Saturation fire. Nothing else, really. Shoot the blankety blank out of anything with a snotty nose. STR 10 is too hard/inefficient to come by to bypass T5. Tau have no h2h.

So, volume fire. Fire Storms or whichever Crisis Suit load out can legally pack in the most shots. TL-Burst Cans + MP plus MarkerLights to make 'em hit.

What ought to wreck tau, and missing from the above Chaos list, are Spawn, with MoNurgle. They'll be in h2h Turn 2 with a lord onna bike.

Two troops at 2k is half of what you need. MoN is best. KhorneBs are over kill in h2h versus tau. Why are you taking Vets of LW versus tau?

Totally over priced for what you need to beat tau. Get 'em a rhino, and demote to normal KBs.

Give him the bench, coach. He's the wrong player against tau ... and arguably any match up. Dreads & hellbrutes just aren't the cat's meow at all.

LasCan. You want STR 9 to ID Crisis suits.

LRs are a bad idea versus tau. There will be a railgun or longer ranged Fusion Blaster to suck your 250+ points into First Blood. I know you want it to deliver your KhorneBs (or whichever) but unless the tau player resists the die-hard tendency to have a Railhead, and he skips the longer range Fusion Blaster (unlikely!), this truck will be blown up quick.

The hell turkey is going to be your bread and butter. Hope he doesn't take the new toys to get Interceptor or Skyfire.

Got spawn? A Lord onna bike?

Dirge casters on all transport to stop their new overwatch rule i guess.

Your Khorne Berzerkers are troop choices if you take Kharn.

Ok so I'm dropping hellbrute. I have another squad of zerkers, two squads of chosen and abaddon, any substitutions? So put zerkers in rhino? What to do with termies?

The best way for you to beat Tau is with speed, but with a foot slogging marine force, if he brings a riptide with ion accelerator or a hammerhead with an ion cannon, it'll have to be your priority target, or else you marines are going to get shot off the table before they can even get there. With only one helldrake, you can pretty much consider it dead, and hide your cultists out of LOS, railcannon hammerheads with submuntions will flatten them, when markerlights remove their cover saves.

Your tactics: 1.Kill marker light infantry 2. Kill anything with a low ap template weapon 3. Kill the hammerhead with the railcannon

Bring lascannon havocs, and deepstrike the terminators, if he kills them, then fine he didn't focus on the rest of your army, if he didn't kill them, then they can go to town on his line.

Should i keep the DP? i could replace him with my lord on Jugger...... i have a DA army i could use much better against the tau but i really wanna use my CSM so i'm trying to make a list that works but isn't going great so far
