Hey guys

I'm currently a IG player, focusing on heavy armour and mobile infantry. I'm also trying to stock up my amount of guardsmen just for the blob tactics!

But anyway, I'm thinking of getting some tau allies, crisis hq(maybe farsight), riptide, few fire warriors, piranhas (as IG FA doesn't appeal to me) and some broadside for anti air/tank

Any opinions on this?
I've seen a lot of people saying marines are good for a bolster to the 5+ IG lines, but they just bore me!

Any advice welcome!

If you have an aversion to vendettas, a Broadside squad is pretty good for anti air OR interceptor.

Whats your general lists? a lot of Tau basically involves filling in weaknesses (besides assault)

Also Magnets if you like switching weapons a lot.

I'm not sure about vendettas at the mo, there's no IG fliers in my gaming group, so never seen them really!

My current list is

HQ
CCS with
-Officer of the fleet
-Carapace
-Medi pack
-Vox

Troops
3x Veterans with
-Chimera
-2x melta
-carapace
-Vox

HS
Leman squad
-executioner
- HB, HB sponsons
-LRBT
- HB

Leman Squad

Leman squad
- Vanquisher
- Pask, HB spons, stubber, Lascannon


I've not long re-started so I'm still building up, but this is what I'm using at the min

Cheers
