Don't footslog.Or trukk you'll be ripped to pieces.So one solution.BATTLEWAGON DEFFROLLA RUSH WAAAAAAAAGH!

I've been playing 1500 games against a friend of mine who runs Tau. I'll admit I haven't beaten him, but I've pulled out some things that made him scared.

-Zagstruk bombing with a bunch of Stormboyz. Getting to his units without getting shot up is really tricky, so being able to deepstrike and then assault is brilliant.

-Deffkoptas. If you can avoid getting them shot at, koptas with TL rokkits and a buzzsaw are a great way to dive in and tie up a crisis suit or crack a tank. They can also zip over terrain that suits love to hide behind, which is a bonus.

-Mega Armored Nobz. Tau don't deal too well with 2+ saves. They'll take them down eventually, but it takes a lot of concentrated fire power, gives your other units a chance to close.

-Battlewagons. Likewise, armor 14 is tough for Tau, railguns aren't that shooty so they have to get lucky.

-(weirdly) Trukks. Unless they're battlewagons, your vehicles are going to get popped. But zipping a couple of squads of MANZ 24" closer is worth 35 points in my book.

depends on the tau really. 3 riptide tau...... yeah farsight bomb is beatable but its more the tau player having fun. and in my meta you don't see hammerheads or anything. my best odds are 6+ bws
EDIT: my solution is you don't beat tau... and just wait for the greens to get some love.

Thank you all for the lists. I will compile them as best I can. I need a win with my Orks somehow against Tau and or Shooting teams.
