5 classic IIRC OOP Tau Stealth Suits

Game value in Victory Decision "Future Combat":
High Tech Infantry Platoon Light Support Element;
Multirole Combat Suit Special Forces Squad - 200 points; Options: Kinetic Pulse Carbines (-5 points), Infiltrator/Stealth (+32 points) and Jet-Pack (+20 points) option for whole unit, Overall Cost: 247 points

I like these!!! I want a bunch of them, well 18 of them...
Ive always wanted to fill a tau army elite with all stealth suits. i just like the idea of throwing a bunch of dice at my opponents infantry.

I ran a 6 man stealth squad with all burst. In one game they knocked 4 wounds off a wraith knight. In the other they died. Granted in the round they died my opponent was ignoring cover, so their 2+ cover save did them no good. But even in the round they wounded the knight it was barely a point trade. Sooooooo, even for a fluffy fun game they are pretty meh. I've always wanted to run them so I did. I quickly understood why people leave them on the shelf. But they are cool looking.

Well done. I still prefer these to the new xv25's and you have done a wonderful job with them.

Love em! I love everything about these the colours are brilliant and the models have so much more appeal to me than the XV25s. I would paint the Shas'Vre helmet a different colour but that is just my personal preference.

Actually its a totally valid strat.....though not with stealth suits lol. One team of stealth suits is enough because generally theres only one MAYBE two places they can be in thats a wise idea. I ran a list once with 6 stealth suits with a homing beacon and 2 crisis burst suit bombs. My opponent was like "Wtf am i facing orks whats with all the dice?!" lol

Back on topic

LOVE the edging you got there. Stealth suits are so rarely painted this way, usually people paint them straight black with a gray edge and have the tip of the gun be the normal army scheme they chose. That can be cool too, but it gets old lol

THANKS folks!
