First ever tau list. Not sure what works yet but this looked good to me. I would love some feedback from some fancy tau guys. I think I got all the points right. I made this late last night. I play DE so this is a little less on the pew pew than I am used to.


SKIP DOWN TO THE NEXT LIST BECAUSE I AM AN IDIOT !!!!


Plan was to leave the broadsides, a team of fire warriors and space pope behind the ADL and protect home objectives. Infiltrate Kroot up and in cover. Get the path finders in cover near the middle and mark EVERYTHING! Kroot can try and snipe biggies and ICs. Have the broad sides and hammerhead nuke things both big and small. The rip tide will do what ever it needs to.

I was thinking of making 3 5 man Pathfinders without the fancy guy and BSF to get more targets marked but I don't know.

I still havent had the chance to fully get to grips with the new dex yet. But just so you know, what you have listed is already over 2000 points before I even added Aun'va (as I dont know his points)

Either you have posted something wrong, or this isnt a 1750 point list.

I guess you can remove a few points by getting rid of the drone controller on the riptide (they dont effect missile drones, I think its pg68 of codex). Also I tend to think they are a bit expensive for what they do.

Maybe this. I am not sure I like it without the ADL. I might drop the Riptide for another crisis team then i can take ADL + Quad gun or ADL and more pathfinders
