Subject: Grey Knights vs Tau Empire

I am a Grey Knights player who has a friend who plays Tau Empire. I am wondering what the best tactics are when facing against a army with ridiculous firepower. What would be the best cause of action?

Depends on your army list.
If you have Strike Squads or Interceptors or Dreadknights, Deep Strike within shooting range and then follow it up with an assault. As a general principle, get into assault as quickly as possible.

If you really, really want to troll them, use the Plasma Syphon. Don't be surprised if he never plays with you again though, as using the Plasma Syphon against the Tau is widely considered to be a dick move.

I'm not going to tell you how to play the game, but you simply need to get into melee, how you do that is up to you.

Catch them fast and they will crumple, if you let them sit and shoot too long they will do serious damage to you.

Don't bring the Plasma Siphon. Its still useless as the firing unit needs to be within 12" to be effected, which means you are within 12" of the Tau.

It is all too easy to drive up that inquisitor in one transport to get in the Tau's face and then render 75% of his arsenal useless.

I know grey knights would thrash tau in close combat, but I am looking for brilliant long - range tactics. Just in case I play on a very long table.

OP, what models are you capable of fielding? If you get frustrated, just bring 3 dreadknights with great sword for a landslide win.
