I have a Revenant Angels (plays as BA) list prepared and was wondering if this has any chance against a Tau army.



Basic idea of my list is to (hope the other guy doesn't read this):

1. Split the Blandus Tactical squad into two combat squads with main purpose to hold objectives on my table edge.
2. Rush the rhino's forward and use the teleport homer in the next turn to call in the deepstriking units (Dreadnought and Terminators)
3. Use the rhino's as shields for my terminators to get in CC.
4. Unleash hell!

The main problem against Tau is obviously getting there so any tips on that are very much appreciated. Moreover i have 30 points to spare. Any ideas on how to spend them?

Get 5 man tac squads each with their own transports. NEVER, NEVER use 10 man tacs with BA. There's quite literally no reason.

Lone psykers aren't very good.

Get the dreadnought a pod and make it a furioso.

Lightning claw assault terminators aren't very good.

You can't have two crown angelics.

Never use missile launchers that aren't typhoon.

Care to elaborate on the first two statements? I'm a beginner and don't understand why bringing 5 man to the frontline with a rhino is better than bringing 10...

Also the lone Psyker comment intrigues me.

Thank you in advance.

Well. If you have 5 men in a Rhino. and your rhino gets taken out, you have 5 men stranded. If you have 10 men in the Rhino, you get 10 stranded men if (when) your Rhino dies.

If you are going to use psykers, you probably want as many as you can to maximize warp charges.

Seems logical, for a low point game it does seem a little pricy though.
