi kills 5 atleast usually 6 to 7 and the libs attacks that ignore armor re rolling to hit killing 2 to 3 plus the 20 plus attacks from the squad re rolling 4s usually and wounding on 3s on the charge can kill a whole lot befoe they get attacked back so that way finish them off in your opponents assault phase and move on in your turn.

Mephis squad will clear off infantry really fast like I mean for me he killed vulkan and friends in 1 turn ( 1500 points doubles)
punched out a dread right after then shot clagars last body guard in the face and did 3 or 4 wounds to calgar and he was finished off by an assault marine so him with an assault squad is extremly powerful and Killy hope I made some sense and made my point

I get where you're coming from with the pf but I'll test it against power weapon in a few trials, i would have hoped the tau would have taken out any problematic vehicles with some rail rifles. In fact the plan was that i was to be the squad killer while the tau shoot eveeything else.

I still dont believe in mephiston as you've just said he needs the support of another lib. I don't doubt his powerful cc abilities but being a unique character is a huge pain.
I would prefer dante personally since he is a cc beast, has a 2+/4+, can join a squad and i have the model :p
