Am I missing something? Dont you do all movement before shooting?

Well, it'd be harder to employ the disruption pod on DF in that way, since theoretically whatever you want to FoF could probably get within 12" easy enough. But, yeah, if things were precise it could work.

Flat out moves are in the shooting phase

Tau tend to be a hard army to play anyway. got be like a surgcal knife instead of a battle axe

so glad they brough back targetlocks and buffed dpods



also we have space chickens on our side.

And Space Chicken tastes great with mashed potatoes and gravy!

I kind of like the sensor tower and turrets. Are they legal in any official 40k game and where are the rules/stats at?

They are 40k approved if i recall

i think the rules are on the fw site as an experamental rules update.

I don't know much about the Tau codex, but we have two new Tau players at my FLGS and everytime I play them with my IG I end up utterly dominating them, usually without losing a single unit or only one. I feel sort of bad, and wish I could give them advice on how to be better, but I know next to nothing about tau. Generally what happens is I blow up their 2-3 vehicles turn 1 with a hydra and some lascannons and then marbo will kill their broadsides turn 2. At that point its just a few stealth suits and fire warriors, and at one point I killed 5 deep striking stealth suits with a single frag grenade, and fire warriors don't really like griffons, it turns out.

Basically the sensor towers have TL marker light, a Positional Relay, act as a Pathfinder Devilfish for deep strike purposes, and can give one unit within 6" twin link for a turn. Pretty awesome for their cost.

Turrets are artillery pieces, and can take TLBC, TLFB, TLMP, or TLPR as you please. Base cost is pretty cheap, MPs and FBs are pretty cheap upgrades. Only BS2, but they're twin linked, so decent hitting overall. Immobile, but you can add deep strike, disruption pods, and shield generators if you so choose.

I cant find the part that states that it works like a pathfinders dfish marker beacon (which i wish it did have but i dont think that is correct)

i know the tetras have em

D'oh! You're right, they don't have it.

They do grant a unit Night Fighting though, which is pretty sweet.

Getting twinlink for a unit of Pathfinders or a formation of Tetras seems like it would be a potentially useful idea.

Other ideas would be to twin link your FWs or Kroot, especially when Snap Firing at flyers... or overwatch...

twin-linked fire knife suits. 'Nuff said. The fire knife puts out a ton of medium strength shots at good range. The only thing holding them back is their lack of accuracy without marker light help. They
