I've seen people using the bomb with Tigurius and Farsights warlord trait to stop the scatter but I don't get how it works. Tigurius doesn't have a jump pack so can't deep strike the unit around.

How does this work then?

If the unit decides to use the Jet Pack move in the assault phase, what does Tig do?

I can't work out how he works with that list.

Can anyone help me understand?

Thanks

They use the telekinesis power gate of infinity to deep strike 24" away.

Yes but surely Tigurius can't deep strike because he doesn't have a jump pack?

Or is that only if you deep strike from reserve? Otherwise you'd have to have him on the board at the start and walk him into contact with the bomb after it's come in on turn 2?

Its not that he is Deep striking, he is using the rules for deep striking to move 24" away

Also doesn't he come in terminator armor? (i dun remember)

Edit: Also "Remove the target unit from the board. It then immediately arrives using the rules for Deep Strike"

"Your Warlord, and his unit, do not scatter when Deep Striking" Tau warlord trait

the question is is using the rules for deep strike the same as deep striking?

Edit:2 no he does not have terminator armor, so he has to start on the field with far sight together to use that combo.

3+ power armour

So how would you play it then? Infiltrate him with a unit of scouts, deepstrike the bomb turn 2 then walk him into coherency?

**Desubot**

Also cant infiltrate him with scouts.

i edited it in with the first post

He should start with them on first turn on the board.

**Thamor**

If you're arriving using the rules for deepstrike, surely he'll need a jump pack in order to do that?

I believe if we carry on with that it will belong in a different part of the forum.

So he'd have to start with the unit on the board? Turn 1 cast Gate and move 24"?

What about the Jet pack moves? does he go with them or can he not move?

**Desubot**

If your talking about the 2d6 jump in assault, the models that have it can but he him self stays put.

You start with the farsight bomb on board, Tigerius included. They won't be able to kill your bomb if they go turn 1 (you usually have stealth and shroud so 2+ cover) and you will kill their biggest threat on your first turn.

Tiggy stands at the front during the enemy turn, tanking wounds with LOS. During your turn, he moves up with the unit, does his thing (often gate of infinity) and sits around, they use assault phase move torearrange themselves for incoming fire in the new location.

I play this list. You have a really, really good chance to get GoI if you try for it.

I have the squad hide during deployment, with the Farsight bomb already on the table. (Usually behind a vehicle.) First turn they can immediately use GOI to start hopping around the table.
