Gaunt, for 25 points more, gives you something Tau fear: Death in close combat. It's very difficult to stop a conscript unit until it's too late.

Fluff? Is that the crap GW says is the backstory but changes it with every edition? If it was never meant to be run with your troops, the rules should say so. It doesn't.

It seems to me that the ld 10 bubble would be worth the 25 points alone. I can live with summary execution over fearless, however, and I wouldn't like the idea of throwing a T3 IC I'm relying on for fearless into CC even against Tau, especially considering how badly conscripts and troopers massacre Tau in CC for cost anyway.

Besides, I'd have to lose guns to fit him in, and I think I've lost quite enough heavy weapons already. Any more and I'd start questioning my ability to outshoot anything else SAFH.
