strategy is to have the warriors, brood lord, raveners and Primes get screened by hormagaunts and termagants, while they steadily moved up, have the venomthropes cover anything that won't get cover, and if the zoies get decimated by las fire and such and they dont have time to work their magic, the warriors, raveners, broodlord, and primes can charge, and with the sheer amount of attacks going into the tanks, there should be a rending pen even on armor 14, i.e. land raiders. This armor is very vulnerable to ID, so i doubt it would fare to well against all those heavy weapons from a LRBT or whatever, but it can dish out an enormous amount of damage at close range.

The theory is run a wall of thousand sons with the lash sorcerer playing quarterback with his personal retinue of TLC termies.
Deep strike the oblits where needed.
Run berserkers around both sides and up the middle around the thousand sons.
Bring in the summons for further harassment. There is a metric ton of plasma pistols in this list, a combi-melta, and Gorechild aka the can-opener. Hopefully anything assaulting the sons will get mopped by the termies or zerkers, and a massive sons anti meq line is sweet. It looks garbage on paper, but plant 17 of them on an objective and see what happens...

Should probably spread out the platoons a bit more for more PCS's for orders but i really wasnt tuning it.

around 400 lasgun shots a turn should be able to turn up some casualties against anything, creed forcing the conscripts to cover should take care of GK bolter spam with their 2+ or 3+ cover giving the rest of the army a 4+

No vehicles, no bikes(including jetbikes). Personally, I'm going with no Jump Infantry, as they aren't footsloggers.

The way I see these lists is: Think of Russia. Lots of manpower.......less resources. This particular army includes no armor support, no real speed.

I just try and use only infantry units.

If Jump Infantry/Jet Packs aren't allowed, then Tau cannot field a legal army.

Make an HQ exception for them then, I would. Just saying, the title is footslogger, and jump infantry aren't.

@StarHunter25: I like the idea of a Krootwall!

Well I'll be a little humble here and say maybe it's not the best, but it's my best attempt using Chaos Space Marines, and since I normally play Red Corsairs I can't get the idea of this as boarding party from hell. But meh, not going to brag.

Plus there is alot of T5s and other tough to remove stuff here. Oh and Inflitrating Chosen that can pop tanks and with I5 should be pretty good once they get attacked in response.

IG

What you have to understand is the first two congo lines ranks will be the throw away squads for the guard. Adding in one of the characters allows me to remove the units if its low and bring it back on the board the next turn. This will allow me to soak up your fire power turn after turn with two or three of these units moving up and taking the front rank. On top of that your looking at the master of ord putting out a pie plate at str 9 ap 3 a turn. On top of that there are two of them and if you do have a cover save. With orders I will make you reroll the cover save. Next you have to look at the 60 auto cannons a turn coming at you. Then you have to stop and think that your looking at 430 plus bodies on the other side of the board. So once you do get close that when the first rank fire starts.

Let the bodies hit the floor... ahhhh

Orkses win against that. If we get to chop summat, we win. If we die, we die fightin' so it don't count!

I'm happy fighting IG infantry with orks no matter to outcome. Either way, it's massive carnage and both parties are normally very happy!

Keep in mind Tarval that I play on small boards that generally have a decent amount of terrain so if I had to chew through your units, one by one by one, then yeah but here is the great part, the plague marines and terminators, heck even the oblits hit your line in multiple places 430 becomes 400 or even less, I lose maybe 5 because no matter what mathhammer says the of luck of the dice favors marine armies. (my personal experience is if you give them a save, they'll make it. plasma gun to the face...not so much, Str 10 weapons even, if thier AP is 4 or higher...they'll save...) I hit your lines from the the front, with plague marines, that don't run, I hit you from the sides, and then with my terminators deep strikeing behind you and assaulting your conga line from behind, and suddenly 400 becomes smaller and smaller, and S 3 keeps failing against T5 and sv +3 & +2, so basically I may be out numbered but I can box you in, and chip away.

Um, when you put 430 plus guys in deployment, you can tell me where your termies will ds. On top of that the congo lines dies and thats its job. Once its dead, that when first rank fire starts. On top of all that, I have 30 RR that when they charge are I5 and S5 so thats like um 63 attacks or something? Plus I can bring the congo line back if I remove them, that is if you dont kill the 50 guys first. They are just a speed bum and to give cover saves for the platoons in behind.

I am just plugging you thought, I do enjoy a good soap box fight every now and then. Btw, the RR have a 24" possible charge range...

Real issue I see is the GK with flame attack. I would have to work that over before they found my lines. Should not be an issue because of the volume of fire from the this army.

Hive guard to sit in synapse bubble of prime and march across board giving raveners cover until they get within about 20" and then charge. Stealers will cause trouble in front and hopefully allow the raveners to get there intact.

Spores to drop in on objectives late game with high volume shooting attack. Concerned about lack of +1 on reserve roll but not taking lictors. Could just run the zoeys and warriors on foot to get synapse on the ground.

The same question applies to tau stealth/crisis suits, wraithlords, etc.

For the purposes of this contest, lets say no. Because then the Tau would bring in their crisis suits and thats not fair for anyone.

Of course, Imperial Guard won't like this contest much anyways

This means the Tau cannot build a list for your concept. A Crisis suit is mandatory for all Tau lists (Crisis Commanders are 1+), and the Tau have no anti tank equipment that isn't suit or vehicle mounted.

Yeah you got a point there, then again can 430 models even fit in the deployment zone of a 4x4 table?

yeah but that's why you try to get ahold of as many squads as possible in one go. If I'm forced to take you apart squad by squad then it's a long day coming. It's almost imperitive I find ways to midigate first rank fire. As far a RRs go they are cavalry and not infantry. and IIRC I still get my saves from lances. That also said I'm looking at the OP saying make the list able to take on anything, i.e. balance so...yeah...

Tarval wrote:I am just plugging you thought, I do enjoy a good soap box fight every now and then. Btw, the RR have a 24" possible charge range...

Yeah same here, I try not to devolve into flame wars, but I'm too much of a poly sci college grad for my own good sometimes.

Tarval wrote:Real issue I see is the GK with flame attack. I would have to work that over before they found my lines. Should not be an issue because of the volume of fire from the this army.

GK in general IMHO. TBH I haven't got ahold of thier new 'dex but from what I've been hearing it's insanely brutal to go up against.

@No Tau Antitank: Broadsides are still infantry, so you can happily go with nine of them. That's not really enough for a truly competetive list, but it's kinda all you can do.

Total 2999
TBH even with the Horrors 10 Bolts is not great anti-tank, but the Bloodcrushers can bust lighter tanks if they're lucky. Versus Paladins, they eat 10 Bolts a Turn, each one nicely IDing provided I get past the invun. Torrent of fire should take a few more down to the popint where 8 Bloodcrushers is sufficient to overwhelm. With 24 Crushers on 60mm bases, I can herd the enemy army. It's impossible to outrun everything on a 6x4 board, so long as I get some good DS's. Versus numbers, 258 Warpfire shots should punch a hole in most anything. We also have 12 Daemonic Gaze shots to plough through tougher targets. It's not going to be beating razorspam, but most of these footlists are challenged. Ork hordes don't like losing ~42 Models a turn factoring in KFF. With the changeling, I have a decent chance, when well positioned, of forcing the IG superplatoons to shoot each other. That would be fun to watch. I haven't done calculations, but suffice to say they are also losing a LOT of models to massed Warpfire. This is without factoring in out T5 2W crushers!

Wellsince my bikes are out ... meh ... I invite those Nids, Orks and Daemons to come get some:
