Hi all! Here is my SWA Tau list, was wondering if I could get your opinions!



Thanks!

-Is the Team Leader worth it?

-Are the standard pathfinders worth it over recruits? You're only losing pistols.

- It may be boring but the best list might just be a Recon drone and as many recruits as you can fit. But, I think that would be missing the point. Cool list man, I might squeeze in a special weapon for cool factor.

My question would be how useful are the marker lights going to be without a specialist to take advantage. Marker lights are one of the few ways to get around shooting the closest model, which is awesome if your range os 30" but kind of meh when your max range is 18". A 30" range means the marker lights are not useless since you can help teammates outside of 18", but they would be a whole lot more dangerous backed up by a rail rifle.

The reasoning behind the standard ones is that they can be upgraded via missions whereas new recruits cannot and the Leader is mandatory. I was definitely thinking of squeezing in that special weapon but it is a ton of points and a higher % chance of failing ammo rolls. I should still equip one though! Which do you think is better?

Markerlights should work well when you focus fire on one target, and when you're BS3/2 across the board you're going to miss a lot so might as well make it count. The Pulse drone also increases all of their pulse weapon ranges, so their carbines are 24" which is not bad.
